Not enough? Something I've got... or rather, something inside of me.
She needs it? And so she needs me to get it?
Out of my body?!
Now if I can just use this key to get the door open, then maybe there'll be an exit on the other side! ... I hope.
It's that weird maid again... She keeps staring
at herself in the mirror like she hates herself
or something. I can't see why.
Her skin, her eyes, her body... They all look
fine to me. Oh, well, blame society I guess...
This just keeps getting worse and worse.
Not only am I stuck in this
creepy castle, but now I have been shut
in some place that isn't even on any map.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Huh? I just saw something... swimming outside.
I know this sounds crazy but it looked like this fish from a different time period that I saw once in a museum when I was little.
[Diary Excerpts from the mansion library]
Feb 8th, 1784
I have decided to summon that renowned master alchemist to the castle.
There is talk that the count has used a technique known as the "dry method" to obtain eternal life. Some may consider it sacrilege.
But with the lord's thankless cooperation, I will base my research off of any findings obtained through their generous sacrifices.
Nov 16th, 1882
Eternal life obtained through the power of the dry method seems to carry no side effects.
As it stands, the lord is showing no effects of aging. Even though his skin is cracked,
his flesh rotten, and his entrails liquefied, it appears that death will not be visiting him
any time soon. However, I will carry on with my research... After all, in my case, time actually is on my side.
May 2nd, 1898
The eternal life brought from the power of the dry method is not bound by time nor spiritual energies.
However, it is not enough to fully realize my dreams.
Any research beyond this point will be meaningless without the secret Azoth.
December 29th, 1944
My interest toward my dry method research is waning.
But I shall write its formula, as well as the results of my research here.
A group of followers and I have calmed 4 flames which symbolize the basic elements.
Thusly, the alchemic chain has been ruptured and the spirit has been eternally freed from the body.
Followers... Calming the flame?
It sounds like these are smaller steps to a larger process.
I wonder what it is for?
The numbers on the lines highlighted in red
must hold some meaning.
Come on... Think it through, Fiona.
[The Room of Truth and the Room of Deception]
The room on the other side seems to have been
designed as a symmetrical match to this one.
However... there is something different
about this room. Something doesn't feel right.
[The crossbow hallway]
Hewie has caught wind of something again...
I'm going to say that his hair standing on end isn't a good sign.
Maybe I should send him to scout ahead first?
[Decisive Battle - Daniella]
What? Not even that stopped her!
What is she, the maid from hell?
Come on, she has to have some kind of weakness! But what can it be?
[End of Decisive Battle]
I guess... I'm safe. Why is it always like this?
Why must I kill just to keep myself alive?
I hate this place... I really do.
