Book 1 Chapter 5

Verse 1
Bondage. Justice. Brutality. Depravity. Dependence.

Misery. Delusion. Languor. Masochism...

All slaves to their desires.

"Welcome to this godforsaken world!"

"Make yourselves at home!"

"Now, it's time to start killing!"

The dolls' deranged voices filled the air.

But there was nothing to fear.

Despite their individual desires, they shared a common wish...

To revive them.

I wish to tell these puppets to go to hell.

I have my own reasons to fight.

Those puppets will soon get their due.

Hansel, Hansel, Hansel, Hansel...

That's the spirit! Keep it up!

We accept! We accept!

Verse 2
There's no turning back now.

Such a shame...No one ever comprehends in time.

Verse 3
Alice the Bound. Snow the Just.

They will not run from this reality.

The choice was theirs to make.

Verse 4
Please, show us your desires.

Please, reveal your greed.

Please, expose your envy.

Verse 5
Cinderella the Depraved.

Red Riding Hood the Brutal.

Who are these wretches standing before us?

Verse 6
Wonderful! Splendid!

That's it! Keep going!

Verse 7
Sleeping Beauty the Languorous.

Gretel the Deluded.

Bored of this world?

Then why not put it to rest?

Verse 8
Nothing comes "free" in this world.

Verse 9
Princess Kaguya the Masochist.

Pinocchio the Dependent.

Are they of any use to this world?

Verse 10
A fetid smell permeated the darkness.

Something moved.

It murmured.

"That is a cursed child of this world."

"You must kill it."

Unseeing eyes.

A blade soaked and sullied with blood.

Before Parrah and Noya's grating voices could melt away,

the beast's sorrowful mouth began to laugh.

It smells. It's loud. Keep it away.

I'm scared...So scared...

Nothing to do with me... Nope, nothing at all.

Heh heh heh. You sure about that?

Even if you avert your eyes and cover your ears...

There's no escape! You have to fight!

The nightmare shrieked as it crumbled to ask.

Then they spoke...

"You must have realized by now."

"Surely you've realized."

Those were my clothes.

That was my voice.

This is my weapon.

"Desires are never fulfilled for free!"

"Pay up! Pay up! This is the price!"

Cursed bonds -- a price in and of itself.

It was a reality that Alice and the others contemplated in silence.

...

......

You're really starting to get it.

You're really comin' along.

Truth hides behind reality.

But knowin' it comes at a price.

There's no turnin' back now.

This nightmares will never end.

Kee-hee-hee...On to the next battle.

Kee-hee-hee... A gruesome and terrible tragedy...
