Book 3 Chapter 5

## Verse 1

Some took their own lives.

Some were killed by others.

The girls lost their lives for a variety of reasons

...or did they?

The women lay in a dimly-lit space.

Have we died?

Or is this place...

"Unfortunately, this isn't hell."

"Unfortunately, this isn't heaven, either."

Standing there were two creepy dolls...

 My name is Parrah.

 And I'm Noya.

 Welcome to the Library, the world of stories.

 Welcome to the land of despair.

 Now let's get straight to the killing.

 Let's have some fighting. Some death.

## Verse 2

Am I... delusional?

I... jumped off that building...

what are those two dolls?

## Verse 3

What is this? This place?

Well, if there's an enemy, let's kill him!

Don't worry...

I'll make sure it hurts as much as possible!

## Verse 4

I don't know this place, but...

If you can just put me to sleep, I'll be grateful.

But if you can't...

I won't let you disturb my slumber.

## Verse 5

Haha!

These guys are such weaklings, eh?

There's nothing more fun than tormenting weaklings to death.

## Verse 6

Hmmm...? I thought I had built a time machine...

what is this place?

Where am I?

Did I transcend time and space? That's interesting...

I must research this... all of it.

## Verse 7

This is very strange.

I should be dead...

There's even a red mark on my neck where the rope

wrapped around. That aside, where am I?

## Verse 8

I never thought hell would be like this!

So full of misery...!

So full of sadness...!

So wonderful...!!!

## Verse 9

If the monsters attack me now, I'll surely defeat them.

It doesn't matter if I'm dreaming or if this place is real,

I need to set things right.

## Verse 10

*Before*

"It seems you are a little confused."

Softly, the dolls began to speak.

"You aren't really **here**. This world is completely intangible.

A sort of high-level directory which exists with you at all times and yet is completely intangible.

Still, you are the keys to unlocking it."

A string of incomprehensible words. A warning from the dolls.

"If you fail to kill your enemies you will be killed instead, yes?"

 What you are about to see is a world devoid of hope.

 A fantastically fatuous world.

 Isn't it fun to manifest anew?

 With or without hope, isn't it a joy?

 At last, the time has arrived!

 Let the harmony and destruction begin!!

*After*

Parrah and Noya let out a shrill, **piercing** scream.

"Ah! The worlds are **expanding**!"

"Ah! The worlds are **connecting**!"

The girls watched the sky of the the story world called the "Library" split open before their very eyes.

From within that slowly opening crack, a massive stream of blood gushed through like a waterfall.

Amidst the roaring sound and nauseating smell, Parrah and Noya sing and dance in an unsettling spectacle.

Beyond the crack in the sky **something** begins to fade into view.

A familiar landscape.

The **skyscrapers** of Tokyo.

## Epilogue

 The provisional link between worlds is complete.

 This was, is, can be, must be a tribute to your desires.

 The girls prepare to leave the Library, returning to their real world...

 But what fate awaits them there?

 One of delight?

 One of joy?

 And where did the "real" Alice and the others disappear to?

 What happened to their quests to revive their authors?

 No one knows.

 No one knows... Not a single living soul...

 ...Heheh.

 Heehee...
