[ history cont. ]
Pandora, as he learns, was made to protect the abyss. And illogically, he is the key. To what exactly, he isn't sure, but Pandora has made it clear that they want him--they even tried to save him from the abyss, having made preparations to do such just before the boy returned with Alice. Forced to become a 'subordinate' of the odd organization, Oz and his 'following' are sent out into the capital to explore, eat, and the works. Eventually, these rendezvous lead the group to the old mansion where Oz's coming-of-age-ceremony was held. Vines have grown over the old building and time has taken its toll on it. Oz wonders how the place could change so suddenly in just a few days. However, while sharing a conversation with Alice outside about friendship, gunshots are heard and Oz's confusion is finally cleared. Concerned as to what is going on, Oz rushes inside with Alice at his side, only to find a hooded Baskerville at the top of the stairs, with a horribly familiar chain dubbed Doldum.
Within her control are members of Pandora, moving about with zombie-like gaits, as well as Raven, who is tangled up in the middle by invisible, unbreakable bonds. The hooded baskerville, addressed as Zwei, notices Oz's arrival and cackles manically, looking to Raven with utter amusement. Without warning, Zwei announces that ten years have passed and it's ironic that Raven would be posessed once more by her, in this very spot.
And that is when she addresses the man as 'Gilbert Nightray', a sadistic smile on her lips. Unable to accept that ten years have passed in only a day, at most, in the abyss, Oz rushes forward, only to be attacked by a posessed Raven. The man, obviously physically stronger, manages to pin Oz to the ground, a look of hatred and insanity in his eyes. Without thinking, Oz's hands make quick work with the man's cravat, struggling to get up...only to find a scar leading from Raven's shoulder to his hip. The same scar he had given his servant before disappearing into the abyss. Oz then is faced with an absoluete reality; Raven is Gilbert.
Ashmaed that he had been gone so long, and had caused the servant so much anguish, Oz reaches for Raven's gun, telling him he'd be better off dead than living to see the hurt and pain he caused Gilbert--knowing that he broke his promise of staying with the servant. Somehow, Raven snaps out of his trance and just before Oz shoots himself, redirects the gun in Zwei's direction. After the chaos of settles down, and Raven pledges loyalty to Oz, even though he had betrayed him by Joining the Nightrays, the group return to the capital.
While exploring one day, Oz is left in an alleyway with Gilbert's hat while Alice and Raven 'get food'.
