[bunniefuu]

Are you awake?

Don't worry. I won't suck your blood.

My name is Elisha. What's yours?

Momo.

Where's Fine? Where is my friend?

She's fine.

Where? Where is she?

Don't be hasty.
I can show you where later.

But first, eat this.

You were lucky.

It was by chance
that we stumbled upon you.

This is delicious.

It looks like they like you, Momo.

Watch out below.

-There's electricity?
-Yes.

As a result, we have no shortage
of food or blood here.

So we don't have to fight
and can live peacefully together.

You really are living in harmony.

You believe it now, don't you?

That this place is a paradise.

So please don't look so sullen.
Show me your smile.

Come with me. Your friend is this way.

Are you feeling all right?
Perhaps we should try…

Please keep resting.

Shut up. I can't sit around in this place.

No, you mustn't open that.

You still aren't fully recovered.

Fine!

Elisha, good timing.

Momo. You're all right?

Yes. You're looking a lot better too.

This is Elisha. She helped us.

Is that right? You have my gratitude.

Look, Fine, we made it.

The place we were looking for.

This place?

Please, let me out of here.
I can't do this anymore,

being connected to these tubes
and having my blood drained.

Keep your hands off of her.

How did you manage to come out this far?

Beware! You should watch out.

-Protect your friend!
-Please, wait outside.

-There now. Calm down.
-Let go! Don't do this!

Sorry about that. That was a vampire
that we'd taken in recently.

-He has a blood disease.
-A blood disease?

I'm sorry you had to see that.

-You must be elated, Elisha.
-What?

You've been saying for the longest time

that you wanted a friend
around the same age as you.

I told you not to tell anyone.

that you want a friend
around the same age as you.

What's with this eerie-looking ship?

I've never read anything about this place.

Hello.

Plus, that guy from earlier seemed like
he was held against his will.

I'm sure you're overthinking it.

Hey! Come over here!

I told you,
I've never seen a map like that.

I only gave them a place for the night.

Now leave me alone.
I want nothing to do with humans.

I've seen cards like this
being passed around before.

Do you recognize this place?

I believe it's somewhere
in the ice lands up north.

But that area is vast.

-It's Volskaya.
-What?

It's a village
located in a permafrost region.

I've seen this church
in our research material.

A submarine washed up, causing
massive environmental contamination.

The native villages have all perished.

How do you know about this?

Any scientist would know about this.
Let's get going.

Boss.

You have a call from Central.

There we go.

You can add more wood yourselves
if it's not hot enough.

Thank you.

This feels great, doesn't it?

Momo. Take this.

Protect yourself with this
if anything happens.

What?

We'll see for ourselves

whether this is really the place
that we've been looking for.

Yeah.

Could you hold onto that, Fine?

Where are you going?

I'm taking a cold plunge. You should come.

Really? I don't do too well with those.

I know.

To this day, vampires and humans on
the outside are unable to cease fighting.

I'm grateful that the art and music
that we've created guided you here.

Welcome to our village.

I've traveled from Central with hopes
of finding a better place like this.

If there's any way I can contribute
around here, please let me be of service.

You're next, Fine.

Thanks for having us.

All right, everyone.
Let's get things started.

Momo, come dance with me.

-Go on. Dance.
-Now, come with me.

Like this.

And then jump.

Then do this.

Now together.

Momo!

We're officially friends now.

Let's stay like this forever.

Yeah. Thank you.

Fine.

Thank you.

For what?

I feel so happy right now.

I can't believe there are
this many people that love music.

Back in my town,

singing and dancing
was strictly prohibited.

But the people here are so free.

So thank you, Fine.

For bringing me here.

Freedom, huh?

-Momo, you--
-Momo!

We're about to start up again.

Okay!

Fine, what's wrong?

Nothing. I need some air. You go ahead.

Okay. I'll be waiting for you.

Here. Come on.
Everyone can't wait for you to come back.

You've managed to travel quite far.

Allegro, how are you here?

This makes me think of old times.

Remember when we used to sneak out
of town together when we were kids?

We went searching for places like this.

Fine, let's go home.
You can't keep pushing yourself.

Your body won't hold up much longer.

Don't confuse your past
with that Warm girl.

Can't you hear?

She seems to be doing fine without you.

I'll be there for you
if you can't bear it on your own.

If my being here

will get in the way
of her happiness, then…

Fine, come home with me.

I hope you're not feeling sorry for Momo

and you haven't been
letting her get away on purpose.

She's been hard to handle.
Just like her mother.

How far is it from here?

Going across the lake
should take about six hours.

That stinks!

Stop smoking. It's evil.

It's hard to believe
you've chased after her this far.

Do you think you understand
how this feels for a mother?

Let's go.

"For a mother"?

Aren't you just desperate
to maintain your status?

If Momo died, the guys at Central
would get off your case.

You'd have a chance at maintaining
your authority if that happens, right?

Our country has no use for traitors.

If you choose to disobey,
you have to deal with the consequences.

Fine?

Use this if something ever happens.

Momo, what's wrong?

-Fine has left.
-What?

That's horrible.

-I have to go find her.
-Calm down, Momo.

Leave it to us. We'll find her.

-But…
-It's all right.

I'm sure we'll find her in no time.
Wait here.

There are lakes that are starting to melt
all over this region.

-It's very dangerous.
-Wait!

-Please protect her.
-Leave it to me.

Elisha!

-Let's go.
-Be quick.

Please, let me help too!

Hurry. There will be a storm
in the east this afternoon.

Move quick. Head west.

We're using valuable energy.

Be sure not to lose them.

I have to get out of here somehow.

You should lie down.

You don't have enough blood in you.

Wait here. I'll call for backup.

That postcard claimed
that this is a paradise.

A place where humans and vampires coexist.

Careful not to develop
any compassion for them.

I'm a different person
than I was back then.

I'm not some 15-year-old punk anymore.

I hope that's true.

This paradise isn't real.

I can't say exactly
what tactics they're using to cover it up,

but I'm positive it's all deception.

Hey. Oh, no.

Fine.

Momo, please stop.

If not, I'll have to sh**t.

Crap.

What did I tell you?

You were supposed to keep her locked up.

-Crap.
-Ambush her from above.

Okay.

Look below you.

You can see the duct, right?

Get inside from there.

Hurry.

She's not here.

This way.

Come this way.

I won't hurt you.

Please.

Get me out of here.

Thank you.

What is this machine for?

I don't know why,
but they keep pumping me full of blood.

Then they somehow use
my regenerative ability

to generate electricity.

You saw the postcard too, didn't you?

They use that to lure people
who have nowhere else to go.

And they use vampires
like they've used me.

Fine is in danger.

Hurry! You have to leave!

If we sacrifice a few people,
everyone else can live peacefully.

It's an amazing idea, isn't it?

This place is the only paradise
on this planet.

Where is Fine?

She'll be here soon.

And she'll replace that man--

You really do put up a good fight, Momo.

I still can't believe
people can exist out here.

This rustic town
runs off of that enormous submarine.

This'll be interesting.

You think you've made it this far
without hurting anyone else?

Don't forget that you arrived here
in blood-soaked clothes.

Which means you k*lled someone
at some point, right?

But it's okay.

If you beg for forgiveness,
we can put all of this behind us.

We'll accept you.

Good evening, travelers.

What has brought you
this far into the countryside?

A girl, around 14 years old,
must've come through here.

Her name's Momo.

No one matching that description
has passed through here.

You're wasting your time. Drop the act.

That's what I'm talking about.

-Is everyone prepared?
-Yes.

All right, begin the attack.

k*ll all invaders!

It's just like Fine said.

I was stupid to believe their lies.

I missed.

Spill it. Where is Momo?

She escaped. Into the submarine.

Looky, I found you.

What will you do now?
How are you going to scuttle away?

Maybe you'd like to try calling for help?

Try it. Say, "Fine."

It's no use trying to run.

You're going to live here.

You wanted to.
That's why you came here, isn't it?

We promised
that we'd stay together forever.

Come on. Say you agree.

Didn't we say we were officially friends?

I'll never be friends with you.

Come on. Be honest with yourself.

I promise if you do that,

I'll show you so many more
fun things we can do together.

I'm sorry to tell you this, Momo.

You're going to stay here
and be my friend forever.

Fine.
