Default: The tool I cast away became Gilbert's dog.
Default: But even after losing her arms, her master, and everything she'd ever had,
Default: she still stood tall.
Default: Thank you.
Default: All too naïve.
Default: Time's up.
Default: If you'd killed me right at the outset, you might have made it.
Default: Bombs?
Default: Stop the train!
Default: Now!
Default: It won't work!
Default: Use the brakes in the carriage!
Default: Emergency brakes!
Default: What the...
Default: Violet!
Default: Get the other bomb!
Default: Got it!
Default: It's off!
Default: Violet!
Signs: Holmgard, Capital of Gardariki
Signs: Temporary Leidenschaftlich Embassy
Default: "The nations of Gardariki and Leidenschaftlich will strive to maintain international peace and order
Default: and hereby sign an all-encompassing pact that respects each other's sovereignty.
Default: To that end, both nations will immediately recommence free and fair trade,
Default: and Leidenschaftlich will, as a token of friendship,
Default: provide one year's worth of emergency aid.
Default: Both nations hereby swear to adhere to and uphold this treaty to the utmost."
Default: It's over.
Default: Yeah.
Default: What's wrong?
Default: It's over, and yet...
Default: It's over...
Default: The War is over,
Default: and yet our son still hasn't come home.
Default: I keep telling my wife that we should give up on him.
Default: But...
Default: I understand.
Default: I understand how you feel very well.
Default: If you could please write the letter like so:
Default: "Thank you for being born our son."
Default: Of course.
Default: Air Show season, huh?
Default: It had been suspended during the war,
Default: so everyone's excited for its comeback after five years.
Default: The deadline for letter submissions is tomorrow, so let's keep at it for one more day.
Default: Yes, I'll do my best.
Default: I'm thinking of writing a letter myself.
Default: I used to be a showgirl before I became a Doll.
Default: Many of our patrons were soldiers,
Default: and many of them are dead now.
Default: I'm thinking of writing to them.
Default: Why don't you write one too?
Default: I've never written a letter of my own.
Default: Then this can be a memorable first.
Default: Just write how you feel right now—
Default: as your heart wills you.
Default: As my heart...
Default: Major.
Default: What is it?
Default: Am I not needed anymore?
Default: What are you talking about?
Default: Will I be disposed of and transferred into Colonel Hodgins's custody?
Default: Will you not give me orders anymore?
Default: Do you want my orders so badly?
Default: Your orders are everything to me.
Default: After this battle, you can stop taking orders from me.
Default: Actually, you can stop taking orders from anyone.
Default: Live free.
Default: Is that an order?
Default: Why?
Default: Why would you take that as an order?
Default: Do you really think I see you as a tool?
Default: If I did, I would never have carried you out of there and taken you back home.
Default: I would never have kept you beside me all this while!
Default: You should know that I'm only feeling this anger and anguish because I want what's best for you!
Default: Major?
Default: You have emotions.
Default: You have a heart, just like me!
Default: If you don't...
Default: If you don't, then how do you explain that look on your face?!
Default: You're perfectly capable of making such expressions!
Default: You find me scary right now, don't you?
Default: You don't like being yelled at out of nowhere, do you?
Default: I don't understand.
Default: These unreasonable words anger you, don't they?
Default: I don't understand.
Default: You lie!
Default: I'm not lying.
Default: I really don't understand.
Default: I...
Default: I want to keep taking orders from you.
Default: If you order me to, I shall go anywhere.
Default: That's all.
Default: I'm sorry.
Default: But I can't watch you force yourself to remain a tool.
Default: It hurts me.
Default: I was the one who took you in when you were so young and turned you into this.
Default: And yet,
Default: you still believe in me...
Default: You haven't done anything wrong.
Default: The final battle is only a few hours away.
Default: Let's talk about this some other time.
Default: You couldn't write one?
Default: I do have emotions I want to express,
Default: and I had them back then too.
Default: But I don't know what I...
Default: ...want to tell the major?
Default: Violet.
Default: The deadline is tonight,
Default: but if you can write a letter by the morning, I'll take it to the admins for you.
Default: So try to write something.
Default: Even if it's short—
Default: even if it's only one sentence.
Default: Come in.
Default: Excuse me.
Default: Someone's here to see Violet.
Default: A man named Bougainvillea.
Default: Thank you very much.
Default: Over here.
Default: You must've been busy ghostwriting letters for the Air Show until yesterday.
Default: I'm sorry you had to meet me on your day off.
Default: It's fine.
Default: You've never been to our Leiden mansion before, have you?
Default: I should warn you in advance.
Default: Their memory has gotten a bit hazy.
Default: It's our mother.
Default: You are?
Default: This is Violet.
Default: You said you wanted to meet her.
Default: Oh, right. The one he wants us to adopt.
Default: You're finally here.
Default: Yes.
Default: Isn't Gilbert with you?
Default: Mother, Gilbert is...
Default: He is with us.
Default: It's the same color as his eyes.
Default: It's the same color as your eyes.
Default: Beautiful, isn't it?
Default: Yes.
Default: I didn't know the word, so I haven't said it.
Default: But I've thought your eyes are beautiful from the first time we met.
Default: Very beautiful.
Default: So, what is your relationship with Gilbert?
Default: The major took me in,
Default: raised me,
Default: and gave me a purpose.
Default: But...
Default: I know. In the battle of Intens, he...
Default: That's right. You asked to see her to discuss that.
Default: Isn't that right, Mother?
Default: Right.
Default: It wasn't your fault.
Default: It isn't your cross to bear.
Default: Dietfried keeps telling me to give up on Gilbert...
Default: when I know he can't give up on him either.
Default: The two of them were always such loving brothers.
Default: He's alive...
Default: within my heart.
Default: So I won't ever forget him.
Default: Even if it always hurts to remember, I'll live the rest of my life thinking about him.
Default: I mean, even now,
Default: I still love him.
Default: Right.
Default: Right!
Default: Violet.
Default: Live his share of life too.
Default: Live, live, live some more,
Default: and die.
Default: Those are my final orders for you.
Default: I...
Default: I don't need orders anymore.
Default: Gilbert never treated the tool I cast away as one.
Default: So, even though she lost her arms and her master,
Default: she will never lose all the important things he gave her.
Default: I'm really glad the weather cleared up in time.
Default: Yeah. It actually snowed, and Leiden never gets snow.
Default: Violet!
Default: Luculia.
Default: I'm glad you could make it.
Default: It must've been hectic with all the ghostwriting for the Air Show.
Default: Not really, but I did write a lot of letters.
Default: I even wrote one of my own for the first time.
Default: I see.
Default: I wrote one to my parents too.
Default: I'm sure it'll reach them.
Default: Thanks.
Default: I wrote one too.
Default: To my future self,
Default: who has become Leiden's— no, the continent's most popular Doll!
Default: That's one lofty goal.
Default: What about you, Erica?
Default: What did you write?
Default: I've fallen for someone recently, so I wrote a love—
Default: What?
Default: Who? Who is it?!
Default: Hey.
Default: Want to know what I wrote?
Default: Yes. I do.
Default: Ah.
Default: Believe it or not,
Default: I wrote it to Hodgins.
Default: "One day,
Default: I'm going to be the boss."
Default: Wait, you want to take my place?
Default: What kind of letter is that?!
Default: You're one to talk.
Default: What kind of letter is this?
Default: "From Papa, to my future daughter."
Default: How'd you get that?
Default: Stop!
Default: I found a bunch of drafts crammed into the trash can in your office,
Default: Papa.
Default: You of all people shouldn't be calling me that!
Default: Papa...
Default: Stop it!
Default: "Papa's eagerly awaiting the day you are born.
Default: And I'm praying that you grow up healthy and strong,
Default: that you find happiness,
Default: and that you love someone who loves you just as much.
Default: And I pray that the future you and your children live in
Default: is a world free of conflict and filled with happiness."
Default: The feelings of countless people are raining from the sky.
Default: Violet.
Default: Major...
Default: "Dear Major Gilbert,
Default: Do you have any news? Are you doing well?
Default: Where are you right now?
Default: Are you having any difficulties?
Default: Spring, summer, autumn, and winter...
Default: Many seasons have come and gone,
Default: but the one with you isn't coming around at all.
Default: At first, I couldn't understand.
Default: I couldn't understand anything about how you felt.
Default: But within this new life you gave me,
Default: I've begun to feel the same way as you, if only a little,
Default: through ghostwriting, and through the people I've met along the way.
Default: I believe that you are still alive somewhere.
Default: So I shall live, live, live,
Default: and live some more, though there's no telling what life might have in store.
Default: And if I can ever see you again, I want to let you know...
Default: that the phrase "I love you"...
Default: I understand it a little now.
Default: Ghostwriting request, Violet! They say it's urgent!
Default: Benedict, you make some tea.
Default: What? Why should I?
Default: Violet, the customer's waiting.
Default: I'll be right there.
Signs: Auto Memoir Doll and "I Love You"
Default: It is a pleasure to meet you.
Default: If a client requests it, we shall go anywhere.
Default: Representing the Auto Memoir Doll service,
Default: I am Violet Evergarden.
