Kirika: There we go. Mireille: That's an excellent field dressing. Did you train as a medic? Kirika: I don't know. Mireille: This is your house. Kirika: Yes... Mireille: But it isn't your house. Kirika: Yes. Yuumura Kirika, that's my name. Mireille: But it isn't really your name. Kirika: Yes.

Mireille: I've made the arrangements to leave the country. Kirika: Thank you. Mireille: So are you about finished? Kirika: Mmm... Mireille: I just can't imagine why anyone would want to say good-bye in a place like this. Kirika: You're right. Mireille: "Even when...I was in a crowd, I was always alone." Kirika: Huh? Mireille: "I'm afraid that's not mine. It's...Ernest Hemingway, I believe." Kirika: I'm ready to go now, Mireille. Mireille: You know what I do for a living, and for that I can't let you go. Do you understand what I'm saying? Kirika: Yes Mireille: Well, then I will help you. They are sure to come after us again. I have something I want to ask them. And when all this is over, I will kill you. Kirika: I will be waiting for that moment.

Kirika's letter: Mireille, I have a terrible premonition and so I am writing you this letter. Not long ago Cloe told me that Soldats is my home. I may... I may never be able to see you again. There is another me, I can feel it. I don't mind it if you kill me, however, when that time comes... and I don't have time for my final words, I could not bear that. Because there is... something I want to tell you. Mireille... I was alone. Always Alone. I never had anything. It was terrible and painful, however, I wasn't alone. When I found out Noir was a name for two, well, of course it was a surprise at first, but... My heart rejoiced. You were there for me. Mireille... I was happy because you were there... I was happy... truly happy... Mireille, whom I cherish. I cannot describe it in words... Thank you, Mireille. Thank you. Mireille: You fool.

Kirika: The smell of blood... Chloe: That's right. Over the years, many lives have been taken in this room. Kirika: It goes beyond this one room; this whole place seems imbued with the aura of death. Chloe: Yes. You lived here once you know... Kirika: Of course. It is my home, isn't it? Chloe: Yes. Would you like to come see my room? Chloe: We used to live here together, although it really was only for a short time. We were trained and raised separately. You carried out missions even when you were very young. Including the mission in Corsica. That was a task worthy of a maiden with black hands, the figure of Noir. After seeing you that day, I swore to myself that I myself wanted to be like you. To be shoulder to shoulder with you to be venerated as the true Noir. Kirika: Are you saying that you became an assassin because you saw me? Chloe: Yes.

Mireille: I will go to the Manor Beaufort: Is that all? Mireille: Don't get me wrong, I'm not going for you. I'm going for my own sake. This does not change the fact that Soldats is my enemy. Beaufort: Do you want to be a mere assassin forever? Although you may be very skilled, an assassin is just a tool. Mireille: It's the path I chose for myself. Beaufort: If you join us, you will have immense power. Much more than your parents ever gained. Mireille: I have realised why my parents went against Soldats even when this meant losing everything. My partner has lived up to now with a seed of darkness planted in her heart. My parents probably thought, that they didn't want me to be like that. My parents were definitely Soldats, however, they were also parents who loved their daughter. That is all. Beaufort: What do you plan to do at the Manor? Will you save your partner? Mireille: Well, who knows? I can only say this. I will find out the identity of those who manipulated my family and my pa

Altena: I now return this to your hands. Altena: Go ahead and shoot. If that were the ask assigned to you, a Noir must be able to shoot, even if that target is myself. Just what worries you, child? You must never falter. The world of man is always bound in darkness, and in years to come, you will see many black deeds with your own eyes. But you must never look away...not from that darkness, and not from the world full of suffering. We have an obligation that we must bear, both you and I. It is our shared destiny to bear the most unforgivable of sins together. But you already know this, don't you child? The answer that you have been searching for is within these walls. You have returned to your home, this is where you belong, it's time to accept your world. Those gathered here are all family and together we serve that cause. Kirika: You're saying...I'm a sinner because that's what we must do...this family? Altena: Yes, the sin within the sin, that is why we live together in darkness. Fo
