You're the only one I'm longing to see, now and always

There's only one wish I remember on rainy days

The shard of me that I left forgotten in your heart

Is it still there?

Sleeping inside a closed book

Pandora's jewels called "memories"

In a hesitation hiding a sigh

I was always watching

My eyes cracked and fell to the ground I was always watching

My eyes cracked and fell to the ground

They are quartz fractured into crescents

You're the only one who satisfies my heart

I'll always be waiting

Here in the rain

I missed you, Father!

Stop! Why are you doing this?

Father!

Dad!

Dad?

Dad?

Yes. That's me.

Hurry here.

Hurry and notice.

Hurry...

Lost Hearts

Miss! Miss Margaret!

Where are you?

Miss!

Miss Vanessa...

Why? Why did this happen?

To think those who discern the era would get in my way.

But she will come here.

If she is Madlax, she will.

As long as Margaret Burton is here, she will.

You killed her.

Yes, and Father too!

Sarks sark.

I'm not injured.

Was that a dream after all?

No, it's reality.

I think you know why you're healed.

Yes, you're right.

Vanessa...

Vanessa Rene, is she...

Now I can't die.

Right.

So don't you die either.

Can you protect your friends?

Yes, I'll do it. I'll protect them.

Vanessa...

Vanessa Rene...

Margaret Burton tried to kill you.

Why?

Because I committed a crime.

It's only what I deserve.

Are you seeking death?

I'm just bad at living.

That's why I lost even my only friend.

Maybe it's okay for me to just disappear now.

If that's what you want, you can go ahead.

However, living people have things they need to do.

Living people...

I think you've already realized.

I'm leaving Margaret to you.

Where's that girl? Where's Margaret?

She's gone.

Along with the masked man.

The masked man?

Friday Monday.

He can't have...

Yes. He's probably trying to open the door using Margaret Burton.

No, the door may already be open.

No, it can't be.

Because this is here.

What's that?

Now I understand.

This is a page of the book Margaret had.

The truth of twelve years ago.

And me myself.

Thanks.

I'm going. Not to kill people, but to do what I have to do.

Right, Vanessa?

I am sorry, Lady Quanzitta.

I've done something that I shouldn't have done as a discerner.

However, I have no regrets.

I just can't help but be drawn to her.

Madlax...

Nakhl.

Miss Vanessa is...

She was protecting me.

She got shot doing it.

Vanessa. I'll keep my promise to you.

I will keep it.

So I'll say my goodbyes after that.

Margaret Burton has been taken by Enfant.

Miss Margaret has?

I'll save her. For certain.

But where is she?

She'll tell us,

I'm sure.

They're getting closer and closer to the truth.

Soon, I'll return to myself.

This flower... A yellow flower...

Father!

Father.

What is it, Margaret?

Look, a yellow flower.

A helianthus, eh?

Oh, so that's what it's called.

Do you know what the helianthus means in the language of flowers?

No, I don't.

It means "enticement."

Oh. So this flower is luring someone here, huh?

Yes. It's enticing you here, Madlax.

By your coming here, my twelve-year loss of time will be made good.

Soon I'll have what I desire.

It's straight ahead.

This is Kalistale.

The area of the most violent warfare in all of Gazth-Sonika.

Enfant is at the front line.

Why are they in a place like this?

I don't know that either.

Enfant is deliberately prolonging this civil war.

No, the entire war itself was started by Enfant.

How did they do that?

By using the three books twelve years ago.

Those books have that much power?

Then is Enfant trying to do the same thing again?

No, something worse.

Margaret Burton, who has the Gift, makes that possible.

I won't let it happen.

Never.

That's why I'm going to save her.

Leave the rest of this to me.

No, I'm coming too.

No. You'd die.

Who are you?!

Hands in the air!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I will be coming as well.

Get on board, then.

Until I see Miss Margaret...

Until I see her...

I...

Please let me go to her!

Please, let me go!

Let me go to where Miss Margaret is!

It's okay now. Come inside.

All right.

Thank you.

They're saying someone just stole an Army patrol boat in Kalistale.

Galza?

No, sounds like it wasn't them.

Dammit, static...

Hey, get it together.

Open fire!

Retreat! Retreat!

Say, Father, shouldn't we go?

I want to go with you.

I'm sorry, but will you give me a little more time?

I'm waiting, for the girl with the same name as my old friend.

Yes, for Madlax.

Madlax...

Yes.

You're waiting for her?

Yes.

Father.

What, Margaret?

I hate that girl.

So it's okay for me to kill her, right?

Yes, quite all right.

You can do whatever you'd like, Margaret.

If that girl dies, will you be happy too?

Of course.

I'll kill her, then. I'm going to erase her existence.

You're magnificent, Margaret.

Even without opening the door, you're infinitely close to the human Essence.

It's almost as if I can hear that place's melody.

I don't really understand.

That's all right.

Oh. So that's all right.

I'd like to kill Madlax really soon.

There were so many troops...

Eat.

I'm not hungry.

If you want to save Margaret Burton, then eat.

All right.

May I ask you something?

What?

Is Madlax your real name?

No.

I didn't have any memories of my past,

and I only remembered the word "Madlax."

So I made that word my code name.

Miss Margaret was the same.

She'd lost all her memories except for the word "Madlax."

Please tell me.

What's the relationship between you and Miss Margaret?

I'm not sure. But she and I are connected.

Connected?

Yes. That I can tell.

So I'm going to her.

To know who I really am.

To find out the truth.

And to keep a promise with my friend.

Even if...

Even if what?

Nothing.

This is crazy.

Don't move!

Put down the gun.

That's my line!

Please shoot.

Please take care of Miss Margaret.

I'm jealous.

Drop your gun!

I wonder if I can become one too.

Don't you care if the woman dies?!

Me too...

You are affection within madness.

A kind killer.

Yes. That's Madlax.

I have something I have to do.

That's the truth I chose of my own free will.

The truth that's mine alone.

That's surely an old song someone was playing on a water-colored lute

Deep inside your heart, inside your pain

Drifting in daybreak's sleepiness on the streetcorners Deep inside your heart, inside your pain

Drifting in daybreak's sleepiness on the streetcorners

When you were called by that singing voice

You were still in the middle of your journey

Following the tracks that loneliness left behind

I wonder if you can go it all alone

And get to the other hill on the other side

Watching the retreating back of a goodbye And get to the other hill on the other side

Watching the retreating back of a goodbye

The story told so that you can meet yourself

Now quietly begins
