Please note that these do not appear in the Heroine's Memories menu under Bonus (thus these are not the events' official names), and will only appear after the alternate true ending of the game. Additionally, all of these are shared with Little Mermaid.

### Bonus 1

*(Hallway)*

* **Jack:** Otsuu and Little Mermaid must feel uneasy right now... Not like they have privacy, too... They won't outright complain about being in the same room, so maybe I should bring it up from my side. This is getting awkward... I mean, it's not like we've had a lot of time talking as humans...
* **Little Mermaid:** Is someone there?

*(Enter Little Mermaid)*

* **Little Mermaid:** Ah, Jack!
* **Jack:** Whoa! Little Mermaid! S-Sorry to have bothered you! I was just wondering if everything was okay, especially with how so much has changed...
* **Little Mermaid:** Yes, I've had no trouble at all. Oh, but perfect timing! I wanted to talk to you about something. Come on in!

*(Otsuu and Little Mermaid's Room, Enter Otsuu)*

* **Jack:** Um, what's this you want to talk about?
* **Little Mermaid:** I'm so happy to spend my time with Otsuu and everyone. It also helps seeing you in human form.
* **Jack:** Well, I didn't fall down into some underground area in this world.
* **Little Mermaid:** Right? So, I wanted to thank you. Thank you for bringing me back to life.
* **Jack:** Oh no! I didn't do anything! It only happened because the others were willing to listen to me...
* **Little Mermaid:** The only one who knows me in this world is Sis. No one knew about Otsuu, and yet everyone pitched in to help... That all came about because of you, Jack. If you didn't take action, neither me or Otsuu would be here. So, thank you so very much.
* **Jack:** No problem at all. I'm happy that both of you are here now.
* **Little Mermaid:** I guess all that adventuring with Nightmare Jack wasn't all for naught.
* **Jack:** Yeah, we're here now because of what we went through back in the other world. (Thank goodness... She's no different than before. I thought the new environment she's in would make her anxious, but I guess she's fine.)
* **Otsuu:** Um, Jack...?
* **Jack:** Hm? What's the matter?
* **Otsuu:** Um, you about, uh... Well, um... I'm sorry I didn't have the chance to say it, but... Um... Th-Thanks...
* **Jack:** Well, I'm just happy we can talk like this together.
* **Otsuu:** Uh, so... Hope we get along here, too.
* **Jack:** Oh, uh... Okay... Same here...
* **Otsuu:** ...
* **Jack:** ...
* **Little Mermaid:** Why are you two blushing?
* **Jack:** Oh, um, it's just that I regained my memories back when I was a Nightmare, and... I wasn't necessarily bright back then, and I was living with her, so...
* **Otsuu:** S-Stop it...!
* **Jack:** Wha-?! Oh, uh! S-Sorry, Otsuu!
* **Little Mermaid:** So...?
* **Jack:** So, uh, it feels like remembering childhood days... You know? It's just embarrassing to remember.
* **Little Mermaid:** Oh, I see. You were able to see Otsuu as how she is when you were a Nightmare. So, is that why you're embarrassed too, Otsuu?
* **Otsuu:** W-Well, I guess? But beyond that... I feel awkward because I was the cause of everything back then...
* **Little Mermaid:** Oh, right...
* **Jack:** Don't worry. If it wasn't for the other world, I wouldn't be here with you two.
* **Little Mermaid:** Jack... He's right, Otsuu. You did all that for me too, right? No need to put yourself down like that.
* **Otsuu:** Thanks... Hearing you two just lifted the heavy burden on me...
* **Little Mermaid:** So, about being embarrassed... What kind of embarrassing thing happened, Otsuu?
* **Otsuu:** You have to bring it up again, don't you?!
* **Little Mermaid:** Of course ♪
* **Otsuu:** I was just embarrassed about how Jack knew what I was thinking with how our dreams were linked...
* **Jack:** Um, same here, too... (She knows how I kept thinking about wanting to protect Alice... Yikes! The more I think about it, the more embarrassing it is!)
* **Little Mermaid:** You two are like brothers with how you both are thinking alike.
* **Otsuu:** That... makes a lot of sense.
* **Jack:** I guess we are thinking about the same kind of things.
* **Otsuu:** Brothers... That doesn't exactly represent us two, but... Hope we get along even better, Jack.
* **Jack:** Same here.
* **Little Mermaid:** Ooh, a handshake! So, it's like being soul brothers!
* **Jack:** H-Hey, Little Mermaid!
* **Otsuu:** Jack... I need to talk with you later on about things not to disclose...
* **Jack:** You mean about how you were secretly practicing your lines to make you sound like a prince?
* **Otsuu:** Yes, that!
* **Jack:** Oh, sorry! (So, she really did do that...)

### Bonus 2

*(Rest Area)*

* **Jack:** (Hm...? I was wondering where everyone went... What are they doing at the cafeteria?)

*(Enter All Blood Maidens)*

* **Red Riding Hood:** You and Otsuu are really comfy with each other, but how comfy are you two? Spill it.
* **Little Mermaid:** Uh, um... Before we continue, do you mind I call you how I used to?
* **Red Riding Hood:** Of course! You can call me "dear sister" or "Sis" or anything!
* **Little Mermaid:** Thank you, Sis...
* **Red Riding Hood:** Heh heh! You're so cute! Oh yeah, what did Otsuu call me by?
* **Otsuu:** Red Riding Hood.
* **Red Riding Hood:** Ew, booooring...
* **Alice:** Oh, Jack!
* **Rapunzel:** Jack! Over here!
* **Jack:** Looks like everyone is having fun.
* **Snow White:** We were just talking with Otsuu and Mermie! Isn't that right, sister Thumbelina?
* **Thumbelina:** Yeah, it just feels weird that they know us, you know?
* **Gretel:** Very intriguing...
* **Sleeping Beauty:** Yup... Yup...
* **Red Riding Hood:** So, how come you two are so friendly with each other?
* **Otsuu:** It's because she saved my life and showed me what kindness really is.
* **Little Mermaid:** That's not true. She saved me by treating me with kindness.
* **Jack:** That was back when you were a Nightmare, right?
* **Otsuu:** Yes, and if I didn't meet Princess back then, I'm sure I would've perished as a Nightmare.
* **Kaguya:** So that's how you two met? What an unusual meeting of fate.
* **Otsuu:** Princess saved me form the Marchens who were attacking me. I was cowardly back then, and stayed away from Princess in fear, even though she saved me...
* **Little Mermaid:** It can't be helped. I did enter my Massacre state, you know? Oh, and you're the one who saved me. You saved me from my solitude by staying with me, even if it was from afar.
* **Thumbelina:** Staying with you?
* **Otsuu:** To repay Princess for what she'd done, I left food for her to which she responded with her singing.
* **Little Mermaid:** That was all I could do. I'm sorry I was too scared to show myself to you...
* **Otsuu:** That can't be helped. I was a Nightmare after all.
* **Snow White:** Singing! That's so wonderful! Such a great way to show your gratitude!
* **Hameln:** Come to think of it, I recall hearing Little Mermaid's singing from that microphone.
* **Snow White:** I was a bit farther away, so I couldn't hear, but was her singing as beautiful as I think it is?
* **Otsuu:** Why, of course! I would pay anything to get to hear her sing!
* **Red Riding Hood:** Really? Well then, let's hear it.
* **Little Mermaid:** O-Otsuu! Please, you're making it difficult for me! Sis, maybe next time, okay?
* **Red Riding Hood:** Aw... Party pooper...
* **Rapunzel:** Ooh! Otsuu, why you a prince?
* **Gretel:** That's something I wanted to ask, too.
* **Otsuu:** Well...
* **Red Riding Hood:** C'mon, spill it.
* **Jack:** (Red Riding Hood can be a bit pushy at times...)
* **Otsuu:** We're married...
* **Cinderella:** Married?!
* **Little Mermaid:** Oh, uh, it just means that we're so close to each other that it's like we're married... No... Um, we took our vows in marriage...
* **Thumbelina:** Uh, I don't know what to say...
* **Red Riding Hood:** Love can take different forms. I don't see anything wrong with what you just told me.
* **Gretel:** This was back in the other world I presume.
* **Otsuu:** Yeah... My wish to see Princess again came true, so I offered my hand in marriage when we met.
* **Little Mermaid:** But Otsuu asked me to take her as my wife. I'm not the husband-type, so I just asked her to become my prince.
* **Kaguya:** Oh, so is that why Otsuu is trying to act like a prince?
* **Alice:** Otsuu is more the princely type don't you think, Jack?
* **Jack:** Yeah, but despite her looks, she's very much like any normal girl...
* **Otsuu:** Excuse me, Jack?! I-I would never exhibit such...
* **Alice:** Jack... How much of Otsuu do you really know?
* **Jack:** S-Sorry! B-But, didn't I explain to you about the other world?!
* **Alice:** That's right. You were a Nightmare and Otsuu needed to be with you to prevent you from going wild.
* **Otsuu:** Um, when it comes to going wild you were a bit of that, Alice...
* **Alice:** What?! Really?! Um, I'm not sure what happened, but... I'm sorry.
* **Otsuu:** Heh heh, it's nothing for you to apologize about. I'm just happy I can talk to you like this now.
* **Little Mermaid:** Absolutely!
* **Red Riding Hood:** Say, how were the others?
* **Otsuu:** Um, Red Riding Hood...
* **Little Mermaid:** You were reliable as ever, but Otsuu kept trying to calm you down to avoid getting into trouble.
* **Gretel:** I see... In others words, she was the same.
* **Red Riding Hood:** H-Hey, I don't get into trouble!
* **Otsuu:** Gretel was always calm, and gave us a lot of sound decisions, even in the harshest of times.
* **Little Mermaid:** You were also very inquisitive, and kept bugging Otsuu for answers.
* **Gretel:** I wouldn't have expected any less of myself.
* **Otsuu:** Rapunzel... referred to Princess as looking delicious...
* **Rapunzel:** How'd you know Rapunzel think that!
* **Little Mermaid:** Same here too, huh? ... Please don't eat me...
* **Otsuu:** Kaguya was a hard worker, and would always help whenever possible.
* **Kaguya:** I see... So I'm the same, too.
* **Red Riding Hood:** Uh, not by a long shot...
* **Otsuu:** Thumby would often argue, but she would always help at the most crucial of times.
* **Thumbelina:** It feels weird hearing myself being praised when it wasn't me...
* **Snow White:** You're relied on anywhere! Snow White is so proud!
* **Sleeping Beauty:** Yup...! Yup...!
* **Little Mermaid:** Of course, Snow White and Sleepy were kind to us all the time!
* **Otsuu:** I'm just happy to see you three so friendly with each other...
* **Thumbelina:** Why wouldn't we? We would never get into a fight with each other!
* **Little Mermaid:** Um, sure...
* **Hameln:** My turn! How about me?!
* **Otsuu:** Hameln... Are you the Demon King?
* **Hameln:** How did you know?! Yes, I am the Demon King Hameln!
* **Otsuu:** I see... Which means you're no different from the Hameln we knew.
* **Hameln:** What?! What do you mean by that?!
* **Otsuu:** The Hameln we knew was a hero that we placed our trust on.
* **Hameln:** What?! A hero you say?!
* **Gretel:** Well now, that puts her on the opposite spectrum of things.
* **Otsuu:** No, she's the same. Amazingly the same... In fact, the only thing different is her attire.
* **Hameln:** I don't know why, but the look on Otsuu's face is strangely rude...
* **Little Mermaid:** Heh heh... She's just trying to say that she's happy Hammy is Hammy.
* **Hameln:** Hm... I see... Well, fyne thyen.
* **Otsuu:** Oh, and the Hameln back in the other world kept slurring, too.
* **Gretel:** I see why you said she's the same now.
* **Thumbelina:** Same as usual, even in another world...
* **Hameln:** You're all making fun of me, aren't you?!
* **Red Riding Hood:** Was there anyone else left?
* **Cinderella:** Wh-What about me? It's quite unnerving to be the very last one...
* **Otsuu:** Cinderella... You're the most surprising out of everyone.
* **Little Mermaid:** Yes... I'm surprised how grown you are with all the curves in the right areas...
* **Cinderella:** What do you mean?
* **Otsuu:** The Cinderella in the other world went missing during her youth while in Blood Skelter. A long while passed, and when we found her, she was still in her youthful form.
* **Little Mermaid:** So, this is the first time we've seen you grown...
* **Otsuu:** Yes... What a relief.
* **Cinderella:** Unbelievable... But, hearing your tone of speech shows how you cared about the others.
* **Otsuu:** But this all happened because of me... I was the cause of everything...
* **Jack:** I think I said it before, but your train of thought is wrong. Both you and Little Mermaid wouldn't be here with us without that other world. The result we see is because of the courage and love you've shown. What you did was with reason.
* **Little Mermaid:** He's right. We wouldn't be in this world if it wasn't for the other world. So please, don't try to bring yourself down over it.
* **Red Riding Hood:** Um... Not sure what this is all about, but we're all here now, so don't worry already!
* **Cinderella:** My, she's right. I don't care who I was or what happened to me back in the other world.
* **Jack:** Did you hear that, Otsuu? You can smile already, you know?
* **Otsuu:** Jack... Everyone... Thank you...

### Bonus 3

*(Rest Area)*

* **Jack:** Where could Alice have gone? (Hm? That's...)

*(Enter Otsuu, Little Mermaid, Alice, and Gretel)*

* **Otsuu:** So, what is it that you wanted to talk about, Gretel, Alice?
* **Alice:** We wanted to ask you some things in case you knew.
* **Little Mermaid:** You mean about the other world? If so, we'll try to answer as best as we can.
* **Gretel:** No, it's about the white core.
* **Jack:** Do you mind I join?
* **Alice:** Ah, Jack...
* **Gretel:** Why, please do. It seems like you know about it, too.
* **Jack:** I'll answer what I can. So, what about the white core?
* **Gretel:** I believe it's also referred to as the "Witchcraft" based on you and Otsuu's conversation.
* **Otsuu:** That name came to me from the core back when I was wandering the underground cavern. Now that I think about it, that could've come from Snark's information.
* **Gretel:** That could be possible. Well, for the sake of simplicity, I'll just refer to it as the "white core." Ultimately, it brought about the revival of Little Mermaid, and turned Otsuu into a human. So, does this white core really hold the power to do such things?
* **Alice:** It basically granted your wish, right? If so, the power it holds is astounding.
* **Gretel:** Even if it asked for the body of the deceased, it could bring that one back to life. It also holds the power to transform or reincarnate Nightmares into humans. In any case, the power it exhibited is beyond any mortals.
* **Otsuu:** Mmm... It's true that I turned into a human, and that Princess came back to life. But that was just luck. The core isn't as convenient as you two may be thinking.
* **Alice:** But it did grant your wish, right?
* **Otsuu:** Do you both know what the Jail is from a biological standpoint?
* **Alice:** I believe you and Rapunzel ate the Jail's walls.
* **Gretel:** Indeed. To add, the walls don't seem to be any type of animal protein. I suppose the Jail is some type of flora?
* **Otsuu:** Yes, it's a flora all right. It is something called a "Theophil" that grows to become a Jail.
* **Jack:** It feels weird thinking that some plant is keeping us down here...
* **Otsuu:** It's hard to believe, but it makes sense when you consider the tower is a stamen and the moon is a pistil.
* **Alice:** I suppose...
* **Otsuu:** Flora can differ in growth depending on the environment. It's like how there are varying types and sizes of apples.
* **Alice:** So let's say what you said is true... Are you suggesting that we happened to be in a good Jail?
* **Jack:** I think Snark's strong desire made him fuse with the Jail, but... I don't think his form was something that he wished for...
* **Gretel:** So, the Jail's environmental state wasn't the most desirable?
* **Jack:** Yeah... Whatever the case, I doubt that was the desired result...
* **Gretel:** Interesting. I suppose it's true that Snark didn't want to fuse with the Jail.
* **Otsuu:** I haven't seen the Snark in this world, so I can't confirm, but... Like Jack said, I'm sure the environment wasn't well, so his desire wasn't properly reflected.
* **Little Mermaid:** Does that mean the Metropolitan Office Jail was special?
* **Otsuu:** I believe so... That Jail was formed from the many desires stemming from the Festival of the Weaver.
* **Gretel:** Festival of the Weaver... I read about it before. People would tie their wishes to a tree, was it?
* **Otsuu:** Yes... It's an age-old tradition where people wrote their wishes to be tied onto some tree. In other words, I believe that Jail held greater powers because of all the wishes it formed from.
* **Alice:** As a result, it exhibited stronger powers as it was a manifestation of wishes...
* **Otsuu:** I don't have any proof, but that's the best assumption I can come up with. To add, cores hold special properties reminiscent of each Jail they are in. Some cores will grant wishes right, whereas other may twist wishes, and more... Which is why there was a chance we could've turned into some kind of monster... We did wish for the world to be back to how it was, and that didn't come out perfectly, too.
* **Little Mermaid:** I think that was because we may have had regrets deep inside of us...
* **Alice:** I see... So it isn't as convenient as we thought.
* **Gretel:** On the contrary, it's too volatile to control.
* **Little Mermaid:** It just so happened that Otsuu's gamble came out good.
* **Otsuu:** Yes... That's one way to word it.
* **Little Mermaid:** I know it's weird for me to say this, but I don't want you to take such a gamble again, Otsuu.
* **Otsuu:** Yes, nothing that will bring grief to you, my princess. I promise.
* **Alice:** If the cores are that volatile, there's no telling what can be found on the surface. I guess it just means we need to prepare ourselves well.
* **Otsuu:** I appreciate you understanding the dangers behind the white core.
* **Alice:** In turn, I appreciate you telling us about it. I'm happy you and Little Mermaid joined us. You're both of great help, isn't that right, Gretel?
* **Gretel:** I can at least say you two have piqued my interest even further.
* **Otsuu:** You really aren't different at all no matter what world you're in...
* **Little Mermaid:** Heh heh, that's the Gretel I know.
* **Gretel:** I'll assume that's a compliment.
* **Jack:** With everyone here, I think we can overcome any obstacles.
* **Otsuu:** I can't agree with you more. It's a miracle we converged like this after all.
* **Little Mermaid:** We faced a lot, but we did make it through all of them.
* **Alice:** And, I'm sure there are more to come, but nothing will falter the hope I feel within me.
* **Gretel:** If you saw the future of the other world, then I would love to see what the future holds here.
* **Jack:** Absolutely! We're going to make it to the surface, and see what the future holds for us above!

## *Mary Skelter: Finale*

### Official Introduction

*(Jack's Room)*

* **Otsuu:** Jack, you in here?
* **Jack:** Otsuu? Hang on.
* **Otsuu:** Hey...
* **Jack:** Didn't expect to see you. Make yourself comfortable.
* **Otsuu:** Right.
* **Jack:** So what's up?
* **Otsuu:** ...
* **Jack:** Um. Uh...
* **Otsuu:** ...
* **Jack:** ... (She sure is taking her time. Didn't she want to tell me something...?)
* **Otsuu:** \*sigh\* ...
* **Jack:** (Oh, I see. She's gathering her thoughts. I should be patient.)
* **Otsuu:** Sorry for being so quiet. I... So much has happened since we made it to the surface.
* **Jack:** Yeah, you're telling me. You seem upset.
* **Otsuu:** Hahaha. Always so preceptive. I can't hide from you, Jack.
* **Jack:** Well, we go way back. Try me. I'm all ears.
* **Otsuu:** I'm still gathering my thoughts. I feel dread. Or perhaps, melancholy. Helpless, more than anything. I can't shake our encounter with Massacre Pink from my mind. My legs froze. The difference in power was stark. It gnaws at me. I promised to protect my princess, but I failed her.
* **Jack:** I don't think Little Mermaid would approve of you feeling this way.
* **Otsuu:** Probably not. She has such a kind heart. But I can't forgive myself. I feel so useless.
* **Jack:** Sure, but it's not your fault. Massacre Pink are unlike anyone we've faced before. But does that mean we should give up? If you beat yourself up, you let them win.
* **Otsuu:** Jack...
* **Jack:** There's still time. If we're alive, it's not over, right? We'll get stronger. Together!
* **Otsuu:** Right you are, Jack. Now I feel silly. I was letting the negativity cloud my judgement. Thanks Jack. I feel much more at ease. Together, you say. Hopefully the others are safe.
* **Jack:** I'm worried about them too. I can't explain it, but something tells me they're just fine. I bet they're just like us, or maybe it's just wishful thinking.
* **Otsuu:** That makes two of us. I have a feeling. It's not much, but I choose to have faith. If we're both in the same boat, then perhaps we can be each other's keeper.
* **Jack:** When you put it like that, we owe it to ourselves to do so. To tell you the truth, I'm most worried about Red Riding Hood. She was betrayed by her own father...
* **Otsuu:** I can't imagine how much pain she's in. But I have a feeling she'll pull through. She might not be here, but we're with her in spirit. I hope she can feel it. Let's believe in our friends, and soon good things will manifest in kind. But we must do whatever it takes to defeat Massacre Pink when that day comes.
* **Jack:** You said it. With you every step of the way.

### Blood Libido

*(Hallway)*

* **Jack:** (I haven't seen Otsuu since she holed herself up in her tent. Doesn't seem like she's left. She told me not to peek while she works, but I'm dying to know.) Hey Otsuu, how you doing in there? Feeling okay? You haven't fainted, have you? (No response. I hear some commotion in there.) Hey, what've you been up to? I'm coming in if you don't answer. Whatever. I'm going in. Otsuu, here I come.

*(Otsuu's Room)*

* **Jack:** Oh, she's sewing. Look at her go! That's what she's been doing?!
* **Otsuu:** Oh, Jack! When did you...!
* **Jack:** Sorry for barging in. I called you, but it doesn't sound like you heard me.
* **Otsuu:** Hold on just a moment. Don't look in here. I'll put it all away!
* **Jack:** Sorry. I know you wanted it to be a surprise, but I see everything. Were you tailoring something?
* **Otsuu:** Agh. Can't be helped if you saw already. Yes, I was making an outfit.
* **Jack:** What gives...? I didn't know you could sew.
* **Otsuu:** Well, I am a prince after all. Altering clothing is nothing to a prince.
* **Jack:** (How are those things related...?)
* **Otsuu:** Truthfully, I damaged my outfit the other day. Then Charlotte swiftly patched me up.
* **Jack:** Wow. Impressive on her part.
* **Otsuu:** I felt like I owed her in some way, so I hoped to repay her with a new outfit. Something that suits her. Long ago, I found that gifting people outfits is a great way to show appreciation. If possible, I prefer to work from scratch. Even when it comes to weaving. It's a hobby of mine.
* **Jack:** (Weaving? Is this a Blood Libido thing?)
* **Otsuu:** But try as I might, I can only do so much without materials. I had to make do with hair accessories before. Take this hairpin, for instance. Well-made, don't you think? Making a whole outfit is the true goal.
* **Jack:** Wow, incredible! That's so neat! I bet Charlotte's gonna love it.
* **Otsuu:** You think...? Hehe.

*(Enter Little Mermaid)*

* **Little Mermaid:** Otsuu? Hang on.
* **Otsuu:** My princess! What's the matter?
* **Little Mermaid:** I heard some lively voices coming from this tent, so I poked my head in. What are you up to?
* **Jack:** Well...
* **Little Mermaid:** Hey Otsuu, what's that? In your hands!
* **Otsuu:** Oh. Just a hairpin I made...
* **Little Mermaid:** That's SOOOOOO cute!
* **Otsuu:** Princess, this is the culmination of my love. Fashioned by my own hands with thoughts of you. Would you accept this token...?
* **Jack:** (Fashioned with thoughts of her? Didn't she say it was for Charlotte? Typical Otsuu.)
* **Little Mermaid:** Oh, you made this for me? I can really have this?
* **Otsuu:** Of course, my dear. Seeing my trinkets adorn your fine hair makes my heart sing.
* **Little Mermaid:** Wow. You're so romantic. Thanks Otsuu!
* **Otsuu:** Oh, no problem! Ha ha ha!
* **Little Mermaid:** Oh, right. I need to see Miko. Pardon me. See you two around. Thank you for the beautiful hairpin, Otsuu!

*(Exit Little Mermaid)*

* **Jack:** ...Was that okay? Wasn't it for Charlotte?
* **Otsuu:** Hehe. You think I regret that, Jack? I made my beloved princess smile. Nothing can stop me now. There is no greater feeling than bringing her joy. Now I have the motivation to make one hundred hairpins for Charlotte.
* **Jack:** Are you that determined...? That was all a ploy to impress Little Mermaid, wasn't it?
* **Otsuu:** Loving someone isn't a crime.
