EPISODE 25: LIVE TROUGH
Vash wakes up, bandaged from head to toe, in a mysterious bed. He begins to remember killing Legato and cries. Meryl then walks into the room with some groceries. She explains that they're in a small town far outside of LR. Meryl then leaves the room as the situation becomes awkward and she hears Vash's screams echo throughout the building.
Outside the building, Meryl talks to the doctor who treated Vash a bit, then meets up with Milly (who is earning wages as a construction worker in the town, getting the town well to reach water). Milly and Meryl are then walking through town when they see Vash at the top of a high mountain.
On the mountain, Vash is crying about what to do after he meets Knives. He thinks of himself as no better than his brother, having killed a man now with his own hands. As he is sulking, Meryl and Milly approach him from behind. Vash then tells Meryl that he wants to go to see Rem, to go where Rem is. Vash then faints.
Meryl and Milly take Vash to their room. Meryl begins to feel guilty, she blames herself for forcing Vash to kill Legato. Milly snaps Meryl out of her guilt and their spirits rise again. Days pass and Vash begins to recover thanks to Milly and Meryl's hard work (Meryl took a job as a waitress).
One particular day, Vash is sitting outside on a bench. A delivery truck stops by at the house near door and one of the two men inside delivers a package to the house's resident. The delivery man tells the resident that 12 towns are now missing their citizens and that LR is a complete mess. Suddenly, the truck's driver tells everyone to get into the truck. He takes off and tells the other delivery man and the resident that he saw Vash the Stampede.
It's night. Vash is sitting on the mountain, singing softly to the star-filled sky. Meryl joins him from behind and sits beside.
The next day, the townspeople surround Milly and Meryl and capture Vash, tying him up. One of the townspeople beats up on Vash and pulls a gun to him. The townsperson is very bent on killing Vash, until Meryl calmly talks to him and approaches him, in a manner that is very reminding of Rem.
Later on in the evening, Vash is sitting alone with Milly and Meryl. Vash suddenly gets inspired by Meryl's previous behavior and runs up to hug her, weeping happily.
The next day has Vash, fully dressed with his gun, leaving the town. Milly runs up to him and brings him Wolfwood's giant cross-weapon. Vash straps it to his back - it will be a tribute to his old friend - and then heads out. Milly and Meryl wave goodbye, tears streaming down their faces. Meryl wishes she had said more to the Stampede.
The episode ends with Vash's voice, he declares that he will save Knives.
