Cupido: Why struggle against your fate? It may destroy you.
Sofia: You know a lot about me. Who are you?
Cupido: You're looking for the past. That may be the most painful thing a human can do.
Sofia: I must know the past. Otherwise, it will poison the future.
Cupido: The past can bring pain. Can you accept that?

Duke: What? You are a woman!
Sofia: You noticed? Don't relax, I warn you. You might really get hurt.
Duke: I don't fight women. You had better leave.
Sofia: Don't make demands of me, little boy! If you don't have the confidence to fight me, say so.
Duke: You cannot speak like this to a knight!
|
Sofia: I've seen eyes like yours before...
Eiji: I'm just an adventurer. There's nothing in these eyes.
Sofia: I know that look! I've seen it before.
Eiji: May I interrupt your trip down memory lane?
Sofia: Memory? Maybe. We must fight to be sure.
|
Ellis: Wow! A beautiful lady!
Sofia: Cute girl. Looks like a china doll.
Ellis: Thank you, but I don't break easily.
Sofia: You shouldn't be here. This is a battle zone.
Ellis: I know. But I must go on!
|
Gaia: You...?
Sofia: You are Gaia, head of the Toshin society? I have much to ask you.
Gaia: You know who I am? You know much. You have real power as well. Looks like the project was not a total failure.
Sofia: What project? Does this have anything to do with the society?
Gaia: I warn you. In this place, it is best to know nothing.
|
Sofia: Big guy, aren't you? Just my type. Will you let me win?
Rungo: Sorry, but I can't do that. My family is waiting.
Sofia: I can't back down either. I guess we all have our own problems.
Rungo: So neither one can let the other win. I don't want to fight a woman, but my family's in danger.
Sofia: Don't hold back because of me. Ready?
|
Sho: Get out of my way.
Sofia: It's you!
Sho: I remember you. You were surrounded by assassins. A long time ago. I came to your rescue. Such a brave hero.
Sofia: I have something to ask you!
Sho: I can't answer. I must go.
Sofia: Don't think me rude, but I've got no choice.

Anytime, anywhere!

Cupido: You have a strong will. No wonder. You have the same blood she does.
Sofia: What is this about?
Cupido: The wheel of unavoidable fate is turning. It turns around her.
Sofia: What does this have to do with me?
Cupido: Your destiny may destroy you. Or others. When you have the same blood as hers, carnage is life itself.
Sofia: Carnage? I don't want people to suffer. For the sake of those who love me, I will stop that fate.
Cupido: There is no escape. We have the blood...
|
Sofia: You can fight all right, but you need practice.
Duke: I will never defeat him fighting this badly.
Sofia: Oh, you have skill. But you have no real power.
Duke: What do you mean?
Sofia: You thought I would be easy to defeat. Why? Because I'm a woman. But that doesn't matter! Real power is not in your appearance, but in your heart. Change your attitude, or you'll never improve.
Duke: I see. I trained myself physically. But I ignored the mind! You are right. I will remember your words.
|
Sofia: Your sword tricks are the same as his.
Eiji: My brother taught me everything I know. Do you know him?
Sofia: I don't know. All I know is someone who fights like you once saved my life.
Eiji: What did he look like?
Sofia: I only remember his eyes: gentle, warm, powerful. I was surrounded by enemies. He protected me.
Eiji: Sounds like my brother.
Sofia: Perhaps, yes! Recovering this memory could be important.
|
Ellis: I lost.
Sofia: Good thing I beat you. You didn't get hurt.
Ellis: But now I won't find my father.
Sofia: It's better this way. Even if you'd won, and kept on winning, fighting's no life. It's a life of pain.
Ellis: Yes?
Sofia: Keep your feet on the path. Someday your dreams will come true.
Ellis: I think you're right. Just keep faith. My thoughts will reach the one I hope to find.
Sofia: That's right.
|
Gaia: I wonder... Your strong will-- is that the result of the project?
Sofia: Project? What project?
Gaia: Uranusu's project...
Sofia: What do you know about my past?
Gaia: Your past is prologue. Destiny approaches. The time is coming when you must fight again. Then, you will find the answers you seek.
Sofia: I must fight again...? Then I'll know?
|
Sofia: Tell me! What do you know about my past?
Gaia: Better you do not know. Whatever happens, you will never change who you are.
Sofia: I came this far for that? You've told me nothing. This is my life! Tell me.
Gaia: Very well. A project was sponsored by Uranusu. Master was also involved.
Sofia: Uranusu? Master? Who are they?
Gaia: The time will soon come. The strings of fate are being woven into one tapestry. That is all I can say.
Sofia: Wait! I've got more to ask you!
Gaia: Doomsday will come soon. For both of us.
|
Sofia: Good fight, big man. Now go ahead.
Rungo: What are you talking about? You won! You're the one who gets to go!
Sofia: You fight for others. I am fighting only for myself. Now go.
Rungo: No... your quest means as much as mine! I'll be all right. I'll find another way to get there. Go on.
Sofia: I won't forget your sacrifice!
|
Sofia: I'm sorry! But why did you stop fighting?
Sho: I see in your eyes the desperate thoughts of one who loves you. Someone who's worried, worried about the careless life you lead.
Sofia: Someone's worried about me?
Sho: I see something else in your eyes: the past, only the past. Your eyes don't look to the future.
Sofia: What?
Sho: You may try to know your past, but time is always here and now. Don't die for the past. Live for tomorrow. Those who worry about you would be happier.
Sofia: Ah, wait! I understand! My quest for my past will bring sorrow to my family. I must choose the future, no matter what awaits me. But tell me, if I look to the future, will I see you again?
|
Sofia: You let me win. Why?
Sho: There is someone who reminds me of you.
Sofia: Who?
Sho: I'm sorry, but I must continue my journey. I'm going now.
Sofia: Ah, wait! It's O.K. I'm sorry. This is, after all, something I need to take care of myself.
Sho: You must find your own fate, whatever it is. You must search. And if you are strong, sorrow will never cloud your eyes. You will never be like that man, so filled with sadness.
Sofia: What man? Who?
