9

Following the airplane crash, Shirogane rescues her wounded former teacher Guy, and helps nurse him back to health. She tells Masaru about her past with Guy and how Narumi caused her to become more human instead of just a puppet. Disturbed by dreams about Narumi, Masaru leaves quietly to search for him. Meanwhile, Narumi, Lucille and Ming-Xia are deep in the mountains of China searching for the Midnight Circus. They find Ming-Xia's father Liang Jian-Feng suffering from Zonapha syndrome at a spring flowing with Aqua Vitae. He tells them about his Bai family ancestors of 200 years earlier, the brothers Yin and Jin, who went to study alchemy in Prague to improve their puppetry skills and Narumi realizes that he knows the story. The brothers encountered the beautiful woman Francine who eventually caused friction between the brothers who both fell in love with her. (Source: Wikipedia)
