VOLUME 2 NOTES

[murderingthetime]

(chapter 5)
(Flower girl.
O: Well, you said something like, 'become my subordinate...' so I was sure I'd be taken around by Pandora.
B: That's wonderful if that's what you want, but ... there are many different things I have to do too...well, no worries. I definitely have some work for all of you! ♥
B: We know that the case of the murders in the city is due to an illegal contractor. I'm sorry but could you please stop by and bring in that criminal with papa? ♥ [I really can't pay you right now, so here's some candy!]
A: Why do we have to stop by such a place!
O: Alice ...? [Why are you hiding?]
A: My goal is to find the pieces of my memory!
B: I understand, that's why...
A: DON'T COME NEAR ME YOU STUPID CLOWN!!
B: Oz-kun, she hates me, doesn't she? [Break's sad]
O: Don't be silly! That was merely her hiding her embarrassment. [Don't worry ☆]
Alice: Hey, Oz. [Why are you sympathizing with each other?]
B: Ah ha ha, but you know... isn't there a possibility that a memory is there?
A: What?
O: The memory in my watch connects to the way to the Abyss. Because of that, a chain went in and came out from there. If that's the case, you can't deny the possibility that where there is a chain, there is a memory. Right?
B: Oh my! Oz-kun, despite your appearance, you really are quite astute.
E: Unlike some stupid rabbit!
B: Now, now, it's not nice to say the truth, Emily!
A: Hmph. That's fine. Because my heart is great, I'll work with you on this mission. You better not drag your feet, you bunch of fools! [HAHAHAHAHA]
R(G): Even though you say that, you can't fight by yourself...
A: Shut it!
B: Yes, our friendship is coming along nicely, don't you agree? But...
(Break is not at all sketchy.)
B: It would be best not to trust her too much. She is, by no means, on "your side." And I suspect she may be hiding something.
B: I heard this saying when I was little... "People are always concealing lies..."
O: Yeah, the people here are good examples.
O: You're all hiding a lot more from me than she is.
..."That kind of person..."
B: Well, that's fine.
B: It's only natural, but ... he's going to look after you for me. Raven, watch them and make sure they get along well.

O: Well... to begin with... What is there to be gained by exchanging contracts with a chain for these people?
O: As for Alice, it's because she does what I wish... It's not like they just cling to people as they please, right?
R(G): .... "To be able to change the past." The chain proposed that idea. I don't know if it's really possible. However, contractors get themselves devoured by the chain in order to obtain that power. Until the seal in their chest makes a revolution. Over and over... over and over...
O: Seal...?
R(G): It's something that appears on the chest of illegal contractors. There's definitely one on you too.
R(G): That seal... is a clock that shows the contractor's "time limit." As time passes by, the needle moves and carves a seal again. Then, when the needle reaches the top again...

S: What you're doing is cruel.
B: Hmm, I wonder if it's already happening. Sharon, this picture... this picture of the seal is the only thing I didn't give them.
B: Because I thought Raven wouldn't take the job if he was worried about Oz. Well, it should just be game over for that contractor. I wonder if they already found her.
(Flower girl contractor v. Alice, Gil and Oz)
B: This is... my kindness.
B: The truth is... better known as soon as possible.
(Flower girl dragged into the Abyss.)
B: Oz... you have three paths...
B: The first is... if this clock goes on ticking... you, too, will probably be devoured by the darkness of that seal... The second is... if you continue to seek the truth about your sin... there could be a way to save you later on. And the third is... when you learn what that sin is, I'll most likely...
B: .......... please remember, Oz. What's left in the end... is not always what you wish for!

(chapter 6)
G: When the clock hand has made a full revolution, the contractor falls to the lowest levels of the Abyss. And that's... ... the end of the illegal contractor.
A: Is there a way to erase the seal?
G: ... the fastest way would be to sever the connection between the chain and the contractor. In other words, it would be best if you just died.
A: HELL NO!
(reunion of Doldum/Doldee, Oz and Gil OH SNAP 10 YEARS HAVE PASSED RAVEN IS REALLY GIL OH MAN!1 etc)

(chapter 7)
(Zwei is there to drag Oz back to the Abyss. And touch Gil.) Oz is the key to getting to the will of the Abyss and therefore a danger to the Baskervilles and that's why they need to toss him back into the Abyss.
(Oz and Gil have a moment. I STILL WANT TO BE YOUR SERVANT!1)
(Will of the Abyss telling Alice she will allllllwaaaaaayyyyyyyssss be alooooooonnnnnnneeee)

(chapter 8)
Alice's second memory. Jack again.
(trippy Abyss sequence, Oz turns the rabbitdoll down for Alice)
(SPYING ON PEOPLE IS FUN isn't it Oscar, Sharon and Break?)

(chapter 9)
G: They used you as bait to draw out the enemy.

B: Oh my! Good work, Raven! We were able to confirm many things, all thanks to you! Leave to clean up to us and you guys can wait back at your house, okay?
G: ... Don't play with me Break... You got Oz attacked by Baskervilles on purpose! What were you going to do if something happened to him!!
S: The worries aren't needed, Raven. If something happened, we planned on coming in and stopping it.
G: Wha...
S: From your shadow. Clearly. Everything. We were watching, you know? For example, let's see... "I want to be your servant even now."
G: HUH!!!?
B: Ha, I knew you'd expose him that way!
S: Truly... Even though I stayed quiet about the truth because Rave would insist...
B: With this, I win the bet ♥
S: Well? Since I bet they both 'couldn't say it'. I guess it's invalid?
B: Ah, that's right... heh, heh.

(Break... I don't even know what this is.)
B: Oh, you're so mean! Even though I came here to see how you too were doing.
G: THEN COME IN HERE NORMALLY.
B: Hey Oz, she didn't wake up right away so we were worried, right?
O: Ah.. Yeah... Thanks... [I guess....]
B: Raven. I came here for them, hurry and at least make me some tea.
G: Huh!? What did you say!?
B: (CREEPYFAIS)
G: (... goes to make tea)
B: Well then... Oh, please have a seat Oz.
O: Huh!? What!? [Don't bully Gil so much.]
B: You want to ask, right? Why the Young Lady and I haven't aged?
O: !
B: Children are the easiest to understand. [and control]
B: ... well to put it simply; it's because we are contractors.
O: But... it's not an illegal contract?
B: Because we are using a contracting method invented by Pandora. However, occasionally, there are people who, like us, stop growing because of the effect of the power.
O: ... o you mean 'live forever'...?
B: Ha ha! As if. ☆
B: It only takes the burden for the body. While your appearance doesn't change, someday we all get old... Unlike the Young Lady... I may not have another year left.
A: Oh... I just heard something good.
B: But, there's no way that I'll die that easily ♥
B: I still have something I must do.
O: Is that to get your hands on the will of the Abyss? Gil told me. Pandora and Baskervilles are both searching for it.
B: ... Oz, how did the Abyss appear to you.
O: ?
B: A prison just like you heard in old fairy tales? Or like a broken down toy box?
B: Pandora thinks like this. The Abyss is a womb for birthing weapons called "chains". That's why they want the will of the Abyss. It's the existence you should call the core that makes up space...!
B: Also... in order to do that, your existence is absolutely essential. Oz.
O: Huh...!?
B: This time the Baskervilles have... no, because even the "Will" has appeared, I'm sure of it. You are, without a doubt, the key for obtaining the Will.
A: ... that red hooded person said the same thing.
G: What do you mean?
B: Ah... Well...could you please try thinking of the Will of the Abyss as a device that contains a massive amount of power? Right now a malfunction has happened which is causing some problems here. Oz is the specific key that's necessary to properly control it.
A: ...!
B: Do you understand? In other words... You hold the power to seize the Abyss!
O: Why... Something like that...
B: ... Who knows? I don't really know that much. But maybe the reason... Has something to do with your "sin"?
(Oz is sad... but NO HE TROLLIN'???)
O: Did you think I was defeated? You sure are a worrier, Gil. If something like that is said suddenly, it doesn't sink in. So it turned out all right?
O: I'm going to keep searching for Alice's memories like I have been. Since the Baskervilles will come again. If Gil and Alice are with me everything will surely be fine.
B: You're a creepy brat.
G: ............ What....?
B: ... I have a deep interest. Just what made you so warped? But then... you haven't noticed 'that' for yourself yet.
O: Bre...
B: Hey, Oz.....
B: Where... are you?
B: My corrupted eyes... can't see your form at all...?
A: hehehehehehehHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Your eyes have finally gone bad, stupid clown! What are you saying? Do you understand? Oz is right here!
B: Well then... I guess I should be leaving. (LEAVES VIA THE CABINET. LIKE A CREEPY MOFO)

B: ...Hmmm... it seems like... the countdown has begun.
B: Hey Oz... you and I... whose time will end first?
