Dante- what the devil this? We saw the Beast slaughter them yesterday! What the hells happening?!
Vanitas- I think I understand it's a time loop and I know the malnomen this is a closed world created by a curse bearer
Bianca- Chloé...
Vanitas- wow! I didn't know that thing can do that!
Bianca- I do
Jeanne- Bianca?!
Bianca- come let's head straight for the castle!
Jeanne- don't be like get off! I'm going to slay the Beast!
Bianca- I know and we're going to save the curse bearer
Jeanne- I repaid my debt to you if you persist in-
Bianca- are you sure? This is what you wish?
Jeanne- I am a bourreau I must not cause any further trouble for Master Luca and Lord Ruthven
Vanitas- whoa!
Bianca- hang on Vanitas!
Holds her waist and she lands
Vanitas- thank you Mon Chéri now then where could that fool be?
Vanitas- hey why are you about to kick the bucket again Noé?
Noé- Vanitas is it truly you? Is it?
Vanitas- does that hurt?
Noé- yes
Vanitas- welcome back to reality
Noé- thanks
Vanitas- what the devil happened to you? Someone slip you some bad medicine
Noé- yes it would appears so
Vanitas- wait seriously?
Bianca- Noé! Are you okay I was so worried!?
Noé- I'm alright are Dante and Jeanne with you?
Bianca- yes
Noé- is everyone okay?
Vanitas- yes
Noe- what a relief I was so worried
Vanitas- you were worried?! What about me?!
Noe- what
Vanitas- never mind!
Noe- what?
Vanitas- enough about that! Did you learn anything useful while you were in the castle? Jeanne said Chloé d'Apchier is the Beast
Noe- no! That's not true
Bianca- the man you call Jean-Jacques is the Beast and Chloe is a vampire who willingly became a curse bearer
Noe- that's right However they haven't killed a single soul as far as I've seen
Vanitas- then this has all been in vain her motive was vengeance? Well there is no need to treat her if she became a curse bearer willingly
Noe- no! You can't simply leave her like this!
Vanitas- why not? Vengeance is meaningless so she would stop? Or it won't bring happiness for anyone? Is that what you wish to say?
Noe- no! That's not what I'm saying Vanitas I still don't know what is inside Chloe's head I don't know what she truly seeks I don't even know wha salvation would be for them I don't wish to leave here without discovering what that is!
Vanitas- well I do have to recover The Book of Vanitas
Noé- what!
Vanitas- I'll join you until then you truly are dim I'm saying I'll work you until you're satisfied if you wish for us to treat them try to inspire our help
Noé- very well! I'll do my best!
Vanitas- lower your voice!
Vanitas- I see taht keyboard controls the engines may devices Chloé d'Apchiper I presume?
Chloe- and you are?
Vanitas- my name is Vanitas Doctor and vampire specialist fear not I've come to save you or so I intend therefore I would have you return my book this instant!
Chloé- what book?
Vanitas- my book! The one with the black pages and blue leather cover!
Chloe- oh that one it's here somewhere
Vanitas- Quoi?
Chloé- I was curious about the jewel upon its cover but try as I might I failed to remove it so I just left it lying around I vaguely remember Jean-Jacques putting it away somewhere
Bianca- still the same as always
Chloe- b-Bianca ah! Look at you ahh! You have long hair now as always and your eyes as pretty as ever!
Vanitas- oh no! Don't tell me you're another vampire spatially challenge vampire?!
Chloé- and? I heard you say you would save me are you friend or foe? Which do you claim?
Naenia- Chloé he is your for your enemy and I hate him I truly do
Vanitas- I'm nobody's friend only Bianca's
Chloé- I'll leave the boys partner to you
Naenia- very well!
Bianca- Vanitas! Chloé what will you rewrite with the Alteration Engine?! For what do you seek vengeance?!
Chloe- Analysts complete Coordinates set
Bianca- Chloé...
Naenia- Chloe is going to erase Gévaudan from the face of the earth! Completely! Utterly! People, animals, forest, mountains, everything! They'll all be cast away into oblivion! I wonder what's in store I can't wait to see this!
Vanitas- she's not merely tampering with the World Formual?! She's erasing part of it? Erasing an area as large as Gévaudan will have vast repercussions Chloé d'Apchier! Don't do this! Wait a moment could it be she seeks to...?
Chloe- Definitions changed Alter phenomenon
Bianca- No! Don't activate that engine!
Chloé- Perpetuate existence
Naenia- wh-what's this?
Bianca- close your ears
Vanitas- she has forced Naenia to take a bodily form!
Chloé- I've thought about this ever so long how could I end this perpetual nightmare? How could I lay hands upon this incorporeal thing? At last now even I could slay you
