Soon thereafter, Mikoto also dies! A moment later, Norwin declares to the group that he has puzzled out the real culprit.<br /> |Dialogue =<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} There are five dolls!<br /> {{ST|Summer Mikoto}} What in the world...?<br /> {{ST|Sinoa}} Patia! She's gone!<br /> {{ST|Everyone}} !<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Everyone spread out and look for Patia!<br /> &lt;hr style=&quot;margin:1em auto&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ST|Notte}} Guys! Over here!<br /> {{ST|Summer Patia}} ......<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} It's Patia, but she's...<br /> {{ST|Summer Mikoto}} I sense no breathing; she certainly appears to have passed.<br /> {{ST|Notte}} Yeah, but she's not DEAD dead—she's just all crammed inside one'a these little creepaziod dolls here.<br /> {{ST|Notte}} So we can bring her and everyone else back, right? ...Right?<br /> {{ST|Sinoa}} I fear that may be wishful thinking.<br /> {{ST|Notte}} Aw, c'mon...<br /> {{ST|Norwin}} I think Carmen knows something.<br /> {{ST|Summer Amane}} Perhaps, but good luck trying to force that miscreant to reveal it!<br /> {{ST|Carmen}} Aw, you're gonna get me soaked with all these boo-hoo tears!<br /> {{ST|Everyone}} !<br /> {{ST|Carmen}} You scamps did good to find this place. Aren't you the smartest widdle duckies? Yes you are!<br /> {{ST|Summer Amane}} You are SO infuriating, Carmen! Go stick your snout somewhere else!<br /> {{ST|Notte}} Yeah, I thought you were an overseer or a guide or whatever, but you mostly just show up and tick everybody off.<br /> {{ST|Carmen}} Ouch, that hurts. Right in the ol' kisser! Buuut, fine. You want to know the score? Here it is...<br /> {{ST|Carmen}} This is a prison for souls: A place where those who lose the game are trapped. Think of it as a rumpus room where Scylla keeps her personal collection.<br /> {{ST|Summer Amane}} You can't mean she thinks of these foul dolls as a COLLECTION?!<br /> {{ST|Carmen}} I can and do! Scylla just loves to capture live souls so she can look at 'em and play with 'em and... Well, whatever she wants to do, I suppose.<br /> {{ST|Carmen}} So she turns souls into dolls and stores 'em right here in this cavernous cave. ...Betcha didn't see THAT coming! Zing!<br /> {{ST|Sinoa}} So they aren't dead yet?<br /> {{ST|Carmen}} Technically, no—but it's only a matter of time before Scylla gobbles 'em up. Gotta get that fresh soul flavor, am I right?<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Carmen, is there any way to return our friends to normal?<br /> {{ST|Carmen}} Oh sure—and it's a real wowser of a method. But THAT'S something you won't learn until the end of the game.<br /> {{ST|Summer Amane}} I wish you would cease your blabbering and just tell us the plain truth for once!<br /> {{ST|Carmen}} Truth? Lady, I've told you nothing BUT the truth—that's just how I was made! In fact, I'll drop one more truthbomb on you right now about your big final prize.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Our...prize?<br /> {{ST|Carmen}} As you know, the person who survives to the end can choose to live and leave this island. Buuuuut...<br /> {{ST|Carmen}} They can ALSO serve as a substitute for the others.<br /> {{ST|Summer Amane}} A substitute?!<br /> {{ST|Carmen}} Yep! If they choose to die and let Scylla devour their soul, all their little pals get to leave the island without becoming scrumptious spiritual snackies.<br /> {{ST|Carmen}} Hark the noble, self-sacrificing heart! ...Makes great patter, am I right?<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} So if the last remaining person chooses to sacrifice themselves, the rest get to live?<br /> {{ST|Carmen}} Did I stutter? Seriously, it's not that complicated. One life in exchange for a whole bunch of 'em. What a deal!<br /> {{ST|Notte}} But then the last person has to die. Like, REALLY die.<br /> {{ST|Everyone}} ......<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} I'd always thought I'd be ready to sacrifice myself for others, but...<br /> {{ST|Summer Mikoto}} It is not courage to run toward one's own death without thought or pause. Such a decision is difficult for all living creatures.<br /> {{ST|Sinoa}} And even if he did agree to do it, we'd still have to trust him.<br /> {{ST|Norwin}} And trust is very hard to come by in these dark days, it would seem.<br /> {{ST|Notte}} What, you think he'll betray everybody and leave us to die here while he sails off into the sunset? Do you even KNOW him?!<br /> {{ST|Sinoa}} No, that's not what I mean—I'm referring to the fact that Scylla is one of us.<br /> {{ST|Notte}} Oh yeah. THAT.<br /> {{ST|Summer Amane}} I don't want to doubt him, but we can't ignore the possibility that she is him.<br /> {{ST|Sinoa}} Of course, it's the same for all of us, which means we're all under suspicion.<br /> {{ST|Sinoa}} If it's only the person who survives until the end who gets the right to choose, that means the others are already dead.<br /> {{ST|Sinoa}} We cannot afford to fail.<br /> {{ST|Everyone}} ......<br /> {{ST|Summer Amane}} Even before all that, the notion of assuming someone will die for the rest of us is nigh-unthinkable.<br /> {{ST|Sinoa}} Agreed—but in that case, what are our options?<br /> {{ST|Norwin}} ......<br /> {{ST|Norwin}} Carmen? How do we win this game?<br /> {{ST|Carmen}} You're asking that NOW? Sheesh! But yeah, the way to win is to be the last person standing. I mean, dur.<br /> {{ST|Norwin}} That's not what I mean, exactly.<br /> {{ST|Norwin}} That's how I can win over everyone else, but I want to know how we can ALL win.<br /> {{ST|Carmen}} Ooooooo! Now THAT is an interesting question, my sylvan friend.<br /> {{ST|Norwin}} For example, if we discover Scylla and defeat her, does that mean we've won?<br /> {{ST|Carmen}} ...Huh. You know what? I have no idea. It's actually never come up before.<br /> {{ST|Carmen}} Although this IS Scylla's island, so if she was gone, I imagine lots of other things would also end up gone.<br /> {{ST|Summer Amane}} Right then. We find Scylla, crush her, and end this charade for good!<br /> {{ST|Carmen}} Uuugh, you people are sooo naive. You're just little pieces on a board, but Scylla is the one moving you around!<br /> {{ST|Carmen}} You're not even fighting on the same level; she'll wipe the floor with you!<br /> {{ST|Norwin}} Then does that make YOU our opponent, Carmen?<br /> {{ST|Carmen}} What? No. That's dumb. If you're pieces on a board, then I'm more like...the board. It's not even an option to fight me.<br /> {{ST|Summer Mikoto}} In that case, further dialogue is useless. I will slay everyone and become the victor.<br /> {{ST|The Prince}} Wait, WHAT?!<br /> {{ST|Summer Mikoto}} No matter who among us is Scylla, the end result will be the same so long as I cut everyone down.<br /> {{ST|Summer Mikoto}} Once this game is at an end, I will simply offer up my soul in exchange for yours.<br /> {{ST|Notte}} But then you'll DIE, man!<br /> {{ST|Summer Mikoto}} I am already one with nature; it will change little for my soul to be vacated from this earthly vessel.<br /> {{ST|Summer Mikoto}} My existence will simply continue in a different form.<br /> {{ST|Summer Amane}} And what if YOU are Scylla?!<br /> {{ST|Summer Mikoto}} I cannot prove a negative. All that can be done is to ask that you trust me.<br /> {{ST|Summer Amane}} You talk like this is easy, but I know you understand the gravity of this situation.<br /> {{ST|Summer Amane}} Still, at this point your plan might be better than going around in circles forever.<br /> {{ST|Summer Amane}} I don't know about the others, Mikoto, but I trust you.<br /> {{ST|Summer Mikoto}} Then perhaps this marks the end of our troublesome situation.<br /> {{ST|Summer Amane}} HOWEVER...do you trust me?<br /> {{ST|Summer Mikoto}} Of course. I have no reason not to.<br /> {{ST|Summer Amane}} Then leave this duty to me.<br /> {{ST|Summer Mikoto}} I cannot.<br /> {{ST|Summer Amane}} So you DON'T trust me!<br /> {{ST|Summer Mikoto}} That is not the case. However, I... I... URK!<br /> {{ST|Summer Amane}} Mikoto? What is it?<br /> {{ST|Summer Mikoto}} M-my strength...falters...<br /> {{ST|Summer Amane}} Mikoto?! MIKOTO!<br /> {{ST|Mikoto}} ......<br /> {{ST|Sinoa}} His heartbeat has stopped.<br /> {{ST|Sinoa}} But no one DID anything to him.<br /> {{ST|Norwin}} I understand now.<br /> {{ST|Norwin}} I've figured it out.<br /> {{ST|Notte}} Figured out WHAT?<br /> {{ST|Norwin}} The culprit in all of this. I know who has killed Mikoto and all the others.<br /> {{ST|Everyone}} ?!<br /> {{ST|Summer Amane}} Then TELL us, for the love of all!<br /> {{ST|Norwin}} The culprit is...<br /> &lt;center&gt;''And then there were five.''&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> }}</div>
