Asterios
This Hand, For You
Asterios:
Um. Master.
Hello.
Fujimaru 1:
Hello...
Fujimaru 2:
Good morning...
Asterios:
I am glad.
Mash, Master, awake.
Mash:
Oh Master, are you all right?
Fujimaru 1:
What happened?
Mash:
I'm not sure, but it seems we are lost inside this labyrinth.
Mash:
Communication with the Doctor has been cut off as well.
Fou:
Fou.
Mash:
Fortunately, Asterios and Fou are with us.
Asterios:
Fou...this...cookie...want...to...eat?
Fou:
Munch, munch.
Asterios:
Good boy.
Good boy.
Mash:
It appears unless we get out of this labyrinth,
we won't be able to contact anyone.
Asterios:
I will...go...ahead.
Everyone...get out...of here.
Mash:
Yes, let's go!
Mash:
It certainly is dark...
Asterios:
Master...
Fujimaru 1:
Yes?
Asterios:
Sorry.
It was...nothing.
Asterios:
...Wait.
I smell...something...strange.
Mash:
...I can faintly smell...
Asterios:
The smell...of blood.
Asterios:
...Master, stand back.
I...Asterios...will defeat them!
--BATTLE--:
Asterios:
Whew.
Is everyone...all right?
Mash:
Both Fou and Master are just fine.
How are you, Asterios?
Asterios:
No problem.
Continue.
Mash:
It sure is far.
It seems like this place goes on forever...
Fou:
Fou...
Asterios:
Master, are you ok?
Fujimaru 1:
I'm still fine.
Fujimaru 2:
I'll be all right.
Asterios:
Are you sure?
Don't...push yourself.
Mash:
He's right. Please don't force yourself.
For now, let's just walk a bit longer.
Asterios:
...Hmm.
I knew it...
Mash:
What's the matter?
Asterios:
Here...turn left.
Mash:
Do you know the way?
Asterios:
Yes. Used to it. This...labyrinth...
I...grew up...here.
Mash:
In the Labyrinth?
I-I thought this place looked familiar...
Asterios:
So...I know...the exit.
But...
Mash:
But what?
Asterios:
...We cannot avoid...being attacked.
Mash:
There are more enemies.
Master, orders please.
Asterios:
Lead us...Master.
I will...fight!
--BATTLE--:
Asterios:
Master...tired?
Fujimaru 1:
A little...
Fujimaru 2:
Yes.
Asterios:
Master...if all right...
I know...it's not.
Asterios:
But...hold my hand?
Fujimaru 1:
Of course.
Fujimaru 2:
Would it be ok with you?
Asterios:
You don't mind...I don't mind.
Yes. This...is good.
Mash:
Is everything all right, Asterios?
Asterios:
Why?
Mash:
Well, it's just that, instead of going up we are going deeper and deeper.
Asterios:
Yes.
That is...correct.
Mash:
I see...
Asterios:
...Excuse me...Master.
Master...afraid...of me?
Fujimaru 1:
Why would I be?
Fujimaru 2:
What's there to be afraid of?
Asterios:
...If not afraid...then it's fine.
I am...glad.
Asterios:
That...voice...
Mash:
Asterios?
Child:
Stop, I am scared...
Please stop!
Child:
Help...me...
???:
...Heeheeheeheehee!
Tasty, tasty, tasty.
Mash:
...Ugh!
Asterios:
Are...you...
Are you... Me?
Asterios(?):
Yes, I am.
Do I look like anything, else?
Asterios:
...Stop that.
Asterios(?):
But this is what you did.
Asterios:
...I did...this.
That's why...I am...ending this.
Asterios(?):
Hee, hee, hee.
What are you talking about.
Asterios(?):
You know, this is what you wished!
You wanted to eat, so you ate!
Asterios(?):
I am a Minotaur!
I am nothing else than that!
Asterios:
–I am...Asterios!
Asterios:
As long as...there are people...calling my name.
I will...continue to...reject you!
--BATTLE--:
Asterios(?):
Y. O. U...
You think you can reject "yourself?"
Asterios(?):
You know, it's worse than death.
Asterios:
I must... I must...reject myself. I reject everything about me... I throw away everything about me.
Asterios:
–That is...my...punishment.
–That is...my...atonement.
Asterios:
Master... Let's go...
The exit...is not far.
Fujimaru 1:
May I hold your hand?
Asterios:
...Yes. Let us go.
Narration:
–Someday...I want to hold someone's hand.
–That's...what I thought.
