### Introduction

My world met its end a long time ago.

The humanity as I knew it has ceased to exist, and disappeared without a single trace.

The gods they believed in have died, and churches were built as their graves.

The chaos turned into order, and it finally became quiet.

All I can do is dream, for I am so, so tired.

Before I abandon the words that form noise in my head, Will you be so kind as to join me in dream-seeing?

### User Logs

*User Log 0005: "The Umbrella Man*

* He appeared out of nowhere when I was a child.
* Whether I was in kindergarten or in the library, with mom or alone in my room, he was always there, watching me with his yellow eyes from the darkest corner of the room, not uttering a single word.
* When I tried to tell mother about him, he lifted a finger to his lips, as if not wanting me to speak. So I didn't.
* In my "Book of Truth", I called him "The Observer".
* As soon as I defined him, the man spoke for the first time.
* "Oh? That name is not bad, I must say," he remarked." However, wouldn't anyone who watches over you become an "observer"?"
* I had to agree.
* "Hmmm. Then, I'll call you the "Umbrella Man"!"
* Slightly taken aback, the man coughed.
* "Ahem. Although I would have preferred a more euphonic name, let it stay this way."
* Since then, I gave every new person I've met in the House a distinctive name.

*User Log 0006: "The Umbrella Man - 2"*

* When mom asked who I was talking to, I didn't tell her about the Umbrella Man.
* Instead, I told a lie.

*User Log 0007: "My Birthday"*

* On the day of my 10th birthday, the door bell rang in the middle of the night. A masked man wearing a tophat and a black suit was standing behind the door.
* "Hello, little Charlotte." he said with a smile of a man who offers children candies.
* "Mother told me not to talk to strangers." I answered in a determined voice.
* He let out a sigh.
* "I am no stranger to you. Human memory is so ephemeral, isn't it."
* "Even if I do know you, you must be a bad guy." I insisted.
* "Me? Bad? Why so?"
* I had to come up with something.
* "That's because...All villains wear tophats."
* "Oh, is that so. What a silly prejudice." the man commented with a small laugh.
* "Don't let this appearance fool you."
* With those words, he took off the mask.
* As I thought, the man was none other than the Umbrella Man himself.
* "Although I'd love to have a chat with you on your significant day of the year, I came for another reason."
* I tilted my head, curious.
* "Listen closely, little one."
* "I came to inform you that a Puppeteer has been assigned to you since you've reached the age of ten."
* "Who's that?"
* "They are a representative of the True Realm, designed specifically to watch over your troublesome species. The one assigned to you is a Seth type Puppeteer."
* "As for their purpose, they are here to guide you, the Puppets, throughout your short lives."
* "Why would they do that?"
* "You see, little one, free will is fiction."
* "Mm-hmm." I chewed on my words, trying to come up with a smart reply.
* "Ah, this choice of words must have been too difficult for a child. Let's say it in other way."
* "Meet your new friend who will watch over you. Their name is Seth."
* "Don't bully them too much, okay?"

### Charlotte's Room

* This is my room.
* Quite modern, don't you think?
* Let's go to the dining room. I'm hungry

*Interacting with the bed*

* I don't want to sleep yet.

*Interacting with the drawers*

* Band aids, scalpels, notes, teabags...Everything is such a mess.

*Entering her room (with Felix)*

* Well, big sis is going to sleep. How about you?
* Sounds like a plan! I suppose I don’t have to accompany you to the bathroom?
* Good night!

*Going to sleep*

* Well, I'm off to bed.
* Good night Seth.

*Hiding under the bed sheets (magcat)*

* Oh! Hey, magcat. You've scared my Puppeteer here a little.
* One day, my cat turned into a maggot. Or was he a maggot all along that turned into a cat?
* Good, good cat.

*Don't hide, (magcat)*

* Oh, it's just my maggot cat.
* One day, my cat turned into a maggot. Or was he a maggot all along that turned into a cat?
* Good, good cat.

*Waking up*

* What was that sound?..
* Felix promised to come back soon, too… Did he get lost in the house?
* How about we go look for him?

*Consider taking pepper spray*

* A flamethrower would be more effective, don't you think?

### Dining Room

*Interact with note*

* This note is 8 months old.
* My parents work on holidays.

*Interact with top right drawer*

* Not even our dining room drawers have anything edible.

*Interact with the stove*

* The last time I’ve tried to cook something, the world was (almost) destroyed by the food monster.
* I wish Bennett didn’t put his chemicals on the shelves along with sugar and salt.

*Using the Lucky Meal on Charlotte*

* …Um, guys? Do I get to say a word in this?
* Aliens don’t really have a concept of personal space, do they.
* By the way, Mr Aiden, the door to the ground floor corridor doesn’t open.
* Aiden pinches Bennett.
* Bennett leaves.
* Aiden and Huxley leave, too.

*Interacting with the stove (with Felix)*

* Ah, sorry, cooking is no good. I’m afraid I’ll blow up the kitchen this time
* How about cottage cheese casserole?
* ...

### TV Room

*Watching TV*

* That's enough TV for today.
* Yep, I have better things to do.

*Interacting with Bennett (with Felix)*

* Hi, Bennett.
* Let's leave him until he's ready to return to the harsh reality, shall we?

### Corridor

*Interacting with the bottom left door*

* ...It wasn't locked yesterday.

### Library

*Using the phone*

* Um, I’d like to order Eco-friendly Chicken Nuggets and an Insta-Diabetes Soda, please.
* I shouldn’t be so nervous when talking to a machine.

*Using the phone again*

* I don't need to call anywhere right now.

*Door after Charlotte enters "please" code once*

* Four, of course

*Interacting with various bookshelves*

* These are Bennett's shelves. They just scream "DANGER". And geek.
* Aiden’s bookshelf. I find it cute.
* The shelves are full of literature in alien language. I can’t read the titles.
* This is mother’s shelf. She loves romance books.
* My humble bookshelf.

*Interacting with various bookshelfs with Felix*

* Speaking of manliness, why does Huxley wear bunny ears? He's been doing this for the whole week.
* Well, at least he's trying his best.
* What do these say?
* These titles are surprisingly tame compared to the others.
* Hush! They... can't be that bad, right?
* I'm sorry I made you go through this.
* Why'd you need it?
* Thanks! Can you recommend me some literature you like?

### Attic

*Someone's knocking on the door*

* A strange chirping noise is heard from behind. Want me to open it?

*Opening the door*

* There's a giant cockroach behind it.
* Okie-dokie.
* (Gotta make my signature beautiful...)
* Nailed it!

*Not opening the door*

* I'll wait until they leave.
* The sounds are gone now. It should be safe.

*Grabbing the meal*

* I'd better return to the dining room.

### Room leading to Aiden's Room

*Top middle door*

* No need to go outside right now.

*Interacting with the box*

* Open the box?

*Choosing not to open the box*

* Yep. This seems fishy, although I'm still curious.

### Tailoring Room

* Hi, Mr Aiden. Being a busybody as always?
* I'd love to!
* Woah! It’s totally rad!

*Interacting with Aiden again*

* Aiden is absorbed in the process. Let's not hinder him.

### Dissection Room

*Interacting with Huxley*

* Huxley is busy dissecting a corpse. Presumably, it was human once.
* Hi, Dr Huxley!
* (Aren't you quite passionate for your own good yourself?)
* Okay, I'll help!
* (There he goes again...)
* It’s nice to meet you, Felix. I’m Charlotte.
* Whoa… I can almost feel his glare making burns on my skin.
* This is going to be a long day…

*Interacting with various bookshelves (with Felix)*

* Oh. Finally some books I've read.
* I'm not sure about the usefulness of the second book...
* Are human diseases deadly to you?

### Chemical Lab

*Entering the room*

* So that's where Bennett's crew works?

*Interacting with Florence*

* Hello, Florence. What's up?
* Okie dokie.

*Tongue Tearer, NO*

* *to be gathered later*

*Tongue Tearer, Put it back*

* Right. Should've known.

### Test Lab

*Meat pile*

* What's this squishy?

*Note near entry door*

* Spooky!

*Door puzzle*

* Wow! Is it for real?

### Outside of Attic

*Interacting with door with Puppeteer symbol*

* I wonder where this door leads to.

*Entering the space room*

* Woah! We're in outer space!
* Yup!

*Taking the Nebula Ownership*

* Wow!
* I hereby proclaim myself the Empress of the Helix Nebula. How does that sound?

### ??? Room

*After entering and finding the Bear Channel*

* Felix couldn’t have gone here, could he?
* What is this place?.. I don’t remember our house having a direct passage to a princess castle.
* It’s too dark to see anything.

*Interacting with various shelves*

* I wonder why are there bear toys everywhere...
* The toys are kinda cute.
* Now this is creepy.
* Just a yellow teddy bear. Nothing scary at all.
* ...Is it my imagination or its eyes moved?

*Pulling the rope*

* Hm?.. It didn't do anything.

*Entering right door's hole after pulling rope*

* I don't hear the sounds anymore.
* Let's enter?

### Bunny Freya Area

*Talking to Bunny Freya*

* Um, I’m very sorry! Can I help you somehow? Are you lost?
* (That hurt!)

*Taking a Rabbit Toy*

* Hush! It's cute.

*Giving Bunny Freya the Rabbit Toy*

* Want me to give it to you?
* Sure! Here you go.
* (I'll take that as a compliment... I guess.)
* I’m looking for a little boy. He must have lost his way in this place, too. Have you seen him by any chance?
* I see. You must be very lonely.

### Branching Bear Area

*Interacting with a bear*

* These aren't alive, are they...

*Interacting with the Bear Room door*

* I hope there aren't any actual bears out there...

*Interacting with a locked door*

* The door is closed.

### Cat Room

*Drinking the cup*

* I feel dizzy...

*Interacting with the cup again*

* I've drank from the cup already.

*Going into the fireplace*

* The fire embraces me.

### Bear Room

*Interacting with the flower*

* White flowers are my favorite.

*Interacting with the book*

* OH! They have the 25th Edition of Sci-Fi Almanac! Can we take it? Please?

*It's too heavy option*

* Tsk.
* Can't you carry it?
* All you can do is order me around, ri-i-ight.

*We didn't come here for treasure hunting option*

* You're so boring!

*You can take it p[topm*

* High-five for a fellow nerd!

*The door is locked, throwing the book at the bear*

* Can't we use something?
* Phew, it worked.
* Never underestimate the power of words.

### FairyTale Room

*Entering porridge room*

* Not this again...
* The default clock sound! Who even uses that anymore?
* Please, let's leave this horrible place as soon as we find Felix.

*Interacting with various bowls of porridge*

* The porridge is too hot! My tongue burns.
* Yep, I'd better not. My stomach is still going butterflies after that tea blend in the Cat Room.
* The porridge is too cold. Ew.
* Thanks. There's no way I'm eating this.
* The porridge was delicious! I wish there was more of it.
* Right. Don't make me eat anything in sight, will you?

*Interacting with various chairs*

* ...It's too hard.
* I can sit on the floor if I'm tired.
* Oops, it broke. Have I gained weight lately?
* Right.
* ...It's too soft. Not comfy at all.
* Wouldn't want to accidentally break this chair.
* Tableware, some herbs...boring.

*Interacting with various beds*

* It's too high at the foot for me.
* It's not the time to be resting. I need to find Felix first. He's all alone out there.

*How did the Three Bears story end? Choosing incorrectly*

* No. She left through the window! But we're not in a fairy tale.

*How did the Three Bears story end? [Left through the window]*

* Yes! But we're not in a fairy tale.

*Choosing not to touch anything*

* Now we have to look for an exit.
* ...

### Mirror Room

*Looking in the Mirror (no eyes)*

* Woah, this feels photoshopped.

*Entering the secret room*

* There's nothing in here.
* Or is there?

*Choosing the Torture Room*

* ...This day can't get any worse, right?

### Torture Room

* ...Oh. So by torture room they didn't mean that I'd be tortured there.
* This room doesn't look any different from others, though.

### TV Hall

*Seth can no longer save everywhere*

* Wow.
* What's wrong, Seth?
* Does that mean that I can do what I want?
* Well, that's too bad.

*TV leading to Silent Film Channel*

* Seems like we can go in.

### Library

*Finding Felix*

* Felix?!

*Choosing to hug him*

* I found you!
* Don't worry, big sis is here to help!

*Choosing to headpoke him*

* Your punishment for running off. I thought I'd never find you!

*Dialogue after choice*

* Small talk aside, how did you get there?
* There's no way I'm buying that.
* Anyhow, we need a plan! I'm not going to sit around and wait until bears use us for crappy taxidermy.
* Weren't you captured by them, too?
* Only books. Seth is against violence.
* Fine, fine, I get it. Sorry for being a burden.
* Still, what are you really doing here?
* An Oracle? What's that?
* They sound like fun.

*Interacting with drone*

* What's this?
* Aw.

*Interacting with doorknob-less door*

* This door is missing a door knob.

*Trying to go back*

* No going back.

*Putting on the Azure Ribbon*

* How is it azure if it's still gray?

*What's the derivative?*

* That's just unfair!

*Getting lost in the Hall of Ignorance*

* How did we end up here?

*Putting the doorknob in the door*

* It fits!
* Open the door?

*The final door*

* I didn't memorize it that well, sorry.
* !
* His head...gone...
* This.. can't be...
* Can't we do something?
* !
* Who are you?
* ...
* How could you!
* I promised to look after him..yet...
* What do you suggest me to do, then?
* How would that help me?
* Why should I trust you?
* ...right. Goodbye, then.

*Interacting with the Felix corpse*

* > Charlotte averts her eyes.

### Silent Film Channel, Changed

*Interacting with the doorknob-less door*

* The door knob must be around here.

*Interacting with the code door before finding Felix*

* I need to look around more before going in there.

*Finding Felix*

* ...Felix?
* Is it... really you?
* Is that so.

*Choosing to smile*

* You must be imagining it

*Choosing to hug him*

* I'm just glad you're safe and sound.
* I pinch Felix's cheek.
* It's my duty to look after you, dummy! Don't underestimate me and my amazing caretaker skills.
* You came here for a reason, right? I won't scold you.
* Just...stay safe.
* You're imagining things.
* Take my hand so that we won't get separated, okay?
* No objections allowed!, as Seth likes to say.

*Talking to Frei*

* It's you!
* Thanks for the earlier... it really did work. The "Switching the channel" thing.
* You don't remember me?
* Ah, I'm really sorry, I must've mistaken you for someone I knew.
* I'm very sorry.
* Rather than a book, is there a safe exit?
* Uh...Is that so.
* Ah...I was just curious why it's so empty in this library.
* Why would they do that?
* (Isn't that too short for a time period?)
* What will you do if they find you?
* (Why am I not surprised?)
* Your name...can I ask your name?
* How should I call you, then?
* Frei it is, then! You can call me Charlotte.

*Answering the puzzle door*

* Don't worry, I think I know the answer.

*Doorknob box*

* Let's lift it instead.

*Fitting the doorknob*

* It fits!

*At the final door*

* No! Don't touch it!
* We've... been there once.
* I switched the channel and--
* I don't think I quite understand myself.
* After doing that, I came back to exact same place, but some things changed.
* Like...you are still alive.
* Your head got cut off.
* I'll go first. Seth can rewind if I die before my expiration date.
* Besides, I can't afford losing you again.
* It's the only way out.

### Surreal Channel

*Interacting with the red eye door without any items*

* This door is glaring at me.

*Giving the Fancy Brooch to the Violet Flower Lady*

* I hand the item to the flower lady.
* I attach the brooch to my ribbon. It emits a faint light.

*Interacting with the red eye door with the Shiny Brooch*

* Cross your heart and hope to die, Stick a needle in the eye~

*Seth says no*

* Do you have a better idea?

*Interacting with Ms. Poppy with the Shiny Brooch*

* Uh...
* We can't refuse helping her, can we?

*Mind your own business*

* Sorry, we have to go.

*Interacting with the red eye door before delivering Ms Poppy*

* We have to escort the lady first.

*Returning Ms. Poppy to the Flower Room*

* The flower lady blows us kisses.

*Using the Eye Drops on the red eye door*

* All right!
* All thanks to Seth!

*Incinerator Room, either option*

* (Just kidding.)
* I doubt there would be volunteers.

### Maze Button

*Learning about the button*

* ...Seems like the passage opens when something heavy is standing on the block.
* That's right.

*Choosing the Choose who stays. option.*

* Hmmm...

*Choosing the You shouldn't get separated. option.*

* We can look for another way out.
* Seems like someone still has to go look what's ahead.

*Choosing the Charlotte stays option.*

* I'll wait here. Maybe you'll find a way out.
* You're not going alone, of course! My Puppeteer will go with you to ensure your well-being. Right?

*Choosing either the Excuse me, what? or the No way. option.*

* Hush. Just believe me, okay? I'll be fine.

*Choosing the I cannot leave my duty. option.*

* Felix needs you more than I do!
* Please, just this once!

*Choosing the Do you know it's ridiculous? option.*

* I do.
* But you're my friend, so I believe in you. That you'll come back and rescue me when I need you the most.

*Choosing the I can't. My raison d'etre is to watch over you. option.*

* I thought real friends help each other in need.
* Yeah, right. I'm sorry for thinking that way.
* I'll go by myself, then. You stay here, Felix.
* It's too dangerous for you to go alone.
* Wrong. For me, it's different.
* I can get killed, crushed, gutted, burned, squeezed and be revived again and again.
* Once you die, nothing can be done.
* Will do.

*Choosing the I believe you. option.*

* You're the best!
* My Puppeteer, of course.
* Don't sorry, it's a friend.
* I'll be waiting!
* Will do.

*Choosing the I'm sorry. option.*

* I thought we were friends.
* I should've known you'd say that. Well,, it's not like I've ever had any friends to begin with.
* I'll go by myself, then. You stay here, Felix.
* Wrong. For me, it's different.
* I can get killed, crushed, gutted, burned, squeezed and be revived again and again.
* Once you die, nothing can be done.
* Will do.

*Choosing the Felix stays option.*

* You stay here and wait. I'll find a way.
* Well, I'm never on my own.
* If something happens to me, at least you'll have a chance to escape.
* Will do.
* (Though I'm afraid Seth will make me throw them out on the first opportunity.)
* I'll be back soon.
* See you later!

### Maze Branches

***Charlotte stays***

*Talking with C*

* I'm waiting for my friends to come back to my side.
* That'd be bad.
* Seth will get fired if I die without him by my side.
* I don't want to cause anyone trouble.
* But Felix... will he be okay?
* ...
* Got it.
* It's the only way to save him, right?
* I'm too weak to do anything alone.

*Possessed*

* Aah... the human body is such a fragile thing.
* I can't just apologize if I accidentally break it, can I?
* ...Well then, what do we have here?
* Hmm~ All this junk is no good.
* Scissors? Not bad, but not the best option either.
* Such a shame I'll get this pretty dress dirty.
* ... That's right. Let's play a game.
* Boredom's the worst, isn't it?
* Ha, ha.
* Open your eyes, here come the scissors!

*After killing White Freya*

* ...?
* Who is this person...? What was I...?
* I just... have to switch the channel to make everything alright?
* Right?
* Hey...
* Don't make me a murderer...

***Felix stays***

*After interacting with the doors in the Space of Absurdity*

* I feel like I'm wasting time here.
* I wonder if Felix is all right. We left him all alone.

*I'm worried too option*

* As expected from Seth the Worrywart.
* Let's hurry back to his side!

*Don't worry option*

* I hope so.
* Let's go back.
* You're cheering me up again, huh. I know this isn't part of your job, but you do this nevertheless.
* Thank you, Seth.

*Where's Felix?*

* Felix isn't here.

*Finding Felix in White Freya's Room*

* !
* I was too late.
* ...
* What about Felix?
* Over my dead body.
* What are you saying?
* ...Ah. I get it.
* We just have to switch the channel to make everything right!

*Charlotte realizes there's nowhere to hide*

* There's no place to hide.
* !
* I don't want to be gutted alive.
* Please... please kill me before she does, Seth. I'm begging you.

*No way option*

* Then, I'll do it myself.

*Are you out of your mind?*

* Can't you see? It's a "bad end" for me. Unless you rewind time, I'm dead one way or another.
* I still have the scissors Felix gave me. You know what to do, right?

***After Afternoon Tea Time***
*Interacting with the button*

* Somehow I feel like I've been here before.
* That might be dangerous.

*Choosing Felix stays*

* I feel like something bad will happen if you stay.
* You're not going. Period.

*Choosing Charlotte stays*

* I'll wait here.
* You're not going alone, of course! My Puppeteer will go with you to ensure your well-being. Right?
* I knew you'd understand!
* Will do.
* See you later!

### Incinerator Rooom

*After Charlotte burns White Freya*

* Felix! Seth! Here you are!
* Good thing you're safe and sound.
* Ah, the blood isn't mine.
* While you were away, I figured I'd stuff the meat chunks we saw earlier in here.
* Yeah. Sorry for worrying you.
* Well, sorry about that!
* Wait.
* You were WORRIED about me? That's something new.
* Well...
* Thank you for trusting me, Seth.
* You are truly my friend.
* Yeah, yeah, I got it. Then, you're the best Puppeteer ever!
* Let's go, everyone.

*The door is open*

* ...
* It's nothing.
* Right.

### TV Hall

*Asking Felix a question*

* Hey, Felix.
* Can you tell me more about what we're looking for?
* I know I'm not as smart as you, but I'll try to understand.
* ...So "human"?
* Perhaps something bad happened.

### Slaughterland

*Interacting with various corpses*

* Poor thing.
* They all look the same.
* There are so many of them...
* I wonder what happened here.
* Maybe she's just sleeping?
* They all have the same faces.

### Slaughterhouse 1

*Interacting with the Bone Saw*

* Cool.

*We're not taking that*

* A weapon would come in handy, though.

*Not when you don't know how to use it. option.*

* Well, you do have a point. I have the worst marks in gym class.

*Kids these days... option.*

* I can almost hear you sighing from the other side of the control console.

### Slaughterhouse 3

*Enterint the Room*

* There's no one in these rooms. Only the corpses.

### Slaughterhouse 4

*Putting on the Executioners Mask*

* Rather menacing.

### Slaughterhouse 5

*Mural room*

* ...She's beautiful.

*Going into the Pythia Room*

* I hope it's not Executioners.

*Talking to the Oracle*

* She's still alive!
* Um, I'm very sorry, but we won't harm you in any way.
* We take off our masks.
* The girl extends her weak hands to my face.
* Uh, am I missing something?
* I-it's a honour to meet you!
* ...
* What about this girl?
* (But there are only corpses...)
* Right.
* Will we meet again?
* I hope it's not Executioners.
* She's still alive!
* Um, I'm very sorry, but we won't harm you in any way.
* Uh, am I missing something?
* I-it's a honour to meet you!
* ...
* What about this girl?
* (But there are only corpses...)
* Right.
* Will we meet again?

### TV Hall (Last Channel)

*Interacting with the final TV*

* Somehow I have a feeling it'll be the last channel we visit.
* Well then, let's go.
* For what?
* ...

*Choosing to Scold him.*

* You're thinking too much, you dummy!

*Choosing to Hug him.*

* It's okay. Please stop blaming yourself.
* Isn't everything in our life pretty much meaningless?
* We're so tiny, aren't we? Like worms or maggots, even.
* Yet, we consider ourselves important and do everything to benefit ourselves.
* Isn't that what's laughable?
* Besides, I like going on adventures with you.
* For me, it's like being with a friend.
* If...if you say so!

### Final Channel

*The Oracle speaks*

* !
* ...
* If I may ask, what happened to this world?
* ...
* That would be troubling... We absolutely have to return home by tomorrow's morning.

*Charlotte accepts*

* ...What do I have to do?
* Well, there is no other way we can leave. Didn't you hear the Oracle?
* Even though I don't want to cause trouble for anyone, in the end, I'm quite a troublesome person, aren't I?
* I put my hands on the screen.
* The Oracle... no, the God of this world puts their palms to match mine on the other side of the screen.
* I can only vaguely remember what happened next.
* I accepted the God into my heart, and we walked home hand-in-hand.
* Everything that I was became her, and everything she was became a part of me.
* Together, we said goodnight to the dying world.
* All the life, the planets, the stars, the black holes, even atoms have ceased to exist!
* One by one, the channels switched off.

### TV Room

*Talking to the Umbrella Man*

* The Oracle used my body as a vessel and used up all the remaining power she had to bring us home.
* Thanks to that we were able to make it back home safely.
* While we were away, not a second passed in our world.
* Well, who would have known.
* ...Do you always have to wear this creepy mask when you see me?
* I know you're using father's body as a container to talk to me anyway.
* Yup. Much better. Your eyes have such a pretty color!
* Say, Umbrella Man...
* Do you happen to know the person I met in the TV world?
* Well...that's because...
* I committed an unimaginable sin, yet, I only vaguely remember it. As if I watched it from the side.
* You're talking as if we're in a video game!
* As you say.
* But why would you do that?
* We both know I'm not like that, sir!
* Probably she was too weakened to do that much damage to my body.
* She's still sleeping. I wish we had talked more.
* Even after seeing her memories, I still don't know much about her.
* The Oracles...what exactly are they, really?
* Aren't you talking to me right now?
* Thanks for finding an hour to spend with me. Good night, mr Umbrella Man.

*Trying to leave without taking the Pills*

* Gotta take the pills first.

### Going Around the House with Pills

*Interacting with the scissors*

* I wasn't meaning to, silly!

*Wandering around*

* I'm too sleepy to wander around. Let's sleep, Seeth.

### Charlotte's Room

*Going to sleep*

* Hi, Magcat.
* I wonder if I'll see space fish in my dreams.
* ...
* Good night, Felix.
* Good night, Umbrella Man and Oracle.
* Good night, guardian angel who watches over me.

## HC2

### Introduction

Inside a dream, I laugh, and the world laughs with me.

Inside a dream, I forget, and the world forgets with me.

Inside a dream, I am the world.

Hello, world!

Hello, Charlotte!

As the seasons die one by one, The slumbering god's heavy eyelids open once again.

A choir of voices echoes In a fog-filled box of a mind.

...I must be dreaming.

Since the Oracle became a part of me, my dreams always take place in here.

A pitch-black land where time does not exist.

For these three years I've slept next to them in deafening silence.

This time...it's different.

The Oracle is awake.

Good morning, Seth.

Today, we will get up, go to School, and go back to sleep again.

Please take care of me.

### Charlotte's Room

*Waking up*

* \*cough\* \*cough\*
* Is it morning already...?
* Just a few more minutes...
* ...Right. You must be hungry.
* Just wait a bit.
* \*cough\* \*cough\*
* Ugh...
* ...It's not blood.
* Weird.
* It's nothing. Don't worry.
* We still have a bit of time before school, Seth. Let's feed Magcat and greet everyone on our way.

*Finding the drawing in the nightstand*

* I don't feel sleepy just yet.
* It's a drawing of me and Anri.
* Seth! Don't tell me you don't remember.
* It's my friend Henrietta.
* She always tells me to call her Anri, though.
* She drew this picture for my birthday.
* So nice of her, isn't it?

### Felix's Lab

*Talking to Felix*

* Complimenting me this early in the morning?
* (So cold...)
* By the way, wasn't there a kitchen before?

*Interacting with the plant*

* Felix got this plant for his birthday.
* He seems to like it more than any being in existence.
* It's called Venus Flytrap, Venus for short.

### TV Room

*Watching TV*

* Just a quick look, then. We have to hurry.

*Not switching the channel*

* Let's go.

*Not watching*

* Exactly.

### Bathroom

*Interactingg with the cabinet*

* There's only a monthly supply of liquid soap inside.

*Taking the maximum amount of soap bottles*

* Seth. I think there's a limit to the soap bottles we can take. Don't be greedy.

*Interacting with the bathtub*

* It's better not to touch it.

### Charlotte's Room

*Putting soap bottle into Omnicube*

* The next moment I know, I'm being devoured by lumps of meat.
* And I think to myself...
* It all started with a bottle of soap.

### Kitchen

*Interacting with the oven*

* Aiden says that he burns mischievous children in it on Christmas.

*Feeding the Magcat*

* That's a good cat.

### Library

*Interacting with the various plants*

* Plants rarely live longer than a year at our house. It's kind of sad to throw them out.
* Mom bought plants to liven up the room, but hardly anyone looks after them.
* This one doesn't like company.

*Interacting with the papers on the table*

* It's Huxley's handwriting.

*Deciding not to read them*

* Alright. Privacy is important.

*Interactign with the phone*

* This phone's been broken for a while.

*Interacting with various bookshelves*

* Huxley moved most of his books to the basement. Now it's mostly magazines on this shelf.
* Mother's shelf is growing bigger, isn't it?
* I didn't know it was possible, but somehow these romance book titles have changed for the worse.

### Attic

*Interacting with Bennett*

* (In high spirits, like usual.)
* Good morning, Bennett.
* Mind explaining why my bathtub is filled with acid? Just asking.
* Nah. Let's leave the scolding to Aiden.
* A neat freak's fury can drag even Bennett out of extreme procrastination.

### Dissection Room

*Interacting with the User Log after reading it once*

* ...?
* This Screen doesn't work anymore.

*Interacting with Huxley*

* Dr Huxley!
* Pfft.
* Some things just don't change, do they?
* Dr Huxley.
* How is...he doing?
* Since my health started getting worse, we haven't spoken much.
* It's as if he's avoiding me.
* A-ahh, sorry, I was thinking out loud!
* Thank you, dr Huxley. I appreciate the sentiment, but you really don't have to.

*Interacting with Huxley again*

* Huxley's busy. Let's not hinder him.
* If we need anything, we can ask Felix. Even if he kills us for it.

### Hallway

*Interacting with the Puppeteer Door*

* Doors with a Puppeteer symbol open only to those with an X in their names, Seth.
* But Huxley reprogrammed this one to let his crew workers through.
* So Florence or the others might be here.

### Aiden's Room

*Interacting with Aiden*

* Good morning, Aiden!
* Of course not!

*Interacting with Aiden again*

* I'll come back later.

### Felix's Lab

*Interacting with Felix after talking to Huxley and gaining Anxiety Pills*

* There's a door that won't open for me.
* There's no X in Charlotte.
* He's busy.
* Yay!

## Ep 3

### HAPPY E&%NdD: Chihdj78UJlhood's E8&nd

*Being taken out of her Soul Cube*

* ...Frei?
* Where to?
* Stargazing is a lie, Frei.
* Just like everything Umbrella Man said.
* ...Promise.
* ...
* Lead the way.

### True Ending: Goodbye, Charlotte

* He-he. Long time no see, Seth.
* Don't worry. I haven't forgotten about you.
* The god of this world made sure I wouldn't.
* Um.
* A lot of things happened, but...
* I'm okay now. Really.
* In fact, I'm really happy!
* Somehow, in the end, everything worked out.
* I'm at peace with myself.
* I hope that you are okay, too.
* I always thought you didn't have any responsibilities other than looking after me, but I was wrong, right?
* If there's something that's troubling you right now, or you don't think that you can go on anymore...
* Please remember that a new day will come.
* ...I'm sorry I couldn't stay with you a little longer.
* It's time for me to move on.
* That's why...
* Thank you.
* Thank you for taking care of me.
* Let's meet again someday.

### Introduction

*Please note that it is Umbrella Man saying these things through Charlotte's body*

* Hello there!
* I'm CHARLOTTE! Please take care of me!
* ...
* Hahaha!
* You didn't fall for that, did you?
* "Mister Seth". Or should I say...mr Anonymous?
* Pfft!
* Hahaha!
* Goodness gracious, this is too fun.
* In this world, you can't even tell me apart from the girl herself...too bad, huh?
* Let's call this place an alternative universe.
* It's not even related to the main storyline in any way.
* Here, there's no such thing as "Seth".
* You see, the thought of a kind, understanding parent figure never occurred to the Charlotte of this timeline.
* Ironically, she still keeps talking to herself all the time.
* Come now, let's see what a world without you looks like!
* Aren't you excited?

### Starting Narration

Hello, world!
I live in the House.

For me, the House is the World.
In the House, we can't speak of the House's tenants.

In the House, we can't touch the Screens.

In the House, we can't disturb our neighbours.

But above all that, we can't leave the House.

It's the unspoken Absolute Rule.

To be honest, I couldn't care less about those rules anyway.

With the Oracle's power, all I have to do is to eat all the things that stand in my way!

### In Charlotte's Room

* I wake up feeling *perfectly fine.*
* Good morning, magcat! You must be hungry.
* What do I feed you, I wonder...
* Ah, I know! I've had some **cockroaches stored in the fridge.**

*Interacting with the nightstand*

* Rabbits are my favorite toys.

*Interacting with the green teddy bear*

* Green color is my least favorite.
* Why is it near my bed, I wonder?

*Interacting with the stuffed rabbit*

* I've lost count of the times it had to be sewn back together. Poor little Peter Rabbit.
* I just don't know when to stop, do I?

* Yellow is my favorite color!!
* It reminds me of Umbrella Man!

*Interacting with the sixth shelf*

### Kitchen

* Why is the Cereal Killer in the fridge again? It remains a mystery.

*Interacting with the oven*

* The last time I used the oven...well... It's better not to talk about it.

*Interacting with the sink*

* A kitchen sink and a trash bin beneath it.

*Interacting with the cabinets.*

* Ah. it's time for the Obligatory TV Watching Session.

### Obligatory TV Watching Session

*Interacting with the remote*

* Strange.

*After interacting with the remote*

* Hm...I think I've heard footsteps.
* But fear not, I'm not going there unarmed.

* **No one can guess where I've hidden them.**

### Exploring the House

*Interacting with hallway door (while searching for scissors)*

### REDRUM (after obtaining the locker key)

*Interact with the caged Pythias*

* *There are Pythias on the floor. They're whimpering and mumbling incoherent words.*
* When I ate the Oracle, I took some Pythias home with me.

* They're barely conscious.
* Oops, did I say all that aloud?
* *Someone enters the REDRUM.*
* !

### Unnamed Room (after obtaining the locker key)

*Interact with the third shelf*

* It fits!

### Library Area

*Interacting with Anri*

* Anri! So it was you!
* *Ever since I killed Anri's brother, she's been the happiest girl in the world!*
* *She lives in the house, too. We're girlfriends!*
* I didn't know you could pick locks.
* Oh. Then, **there's someone in the House.**
* *Anri sees my scissors.*
* Hehe! Didn't I say I'd get these?
* Yup! Let's figure out a way to do that.
* Is something the matter?
* Then, how about a syringe with a sedative?
* *Exactly.*
* Let's go.

### Incineration Room

* Let's **bring her to the basement!**

### Basement

* Bennett! Felix! Come out. I know you're here.
* I brought friends!
* This person right there has been really rude!
* They came to ruin the fun.
* She's in good hands now.
* *We stand here and watch for a good fifteen minutes.*
* You're right. Let's go somewhere more fun.
* Nah, we've been there already!
* Watch this.

### In another world

* I ate miss Intruder, and used her energy to enter an another world!
* But I have no idea where I am.
* Whoops.
* Who am I explaining it to, I wonder? This is becoming a habit.
* Anri? Are you still there?
* ...
* Hm. She must be around.

*In response to receiving binary code from a hole*

* I can't read binary.

### Library Room (other world)

*Interacting with a paper on the floor*

* Bummer. I can't read these.

*Interacting with a book on the floor*

* These are all in binary code.

*Interacting with a second book on the floor*

* The books are soaked in something red and sticky.

*Interacting with the bookshelves*

* I'm not really interested in books.

*Interacting with a device on the wall*

* It's a weird-looking device.

*Interacting with OSIRIS*

* Hi. Have you seen Anri?
* I'm Charlotte.
* Uh...do I?
* Hmm...
* Fair enough.
* Promise me you'll do my homework as well?
* It's a deal, then!
* So? What's the plan?
* And the Core's whereabouts are..?
* So you don't know. That's okay though.
* **I take OSIRIS with me.**
* Geez, you're so heavy for a piece of plastic.

*Interacting with a device on the wall (when OSIRIS is in her party)*

* Hmm...How does it work, I wonder...
* Okies.
* Are there any buttons I need to press?
* Too late.
* No...?
* I guess...

*In response to OSIRIS saying he remembered something*

* Yes?
* ???
* !!!
* Just leave it to me.

### Dark Room

*Entering the room*

* I can't see anything.
* Oh. My mobile phone has one too!

*In response to running into a creature*

* Wait!
* Hmm...
* Seems like it doesn't want to be friends...
* Okie-dokie.

*In response to catching a creature.*

* *I throw OSIRIS at them.*
* Aha!
* Gotcha!
* *Aquired a* ***Dead Body!***

*In response to catching a creature.*

* *I hit the monster with OSIRIS.*
* Aha!
* Gotcha!
* *Aquired a* ***Dead Body!***

*Interacting with the hole in the floor (with all bodies)*

* I drag the bodies to the center.
* Hopefully that's enough.

*Interacting with the door in response to binary code*

* What did it say?
* I just want to find Anri.

### Central Room

*Interacting with the center door*

* It doesn't seem to be working.

*Interacting with the tubes*

* *Dark liquid is oozing from the tubes.*

*Interacting with the right door*

* *It's locked.*

### Left Room

*Interacting with a device on the wall*

* Can you open the doors with this device, OSIRIS?

*If Right Room Door is chosen*

* I'll go with the right one.

*In response to OSIRIS opening the door*

* Yay!

*If Central Room Door is chosen in response to OSIRIS asking which door to open*

* Actually...let's open the Central Room Door instead.

### Central Room

*Interacting with the right door after OSIRIS unlocks it*

* Hmm...I'm pretty sure I heard something hissing behind the door right now.
* Must be my imagination. Or the voices.
* *Open the door?*

*If yes is chosen*

* *...*

### Inside the door

*Interacting with the buttons*

* *I press both buttons!*

### Inside the elevator

* Phew.
* Mm...
* Nah.
* What kind of place is it, OSIRIS?
* Oh. Then maybe it'd be best to end the conversation here-
* (Oh no...it's the tragic backstory time.)
* (He must be thinking we're close now.)

### The Meat World

*Interacting with the elevator door*

* *The elevator doesn't seem to be working.*

*Interacting with a worm*

* *A worm-like thing is growing from the floor.*

*Interacting with an elaborate worm*

* These structures kinda resemble tree branches.

*Interacting with the rubble*

* *Behind the rubble, here seems to be a small passage in the meat wall.*
* ...I can't move these things.

*Interacting with the central meat door*

* *It looks like there's an area behind those meaty things.*
* *I try pulling them apart. The reconnect, forming a stronger flesh wall.*
* ...oh well.

### The Left Meat Room's Hole

*In response to being told to get what's inside the hole*

* Ugh...fine.
* *Stick a hand inside?*

*(If no is chosen)*

* Welp.

*(If yes is chosen)*

* ...
* *...*
* It tickles!
* *My hand is chopped off.*
* *It grows back.*
* ...
* I think I found something.
* *Acquired a Key!*

### The right Meat Room

*Interacting with the machine*

* Is it broken, OSIRIS?

*Interacting with the device on the ground*

* *It might be dangerous to step inside the field.*

*Interacting with the machine (after retrieving a Key)*

* *I insert the key.*
* ...
* Is it working now?

### The Meat World (After inputting the key)

*Interacting with the rubble*

* *Random pieces of junk metal are scattered around.*
* *Pick some up?*

*(If sure is chosen)*

* *Acquired Junk Metal!*

### The right Meat Room (after acquiring Junk Metal)

*Interacting with the machine*

* *I insert and turn the key.*
* ...
* ...is it working?

*In response to being asked what she wants to make*

* Hmm...

*(If a chainsaw is chosen)*

* Let's make a chainsaw!!
* *...*
* *I enter the code.*
* *The chainsaw is ready!*
* ...but I can't even lift it, let alone make it work.
* If it was Bennett, he'd lift it with no effort.
* Let's try it again.

*(If a sandwich is chosen)*

* How about...a sandwich?!
* Fine... I've got it.
* Let's try it again.

*(If a crowbar is chosen)*

* ...a crowbar?
* *I enter the code.*
* *The crowbar is ready!*
* *Acquired* ***Crowbar.***
* Yay!

### The Meat World (After acquiring the crowbar)

*Interacting with the central meat door*

* We can break it open now.

### The Central Meat Room

*Interacting with the tanks*

* *Inside the tanks are humanoid-like creatures.*

*In response to being told the creatures in the tank are lifeless*

* They're just sleeping.
* Another one?
* Why would I do that?
* Will that help me find Anri?
* Fine, then.

*Breaking the glass*

* *Break open the container glass?*

*If yes is chosen*

* *Acquired* ***Test Subject!***
* Wah...you sure are heavy, mister.
* Now, let's drag you back to the machine room...

### The right Meat Room (after acquiring Test Subject)

*Interacting with the machine*

* *The machine is working properly.*

*Interacting with the generator field*

* So?
* *OSIRIS enters the generator field.*
* ...okay.
* *I set the parameters.*
* *...*
* *Successfully generated* ***an android!***
* ...OSIRIS, is that you?
* You have hands now!

### The Meat World (After OSIRIS gains an android form)

*Interacting with the rubble*

* *OSIRIS moves the rubble without effort.*
* You're strong, OSIRIS!

### In another dark room

*In response to OSIRIS saying he feels they are getting close to the core*

* I hope Anri's there, too.

### Elevator

* By the way...
* Why do you want to get to the Core so much?
* Mm...
* So you want to die!
* That wasn't a question.
* You're pretty depressed, aren't you, Osiris?
* Got it, got it.
* I have a feeling we're very close to the end.

### The Core

* Anri! There you are.
* Oh.
* May I ask something?
* How did it become like this?
* ...I see.
* I need to take Anri home.
* Can you let her go?
* Mmhmm.
* Too bad that's not going to happen.
* Sorry.
* I was just distracting you.
* Osiris, are you done yet?
* I've ran out of discussion topics.
* Alright.
* Then, we're leaving.
* *I cut all the wires with the scissors and pull Anri close to me.*
* *She falls into my arms, gutted and breathless.*
* *It's nothing I can't fix.*
* Sorry I couldn't find you sooner, Anri.
* Looks like it's all over.
* Let's go home. This world isn't fun at all.

### Exiting the World of Meat and Machinery

I ate the World of Meat and Machinery like it was nothing.

This world was just another failure, after all.

Using the energy of the world I've consumed, I restore Anri's body.

### Back in Charlotte's room

* Anri!
* You promised you'd do my homework. Or have you forgotten already?
* So there. Enjoy your vacation at the House.

### Epilogue

Thus, we came back home.

 In the end, we always do.

In the house, every day is fun! We go on adventures, have fun, and have even more fun afterwards.

Even if the world gets destroyed and we die over and over...

The fun never ends!

 Because that's the kind of place it is.

## Heaven's Gate

### #12 Interlude: Alone

*Doing homework*

* It's quiet in the Mind Library.
* I'm hunched over a language workbook trying to fill in the blanks, but all the letters come out jumbled.
* I write them over and over again, until the pages are filled with illegible scribbles.
* Frei peeks over my shoulder like nothing's wrong.

*Talking to Frei*

* ...
* It's for a friend.
* Was it so wrong to believe them, Frei?
* ...!
* ...
* Frei runs his finger over a messed up sentence, and stops at the period mark.
* I absentmindedly look at the ruined workbook.
* Still...
* If I don't do as they say, I'll be left all alone.
* This is all I'm good for, anyway.
* Frei leans his head on me, but I have no strength left to shove him away.
