*THE SINISTER TRUTH ABOUT THE BALLET ACADEMY*
*At first glance, the Ballet Academy that appeared in the City of Shadows seemed fairly ordinary. But behind its doors was a secret that made one's blood run cold. This is a story about a ballerina “dancing with the devil,” her pride, a deal with an evil spirit, and her cruelty, which killed five young dancers. It is this newspaper's duty to reveal the truth and remind the townspeople that no matter how attractive a facade is, no one knows what demons may be hiding inside.*
*(continued on page 4)*

The five ballerinas, whose souls were taken by the Headmistress, were orphans or girls from troubled families, so nobody came looking for them. My duty as a journalist is to tell their story to the world.
 **Player:** | Thank you, Adeline.

We freed the souls of the ballerinas killed by the cruel Headmistress, and the dancing ghosts disappeared from the abandoned halls.
Now I'm calm, knowing that my dear friend Charlotte has found peace.
 **Player:** | You are very kind.

## Conclusion

We returned some of Juliette's memories, learned the dark story of the ballet Academy, and freed the souls of the ballerinas.

But many questions still remain unanswered. What happened to the cruel Headmistress? Why did Juliette lose her memory? And what other important things could she have forgotten?
