FINAL INVESTIGATION

[Well, your time, your anger, your losses have led up to this.

It's time to go, and that blue card will give access to the floors above. In particular, there is the floor Barbara mentioned before the throne room, which seems to be a good idea to check out beforehand.

Indeed, it's much like the previous floors the Strangers had lived in, only smaller.]



[There is another elevator in the area, but that is inaccessible. Even using Marie's card doesn't seem to work on it. Hm. No matter. Marie's card works on all of these rooms, so it's fine, right?

In any case, if there's answers to be found about just whose in charge - and what in the world is going on - this is the last chance of finding them. You've all gotten this far, and as your teams descend on the rooms, you can feel the end is near. Hopefully, that end is not that of the universe - or of Ivy.

Good hunting, Titled.]

[ He looks aside and laughs. ]

... I wish caring for someone meant obeying them... my daughter often completely ignores what I ask of her...

[ A sigh. ]

I don't think he was thinking things through. Or maybe he was afraid. Or perhaps he was convinced it was the best choice for some reason.

... I don't know. I don't know, and now... I know he has to die.

[And it hurts. Every time he has to kill an Abel, it tears at him. It's not regret or a wish to be forgiven, because that would imply that it's something that he was wrong about - and he's not.]

[But it's some form of grief, at least. Some flashback to the first time, and what came after.]

I... don't want him to have to die. But I have no choice now.

[losergod]

Maybe you don't have to. Maybe you can still make him see reason? I...

[ ... He doesn't want to see anyone have to go through another Vincent. ]

[crouching_sin]

... Maybe. I don't know. It... depends how fast I can get to him.
