The Witch of the Ruins
Jeanne
I'm in...agony... It...burns...

Jeanne
I tried...to save them...

Jeanne
Was I...wrong to do so?

Jeanne
My God... Somebody... Anybody...

Jeanne
Please...tell me...

Angry Mob
Add to the fire! She won't burn like this!

Angry Mob
Burn the witch before she hurts anyone
else! Fan those flames!

Angry Mob
She ain't human! Witches ain't like the
rest of us!

Angry Mob
Burn, witch! Burn, burn, burn!

Mikaela
Jeanne!!!

Mikaela
You monsters! You can't execute Jeanne...!

Angry Mob
That witch is the real monster!

Angry Mob
Yeah! She brought war here... She brought
death!

Angry Mob
She betrayed us all!
Burn her to ash!

Mikaela
Jeanne never did such a thing! She could
never!

Mikaela
She put her life on the line for you! For the
entire country!

Mikaela
Isn't anyone going to try to stop this...?

Mikaela
Grown men ganging up to execute a girl!
Aren't you ashamed of yourselves!?

Angry Mob
Pipe down and get outta the way, you!

Mikaela
Damn it...
Is this how you repay us...?

Mikaela
Jeanne...
Jeanne!!!

Jeanne
(I wanted to help them... I wanted to save
them...)

Jeanne
(And this...is what I get in return...)

Jeanne
(So... This world isn't worth saving...)

Jeanne
(Never...again...)

And so, engulfed in resentment, I met my
end.

My light was extinguished.

Or so I thought...

Gossiping Villager
A witch, you say? Well I'll be a monkey's
uncle.

Gossiping Villager
Wasn't it a mermaid in a tree the other
day, eh, you old drunk?

Gossiping Villager
It's true! I saw a witch! She was in them
old ruins. You know the ones?

Gossiping Villager
That old church up on the hill? And just
what was it you were doing up there?

Gossiping Villager
Trying to walk off the beer...but that's
not the point!

Gossiping Villager
There was a girl. Stark white hair, she
had. She was chanting somethin'.

Gossiping Villager
Someone's granny out for a walk, I'd say.
You know how religious the old folks are.

Gossiping Villager
It wasn't some granny, it was a young girl.
And she wasn't bad on the eye, either!

???
Heh, that I'd love to see.

Gossiping Villager
And who are you...?

Cyrus
Oh, just a traveler. Would you mind telling
me where this church with the "witch" is?

Gossiping Villager
Watch yourself. I bet she'd curse you dead
on the spot if you went looking for her.

Cyrus
Curse me dead? Heh, this is getting better
by the minute.

Gossiping Villager
Pah, you're not even from here. What do I
care what happens to you?

Gossiping Villager
You wanna get to the church? Take the
path out the village toward the mountains.

Gossiping Villager
Follow the game trail once you hit the big
tree. You'll find it soon enough.

Gossiping Villager
Not much to find now though. It's all in
ruins. Watch out for monsters too.

Cyrus
I appreciate the warning. Well then,
gentlemen, I'll be off to meet the "witch."

Gossiping Villager
Guy's got a few screws loose. Figures, for
folks from out there.

Gossiping Villager
Do you think he'll be all right?

Gossiping Villager
You really believe in those witch stories,
do ya?

Gossiping Villager
Well... There is also that monster in the
mountains—

Strange Noise
―

Gossiping Villager
Did that sound...come from the mountains!?

Gossiping Villager
See? I told you. There's a man-eating
monster out there...

???
"Cast thine eyes upon the abyss."

???
"For within resides thy being, thine
absolute truth."

???
"Where darkness reigns, hopes are
consumed."

???
"Where darkness reigns, salvation is
doomed..."

Cyrus
I didn't realize witches read from scripture
these days.

The Witch of the Ruins
You thought that was scripture? There
must be something wrong with your ears.

Cyrus
Well, are you that notorious witch? I've got
important business to discuss with her.

The Witch of the Ruins
I don't know, do I look like a witch?

Cyrus
You look more like a saint to me, to be frank.

The Witch of the Ruins
Ah, something's wrong with your eyes too?
You poor thing.

Cyrus
Quite the contrary. There is a saint in the
North who looks just like you.

Cyrus
How about it Jeanne, Saint of the North—
That's you, isn't it?

The Witch of the Ruins
...

The Witch of the Ruins
I am no saint. Please leave. Now.

Cyrus
Now? But it's the middle of the night, and
there are monsters roaming about.

The Witch of the Ruins
You made it this far, didn't you? You'll be
fine, so you may go now.

The Witch of the Ruins
I'll have you know that these are hallowed
grounds.

The Witch of the Ruins
You'd better be respectful of God's wishes
here or else—

Bell
GONG GONG!!!

Cyrus
Such an unnecessarily loud chime...and at
such perfect timing...

Cyrus
Maybe you really are a servant of the
divine?

The Witch of the Ruins
Try me. But watch out, I might bite.

Cyrus
Well, I'd better not get on God's bad side.
We can try again another day.

The Witch of the Ruins
...

???
What a strange guy. Are you all right,
Jeanne?

The Witch of the Ruins
I'm fine. Thanks for ringing the bell,
Mikaela.

Mikaela
I'll go make sure he's really gone. You wait
here.

The Witch of the Ruins
The Saint of the North...

Jeanne
So that's who I am in this world.

The Memory of Flames
Chatty Boy
All right, the church is just up ahead!

Nervous Boy
Do you think the w-witch will show up?

Moody Boy
You scaredy cat. You're not wussing out on
us, are ya?

Nervous Boy
I'll go, I'll go!

Moody Boy
And you need to bring us the picture from
the church to prove you went there.

Nervous Boy
Picture?

Chatty Boy
It's of an angel or something. I heard
about it from my old man.

Chatty Boy
Oh, and you should probably take a torch
or something with you.

Nervous Boy
Will that work against the witch?

Moody Boy
They work against large animals.
Figured they'd work on witches too.

Nervous Boy
Okay... Well, I'll try.
Here I go...

Chatty Boy
You think he'll be all right?

Moody Boy
Wanna go instead?

Chatty Boy
No way!

Jeanne
Should I even be here?

Jeanne
Why did you let me live?

Jeanne
Why did you even answer my prayers,
Lord? Why mine, of all people...

Jeanne
We are not of this world. We are outcasts,
forever alone.

Jeanne
Abandoned even by God...

Jeanne
Say, Mikaela...

Jeanne
Mikaela?

Jeanne
Did she go off on a walk?

Knock, knock

Jeanne
(Strange, Mikaela wouldn't knock...
Is it that guy again?)

Nervous Boy
Um, excuse me. There's no one here, right?

Jeanne
Who are you?

Nervous Boy
I-Is that...the witch!? I... I have a torch!

Jeanne
!!!

Jeanne
Don't point that at me!

Jeanne
Not...fire...

—Scum!—Traitor!—Burn!—

—Burn!—Burn the witch!—More wood!—

Jeanne
Please, no! I can't stand the pain...!
Don't hurt me! Don't burn me—!

Jeanne
PLEASE, NO NO NOOOOOOO!!!

Nervous Boy
—Eeeeeeek!

Jeanne
Huff...huff...

Jeanne
Ah, I lost my self-control... Are you oka—

Nervous Boy
Waaaaaah!!! A witch! A real witch!
She's gonna kill meeeeeee!!!

Cyrus
So, he thinks you're a real witch.
Kids these days.

Jeanne
When did you...
Did you see all that?

Cyrus
Yeah, the whole thing.
As in, I saw you hurt an innocent, little boy.

Cyrus
Can't say I'm all that impressed, to be
honest.

Jeanne
I-I did not...!

Jeanne
No, I'm not going to explain myself to you.
Out of my way, please.

Cyrus
Apologies. And where are you headed,
may I ask?

Jeanne
None of your business.

Cyrus
To make amends, I see...

Cyrus
I am surprised she didn't actually hurt the
kid in all that ruckus, though.

Cyrus
Is there a sliver of good somewhere inside
you...

Cyrus
...or were you just holding back?

Cyrus
Either way, looks like we've found the
real deal. Right, partner?

Nervous Boy
Huff...huff...

Nervous Boy
She was there... A real witch...

Nervous Boy
I've gotta let the others know!

Monster
Grrrr...
Grrroar!

Nervous Boy
Eek! A m-monster!?

Monster
Aghhh...
Gh...ghaaa...

Nervous Boy
Huh?

Jeanne
Phew, I made it in time.

Nervous Boy
The w-witch...

Jeanne
The mountains are full of monsters. Didn't
anyone tell you not to stray from the path?

Nervous Boy
D-Did you come to k-kill me?

Jeanne
Why would I kill someone whose life I just
saved? Come with me.

Nervous Boy
Where are we going?

Jeanne
I'm taking you back to the village. Or do
you not want to go home?

Nervous Boy
I-I do...

Jeanne
Then get off your butt and come on.
Another monster could show up any minute.

Nervous Boy
O-Okay! Wait up!

Nervous Boy
H-Hey, um, are you really a witch?

Jeanne
Yes, and I hate children, so you had best
keep your mouth shut.

Nervous Boy
You're not like what they say about you.
I thought you'd be scarier.

Jeanne
Are you deaf or something? Seriously...

Cory
Hey, Miss Witch, what's your name? My
name's Cory.

Jeanne
And this is why I hate children.

Cory
Hey, Miss Witch! Can you hear me?
Hey, hey, Miss!

Jeanne
All right already!
...My name is Jeanne.

Cory
Jeanne!
Nice to meet you, Jeanne!

Jeanne
Hmph.

Cyrus
You're back.

Jeanne
And you are still here. What do you want?

Cyrus
You took the boy back home.

Jeanne
Did you think I was going to eat him?

Cyrus
Well, you are a witch. But then, you're a
witch who acts like a saint.

Jeanne
I despise children. They're rowdy and they
always cry, they're simple and cruel...

Jeanne
It would kill me to know I was indebted to
a child. So I paid my debt. That is all.

Cyrus
Oh really?

Jeanne
Why are you looking at me like that?

Jeanne
And why do you keep following me around?
Spit it out, whatever it is you want.

Cyrus
Okay, let's cut to the chase.

Cyrus
You're not from this world, are you?

Jeanne
!!!

Jeanne
How do you know that...?

Jeanne
You're not here...to get rid of me, are you?

Cyrus
Of course not. First of all, I'd be no match
for you.

Cyrus
You are a unique being, which is precisely
why I—why we—were looking for you.

Jeanne
What do you mean?

Cyrus
Death and destruction lie in wait for
this world.

Cyrus
We need the help of your extraordinary
powers to avert this fate.

Jeanne
You overestimate me. I'm just a pathetic
girl who panics at the mere sight of fire.

Cyrus
Give yourself some credit and stop
running away already.

Cyrus
You have a job to do here.

Jeanne
A job to do...

Mikaela
Ugh, not this guy again!
Leave Jeanne alone!!!

Cyrus
Huh?

Cyrus
There's no-one else here, but I can sense
intense murderous intent...

Cyrus
Could it be...the god of this church?

Mikaela
I'm her sister, you oaf!

Cyrus
Well, anyway. Think about it, Jeanne.
I'll be back.

Jeanne
...

Mikaela
I'm so sorry, Jeanne! I shouldn't have left
you all alone...

Jeanne
He knows we're not from this world.

Mikaela
He what!? What did he want?

Jeanne
I'm not really sure...

Jeanne
I guess I really was never meant to come
back from the fire...

Mikaela
Don't say that, Jeanne!

Mikaela
Come on, I'll bet this dreary place is what's
getting you down.

Mikaela
I found a pretty neat spot on my walk,
wanna check it out together?

Jeanne
But...

Mikaela
Come on, let's go!

Jeanne
Okay...

Cory
Ooh, I can smell stew... Feels like I just
came back from a great adventure.

Cory
I think Jeanne is a really nice person.
Even if she does hate kids.

Cory
She even waved to me when I said goodbye!

Cory
Though she made a really annoyed face
while she did it...

Cory
I've gotta tell everyone about her!

Cory
...Ah, shoot! I forgot to get the picture while
I was at the church! What now...

Cory
Maybe Jeanne will let me borrow it if I
ask nicely...

Cory
But there are monsters back there...

Cory
No! I can't be a scaredy cat my whole life!

Cory
I'll take care of this, before they get a
chance to make fun of me...

A Brief Respite
Back when we were still human, our world
was ravaged by a war.

As to what sparked the war, there was one
prevailing theory.

Mikaela
Your Majesty! Please, let her go!

Mikaela
Do you really think she would leak military
secrets?

King
I must admit, the contributions of both
you and your sister to our country are

King
significant, and as such I would be
inclined to—

Minister
You mustn't, Your Majesty! You would be
playing right into their hands!

Minister
The nobility are calling for immediate and
swift justice for the witch's crimes.

Minister
If they were to get wind that she was to be
pardoned...

Minister
It would not bode well for the people's
trust, to say the least.

Minister
This war has caused great discontent. As
such, I suggest a public execution.

Mikaela
How could you suggest such a thing!?

King
I suppose...it is the only way.

Mikaela
Your Majesty, Jeanne fought for this
country... For everyone here!

Mikaela
She's not even a proper warrior, just a girl
who loves flowers, and yet she still—

Minister
Then we shall provide a special floral
offering for her grave.

Mikaela
You bastard!

Minister
Unsheathing a sword on castle grounds
is an act of treason!

Minister
Guards! Take her away!

Mikaela
If you execute her... I won't let you get away
with it! You hear me!?

The knight who tipped them off with a false
report was the same one who took me away.

Maybe he was jealous of how admirable
Jeanne proved to be on the battlefield.

Rumors spread, and Jeanne was made out
to be the instigator of the entire invasion.

And I couldn't do anything to stop it.

Jeanne saw it all in one of her visions...
The destruction of the kingdom...

She laid her flowers down to take up a
sword instead, and still...

Still...

Angry Mob
More wood! More wood on the pyre!

Angry Mob
Burn the witch before she hurts anyone
else! Fan those flames!

Angry Mob
She ain't human! Witches ain't like the
rest of us!

Mikaela
When I broke free from my prison cell,
what I saw was hell on earth.

Mikaela
Jeanne's screams echoed throughout the
entire town...

Mikaela
While people whooped and cheered.

Mikaela
I didn't know who to blame... Who to kill...

Mikaela
So I just struck the ground with my sword
and cried my heart out.

Mikaela
Aaaaaaaaaaaarghhh!!!

Mikaela
This world means nothing to me anymore.
Without Jeanne in it... Without her...

???
I will save your sister.

???
I understand your anger, your despair—

???
I am the only one who understands.

Mikaela
You can...save Jeanne...?

???
Yes. I can save her. I can save you.

Mikaela
...What do I need to do?

???
Enter into a contract with me. That is all.

???
Do it, and both of you shall be safe in my
world.

Mikaela
You can't save her here?

???
I am quite sure you would rather not stay
here. As would she.

Mikaela
...You're right. There is nothing left for us
in this world.

Mikaela
And I'd do anything to put an end to her
suffering...

???
Then the deal is sealed.

???
You will disappear from this world, and
be reborn again into my world.

Mikaela
Good! Whatever it takes, I don't care! As
long as I can save Jeanne...

???
I have high hopes for you both.

Mikaela
Hold on, Jeanne... I'll save you...

Chief Executioner
H-Huh?
What is happening?

Chief Executioner
I can't hear her anymore...
Wait a minute, she's gone!?

Chief Executioner
She can't have burned down that quickly!

Chief Executioner
And even if her flesh had burned, there'd
be bones!

Chief Executioner
Quick! Put the fire out! We need the bones
to prove she's dead! Or else it'll be on us!

And that's how we came to this world.

We were transformed—
And I lost my life in the process.

But I don't mind.

Because she's alive.

Jeanne
Mikaela, what's wrong?

Mikaela
Oh, nothing...

Mikaela
Hey, look over there!

Jeanne
A...fountain? What is it doing here?

Mikaela
Don't you think it looks just like the little
fountain near our old village?

Jeanne
Yes, it does...

Jeanne
But, Mikaela...

Jeanne
Why are you wearing a bathing suit?

Mikaela
I felt like changing things up a bit. Come
on, why don't you try it too!

Jeanne
Me?

Mikaela
Come on, just do it!

Jeanne
...

Mikaela
Yep, looking good! There she is, that's my
little sister!

Jeanne
This will "change things up"?

Mikaela
Oh, it will! Come on, like this!

Jeanne
Ack! Don't splash me!

Jeanne
Unless you're ready for consequences—!

Mikaela
Yikes!
Not bad, Jeanne!

Mikaela
Haha, this reminds me of when we used to
play by that fountain.

Jeanne
Geez, how old were we back then?

Mikaela
I remember it like it was just yesterday.

Jeanne
We used to have so much fun together...

Rustle, rustle

Mikaela
It's just a bird.
It flew off.

Jeanne
I thought it was that deranged man for a
moment.

Mikaela
He did say he'd be back...

Mikaela
Why don't we go check what's over there?
I think I can see something.

Jeanne
Wow, what a deep cave...

Mikaela
Kinda creepy, huh?

Jeanne
...

Mikaela
And not just the cave, eh? You've been cling-
ing to me ever since we entered this forest.

Jeanne
So that I wouldn't get lost...

Mikaela
Really? I could have sworn it was because
of something else...

Jeanne
You're being mean. You've got that same
look as that guy had.

Mikaela
That guy? With the moustache and all!?
No way!

Jeanne
I think it's time to go home to pray.

Mikaela
No, wait, Jeanne! Don't you want to check
out this cave?

Mikaela
Sorry! I'm sorry...!

Jeanne
I am no longer upset with you.

Mikaela
Such proper language! You don't usually
talk to me like that.

Jeanne
I'm not mad at you, okay?

Mikaela
Oh, thank God. I'm really sorry.

Jeanne
It's fine.

Jeanne
I'm the one who should be apologizing.

Jeanne
I'm the reason you died...

Mikaela
What are you talking about? We've been
over this before.

Mikaela
I'm just glad that you're alive, Jeanne.

Jeanne
...

Mikaela
And I can still interact with the world!
Not with people, though...

Mikaela
But I can still talk to you! That's enough
for me.

Jeanne
...Thank you, Mikaela.

Mikaela
Come on, let's head back to the church.

Jeanne
I'm so, so sorry, Mikaela.

Villager
Did you find him?

Villager
No, I can't find him anywhere!

Villager
Hey, what's going on? What's with all the
hubbub?

Villager
One of the kids has gone missing!

Villager
Gone missing? Was it the other night?
I did see a strange woman with a child...

Villager
Did she have white hair?

Villager
Yeah, she did... So what?

Villager
It's the witch!

Villager
The one from the church? So it wasn't just
a rumor...

Villager
Witch or no witch, we got a kidnapper on
our hands!

Villager
Right, round up the men and arm
yourselves! We're going to the church!

Forgotten Voices
Cyrus
Did you enjoy playing with water?

Jeanne
Y-You were watching me!?

Jeanne
...

Cyrus
No, no. You misunderstand. I just noticed
your hair was wet.

Cyrus
Though yes, I have been watching you
these past few days...

Jeanne
Perverted cockroach...

Cyrus
Come on, I said I wasn't perving—

Jeanne
Do me a favor and keep your mouth shut.
The air gets all filthy when you speak.

Cyrus
Haha, what a sharp tongue you have!
I like it.

Jeanne
So you are a pervert.
Just go away and don't bother me again.

Cyrus
Well, I do have other things to do, so I'll
make this our last meeting.

Jeanne
I am...glad to hear it.

Cyrus
I stopped by to give you a warning.

Jeanne
Thank you, but I will pass.

Cyrus
Just listen to me. The cards say danger is
at hand. Fleeing would be advisable.

Jeanne
Sounds like a bunch of hot air to me.

Jeanne
And where would I go, anyway?

Cyrus
If you've got nowhere to go, then go to
this spot on this map. Here.

Jeanne
This spot? And what exactly is this pla—

Jeanne
Huh? He's gone?

Mikaela
What is with that guy? What a weirdo,
seriously...

Mikaela
Well, what should we do with this map?

Jeanne
I'm too tired to think about it. I'm going
to say my prayers and go to bed.

Mikaela
I'll handle the map, then. Good night,
Jeanne.

Jeanne
Good night, Mikaela.

Villager
So this is where the witch lives...

Villager
I don't hear any children...

Villager
Which means the witch has already...

Villager
We can't let her claim another victim!

Villager
Do we just break the door down?

Villager
Are you bonkers? She'd cast some horrid
spell and we'd be dead meat.

Villager
I have an idea—

Mikaela
—nne! Jeanne!!!

Jeanne
Mmh, Mikaela? What's wrong?

Mikaela
Get up, Jeanne! Quick!

Jeanne
Cough, cough... Smoke!?

Mikaela
The church is on fire!

Jeanne
On...fire?
On fire!?

Mikaela
Jeanne! Calm down! You have to stay calm!

Jeanne
Mikaela... I can hear them...
Just like before!

Voice of a Villager
Burn the witch!
Burn her!!!

Voice of a Villager
Child murderer!!!

Voice of a Villager
Make her disappear!!!

Jeanne
It's just like before...!
Like back then...!

Mikaela
It's okay, Jeanne! That's in the past. We're
here now, in this world. We were saved—

Jeanne
We were not saved, Mikaela! We just ran
away! We're always running away...

Jeanne
I'm...done...

Jeanne
Cough, cough!
Cough, cough, cough—

Jeanne
(I'm tired of running. I'm done... I just...)

Jeanne
Is that...the cave from yesterday?

Jeanne
The village is...being destroyed...

Jeanne
It's being destroyed by a great beast...

Jeanne
It's...eating everyone...

Jeanne
Men, women, children...

Jeanne
And that's...that boy?

Jeanne
—Cough cough!

Mikaela
Jeanne! Are you okay?

Jeanne
What was that vision for...?

Mikaela
Vision? Did you see into the future again?

Jeanne
Was I shown all of that...so that I can save
them?

Jeanne
Why me? Why now? Everyone hates me...
Just like back then...

Mikaela
Jeanne, not everyone hated you back then.
Remember the children.

Jeanne
The children?

Mikaela
Try to remember that day.

Jeanne
That day...

Angry Mob
Burn, witch! Burn, burn, burn!!!

Angry Mob
Burn the witch! Kill her!!!

Jeanne
(That day, I did hear children's voices
amidst all the jeering and laughing.)

Jeanne
(They were so faint that I could barely make
them out, but I know they were there...)

Crying Boys
Stop it!

Crying Boys
Stop! She's a nice lady!

Crying Girls
Somebody help her! Please!

Jeanne
The children...

Mikaela
I heard them too. The kids were on your
side.

Mikaela
To them, you were Jeanne, the nice lady.
That's what they called you.

Jeanne
Yes, I heard that too...

Jeanne
Oh, right. The boy.

Mikaela
The boy?

Jeanne
Mikaela, it looks like I can't die just yet.

Jeanne
I have to help that boy. I have to save him.

Mikaela
If that's what you want to do, then I've got
your back.

Jeanne
Thank you, Mikaela...

Mikaela
Still, the church is on fire. Are you gonna
be okay getting out of here?

Jeanne
I'm scared...but I can't be scared for the
rest of my life.

Jeanne
I'm going.

Villager
There she is!
Here comes the witch!

Jeanne
Huff...huff...huff...

Villager
She's out of breath! She's weakened!
Now's our chance!

Villager
Kill her before she wreaks havoc on the
village!

Villager
Die, you rotten witch!
Take this!

Jeanne
Ngh...!

Villager
I got her! Right through the heart!

Jeanne
Aaaaaghhh!!!

Villager
What in the... She just pulled the spear
straight out!?

Jeanne
(The concept of death is a fading memory...
because I am no longer alive.)

Villager
Eeeeek! She really is a witch!

Villager
No, she's a monster—!

Jeanne
Monster... I suppose that is what I am.

Villager
D-Don't come any closer!

Jeanne
Out of my way. There's somewhere I need
to go.

Villager
Where is she going?

Villager
N-Not to our village...right?

Villager
Q-Quick! Chase her down!

Her True Nature Revealed
Mikaela
Is this where you saw the beast?

Jeanne
I'm not sure, but I definitely saw this cave
in my vision.

Mikaela
I don't know if I'll be able to fight alongside
you, Jeanne. I'm sorry.

Jeanne
No, it's fine. I know you'll be right behind
me.

Mikaela
You seem different, Jeanne.
It's like you've grown a bit.

Jeanne
Not at all. I'm still afraid.

Jeanne
So...I'm glad to have you by my side.

Mikaela
Now there's the Jeanne I know and love!
Oooh, I just wanna hug you!

Jeanne
Ugh... Can you...not...

Mikaela
Nooo, wait, Jeanne∼

Mikaela
Looks like this is as far as we can go.
And hey, there's our guy.

Jeanne
Yes, that's definitely the beast I saw in
my vision...and it's already awake!

Colossal Beast
GROOOOOAAAAAAAR!!!

Mikaela
Okay, this thing is huge!
Jeanne, to your right!

Jeanne
...!

Mikaela
Jeanne! Are you okay?

Jeanne
Yeah, I managed to dodge it—Oof, my chest!
My chest hurts!

Mikaela
(That stab wound from earlier...
Why hasn't it healed yet!?)

Mikaela
(Right, it must be because they went for her
heart! She might be immortal, but still...)

Jeanne
This pain... It almost makes me feel
human again...

Mikaela
Here it comes again, Jeanne!
From the left—no, from above!

Jeanne
Ngh... My feet...

Mikaela
!!!

Jeanne
(There's no running away this time—)

—

Jeanne
A...tarot card?

Mikaela
Did it just protect you from that attack?
No way...

Jeanne
(It came from the map that man gave us.
Honestly, that was unnecessary...)

Jeanne
There is something I must do in this
world. I can't die now, can I?

Jeanne
So—!

Jeanne
Take this!
My ultimate attack!

Colossal Beast
GROOOOOARRRRRR.....

Jeanne
Ngh...uh...

Mikaela
Jeanne, are you all right? You're hurt,
don't overexert yourself!

Jeanne
He's still...in danger—

I watched as Jeanne dragged herself up to
the beast and sliced open its belly.

Sure enough, the boy was inside.

She became frantic when she realized he
wasn't breathing—

"Jeanne, you stink..."

—but when he opened his mouth, her face
got so red I thought she was going to burst.

It's been so long since I saw her with such
a human expression....

The next day—

Cory
Where are you going? Aren't you the one
who said we should come say sorry?

Villager
But, Cory, my dear boy...

Villager
Are we supposed to just go up to her, tail
between our legs, and say—

Villager
"It was actually a monster all along. Sorry
'bout everything, miss!"

Villager
I stabbed her right in the heart, you know?

Villager
We set her home on fire while she was
sleeping...

Villager
Maybe she's a good witch, a good person
even, but how could anybody forgive that...

Cory
Yes, but if you don't go and say you're sorry,
she might just attack the village after all.

Cory
I know she's tough enough.

Villager
We... We can't have that!

Cory
Go on then! Say you're sorry. I'm sure
she'll forgive you if it's from the heart.

Villager
Right...

Cory
We're sorry, Jeanne!

Cory
Huh? She's not here...

Villager
Maybe she went out for a walk?

Villager
Rats, we missed her. Well, we'll just have to
come back another time.

Villager
Them fields won't plow themselves...
We'll come back tomorrow.

Villager
Or better yet, the day after. Yeah, we'll
come back the day after.

Villager
You said she's a nice lady, Cory. I'm sure
she'll understand.

Cory
Really! Ugh, you guys...

Cory
I really wonder where she went, though...

Mikaela
Are we really going to just leave without
saying goodbye? What about the boy?

Jeanne
I hate children.

Jeanne
They're rowdy and they always cry—

Mikaela
They're simple and cruel...?

Jeanne
And if you show them the smallest kindness,
they get those big smiles on their faces...

Jeanne
I can't stand them.

Mikaela
Heh, if you say so. So, are you sure you
wanna go to that place on the map?

Jeanne
It's not like I trust that guy, but it's not like
we have anywhere better to go either.

Jeanne
And besides, I want to know why he
showed up on our doorstep...

Mikaela
Maybe he'll be there when we arrive.

Jeanne
Mm, I can hardly wait.

Cory
Jeanne!

Jeanne
You...
What are you doing here?

Cory
I should be asking you! You're not leaving,
are you?

Jeanne
I am. I think it's best for the village if I
am no longer around.

Cory
But we came to tell you we're sorry... I'm sure
everyone will welcome you this time!

Jeanne
Thanks, but no thanks. I am not
interested.

Cory
I see...
So you're really leaving...

Cory
If it weren't for you, I would've died in that
beast's belly...

Cory
You're not a witch, and you're not a
monster, Jeanne!

Cory
To me, you're a saint!
Saints are kind and strong, like you!

Jeanne
...!

Jeanne
I only saved you so I could save myself.
If you want a saint, go get that other Jeanne.

Cory
The other Jeanne...?

Jeanne
Never mind. Goodbye.

Cory
I'll see you again, Jeanne! I promise!

Mikaela
He really likes you, "Saint Jeanne."

Jeanne
I'm no saint.

Mikaela
Oh, but you are—

Jeanne
No, Mikaela.

Jeanne
I am beyond the realm of humans,
beyond the realm of the living.

Jeanne
That is why they call me what they
do—

Jeanne
The harbinger of evil who will doom the
world...

Dark Jeanne
The final Aeon Lord.
