20. Nightmare[edit]
FX:*footsteps*
Yuuri: I don't ever want to experience... another great migration of lemmings.
Josak: Same goes for me...
Saralegui: Say, can you hear that?
Yuuri: Eh?! What is it?
Saralegui: Yuuri, there's something coming this way again.
Yuuri: By "something" do you mean mice again?
FX: *something big rolling their way*
Josak: Your Majesty, run!
Yuuri: Eh, what is it?
Josak: It doesn't matter, just run!
Yuuri: What is that? A boulder?!
Josak: There's no time to look at it!
Yuuri: But what tha heck is that?! Where did it come from?! Uwah~!
FX:*starts running*
Yuuri: You know, I've sort of seen this in a movie!
Josak: This seems to be a trap.
Yuuri: A trap?! And who set up a trap for whom?!
Saralegui: *happy* Yuuri, how much more do you think we'll have to run?
Yuuri: How tha hell would I know!? Ahh! Sara, look for a way out with your eyes that can see well in here! Do you see anything?! Something like a side road or a depression in the walls, ANYTHING!
Saralegui: *happy* There's absolutely nothing, ne?
Yuuri: Josak?!
Josak: Keep running... just like you are now! Don't stop!
Yuuri: Josak...?! Why are you sto...?
FX: *Josak decreases his speed. As he does this, he brushes Yuuri's cheek with his left palm for just an instant. And then, in a way that's very unlike him, he shows Yuuri a big smile, the type that you see in Christmas pictures*
Josak: You keep running, your Majesty.
FX: *Josak stops completely. When Yuuri sees this, he stops too and turns around*
Yuuri: Josa... gh... ah
FX: *rocks fall from the ceiling blocking the way *
Yuuri: Say, just now... at the end... were you smiling?
-- Flashback --
Josak: If it was impossible for him, and that would have been his final moment, he would have shown us the biggest smile you've ever seen.
-- End of flashback --
Yuuri: Josak!!!
Yuuri(monologue): I finally understood it. Josak divided the tunnel in two by dropping the rocks that made up the ceiling. But the switch that made the rocks from the ceiling drop, was on the side where the boulder was. That's right... in order to protect us from the giant rock that was rolling towards us, he took the blow himself.
FX: *Yuuri starts digging in the ground*
Yuuri: Josa... WHY?! *cries, he starts digging again*
Saralegui: Yuuri, are you crying?
Yuuri: *cries*
Saralegui: You're digging in the wrong place. Look!
Yuuri (monologue): Saralegui pointed towards the floor, to a liquid that was running.
FX: *Saralegui gets the liquid on his finger and smells it* *chuckles* *smears it on Yuuri's cheek*
Saralegui: Look... it's blood[1].
FX: *footsteps*
Saralegui: Are you alright, Yuuri?
Yuuri: ... Yes.
Saralegui: You can't see, right? And it's difficult to walk for you, right? Let's hold hands.
FX: *they hold hands*
Saralegui: *laughs* I'm sorry, Yuuri. I didn't notice it was difficult for you to be in a place like this...
Yuuri: It's fine...
Saralegui: We should have done this sooner... right Yuuri? You should have done THIS sooner.
Yuuri (monologue): We walked. We rested. We walked again. I could only think about leaving this dark tunnel. And then, approximately, in the middle of the third day after we started walking, Saralegui said this happily....
Saralegui: Yuuri, look! Look at the ceiling! There is a hole in the ceiling~!
FX: *dripping water*
Yuuri: A hole?
Saralegui: That's right! Ahh... since our eyes are used to the darkness, it's a little too bright, ne? This place looks like the castle's open-roofed entrance hall. It's so spacious and comfortable. What do you think Yuuri? Did you get used to the light?
Yuuri: ...The light?
Saralegui: Yuuri?
Yuuri: ...Sara... are my eyes opened?
Saralegui: They are. Why? What's the matter?
Yuuri: Your face... I can't see it.
Saralegui: Eh?
Yuuri: I can tell apart light from shadows, but... your face, my own hand, the rocks and the ground... I can't see them.
Yuuri (monologue): I don't know... who I should call for help... anymore.

References[edit]
- ↑ This is the end of the scene, so you can rest for a bit. I burst into tears 5 times while translating this scene. Two more while proofreading it. But there's one thing that bothers me. The "switch". The novels say exactly the same... that there was a "switch" to drop the rocks from the ceiling and split the tunnel in two. But why a switch? And how did Josak see it? I guess the boulder doesn't make sense either, so maybe I shouldn't question anything that happens in the tunnel. I got all the FX info from the novels.
