As I began repeating his earlier statement, I blacked out. After regaining consciousness, I saw Kuzette's corpse at my feet, having spilled purple blood on the floor. Lifting the corpse, I saw the stab wound on his chest before taking my knife and the sword. Hearing Ney state that the sword was one of Julia's treasures, I attempted to jump out the window before being stopped by Ney.

     Ney then told me that there was a witness, the brothel owner, and that she should also be killed. I then asked if it was necessary to kill unrelated people. She threatened to scold me for my foolishness of already killing eight prostitutes.

    Making my way downstairs I saw the owner and prepared to kill her. She then stated how she didn't want to die just yet. As I was about to stab her Ney suddenly stopped me saying I couldn't do it since I would lose. The women told me how she wouldn't say one word about the murder as long as I grant one request. She wanted to see my mother alone.

     I told her how I couldn't grant that request so easily, I heard her reassure me to just tell her that she was someone my mother would like to meet. I then asked the woman for her name and heard that it was Third Sleep Princess; I was then told by Ney that she was lying, her real name being Elluko Clockworker. I looked into the women's eyes and instantly believed that "she" really was Third Sleep Princess.

     Two days later mother and I came back to see Third Sleep Princess to chat. Standing by my mother while she spoke with the woman, I heard them discussing her identity and was unable to understand the particulars of their talk. Afterwards I witnessed the Sleep Princess exercise her hypnotic abilities on an employee and a green-haired attendant.

    I then listened as she and Julia rearranged Père Noël, making the alleged Sleep Princess into Seventh Magician and her attendant into Eighth Sniper. When asked about making Ney into Fourth Shadow, I asked the voice what she thought and heard her remark that she disliked it. Mother then stood by while the new Seventh Magician raised a glass to the new Père Noël.

A few weeks later

      I brooded after my failure to kill Bruno who could leak information about Pere Noél after being tortured. As Third Sleep Princess remarked on the grave state of affairs for my mother, I snapped that she should do something about it when her specialty was hypnosis. As Magician remarked that it would be too difficult, I reminded her of how she'd hypnotized an entire town once.

      She told me that it would be impossible now, I asked if it was because her body had changed and received a hesitant affirmation. As I looked at Magician, I suddenly heard her propose that I escape from Julia immediately.

      Asking her what she meant and stating I wouldn't forsake his mother, I heard the woman retort that she was abandoning me, as I would eventually be outed as Ton's murderer and then killed by Julia to prevent it becoming public. I then retorted I wouldn't be killed as long as I had my knife. She then left saying I could see her at the whore house with my most important item by midnight to escape.

The following morning

     I saw how mother seemed to be very tired after meeting many guests yesterday. I then told her how we needed to talk about something very important. I then confessed everything that had happened with Magician, telling mother there was she traitor.

    I then enjoyed Julia's gratitude as she petted my head, feeling a strange familiarity from it. We then devised a plan to capture the traitors and execute them before they could escape. So later that night I came to the place to see that it was empty and she was not there. I sighed knowing that I had another mission...

A few months later

    My new target was Ayn Archer the police officer. I waited for him in the dark alley waiting for my que but, i was interrupted when he recognized me. Ayn explained how he had, dressed as a clown, chanced upon my attempted kidnapping while helping in the case with the old Fifth Pierrot.

     As Ayn mused that the thugs had mistaken him for Fifth Pierrot, I snapped again that he was lying, insisting that Fifth Pierrot's "identity" couldn't be a police officer. I then charged at him with my dagger to finish the job to which he had avoided.

    As the World Police investigator asked me why I was doing this and said that my mother was deceiving me, I raged that my mother didn't matter and that this was my own decision, and that by erasing Ayn he could become the true Fifth Pierrot that he'd admired from four years ago. As I tried to stab the man again, Ayn tripped over a rock and fell. I then straddled him and raised my dagger to strike down yelling at him to die.

     However before I could deliver the final blow I heart a loud gun shot and my chest hurt really badly. I then collapsed onto the ground to see the real form of the Seventh magician and Eighth Sniper standing before me. Struggling to speak, I tried to ask why he had done this if he'd tried to help me, hearing the false women reply that it was because I had betrayed him and chose the path of evil.

    I tried to protest that I wasn't evil, but rather other people were, only for him to argue otherwise. As blood continued to spill from his wound, I weakly said," I don't want to die" and heard hm remark on the irony of me saying such after having killed so many people. As I began to run out of breath, I asked I he'd done any good and heard him remark he didn't know, suggesting I ask Ney. I then tried to call for Ney and realized I couldn't hear her voice. Murmuring that she had always been with me before and calling out for her, I grasped the air with my hand before becoming weak and succumbing to my injury. "See I told you should have escaped with me", were the last words I heard at all by the Seventh magician before wickedly laughing.
