Arcueid: Shiki? Shiki. Come on. How long are you gonna lie there?
Shiki: Oh, it's you Arcueid. Why are you here anyway?
Arcueid: You didn't keep your promise to me. I wanna know what's going on.
Shiki: Uh...
Arcueid: I waited for you the entire night. I waited so long that it's morning already. So I'm just very angry with you right now, OK? Do you understand?
Shiki: I'm sorry.
Arcueid: Why don't we go out on a date?
Shiki: Huh?
Arcueid: If you go on a date with me, I'll forgive you. What do you say? It's such a beautiful day today. It wouldn't be healthy for you to stay inside your room.
Shiki: Somehow, I never expected to hear that from a vampire.
Arcueid: Is that so?
Shiki: You seem to be having fun.
Arcueid: That's because I've always wanted to experience dating.
Shiki: You were pretty upset just a minute ago.
Arcueid: You're right about that. I wonder what made me get so angry at you.
Shiki: Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?
Arcueid: Maybe it's because you're so kind to just about everybody.
Shiki: You mean I'm indecisive.
Arcueid: But you always seem so indifferent towards me.
Shiki: That's because you are a very special person.
Arcueid: Really?
Shiki: Why are you so happy, all of a sudden?
Arcueid: Am I really that special to you?
Shiki: That came out differently than what I meant.
Arcueid: Hey, let's talk.
Shiki: OK. What about?
Arcueid: We could talk about anything. There are so many things that I'd like to talk about with you.
Shiki: Ah, you are a strange one. That's for sure.
Ciel: Tohno still hasn't shown up yet?
Arihiko: No sign at the guy.
Satsuki: I wonder if he's out on a date with Arcueid somewhere.
Arihiko: No there is no way. We're all talking about Shiki here. I'm thinking that maybe the guy just collapsed again.
Arcueid: Shiki? Aren't you having any fun?
Shiki: Huh? Oh, it's not that.
Arcueid: Hmm...
Shiki: But do you really think that we should be doing this? I mean now that Roa started moving in everything.
Arcueid: Relax. We've got nothing to worry about. He only goes into action at night.
Shiki: Yeah, I know but...
Arcueid: Hey, let's see a movie.
Shiki: Huh?
Shiki: So, what did you think?
Arcueid: Hmm...
Shiki: Was it boring?
Arcueid: No. It really moved me.
Shiki: Huh?
Arcueid: There is a big difference between hearing about it and watching it. I liked sitting in the dark like that. The sound was pretty loud, but it wasn't too noisy. But even beyond all those things, the actual story was really good.
Shiki: Oh, really?
Arcueid: I was surprised that someone would have the imagination to make up such a wild story like that. Really, I was quite impressed.
Shiki: You were? Huh.
Arcueid: So was it boring for you then, Shiki?
Shiki: Umm... It's not that it was boring. It was just ordinary.
Arcueid: Liar. Because it really was very good.
Shiki: Yeah but there are so many things that are more interesting than that.
Arcueid: Are you serious?
Shiki: Yeah.
Arcueid: I can't believe that there is even more interesting things. But I think the reason it was fun is because you were with me.
Shiki: Oh, really?
Arcueid: Uh huh.
Arcueid: What are those?
Shiki: They are Four-line Red Snappers. Cool, huh? And you can usually find them in shallow coral reef areas. In fact, they always swim together in large schools like this one.
Arcueid: What's that?
Shiki: That's a White-spotted Eagle Ray. They dive to the bottom of the ocean so they can find shells and crabs to eat.
Arcueid: Hmm. You sure know a lot, don't you?
Shiki: Yeah. Ever since I was a kid, I've liked this stuff.
Arcueid: Really? Why?
Shiki: It's so mysterious, don't you think? Because where else can you meet so many different unimaginable creatures.
Arcueid: You're right about that.
Shiki: But you know what? It's still not as mysterious as meeting a vampire.
Arcueid: That goes for me too. I never thought I'd be killed by a human.
Shiki: Sorry. Are those wounds still painful?
Arcueid: Not so much that. Instead, I think that I changed.
Shiki: I don't get it.
Arcueid: I'm not sure I even know myself. When you really think about it, we have a mysterious relationship too, don't we?
Shiki: Ah...?
Arcueid: Well, if things were different and I weren't a vampire. Then I wonder what would have happened, I mean between you and me.
Shiki: Don't talk about imaginary things.
Arcueid: But I like to. I always have.
Shiki: Ah...
Arcueid: You know? Make believe?
Arcueid: Until now, all I knew of the world was what I learned through my own experiences. I wake up from my sleep, gather the necessary information. Then go back to sleep, once my mission is completed.
Shiki: Say.
Arcueid: Yes.
Shiki: Can I ask you something? Would you mind telling me more about yourself?
Arcueid: So, does that mean you are interested in me?
Shiki: Ah... It's just that I... Well, sometimes I wonder. I wonder whether or not you're actually a real vampire. Oh, I'm sorry. Did I hurt your feelings?
Arcueid: No. But why?
Shiki: Because I see you eating hamburgers and stuff like that. I always figured the meal for vampires would be more like...
Arcueid: I hate blood I already told you.
Arcueid: I'm scared. Would you be able to do it, Shiki? Something like that.
Shiki: Don't talk about imaginary things.
Arcueid: Fine. So where shall we go next?
Shiki: What?
Arcueid: What's next? You should take me to a place where you wanna go.
Shiki: Ar... Sure.
Arcueid: Alright. So where are we headed?
Shiki: Let's see. Where should we go?
Arcueid: I know. Why don't we go to your school?
Shiki: Huh? Ar... No, we can't.
Arcueid: Why not? No one's going to be there at this hour.
Arcueid: See? What I tell you.
Shiki: Hey, Arcueid?
Arcueid: Yeah?
Shiki: Why did you wanna come to my school anyway?
Arcueid: Well, because this is where you spend most of your time everyday, isn't it?
Shiki: That's true.
Arcueid: I've always been kind of curious about all the things you do when you are here, you know. And how you spend your time?
Shiki: Huh?
Arcueid: I wanna know what makes you smile and why you cry, what makes you upset. This place, it's full of all these memories of yours that I don't know anything about.
Shiki: Arcueid, do you mean that.
Arcueid: Besides, think what it would be like if I went to school here. Just imagine what it would be like if we've existed in the same time. Isn't it fun?
Shiki: You're always imagining "what if". You like that, don't you?
Arcueid: Uhu.
Arcueid: What do you do in this room, Shiki?
Shiki: I study.
Arcueid: You study?
Shiki: Yeah. I study things like history or memorize formulas and a periodic table.
Arcueid: What's that for?
Shiki: Huh?
Arcueid: Why do you do that?
Shiki: Uh... Well...
Arcueid: Don't you know?
Shiki: Not really. It may be useless.
Arcueid: Then why do it?
Shiki: Huh?
Arcueid: One's time here is short enough as it is. So you shouldn't spend it all doing things like these that don't matter.
Shiki: I know life is short. But I'm not a machine. I can't only think in terms of efficiency.
Arcueid: It's hard to comprehend. How can you take the little time you have and spend it on something that might be useless?
Shiki: Is that really so bad? Can't it be all right to be useless?
Aoko: You are alive with the power of those eyes, remember that. And because you have this power, there is something that you still need to do.
Shiki: It's all right. Just to be alive. That's how I felt since the accident eight years ago.
Arcueid: It's just never been possible for me to think that way.
Shiki: Oh, is that so? What about today? Didn't we do useless things?
Arcueid: Ah... I'm not so sure. I hadn't really thought of it that way. Maybe this is a sign that I'm broken now.
Shiki: Huh? Oh, how are you broken?
Arcueid: Excess of emotions like joy and pain. This past few days, I've started feeling them a lot. So you see? Maybe that means I'm broken. What do you think? Am I wrong? Why do I feel so happy right now? For one thing I've never been awake this long before. But who knows? Maybe what's happening is I'm already asleep again and just having a selfish dream. And when I finally wake up, you'll be gone.
Shiki: Hey. What the heck is going on? What's the matter anyway? This isn't like you at all.
Arcueid: Ah...
Shiki: It's not that easy. You can't just figure yourself out like that. I should know.
Arcueid: You're kind, aren't you?
Shiki: Hey, listen. I've got an idea.
Arcueid: What is it?
Shiki: Maybe after all this is over, why don't you and I go out on another date?
Arcueid: Ah...
Shiki: And then we can share one more useless thing. We'll give it our best shot. And there'll be no obligations at all. It'll just be a meaningless date.
Arcueid: It's a promise. Let's go.
Shiki: OK.
Arcueid: What is this place?
Shiki: It's the tea ceremony club room.
Arcueid: Tea ceremony? What kind of club is that?
Shiki: To put it kind of simply, it's a manner of serving and drinking tea.
Arcueid: Do you belong to the tea ceremony club?
Shiki: Not really. I'm not a member of any club. But Ciel sempai treats me a cup of tea here every once in a while. Is there anything wrong?
Arcueid: Ah...
Shiki: Ah... Hey, wait. I said wait. Geez, what's wrong? Why are you like this all of a sudden? Why did you take off like that? Was it something I said?
Arcueid: It's Ciel.
Shiki: Listen, there is no secret to the fact that you don't get along with her. But you don't need to get upset just because I mentioned her name.
Arcueid: Ciel is a spy for the Church.
Shiki: What's the Church?
Arcueid: There are group of people who hate the very sight of us.
Shiki: Oh, come on. That's ridiculous. What you're saying is impossible. I've known Ciel for a long time.
Arcueid: You only think that because they forced you to think it.
Ciel: The next thing I suppose you'll say is that you've forgotten all about me.
Shiki: But why would they do something like that?
Arcueid: They did it because they believed you were the reincarnation of Roa. Because you are a member of the Tohno family.
Shiki: Why does Ciel want Roa?
Arcueid: Because, Ciel was Roa.
Shiki: Ciel was Roa?
Arcueid: Ciel was a host of Roa. And it all happened a long time ago. She carried out horrible massacres. Till one day, I finally brought it into at all and killed her.
Shiki: How could you have? Ciel is alive. You've seen her.
Arcueid: She can't really die. Because she is not alive. Ever since that time, Ciel has continued to go after Roa and never ending effort to atone for her sins.
Ciel: I can't allow you to hurt yourself. Indulge me, Tohno. Just let me enjoy being a nosy coed for a little longer.
Shiki: Well, now that I really think about it.
Arcueid: What is it? Did something happen?
Shiki: Yesterday when I was attacked by the strange guy, Ciel just came out of nowhere and saved me.
Arcueid: Ciel did that?
Shiki: Uh huh.
Arcueid: Well if Ciel showed up, then that might mean.
Shiki: The strange guy could be Roa?
Arcueid: I can't be sure yet. If it really was Roa, then I should have sensed him.
Shiki: Couldn't it just be that the character of the host is really strong?
Arcueid: What did he look like?
Shiki: His face was all covered in bandages, and he... Uh... Ah...
Arcueid: Shiki. What's the matter?
Shiki: The strange guy, the same one from yesterday. He knows all about me.
Arcueid: He knows you?
Dead:
Gyaaaa
Arcueid: Ah... Shiki. Are you all right? Ah...
Shiki: No, not again.
Arcueid: No, I will not do it. I can't even be thinking of such a thing.
Shiki: What Arcueid?
Arcueid: Please stay away from me. Please Shiki, do what I say.
Shiki: Why? What's the matter? Hey.
Arcueid: Haa...
Shiki: Ciel sempai.
Arcueid: Her again.
Ciel: This is your true nature. Do you see now, Arcueid Brunestud?
Arcueid: The truth about the white princess. The exposed scar. There is a part of me that is hungry for revenge and it sneers at myself. Next episode of Lunar Legend Tsukihime, Misfortunate Night.
Brother? Are you up yet?
My brother.
Arcueid:

Her again.

The truth about the white princess.
The exposed scar.
There is a part of me that is hungry for revenge and it sneers at myself.
