In the Maze[]

Meeting Charlotte

Hello there.
Isn't it dangerous for a little girl to wander around here all alone?
Is that so.
Well, it's a pity they won't make it back before you meet your death in ten minutes.
Is that all there is to it?
Well, well, aren't you a nice child.
I'm afraid he'll die shortly after.
There is one way to save your friend, however.
The masked man whispers something to Charlotte.
Is that okay?
Even though you disagree with my methods?
The man pets Charlotte's head.
Don't blame yourself for a single thing, child.
Well then...

Possessing Charlotte

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.

Killing White Freya

...That's right. Let's play a game.
Boredom's the worst, isn't it?
Ha, ha.
Open your eyes, here come the scissors!

Day 1[]

Finding C on the street

I have nothing to apologise for.
...!!
..?
Ah. I didn't mean to-

At School.

Haa...
This body is..too fragile...throat hurts...
...
...You're so small. How did you distract them?
...I see.
As I have said, nothing.
They're contaminated. I only commented on that.
More importantly. Wouldn't these people target you?
Eh?
Schoolmate?
...
Is it?
I see. Thank you.

In the classroom

Hello.
There's no name that can define me, but you can refer to me as C.
I am the God of this world.
Do not be afraid. I won't be staying here for long.

Cafeteria

...Oh. Hello.
No, not at all.
Yes, it could've been worse if it wasn't for your intervention.
The nurse patched me up a little. She said I'll recover soon.
Although I still appear to have trouble with verbal communication.
Ah...No wonder you're curious.
That is the only thing I am sure of since m awakening in this form.
In fact, I tried to get rid of this vessel immediately.
But who would've known that a human's preservation instinct was this strong?
I couldn't put a scratch on myself.
I was... afraid of the pain.
Curious, right?
Not only that, I do not know the reason why am I here.
Needless to say, it is not only a great inconvenience, but also a waste of time.
I want to get rid of this body as soon as possible, but there is surveillance everywhere.
Kind of ironic that the rules forbid self-harm, but not violence, isn't it?
That's why I'm looking for the way out.
Say...Do you wish to aid me?
When I return to my heavenly domain, I'll definitely--

Day 2[]

In the school bathroom

C washes his hands and face again and again, frantically pressing the soap dispenser button over and over.
...
I can't. I've washed off most of the soup, but I still feel dirtied.
My fellow students smashed my head into a worm soup.
...yes.
In fact, everything I touch feels contaminated.
I can't just shake off the feeling of disgust.
Char
How about you? You don't look well.
Is that so.

Day 3[]

In the school library

Hello.
Sort of. I'm gathering information on this world.
My memories are incredibly out of order, which is a great inconvenience.
But all I could find were Illustrated Manuals for Express Weight Loss and lists of Ways to become a Billionaire By Clicking Pop-up Ads.
There's also a Collection of Must-Read Classics That Nobody Will Ever Read.
It hardly helped with organization of my mindscape, but was an entertaining read anyway.
...yes, perhaps I should've taken the leaflets they were handing out on my way here.
...Sorry.
I can't accept it, after all.
...
I'm really sorry.
Ah.
That would be kind of you.
There's something I can give you in return.
I want to.
Here.
I write stories, you see.
Perhaps you'll find it interesting.
You can... throw it away after you read it.
Are these for me?
No, it's just...
Thank you. You really needn't have done so much for me.

Interacting with C again

Hmm...doesn't look like this information will ever become useful...

Day 4[]

In the locker room

Oh, so you were here?
As I thought, it was weird that you never appeared after your class.
Surprisingly, all the doors open for me.
...is something wrong?
You're crying.
I must have startled you.
Here.
...You're welcome.
You should go ahead of me. There's something I need to take.

Day 5[]

On the rooftop

As you can see.
Well, I did refuse to take out trash during cleaning duties.
Well...they must be disappointed in me.
That's why they're upset. Furious.
Because I am a mysophobic god stuck in a human body.
How can they worship me if I'm powerless just like them?
Remember, I won't be in this vessel forever.
In fact, I'm looking for a way to get rid of it.
But it's almost impossible in the House, let alone School Grounds.
But I think I finally found a way to go back.
Who knows? Perhaps I'll return to my domain faster than one could imagine.
Everybody does leave, eventually.
Anyhow. Do you feel like joining me for lunch?
You know, I've remembered something today.
A memory of another human vessel I used to have.
It was in a land where half of the mankind ascended and were blessed with a Gift.
The Gifted left their planet and built a city in the skies. it was given a name of Aether.
It was made pure white, and those who lived there all had white hair.
My Gift was to cause cell apoptosis, so everything I've touched directly withered the very next moment.
That was how my mother died.
Right after giving birth, she cradled me in her arms. That was a fatal mistake.
Those with Gifts as dangerous as that were kept in isolation from civilians, myself included.
So the only thing I ever interacted was a virtual parent and a few other devices.
I was afraid to touch living beings.
Sadly, as far as my current memory goes, I cannot remember further details.
Loneliness is a human emotion.
To a god, it's a virtue to experience it.
Well then, I plan on continuing my research.

In the infirmary

How are you feeling?

Choosing "Why are you here?" or "Not so well"

You don't remember? I carried you here.
It's okay.
As I thought, you became targeted because of me.
But don't worry.
I found a way out.
I found a way out of the House.
Trust me. It'll be okay.
There'll be no guards, no classmates, no routine in the Outside World.
No one will lift a hand on you, too.
...
...right, we will.
Well then.
I'm afraid we can't waste any more time.
Let's go.
The elevator goes to -1F if it's activated on this floor.
That's the floor we need to get to.
All the doors open for me, so getting further won't be a problem.
Be careful not to alarm the guards.
The moment they find us it's over.

Outside World[]

Bug Town[]

Entering the Bug Town

Don't worry about it.
Let's look if we can find a shelter here.

Checking the "flea market"

Let's leave.

Interacting with the rightmost building

Wait until they suggest you living food.

Shop of Knowledge

I think we'll pass. Thank you for your time.

Checking the "religion" building

Something's wrong?
Sorry. We don't really need anything.
Thank you for your service.

Leaving the Bug Town

Let's look what's ahead, then.

Gacha Maze[]

Entering the maze

Are you okay?
...I see. It must be a painful memory.
Can you stand?

Talking about Puppeteers

By the way.
How long have you been with Seth?
I see.
I was thinking that your Puppeteer is a little unusual.
You see, as far as I remember, there are 4 types of them.
Adam, Eve, Seth and Lillith.
Adam is incredibly masculine.
Eve is gentle and family-oriented.
Seth is the wisest.
Lillith is the most strict of them all.
Usually, it's either Eve or Lillith who get assigned to girls.
It's a wonder that a male Puppeteer is watching over you.

Cube Room[]

Interacting with the left cube

Fascinating.
Let's see.
"Memorials for Anonymous Leaders, the True Rulers of the World".

Interacting with the right cube

I think they're soul offerings.
Not only does a cube contain soul data, it also represents the ego of a person.

Forest of the Defective[]

Interacting with the pile of meat

They're all failures.
And the victims of the Trial, most likely.
...in a way, they don't.
Haven't you heard?
If your cube gets formatted, you'll become empty.
What'll be left is an empty shell devoid of personality.
A Hollow Human.
You'll become no more than your Puppeteer's mute self-insert.
You'll keep doing quests, opening boxes and running around until you eventually collapse.
Then, you'll be buried here.
As garbage of the society.

Interacting with the left pile of meat

...

Leaving the Forest of the Defective

Let's continue on, shall we?
Is something wrong?
Go back to that place?
So that we would be mixed with dirt again?
The world that's reflected in your eyes must be a wonderful place.
It must be a very kind world full of color.
But it's not the world that I see.
To me, it's a bleak, disgusting place.
Even the air here is unpleasant.
Believe me, this contaminated land isn't a place we belong to.
Isn't it obvious?
I found a way to go back to my initial form.
I took these from the infirmary.
The amount we'll have to intake is rather big, but I've made sure here's enough for two.
You...still don't get it?
Sorry. It must be my bad choice of words.
How do I say this...I--

C's offer[]

C reaches out his hand

I want to take you with me. To my heavenly domain.
We will get rid of our heavy bodies, and rise above all earth dwellers.
We will be the ones to purify this world.
Will you accept, Charlotte Wiltshire?
I want it to be your decision. Not somebody else's.

If Charlotte accepts C

Really? You do?
Thank you.
To be honest, I would've never gathered the courage to do this alone.
This human body and mind of mine are so fragile that they crumble at the slightest worry.
Loneliness is such a human emotion.
Yet, all this time, it's been tearing me apart.
Soon, I'll lose the virtue to be able to experience it.

If Charlotte refuses C

...
I thought that you'd understand.
C's breathing becomes erratic. His knees give in.
It's a panic attack.

Principal's Office[]

C lies

It was my initiative to leave the House, sir.
I forced Charlotte Wiltshire to come with me.
Well of course.
I wanted a breath of fresh air.
It's unfitting for the God of this world to be inhaling such stale air every day.
I ended up dragging miss Wiltshire along with me against her will since she didn't feel well.
I sincerely thought that would help her recover, you see.
...

After leaving the Principal's Office

I only told the truth.
About that...
There's something I'd like to ask of you.
If possible, please, don't vote for me on the Trial.
If a sacrifice has to be made, it must be me.
Please.
It's my only wish.
I don't belong to this world.
It's only natural that it rejects me.
That's why...I ask of you - please don't vote for me.
It's my last chance to leave this world.

White Ending[]

Charlotte.
There's something I want to tell you.
I'm sorry.
I'm not who you think I am.
I lied to you all this time.
About Puppeteers and Observers.
About other worlds.
It's just like everyone said.
I'm a false god.
A loser. A weakling. A coward.
I don't know anything about this world, nor what lies beyond it.
My name is not C. It's Vincent.
I--
...
!
Ah...ha...ha...

HC3[]

Day 1[]

Talking to Q84 after eating on the rooftop

Fancy meeting you here.
There goes our profound bond...
She just walked by!
How cold.
Nothing in the world can define me, but you can call me "C".
Ring a bell?
Bingo! Picked it up on my way here.
Now I can blend in with the rest of the students.
Ha-ha. I suppose I really do feel more at ease in the vessel.
Is this how little you think of me?
My only intention is to keep him safe.
Well then, don't be late for class.
I highly doubt it.
But, thank you for the invitation nevertheless.

Interacting with C again

Good luck on the show.
Not feeling like it today?
How about taking a break, then?

Day 2[]

After Q84 is attacked

Awake already?
Hi there.
Feeling comfortable?
Well, that's unfortunate.
I see.
You were out of it when I found you, so I made sure to watch over you.
This hurts my feelings.
Me? Gods, no. Never.
Believe me, the last thing I want is to get inside your head.
Sure, sure. Anything for you, miss Wiltshire.

Taking Q84 to her door

Not even a "thank you"?
Well then, good night.

Day 3[]

After Q84 is attacked by Bennett

Bingo!
Looking after you.
No can do. You're dirty and I'm squeamish.
You can get mr Honikker to treat you.
You did what?
He can never catch a break, huh...
More importantly, how long do you plan to provoke the tenants for attention until they actually kill you?
Actually, three.
Miss Wiltshire. I'm sorry for lecturing you, but...
You spend too many spare vessels.
Your lifespan might be greatly shortened if--
Ah. She killed herself with a toothbrush.
What was I talking about...

Finding C in the library

...
...I'm sorry. Give me a moment.
So, how has your day been, miss Wiltshire?
Been socializing?
What is it?
Excuse me, what?
No, no.
What gave you that idea?
Stop with the nonsense. I am not afraid of a little girl.
I think I have a bit of a headache.
A lot of things on my mind lately.
So I'm going to rest in the Infirmary, if you don't mind.

Finding C in the Infirmary: Use Linq on Charles

There are more gentle ways to wake up a person, you know?
Please do not startle me like that, miss Wiltshire.

Finding C in the Infirmary: Shake him awake

Oh. If it isn't miss Wiltshire.

Talking to C in the Infirmary

Mhm.
Feel like joining me?
It'll restore your SBP a bit.
Ah. Is that so.
What about the puzzles on this level?
Oh god, this story is a disaster.
Ah. You may have a point.
Miss Wiltshire, an avid hater of puzzle games and class attendance, is always well-rested, huh?
Then...why not simply keep me company?
Or is that not enough of a reason to stay?
Neither does Charlotte.

Lying down with C

Ah. Well, how do I say this...
I have found out that there's an imposter pretending to be me in the House.
That's right. These statements stay true.
I fear that this entity is no outsider.
And...it is rather powerful.
As I have told you before, I am an Observer in this world.
I am not omnipotent.
I can interfere to a degree, but there's only so much I can do in borrowed vessels.
That entity, however, only pretends to be a bystander.
It is fully capable of shapeshifting and manipulating the stories in a way it finds fitting.
Adding elements that weren't supposed to exist.
Mm. That could be an example.
I caugh a glimpse of it only once, but...
I wonder if it's plotting something malicious.
I am fully aware that you're anticipating the destruction of the House.
But please, have some sympathy.
My image is on the line here.
...
Well then, isn't it time for you to go home?
Why so? Too comfortable?
Aw.
Hmm~ I see.
Aren't they supposed to be the friendly units, though?
Please don't tell me you're conting th--
No, nevermind.
More importantly, dont' you think you brought it upon yourself?
Has it occurred to you that you're hurting others?
I see, I see.
The moment you see others have fun you resort to destructive behavior.
Because you're not a part of it.
Am I right?

Q84 is sick of talking

Come on, can't we just enjoy profound discussion?
Bye-bye.

After Scarlett interrupts the Execution Hour[]

In the Infirmary

Slept well?
Oh my, did the world end?
You're happy to see me?
I found you lying unconscious in the Garden, so I carried you here.
What happened?
...Is that so. This is...strange?
Wait, how do you know about that?
You see...this world's Scarlett Eyler is based on my imaginary construct of her.
She's the sister I wanted to have.
Not the reflection of my own self that I wanted to disappear.
She...isn't supposed to be hostile.
I can't fathom what could be driving her.
Please try to refrain from doing that.
I told you about the consequences, didn't I?
Once you get your wish granted, your story will end immediately.
Do you need me to accompany you?
Aw.
Please remember that you shouldn't abuse this, too.

Prologue Finale[]

C comes as Q84's story ends

Looks like it's the end of your story, isn't it, Unit Q84?
Mother network power overuse, drug side effects, everyone wanting you dead...all of that must've sped up the process, huh?
Too bad your body and soul have an expiration date.
Soon to be deleted and disposed of!
How was it in the commercials?
"A new story - a new Charlotte!"
"In this brand new installment, what kind of girl will she be?"
Ha-ha-ha! So dangerous!

C holds Q84's body

I'll miss you, you know?
Mother never sets your intelligence parameters too high most of the time.
Because of that, I've spoiled you too much.
You know far more than the other puppets.
Guilty as charged!
I'll be with you in your last moments, miss Protagonist.
Are you afraid of death, miss Wiltshire?
I know.
Uh-oh. Looks like it'd be better if you didn't try to speak right now.
It'll be okay, miss Wiltshire.

The Umbrella Man walks in

...! You?!
Fa--?!
No...it doesn't matter right now.

Save her

Q84, she...
Is there...really nothing I can do?
Please.
Can...
Can you save her?
...
Shut up.
No. It won't be the same.
...no. She'll kill me for it.
She was different.
She was...different.

After Destroying the House[]

Talking at the end

Or a proper "Vincent Wordsworth"

White Society Ending[]

Precisely, miss Wiltshire.
