Dark Moon: The Blood Altar (2026) s01e03 Episode Script

1
But I don't want Sooha to get the
wrong idea or hate us because of that.
True.
I don't want Sooha to hate us.
Then just stick to exchanging pleasantries.
Stop talking to her so much.
Quit being so friendly.
Solon's right.
Aw, fine.
Sooha!
Wanna hang out this weekend?
What? Th-This weekend? Where?
Well
Hey!
Let's go to the plaza together.
We can get ice cream and walk around.
Are you listening to me?
I appreciate it, but are you sure?
Let's go to the beach, too.
Just the two of us?
Yeah, just the two of us.
No! I'm going with you.
Hey! Mind your own business.
You're planning to say something
weird to her, aren't you?
What? Who do you take me for?
There's no way I'm letting you go by yourself.
Um, what's going on, guys?
Didn't we decide we'd keep
our distance yesterday?
Aw, fine.
Yeah, but I was thinking, "Just kidding,
tee-hee," when I said that, too.
Silly Solon.
Heli! Jino! Jaan! Jakah! Noa!
What?
Solon?
What is it?
Huh?
Shion says he's hanging out at the
plaza with Sooha this weekend.
Huh?
Seriously?
What?
Really?
Huh?
Hey! Why'd you rat me out?
It's your fault for breaking our promise.
He's going to the plaza
with Sooha this weekend?
Yeah, so tell him why he shouldn't—
I'm going, too!
What?
Me, too.
Hey!
Count me in.
Jakah!
Sounds fun.
Noa! Not you guys, too!
Sheesh! Look at everyone
who's going because of you!
Honestly, what are they all thinking?
Sooha.
Heli?
I heard you're going out this weekend.
Huh? Y-Yeah.
Can I go with you?
Yeah, sure.
Then
See you this weekend.
- Dark Moon: The Blood Altar -
- The Pre-emptive Date -
This would be trying too hard.
This is hard to walk in.
What should I do?
Anyway, I can't believe
I'm going out with friends.
You're Sooha, right? I'm Chris.
Everyone says you're a vampire.
What?
Are you really a vampire?
If you're not, you should tell everyone that.
There's no point.
Nobody believes me.
Huh. I bet you're not a vampire, though.
Look.
My leg was like this when I was born.
People say all kinds of things
when they see this.
Just 'cause I'm different,
they make up all these lies.
So I bet they're lying about you, too.
Sooha, let's be friends.
Huh?
I'm all alone, too.
Okay, sure.
I made a friend.
And I had so much fun every day.
And I wanted to share my secret with someone.
All for the first time in my life.
Wow!
You're awesome!
Huh?
You don't think my power is weird?
Nope. It's special!
Really? You're not scared
I might be a vampire?
Not at all. After all, I know you.
But I still don't completely trust myself.
Sooha, want to try biting my neck?
No way! If I did that,
and something happened
It'll be fine. Here.
See? Didn't I tell you?
You can't be a vampire.
Chris
It's okay. No matter what anyone
else says, I'll believe you.
The Weekend
Sooha!
You're here early.
I was hoping to beat you here.
Shion.
You look really cute today.
Uh, thanks. Where are the others?
Apparently, they're super busy.
They stood us up. Can you believe it?
I see.
Well, that can't be helped.
The two of us will have fun!
Let's go.
O-Okay.
I'll show you around today.
Thanks.
Heli's busy, too?
I wonder what he's doing.
Maybe I'll message him.
No, wait. He might think I'm mad.
I want to show you a bunch of places today.
He's busy. I shouldn't make
him worry about me!
I hope you're excited.
Hey, Sooha.
Aren't you glad it's sunny today?
Yeah.
But he could've let me know beforehand.
Come to think of it, I can't message Heli
telepathically unless he contacts me first.
This plaza's really lively on weekends.
A long line forms at this Ferris wheel,
and it's always packed with families.
There are tons of shops over there, too.
I see.
When the sun sets, the light
reflects off the water.
It's absolutely gorgeous.
I want to make sure you see it.
You're so nice, Shion.
Oh, I'm always like this, not just today.
Watch your step.
Here.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
How cute!
A kitty!
It sure is!
Sooha, want some ice cream?
That truck's ice cream is really good.
Okay.
I'll go get some. Wait here in the plaza.
Huh? Oh, thanks.
Shall we go?
Should someone get Sooha?
I'll go.
Me, too.
I'll go with you.
I guess we're all going, then.
Huh?
Where's Shion?
Here you go.
Th-Thanks.
Mint chocolate chip's
definitely my favorite.
I'm glad the two of us
got to hang out together!
Right?
Yeah.
Hey! Shion!
Where are you?
We said we'd meet at five!
Why aren't you here?!
Is that right?
I'm pretty sure I said four.
What?!
I'm disappointed you all stood us up.
Shion! I'm not letting you get away with this.
Prepare yourself.
I'd like to see you try.
We're on a boat right now.
Come find us out in the middle of the ocean.
Hey!
What is it?
Nothing. Isn't this ice cream good?
That jerk tricked us!
After everything I said, too.
He's hopeless.
Sooha will think we were really late.
Yeah.
Um, Shion
Thank you.
If everyone was busy, you must've
had something to do, too.
But you came anyway, right?
I'm really glad you did.
Yeah, I guess.
I value other people, you know?
This is actually my first
time coming to the plaza.
What? Why?
Oh, um because I'm afraid of crowds
Then why don't we go on a boat ride?
Huh?
You don't like crowds, right?
Let's go before it gets dark.
I'll go buy tickets. Wait here.
Okay.
Sooha.
Heli?
Are you at the plaza?
Huh? Yeah.
I thought you were busy today.
Yeah, but I have something
more important to do.
What's that?
Meeting you.
Y-You surprised me!
I didn't think you joked
about that sort of stuff.
It's true.
Huh?
I'm sorry I'm late to such
an important commitment.
I'll be there soon. Wait for me.
Okay.
I'd better tell Shion.
Huh? Is this the right way?
Maybe I should've waited at the plaza.
- Dark Moon: The Blood Altar -
- Dark Moon: The Blood Altar -
What's wrong with this person?
I need to run!
Something's not right.
I-Is he really a vampire?
Sh-Shion!
Sooha! Are you okay?
Y-Yeah. He suddenly attacked
me while I was looking for you.
Let's get out of here.
Shion!
Shion!
Huh? What?
Huh?!
Jakah?!
S-Sorry! It was an emergency.
Jaan!
Sooha! You okay?!
Yeah, thanks to Jakah.
Jaan!
That was close.
He just won't quit.
Give me the girl. Now.
What did you say?
Give you Sooha?
He wants her?
But why?
Jakah! Take Sooha and run!
Got it!
What is this?! We're going so fast!
W-Wait, Jakah.
Huh?
I'm gonna puke.
What are these guys doing here?
Are Sooha and Shion okay?
They won't stop coming.
Tell us who put you up to this.
What do you want?
This one's useless, too.
They've all lost their sense of reason.
They're just low-level vampires.
There's no talking to them.
Guys!
Where's Sooha?
Jakah took her to the plaza
where there are more people.
I see.
Hey, Shion.
How did this happen while you were with her?
Um, actually
I went to buy tickets by myself,
and when I got back, she was gone.
What? Don't leave her alone when
she's unfamiliar with the area!
Don't, Solon.
Nobody expected them to show up here.
What? Did he really say that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
What's going on?
These guys should know exposure to
sunlight would destroy them instantly.
True. Unlike us, they shouldn't be able
to move until it's completely dark out.
Why are they so desperate?
More importantly
This wasn't just a coincidence.
They were targeting Sooha.
H-Hey, are you okay?
Sorry.
I'm fine now.
Just dizzy because I've never
experienced this before.
I'm really sorry.
Saving you was the only thing on my mind.
Want me to carry you on my back?
I'm fine.
I'll feel better if I rest for a while.
But
thank you.
Huh?
You rescued me then, too.
You're always coming to my rescue.
Uh, sure.
In any case, I'm glad I made it in time.
Anyway, how did you know about today?
Huh?
You came to exactly where I was—
Oh, um
Huh?
I'm not sure where to start
Could it be
Chris?
It's okay. No matter what anyone
else says, I'll believe you.
I thought we'd always be together, but
Vampires took Chris from me.
Sooha.
Sooha, can you hear me?
Sooha.
