Short filmTranscript
00:00Your Majesty, this may be a minor market contract error. A damaged human cannot possibly command your royal shadow.
00:10My shadow does not make mistakes.
00:14Don't touch me!
00:15You can barely stand.
00:17I can die on my knees. I don't want to live in someone's eyes.
00:21Good. You still have a spine.
00:24Your Majesty, market law requires a full inspection mark before any item leaves.
00:28She is not an item, but she has been registered as a heartless slave.
00:32Let me.
00:36You say I am an item?
00:38You do not even have a heart.
00:45What is this?
00:46Truth Shvard restored. Ability awakened. Echo of lies.
00:49Now tell the truth. Who ordered you to stop me?
00:51Regin Queen Isoleth! She said the Mooncrown Vessel must not leave the market!
00:55Mooncrown Vessel?
00:56You bought me without knowing what I am?
00:59I only knew my shadow wanted you alive.
01:05Sis, don't look at me like that. Your heart is far more useful on me than rotting inside your chest.
01:10You stole my heart!
01:11No. Father gave it to someone truly worthy of owning it.
01:15Leora, I raised you for 23 years. Tonight you finally contribute something to this family.
01:21You knew too.
01:24I cannot marry a woman without a heart.
01:39Next item. Human female, 23. Heartless body, fractured soul. Suitable for potion trials, contract sacrifice, or low tier bed service.
01:50No heart? Then she probably can't even cry.
01:54She might be useful for training hounds to bite.
01:57Opening bid. One silver belt.
02:02Half a silver belt!
02:04I cannot die here. My heart is still beating inside them.
02:10One black moon coin.
02:13Your majesty? You wish to buy this heartless human?
02:18Impossible. The black moon seal is answering her.
02:20If you bought me to make me kneel, I would rather die.
02:24I bought your chains, not your knees.
02:30The Night King's shadow kneeled?
02:33I have no heart. Yet somehow, I hear the sound of revenge.
02:43What do you want from me?
02:47Answers.
02:48People usually spend one black moon coin coin to buy on something more valuable.
02:54You made my shadow kneel. You are already absurdly expensive.
03:02What is this?
03:03My shadow spirit, Nim. It usually only bites.
03:07A shadow alone feels more like home than that house of mine. Even a shadow feels more like home than
03:13my family ever did.
03:15The wound on your chest is not an ordinary wound. Your heart was cut into seven pieces, hidden inside people
03:21and relics. If you fail to retrieve them within 30 days, you become hollow.
03:25What is hollow?
03:26Alive, able to walk and talk, but without anger, without love, without pain. In the end, they even forget who
03:31they are. Or pain. Eventually, you forget who you are.
03:34They took my heart, and now they will take away my right to hate them?
03:37Then take it back.
03:40The price?
03:40You help me find the moon crown core. I help you reclaim your heart.
03:45What if the moon crown core is my heart?
03:48Then I keep you alive first, and worry about the crown later.
03:52Deal.
03:58A contract should not feel warm.
04:03Miss Celesta looks like a moon goddess tonight.
04:08Perhaps it's cause I finally got rid of some unlucky people.
04:18Leora? You're actually alive?
04:22Disappointed?
04:22You shouldn't have come back.
04:24My heart is still here, so of course I'm coming back for it.
04:28Sister, don't scare everyone. Your heart was clearly voluntary offered for the family.
04:34I voluntary? Then do you dare let me ask your heart?
04:41Celeste, what is that on your chest that belongs to me?
04:44Fragments of your appearance!
04:47What?
04:48Keep going. What did you do with it?
04:50I embedded it in a pendant, and absorbed your life force every day, which is why I've become...
04:59So beautiful!
05:00Oh my god, her beauty is stolen!
05:03No! Don't look at me!
05:05The first one, I've retrieved.
05:08Danger.
05:09The more complete she is, the more I want to get closer.
05:15Julian! Don't look at them! I'm still me!
05:18You lied to me?
05:20I did it to deserve you!
05:22How touching.
05:23One stole a face, the other stole a heart.
05:26Perfect match.
05:27Enough! You have ruined your sister's reputation.
05:30When she stole from me, you told me to endure.
05:33Now that I take it back, you tell me enough?
05:35I am your father.
05:36You are only the keeper of my hatred.
05:41Has this hand touched her heart?
05:46Answer him.
05:49Yes.
05:50I carved it out with my own hands.
05:53Even without a heart, pain remains.
05:55Leora, what do you want done with him?
05:57Not yet.
05:58I want him to watch me take back every piece.
06:02You ruined me!
06:04I'll kill you!
06:05No!
06:08She has not permitted you to die.
06:14Leora used forbidden techniques to manipulate true words and humiliate nobles, and according to the kingdom's laws should be immediately
06:20arrested.
06:21Just now you said I were heartless, and now you say I know forbidden arts.
06:24Julian, your mouth is busier than your sword.
06:27Don't think the Night King can protect you forever.
06:29I'll come.
06:32Julian, where does your glory come from?
06:35From the battlefield, from blood, from strength.
06:40Shut up!
06:42Answer.
06:43From your honor, Shards.
06:45Aldrich embedded it into my heart, so I went from a nobody to a genius knight.
06:51Was the group leader a good nothing before?
06:59No! My power!
07:01The second piece has been retrieved.
07:05My black market auction items are getting more and more expensive.
07:09I'm not a lot.
07:10Sure. You're my creditor.
07:18For me?
07:21Don't eat it.
07:22Fruits in the Night Palace usually make people confess their deepest desire.
07:27Have you eaten one?
07:28Once.
07:29What did you say?
07:33I said I wanted to burn the entire court.
07:35That does not sound like a secret.
07:37The second half was.
07:39What was it?
07:42I wanted someone to stop me.
07:46How touching.
07:47Male, you finally learn to bring wounded little pets home?
07:52Isoleth.
07:53Daryl, do you know?
07:54The Night Palace keeps nothing without value.
07:57Then you must be priceless.
07:58Since you've survived this long.
08:00At tomorrow's heartless trial, I will see how long your sharp tongue lasts.
08:04By court law, a heartless one cannot hold free status.
08:09She must prove she still possesses emotion.
08:13How can someone without a heart have feelings?
08:15She should be locked away for study.
08:19Don't.
08:20They are humiliating you.
08:22Then let them finish.
08:24The more they speak, the louder they kneel.
08:26Dear girl, admit you are the Moontown vessel, and the court will give you a safe cage.
08:31A cage no matter how safe is still made for beasts.
08:36Begin the emotion trial.
08:41Pitiful, yet filthy.
08:44You wish to judge whether I have emotion?
08:46Fine, let us judge yours too.
08:51I bought 37 heartless slaves!
08:53Are you the human girl seeking to grow flowers?
08:56It seems those with hearts are not so noble after all.
09:01Lock her in the moon mirror tower.
09:05Who dares?
09:12Which hand?
09:13Which hand cut out her heart?
09:31Don't stop because of me.
09:33I am stopping for you.
09:50Where is this?
09:51The moon water.
09:52It keeps broken things from breaking further.
10:12You have a heartbeat.
10:15No.
10:17I heard it.
10:20You shouldn't have.
10:28What are you hiding?
10:29More than you should ask.
10:31Then I'm asking the right thing.
10:40Is that the crown you're looking for?
10:51Do not answer it.
10:56Still hiding broken things in sacred water, male?
11:05The one who did not escape.
11:06At that point you could run down so as the
11:07one of the לס Isn't it?

36:32It was love
36:40Lyra
36:40Now it's my turn
36:51The vessel is coming
36:58Regent Green
36:59The gate is unstable
37:02So is every crown
37:04We have taken
37:08Seven pieces made a heart
37:11One heart makes a crown
37:14And one crown opens two worlds
37:28Two realms
37:29One queen
37:36Still loyal to her?
37:39Then we will let her watch while I teach it obedience
37:48Vessel required
37:50She is on her way
38:04Isolet
38:09You came alone
38:13You sound disappointed
38:15No
38:15Predictable things are useful
38:24Kneel
38:26Six pieces already made you arrogant
38:29Seven will make me whole
38:31Do you know what the last piece counts?
38:40My crown
38:41Your pain
38:43Every scream you forgot
38:45Every wound your hollow body could not feel
38:47Every betrayal your missing heart buried for you
38:49The crown holds moon fire
38:51Judgment
38:52Memory
38:52Pain
38:53It was mine before it hurt
39:04There
39:05That is what a heart feels like
39:10Now break
39:11Pain makes queens obedient
39:22No
39:28Pain makes me remember
39:44So this is what they stole
39:47Impossible
39:51You were right about one thing
39:58I feel everything
39:59I feel everything now
40:00I feel everything now
40:00I feel everything now
40:09And I know exactly who to judge
40:23The regent queen is corrupted
40:25Silence
40:31Your court sees you now
40:33Then I will build a new one from ashes
40:36Then I will build a new one from ashes
41:03Keep one
41:04Maybe
41:06Maybe
41:06But she was my sister
41:07Before she was your vessel
41:09Stop
41:16I can't undo it
41:18But I can stop helping her
41:22Then live long enough to pay the debt
41:27Enough
41:32If the crown will not choose me
41:34I will become the crown
41:44Two realms
41:46One queen
41:51Kneels
41:57Still standing
41:59I learned from being thrown down
42:02I then fall better
42:11Still protecting thieves
42:18Still better than becoming one
42:40The black moon found what he loved most
42:43Kill her
43:08Love is so useful when it breaks correctly
43:20You bought my chains
43:24You gave me your shadow
43:27Kill her
43:30You told me I was not property
43:36Liera
43:38Come back to me
43:50Run
43:55No
43:56It is inside me
43:58Then I go inside after you
43:59You just got your heart back
44:03Then it is finally mine to choose
44:05You gave me a home in your shadow
44:10Let me give you one in my heart
44:13Liora
44:13No
44:18Academy's entrance ceremony
44:20Every alpha heir would confirm their destined mate here
44:28You think sharing a heart makes you strong?
44:31No
44:32Choosing who holds it does
44:55Every contract you forged
44:58Every contract you forged
44:58Every contract you forged
45:05Every chain of his
45:07Every chain of his
45:07Judged
45:09Burned
45:10Every chain of his
45:10Every chain of his
45:26Burned
45:27Love will ruin you
45:30No
45:32It ruined you because you never had it
45:45Twin heart contract established
45:54We swear loyalty to the twin moon throne
46:00No one kneels because they are afraid
46:05If you kneel
46:06Kneel to the law
46:08Not to chains
46:10Not to blood
46:12Not to fear
46:19Lyra
46:21Celeste
46:22I am not asking forgiveness
46:24I am asking where to begin
46:28The black market ruins will become the free house
46:31You will rebuild it
46:32You will shelter every soul child
46:34Every broken contract
46:35Every girl no one bid for
46:36For how long?
46:37Until your debt stops being about guilt
46:39And starts being about mercy
46:40Yes your majesty
46:46My queen
46:47My queen
46:48Do you miss it?
46:50What?
46:51Having a whole heart to yourself
46:52No
46:53It beats better like this
47:01The black moon is not dead
47:02Then we kill it again
47:05Together
47:05Always
47:06Always
47:07You
47:07Yeah
47:07You
47:08You
