the quintessence of Evolution a unified group of scientists doctors and Engineers above all else they were a symbol of innovation seeking truth based on their own culture and religious precepts the leader of the Alchemists a man named valentinus monad was a brilliant doctor an archaeologist with an act for decoding ancient texts he searched for the legend of eternal life with his colleagues for a long time he settled down in Kat after finally finding a clue there with the Alchemist's capital in technology crap began to develop although there were some who disliked the Alchemists no one

could deny that they breathed new life into the city in their search for immortality The Alchemist discovered the relic of trust majestas a mining ground that yielded a mysterious substance known as Ergo Ergo is a manifestation of a person's memories life Essence and time upon death a person's Essence is transformed into ergo which is consumed By a mineral known as crowd causing the Ergo to grow larger in size no one knows when the inorganic cluster structure called crowd sunk its roots in Kat the first documented record is 600 years ago when there was a ground

collapse in the west of Kat the people who collected the bodies of the farmers and mules who died found unknown minerals and ruins at the bottom of the pit but they didn't know their value at the time there is some mystery as to exactly when and how Ergo Was discovered however there is no dispute when it comes to the Alchemists as the ones who discovered ERG Go's value the fact that such an incredible mineral exists in Kat is a blessing from God The Alchemist performed endless research on Ergo they intuitively understood its incredible potential but

also knew their limitations calling upon technicians from various regions for Aid if there was one man capable of creating life from a mysterious Power Stone it Would be the except exceptionally talented and tenacious Craftsman jepetto the old man devised his specialized mechanical heart through the use of Ergo to serve as a power source for the creation of Puppets the heart was known as a PE organ the introduction of automated puppets drastically improved the quality of life of the citizens of crat this invention inevitably caused the powered sources of the old era to become obsolete the

workshop puppets are Intricate like humans and they perform their Master's order so naturally that people wonder if they have souls many competitors tried to replicate the workshop's special mechanical Hearts only to fail and prove the outstanding gap between their capabilities due to their Expendable nature puppets were made to replace much of the labor workforce they fulfilled duties of public servants maids and handled menial tasks for decades Ergo mining was the Central interest of CR technicians no matter how much they mind with their various tools the all never run dry the workers who suffered pain from

The Rock drill's strong recoil complained ironically they too were replaced by puppets in this booming industry of automation there was little tolerance for human error not only that but the use of Puppets mitigated the need for human rights or health and safety measures within a Workforce why am I Using labor of Puppets that cost so much money you ask because we can't have humans explode no one remembers the number of Labor puppets who died in the the explosion no one besides the puppets that is the advancement of automated puppets unwittingly started causing an imbalance throughout

all of Kat however the people who had grown accustomed to convenience turned a blind eye to the Social contradictions and discomfort in time signs of life began to show within Puppets the first recorded instance of paranormal Behavior was enacted by a maid despite being in the early phase when the design was rudimentary cam caught and saved a baby who fell from a crib such function was nowhere to be found in the design her appearance and identity in living years was similar so it was probably easier for her to manifest an ego as established ero is

the essence of a deceased person the report informs that if the puppet Harnessing a person's Essence shares a similar identity to that person they are more likely to gain a consciousness of their own this is referred to as manifesting an ego after hurly collecting Camille to launch an investigation the order found out that she understands language and got a message send me back to my child Panic ensued within the community was this a manufacturing fault or a miracle from God the made Camille may have been the First to gain a Consciousness but she certainly wouldn't

be the last the growth of the puppet industry is in part credited to a man named laurenzini venini who helped make the product accessible Citywide venini is is the prince of high society a genius inventor and the richest man in cat along with his love for extravagance he's notorious for his narcissism and various quirks however few are aware of the tragedy he experienced in his youth Yung VI Witnessed his parents murder happened before his very eyes the true nature of the death of these parents was covered up officially they're victims of a homicide during a

mugging even though V experienced such a tragedy in his youth he grew up with a cheerful personality and became a well-known person whom any parents would be proud of however there is no one who knows that V secretly requests for the case history every year and that his request is always denied Suspicion surrounded this tragedy at the time and there is known to have been pressure from the workshop and the Alchemists throughout the investigation the most interesting hypothesis is that the murderer is not human in the interest of business the news that there's the murder

of Puppets made of steel walking amongst the populace could not be made public feeling a sense of Crisis The Alchemist and the workshop announced the creation of the grand Covenant the grand Covenant is a set of absolute commands imprinted on puppets when they are made first law all puppets must obey their Creator's commands Second Law a puppet may not harm humans third law a puppet protects and serves humans and the City of Kat fourth law a puppet cannot lie shaped by his childhood trauma venini built his own workshop at the young age of 18 to

ensure that his Production company would mitigate any manufacturing errors that had been made in previous iterations venini works as UN paralleled in their ability to mass-produce highquality puppets it set the industry standard for what was cap able in the automated puppet industry this was to No Surprise as venini collaborated with japeto placing the Creator as the workshop president in crat Ergo was invaluable it was both the City's power source and form of currency With such high demand the quality of the supply was often questionable I conducted a quality investigation on the Ergo supplied by the

Alchemists of course it was done secretly certainly the quality of Ergo was getting worse over time I don't doubt the Alchemists but the decrease in quality is too widespread to call it a coincidence according to a reliable source the highlevel Alchemists are running Ergo production experiments lately using Another method personally I think their secret experiments have something to do with the decrease in Ergo quality As We Know The Alchemist primary motive has always being the acquisition of eternal life it was the very reason they began research in Ergo as of yet their secret experiments remain

unknown but their negligence calls for a pending disaster soon after a plague originating from an unknown source began to spread throughout Kat it would be named the Petrification disease in the early days it was seen as a unique disease that's only manifested in some social classes just like black lung which only occurred among coal miners this however could not be the case as the first to be exposed to the disease were the Alchemists although there are many who were experts in the field of medicine everyone was helpless in the face of this new disease those

Afflicted first experienced severe cold symptoms followed by Stone scales Growing on their body and finally the victims suffered from organ failure and died the petrification disease was not only a danger to the people infected but also those around them side effects include disassociative Amnesia seizures aggressive urges and hallucinations for this reason people with the disease were quarantined Kat established strict rules regarding entry into the city in an effort to prevent its puppet technology from leaking when the petrification Disease started spreading like wildfire it was these same rules that trapped the citizens within the city walls

the petrification disease was determined to have emerged as a result of overexposure to Ergo this explains the first occurrence being amongst the Alchemists as they were the main supplier of UR ago acting quickly the Alchemists publicly announced that they had developed a cure iterations of the Cure were tested on hundreds of patients but the results Weren't promising those injected with the Elixir experienced painful necrosis and skin ruptures seizures and convulsions and crystalline metastasis throughout the body ultimately they became mutations known as carcuses before the Cure could be released to the public a man named Dr

Clark Shaw would create the vaccine himself using records stolen from the Alchemists his confession reveals the following early on the Cure really was effective in Neutralizing the petrification disease I know I stole it but I perfectly followed the manufacturing processes my cure was perfect but what went wrong I dare not record what the ones who got treatment turned into that was literally hell and when I realized that I was the gatekeeper who opened the doors I ran away how can I atone for my sins I'm dying and this is my penitence I also have the

petrification disease but I'm not getting the Cure I'd rather Turn to Stone and freeze to death The Cure was not the solution he had imagined witnessing the effects of the Elixir the doctor would soon die before injecting it into himself the question remains how could the Alchemists have announced a cure knowing that their Elixir possessed major flaws perhaps the result was exactly what was intended whilst Kat was preoccupied with the evolution of automated puppets the Alchemists have been operating in the shadows secretly Conducting experiments with the goal of attaining immortal life it is plausible to

assume that The Cure made by the Alchemists was no attempt at a cure at all but a solution to death those who were Afflicted with the petrification disease volunteered themselves to be treated by the Alchemists little did they know they were used as guinea pigs for experimentation the Alchemists traded human lives as a method of trial and error with every life taken they Were one step closer in their pursuit to make matters worse a new problem arose one that would rival the crisis of the petrification disease the puppets that were once a staple of society

would turn hostile killing anyone and everyone in their wake the occurrence began on Rosa Isabel Street resulting in hundreds of casualties while the cause is still unknown the number of the casualties and the scale of the damage are both growing as the crisis dragged on the workshop And venini Company CR largest puppet Factory announced that they would offer emergency supplies to the citizens and do everything they could to alleviate the situation a task force is investigating the possibility of the Fatal loss of the grand Covenant which is the control protocol of the workshop's puppets the

puppet frenzy birthed a generation that lost their families and swore Revenge a war was was waged upon Humanity by their very Creation there was no warning no chance for Preparation no time for caution when the puppet suddenly attacked technicians scrambled to make weapons as for their fate they were technicians not Warriors unfortunately none managed to wield a blunt weapon properly until every last one of them was killed the citizens who retaliated most effectively were Cooks their knives that were once used to prepare feasts were repurpose to slaughter puppets the frenzy brought out Humanity's most natural

instinct and only the fittest would survive before long stalkers who were the armed guards of the privileged class were dispatched to regain order within the city the stalkers are K's Vigilantes there are two groups of them the bastards and the sweepers the bastards are from noble families whereas the sweepers are from the alleys the relationship between the organization is the very definition of enmity it is Said that the bastards were abandoned by their families but they couldn't abandon their pride clutching nothing but their honor the bastards charged forward Spears in hand social dignity can be

seen not only in the ballroom but also on the battlefield the leader of the bastards did not lose his Poise on either stage the bastards forces were split however as when The Alchemist became prominent organizations within Kat those who didn't fit in with Kat's Ro ruling class opted to join forces with the Alchemists they dreamt of a promising future in the flow of a new era their motto was honor or nothing the brutality of the Alleyways Can Be Tamed by no one the sweepers came mostly from the Alleyways and their fighting style is rough and

ruthless this league of stalkers were loyal to the old families of Kat alienated from the prosperity of the city their interests aligned with the old Powers who were jealous of new Forces their motto was we always repay what is owed when the puppet frenzy emerged the orders given were as follows if you don't have a weapon to kill puppets with use a shovel if you have to stalkers followed the orders of their incompetent Commander however the attack was not on their enemy but on him chaos decays the facade upheld by Humanity what remains is the

truth that the foundations of society are fragile and civili is abandoned at the first sign of Disruption The Surge of the puppet frenzy brought the city ofrat to a halt it was believed that the grand Covenant was broken blood flowed through the city like a river stream and corpses were buried in Mass Graves the invention that propelled the city of Kat would cause its utmost downfall during the catastrophe the leader of the Alchemists valentinus monad was confirmed dead out of respect the citizens of Kat erected a statue in his honor the divisive Presence of the

Alchemists within Kat was more more evident than ever as before long his statue was defamed sources state that valentinas died in a mysterious accident and his beloved daughter went missing it is as though his passing was by Design Simon Manus who started from the bottom ranks eventually became the leader of the Alchemists thanks to his competence and Charisma the creator of the automated puppet jepetto would suffer a grave loss Of his own his son Carlo passed away from the petrification disease leaving the old man broken Beyond repair in a desperate effort to retaliate against the

forces of evil japeto exercised his LIF long experience as a Craftsman placing the fate of humanity in one final creation his magnum opus Pinocchio can you hear me jepetto's puppet we need your help awakened by a mysterious voice P Finds himself in a train cart in Kat Central Station the boy is equipped with nothing but the the clothes on his back a white shirt imbued with someone's kind consideration The Voice calls out once again my name is Sophia please come to hotel crot and I'll explain what's happening Jiminy please escort him to the hotel surrounded

by a pool of blood is a small lamp with a cricet guide puppet Inside it illuminates the darkness with a faint light do not be afraid even if you get lost in the fog the cricket guide will be with you the cricket is a companion named giny who is a mirror of Jiminy Cricket a character from the original Pinocchio Tale in preparation for the journey ahead we pick up arms and sharpen our blade to those in battle the grinder is their Lifeline the sharpness of their blade can mean life or death a pul cell is

equipped to heal Battle Scars and a last resort is in our supply a mechanism which kills the user upon activation the old man feared the possibility of his son failing to awaken properly and going into a frenzy this initialization device was made as a necessary evil for delicate readjustments emerging from the train we witnessed Trails of blood connected to countless bodies left to rot in the streets when the puppet frenzy began the citizens were advised to stay indoors For their safety however many fled to crat Central Station with the goal of escaping the city this

only caused further panic pic and Chaos trapping the civilians in a confined space for Slaughter the citizens expected police officers and military police puppets to handle the situation what they failed to realize is that they too were puppets progressing to the plaza we are introduced to a stargazer these survival devices were once used to capture ergos Spars that caused the petrification disease this allowed for the creation of safety hubs the stalkers took interest in their utility and added various features es turning them into survival bases interestingly the name Stargazer is likely a reference to Disney's

Pinocchio where japeto gazes upon a shooting star and wishes for his puppet to come to life breaking through a locked gate the boy stands to face the parade Master a remarkable puppet Crafted by the workshop in commemoration of the grand exhibition the parade was set to demonstrate cr's technological press to the world but was delayed in the wake of the puppet Frenzy and in the end never came to fruition the parade Master is inspired by manga foco who in the original Pinocchio novel is the Puppet Master of the great marionette theater he kidnaps Pinocchio due

to interrupting his show and plans to use him as firewood for his dinner feeling Remorse for the boy's cries he would later release him without repercussions in this Tale the boy isn't so helpless utilizing the weapons in our Arsenal the parade Master is defeated advancing ahead we appear before Hotel Kat set to be one of the city's creepiest and most mysterious buildings according to Law hotel crat is an isolated castle built by an aristocrat devoted to a form of occultism after receiving a revelation from a radiant tree at one point it was Used as a

mental institution and some patients said they saw hallucinations however no records remain as they were all destroyed in a large fire above all being so far underground just compounds the rumors some even said that it is connected to an unknown hell but now the rumors have served to embellish the charm of Hotel Kat which has been renovated in the latest style now a save Haven for survivors Hotel crat only welcomes humans upon Approaching p is asked to prove his identity is he a puppet or a human the hotel security system still adheres to the Grand

Covenant and since puppets should only be capable of telling the truth proving one's humanity is as simple as lying to gain access the boy is forced to speak into existence his first ever lie human he mutters before entering the premise I am Sophia I've been waiting for you Searched all over the city of kro to find you you must have questions japedo will have answers but we have to to find him first he was last seen on aisian Boulevard Sophia is a listener someone with the unique ability to hear Ergo she inherited the power from

her mother who hated it labeling it as the devil's power for this reason Sophia's ability to talk to puppets was kept a secret Sophia provides a moonface pocket watch An item imbued with a mystical power the watch turns back time to when the boy was in Peak condition should the need arise the time manipulating device will rewind time to undo the boy's demise Sophia is representative of the fairy with turquoise hair from the tale of Pinocchio later iterations would reimagine the character as the Blue Fairy comparable to the original tale Sophia's role is to be

the voice of reason for the boy in this instance Guiding him on his journey of reinstating order into a world of chaos before embarking on our mission we make ourselves acquainted with the inhabitants of the hotel at the reception is pandina Butler to Lady Antonia who is the owner of Hotel craft in The Adventures of Pinocchio pandina was a nickname given by children to japeto in the hallway left of the reception Antonia is found sitting in a wheelchair gazing at a large Self-portrait from her youth she is the queen of high society and was once

famous for her good looks although the petrification disease GSS away at her health it hasn't taken away from her elegant dignity Antonia is likely a notd to master Antonio from the original tale also referred to as Master Cherry he was the first to discover the log which would be carved into Pinocchio concerned by the log's magical nature Antonio Gifted it to his friend japet interestingly Antonio's surname is chaarani which is derived from the word chaza translating to Cherry in Italian in the Armory we encounter Eugene a technician from the workshop Union she has virtually no

memory of her past or family either but she does recall a particular stalker who rescued her during the collapse of the workshop Tower Eugene originates from the country of the morning beyond the ocean her Family was a house of weapon Specialists and as such she is proficient in weapons of all kinds unfortunately she was deserted at a young age and has since lived to create her own legacy Additionally the name Eugene is a call back to a character from the original tale named Eugenio who is Pinocchio's classmate in school an essential member of the hotel

Community is spring the cut who initially appears distant hissing at the boy as he attempts to pet it an Interesting detail as P gains more Humanity the cat begins to sense his warmth and slowly grows to be comfortable around him now familiar with the hotel we Center our attention to finding japeto in doing so with step foot in alian Boulevard downtown crat had become death row due to the puppet frenzy even today a significant number of survivors live quietly behind locked doors curtained windows and basements who who is it is that you Murphy oh sorry

I I thought you were my friend Murphy Murphy is a super cool police officer as a puppet even the petrification disease can't get him I wish I was like him you should leave so you don't catch the disease from me TOA is a Survivor who is inflicted with a petrification disease living out his final days he wishes for nothing more than to be reunited with His friend Murphy so that they could play together one last time cries of desperation Echo loudly through the streets of crat G for those who have passed and Silent suffering for

those who are left my family Took My Baby from me and sent me here they said it was for my own good but it was heartless just the [Music] same a baby must be with its Mother please go to cart City Hall and bring me my baby stricken with the petrification disease the Weeping Woman was separated from her baby Elena and transferred to a quarantine Zone with hard scales spreading across her face and her eyesight fading the woman has little time left her last wish is to see her child's face again before it's too late

in CR City Hall a broken baby puppet can be retrieved if given to the Weeping Woman she states the following h you found her kind [Music] one oh my sweet Elena there there my baby I missed you so much what do you think isn't my baby adorable it is here that P is once again presented with conundrum do we tell the truth and reveal that the baby is a Puppet or mutter a lie and tell her that her child is cute with what little time she has to live would choose to nurture the hope she

has in her heart a lasting joy that will follow her to her grave she's a cute baby the boy States you granted me my only [Music] wish my sweet elener we're going to be happy now continuing forward we approach a large Bridge with A puppet hung from its strings at the entrance The Alchemist bridge is the bridge on alian Boulevard and the main way to CR City Hall the holy uro borus the mark of the Alchemists is fittingly engraved into the bridge this shows that the Alchemists are not just a powerful privileged class but have

also donated tremendous amounts of money across the city at the end of the bridge we find a man stood before a courage hidden inside is jepetto aware that he's the creator Of the puppets the Mad donkey is adamant that jepetto knows the cause of the puppet frenzy the madman who was now terminally ill no longer feared puppets or the petrification disease he simply wanted to know the truth the reason for his colleague's Bloodshed upon approach the Mad donkey turns his attention to P identifying the boy as one of jepetto's Creations he draws his blade blinded

by his stubbornness he fails to see the approach of death when the battle is won Jetto steps out of the carage the boy glazes at his own hand which had become a canvas for blood for the first time he had taken the life of a human being looking up the boy locks eyes with his maker it's a dream come true seeing you like this I understand why some people despise me I invented the puppets after all I should take responsibility as their maker but in order for me to do That I need to take care

of the puppets at City Hall won't you help me son clearing our way through cat City Hall we are halted by the scraped Watchman an ambitious creation of venini who sought to make a jolly police muscot puppet for the city hall his passion to make a trustworthy friend for the citizens and a strong officer who overpowers criminals was in the right place but turned out to be excessive the New police officer puppet's overcharged storage battery exceeded its capacity causing chain explosions malfunctions and serious body damage the city council recommended disposing of the puppet on the

ground that its appearance intimidates visitors but Mr venini and the taxpayers protested halting the council's plan in its tracks whilst the case was ongoing the puppet was temporarily abandoned but nonetheless it found its own calling even when the Puppet is unattended it performs a number of its mascot roles it is especially popular with kids and it even appears to react and respond to the playing of children local children from underprivileged parts of Kat endearingly named the mascot Murphy in their eyes the puet wasn't a failure but a friend abandoned by the adults the children let

go of their childhood to survive soon after the broken police puppet accompanied the children's whistles and Restored the children's laughter Murphy provided comfort for the kids where no humans could he was a source of Happiness a warm blanket that veiled the harsh realities of life in reverence the children crafted a small wooden officer puppet and decorated it using stolen paint the do resembled Murphy and was gifted to him a gift that the puppet would cherish deeply as the petrification disease spread throughout crat it was the children from the slums Who are most likely to be

infected as a result kids such as Toma who we had encountered at the window earlier gradually stopped showing up to play with Murphy unable to reunite or play with his friends Murphy grew resentful he blamed the adults for the loss of his friends as they couldn't protect them from the disease the onset of the puppet frenzy allowed for the scrapped Watchman to unleash years of bitterness as he engages with The boy he cries out the following children Frozen abandoned by you I avenge my friends you all guilty I'll punish you Zach Sophie Eric TOA The

Watchman took it upon himself to pass judgment on those within the city hall his role is likely inspired by the Guerilla judge from the p noio novel who sentences the boy to jail for his poor behavior in addition the watchman's movement is reminiscent of an ape which further strengthens this Theory upon the Watchman's defeat a faded whistle is found nearby the same one that was used by the children during their play If The Whistle is blown outside of toa's window the child will assume that Murphy has come to play I know that whistle it must

be Murphy thanks for coming by I want to play but I feel too sick I don't think I Can I miss Zach and Sophie and Eric I wish we could all play on our return to the hotel T we speak with japeto forgive a Sentimental father for worrying about his son always remember that you're precious to me even when I ask you to do something dangerous speaking of which there's a factory just beyond the leian boulevard it's packed with countless puppets my friend the inventor venini Went to stop them but he never came back please

go save him and shut down the factory at the entrance of the workshop a light shines Upon A mysterious phone that Rings indefinitely out of curiosity we connect with the voice on the opposite line by morning it walks on feet numbering four at midday just two no less and no more it walks on 3 feet when the evening arrives and if you solve this I'll know you're alive the riddle inquires am I a mon Or human if the answer given is human p is rewarded with a trinity key which unlocks specific doors within CR the

king of riddles appears many times throughout our journey each time presenting us with a new riddle the identity of the individual is unknown as of yet inside venini works we encounter the Survivor based on his mask we can discern that he is an amateur stalker masks are not just for defense and fashion but also for ranks that show off On abilities the link between Rank and animal mask isn't clear but mostly the powerful ones choose their preferred mask first on the other hand rookie stalkers usually wear the animal masks decided by superiors it is doubtful

that the Survivor willingly elected a mouse as his animal of choice Additionally the mouse is likely a call back to the door mous from the original tale who warns Pinocchio about the donkey fever in the land of toys the Survivor is a man who Forsook his own oath when the puppets toppled the tower the youth fled in fear he lost his sworn brother and his name that day and became a Survivor wandering in Hell driven by guilt over the death of his adopted brother Leo the Survivor swears to kill each and every puppet if P

wears the blue blood's tail coat which is the attire of the bastards the Survivor will mistake him for Leo indicating that he was likely from the bastard's faction of stalkers Identifying the boy as a puppet the surv enters a fit of rage nonetheless only one would leave the room alive marching ahead we come in contact with the red fox and Black Cat the fox is Claudia Wolf known to be the daughter of a time honored family the name wul is derived from the word vulpe which in Italian means Fox conflict within the household caused Claudia

to cut ties with the w family and be ousted from Noble succession she later joined forces With the bastards the black cat was once affiliated with the sweepers he joined the group as an apprentice stalker but was reported to be inactive ignoring ranks and neglecting Duty as a cat who had lived alone in the slums he trusted no one but himself however his mind changed completely when he met the fox at a point in time the fox claimed that the cat was IR relative to the wolf family her long lost sibling in fact this resulted

in the sweepers conducting An unofficial interrogation to determine whether the cat was a potential spy for the bastards anyhow the two supposed siblings would leave their factions and begin working together their plan was to earn enough money to leave crat but things changed when the Black Cat became ill Contracting the petrification disease it was only a matter of time before the disease spread to his eyes and took his vision desperate the duo began working with the Alchemists for Each job completed they would be paid in gold coin fruit which they used to buy treatments this

fruit that resembles gold holds Miracles and is thus a precious wonder drug however no matter how bewitching a miracle may be it always comes with a price unfortunately the dosage provided by the Alchemists would only contain the disease never cure it likely done purposely to keep the stalkers under their umbrella upon talking to the pair We are informed that benini is nearby they venture to the factory to seek opportunities for work but upon meeting V would deny his request describing it as ridiculous in addition The Fox and the cats are characters who also exist in

the tale of Pinocchio they are depicted as con artists who lead the boy astray and unsuccessfully attempt to murder him they trick Pinocchio into believing that they are disabled the fox claims to be lame and they cat blind Their goal is to locate a field of Miracles where one could plant a coin in the ground and a money fruit tree would grow in parallel the red fox and black cat pursue a field of Miracles of their own a sacred tree which yields a boundless Harvest of gold coined fruit further ahead we come upon the man

himself laurenzini venini please help me find my butler Pinella he's a puppet and a friend the factory is of Course my priority we must take it back but please keep an eye out for my for my butler before we depart venini explains that a puppet by the name foko was in charge of the Factory's furnace but since the frenzy has begun acting of its own valtion the once faithful puppet now kills humans it creates puppets instead of fire it obeys something else other than humans it's as if someone is controlling it or it has a

mind of its own as if there's a king of P puppet Somewhere here we learn that the puppet frenzy did not arise by chance as there is intent behind their every action the line between humans and puppets is ever more blurred there are those who gained an ego others who are no longer bound by the grand Covenant and now the puppets have established a hierarchy with the king of Puppets hailed as a God the puppet dreamt of a fire that would make the king's Army at the end of a desperate fight with a boy puppet

the Fanatic's burning fire was scattered into foolish Ash with the king's flame foko defeated and the manufacturing of a puppet's army brought to a halt venini along with his companion returned to the hotel having completed our mission we conversed with jepetto the cathedral is famous for its wise and kind Archbishop Andreas he offers Sanctuary to countless refugees there the thing is I've lost touch with them Perhaps no news is good news but I'm a suspicious sort and if the puppets push towards the cathedral it could be devastating go save the Archbishop and the refugees before

it's too late the cathedral was founded when St Frangelico met a One-Winged Angel in time Archbishop andreus would take leadership of the church the Archbishop was such a man of character that they called him the saint of Kat they say his moral Influence even made murderers repent before God however even an honest Saint like him couldn't resist the temptation of the tremendous gold that flooded into Kat Andreas developed a relationship with the Alchemists when they offered to financially support the Reconstruction of the church The Continuous funds compelled Andreas to turn a blind eye to the

alchemist's research and as such they gained control of further territories in Kat when the Petrification disease began began to spread Andreas felt a sense of responsibility for the chaos that had ensued as the disease could have been averted had he denied The Alchemist their stay for this reason he chose to accept refugees into the church and took it upon himself to find a solution to reach the cathedral one must first tread through Moonlight Town said to be the lowest place in the city since St Frangelico met the One-Winged Angel and Founded the church Moonlight town

has become known as the place where pilgrims are lifted to the Cath cedral by pulley and prepare for their pilgrimages today we have cable Railways instead of pulley and the City of the future instead of a Country Village but our virtues remain unchanged those who admired the sufferings of the pilgrims once opposed the introduction of shortcuts such as pulley and Railways likely believing that in making it accessible the journey Was stripped of its Essence approaching the cable Railway we are met with the atoned a once proud stalker who as indicated by her name is making

amends for her past amidst the rise of the petrification disease the atoned was responsible for guiding refugees to St Frangelico Cathedral inadvertently instead of guiding people to Refuge she took them to the Land of the Dead having fled from incomprehensible death the St of vow to live the rest of her life in Repentance utilizing the railway we reached the path of misery a route once climbed by monks whilst they prayed for those in need populating the en environment are the bodies of countless Souls who fell victim to the petrification disease within the vicinity a carcass

approaches as documented by Dr Shaw carcasses are the result of the experiments conducted by the Alchemists it is the outcome of the supposed cure being injected into Patients who were predisposed to the petrification disease fighting through the infested Land We happen Upon A mysterious man my name is Jano I'm an Al a pharmacist yes pharmacist I'm looking for the legendary gold coin fruit I was able to use medicine to slow the infection spread I have the petrification disease and I need a cure suspiciously giano stutters as he claims his occupation a sign that the man

may not be who he claims comparable to the Black cat giangio requires gold coined fruit to heal his disease a ballot speaks of a tree that Bears this produce the tree's fruit resembles gold coins and this fruit is a miraculous blessing for many people who have recovered from different diseases and who have been able to escape the plague for now we head towards St Frangelico Cathedral Chapel made possible by the alchemist's funding the church embodies quality with gold marble flooring and gargantuan Statues erected in representation of a higher power in truth the cathedral is only

a veil for the irreparable damages caused by carcasses every night there is a monster crying in the basement even if I sing hymns I can hear it in my ears the once holy church now plagued with disease and ravaged by cares snuffs out any hope for remaining life I'm the only one left everyone's Dead from the petrification disease or From the monsters I didn't die but my heart breaks more each day Cecile is a nun who serves the Archbishop she's one of few survivors left in Frangelico encountered in the library Cecil appears oddly pale likely

to have contracted the petrification disease she asks for the boy to acquire the archbishop's holy Mark which can be found in his office oh thank you just seeing the archbishop's holy mark renews my spirit it's a reminder of The Quiet power of Faith outside the office the archbishop's diary can be obtained the book reveals the foll foll in Cecil's unwell again today the Adam's Brothers found her standing like one of the dead at the edge of a cliff and brought her back if it's mild sleepwalking it's fine but I'm worried it's her old blood compulsiveness

again I know about her strong beliefs better than anyone else so it's really too bad God will be glad with the atoned perhaps I should ask her For atonement for visiting the aisle of Alchemists at a point in time Cecil suffered from an uncontrollable obsession with blood regardless under the guidance of the Archbishop she actively repents through acts of service the diary also speaks of a time when Cecil visited the aisle of Alchemists and stole the relic of Tris magistus it was to be used by Andreas to purify the city but instead things took a

turn for the worse inside The Relic was a ritual Trident it is presumed to have once belonged to a great warrior who served an ancient King The Warrior of the sea vowed to protect the people from the cursed Relic this Relic was kept hidden for good reason as its emergence would reap dire consequences in possession of The Relic the Archbishop would be warped into an unrecognizable monster unable to acknowledge how corrupt he had become he escaped into a delusion that he had been chosen by the angel Andreas had lost all Sense of reality believing to

be a One-Winged Angel chosen to purify crat from the disease which had turned people into monsters what he failed to identify is that he himself had become one as we battle the Fallen Archbishop his bodily form emerges from within his monstrous shell a mold of a human and centipede Andreas still clasps onto the Trident discovered within the cursed Relic the source of his disfigurement his right arm appears To resemble a wing comparable to the One-Winged Angel who met St Frangelico interestingly an angel with One Wing is symbolic of a fallen an angel one that had

been cast out of Heaven a sign of ill Omen Andreas interpreted this as a form of affinity with a higher power which further fed into his delusions following his defeat we witness Andreas Ergo along with that of foko parade master and scrapped Watchmen leave their bodies and magnetize towards an ergo Consuming device stored at top a tower seated before the device an unknown figure relishes in his accomplishment who this man is or what he plans to do with the Ergo is yet to be revealed with the Archbishop defeated we find that Cecil had departed from

the cathedral Left Behind is a written confession thank you for your kindness I'm a sinner who murdered innocent people in the past I couldn't suppress the monster in me only the Archbishop saved me of course He was a human who makes mistakes even Saints succumb to wealth and power but at least I can live as myself and that's a huge bless blessing so yes I believe that he was a saint thank you for letting me live as a human not a monster farewell Cecile regardless of the mistakes he made Cecil chose to remember Andreas as

the saint he once was the man who restored her spirit through the quiet power of Faith Andreas may have been liable for the loss of many lives But he saved Cals intriguingly had the boy not provided ceal with the Holy Mark she would have transformed formed into a carcass and succumbed to her blood lust proving that it was indeed faith that had encouraged her to persevere before returning to the hotel we happen upon a world-renowned treasure hunter alidoro claims to be a descendant of aristocrats who is highly knowledgeable in the ruins and Relics of Kat

he states that his duty is to serve The common people and aims to do so by collecting treasure and returning it to their rightful owners curiously nobody has ever seen the face behind the famous hunting dog mask do you know of a place where I can take refuge preferably some place clean and comfortable you know civilized placing our trust in the Treasure extraordinaire we inform him of Hotel crat as a point of comparison the name alidoro is shared by a dog in the original tale who saves Pinocchio from Being eaten by the green fishermen in

the land of busy bees following alador 's arrival at the hotel Eugene recognizes the Hound wow I didn't know he was still alive thank heavens I haven't seen him in person and I don't know how I'd react how do you thank the man who saved your life her words imply that alidoro is the same stalker who rescued her during the collapse of the workshop Tower gracious she Ponders on how she may return the Favor additionally during our absence venini devises a plan to uncover the truth behind the puppet frenzy he predicts that something within the

puppet's Ergo is causing their aggression utilizing an ergo wavelength decoder he may be able to find errors in the grand Covenant imprinted on the puppets to do so we must first acquire more Ergo next on our journey is the malum District I don't know what's happening in the malum District the Black rabbit Brotherhood seized the neighborhood that's all I know it was always a rundown neighborhood but it's descended into Anarchy or worse I'm hearing rumors of monsters rampaging through the district those poor people they need your help son at the entrance we once again crossed

paths with the black cat and red Fox the two offer to join forces with the boy to clear the neighborhood further in the cat claims to need a short break from combat leaving us to continue alone the rain pours heavily and every corner is filled with endless hordes of infected persevering we reach The brotherhood's Hideout the cat and the fox appear once again seeming surprised that peace still draws breath from their reaction we can determine that they never intended to help us take Down the Brotherhood but we're rather hoping we' fall victim to the Hostile

streets of malum reliant on no one but ourselves we break through the gate to the The Hideout on the other side appear the black rabbit Brotherhood the eldest brother carries a large coffin on his shoulder as to seal Our Fate inside distinct words are written in bold liar the siblings fight strategically tagging in and out of battle to treat their wounds in a battle of endurance the Siblings are forced to retreat until the stubborn eldest is left standing alone refusing to yield the brother is stricken down upon his death the remaining siblings create a cloud

of smoke that conceals the arena and carry their brother's corpse to safety now it had become personal sooner or later Vengeance would be served the Brotherhood are a reference to the Undertaker rabbits in the original tale where four black rabbits are summoned by The Blue Fairy they arrived carrying a coffin to convince Pinocchio that he had died this frights the boy into taking his medicine which he had initially refused entering the town hall we discover a portrait it pictures a beautiful boy with with a peevish expression but delicate face extremely Vivid paintings are said to

possess Souls sometimes D gray the genius painter denied all such conjectures however his death and the rumors about His paintings are still shrouded in a thick fog the portrait references Dorian Gray a man whose pursuit of Eternal Youth and Beauty led to him pledging his soul to his painting if only the portrait would bear the burden of age and infamy free of accountability Dorian strived for a life of Sensations sinking deeper and deeper into sin and Corruption whilst he maintained a young and beautiful facade his portrait would age and deform reflecting his shameful Actions this

portrait I remember it fondly memories of a happier time my son the boy in the picture is jepetto's son Carlo the portrait early resembles P revealing that when crafting his puppet jepetto created p in his son's likeness parallels can be drawn between Carlo's portrait and the story of Dorian Gray whereas doran's age and infamy manifested within his portrait Pinocchio's lies are reflected within Carlo's picture symbolized physically through the growth of his nose upon closer inspection p ended nose can be seen in his shadow if stood in the vicinity of the hotel CR Stargazer continuing we

arrive at a lift which leads to a room housing giangio he explains that he had discovered the gold coin tree turns out it was right beside the hotel lady Antonia was aware of this of course she sealed the tree away so that no one would fight for its Possession little did you know the black rabbit Brotherhood could access the tree from their quarters without Antonio's knowledge they stole gold coin fruit and supplied it to the Alchemists Jano states that he is unable to pick gold coin fruit as the tree resists him due to being Afflicted

with the petrification disease coming to Aid we acquire and present him with the fruit Upon returning to the hotel we report back to our creator the malum District Was as Grim as we feared was it not but with the black rabbit Brotherhood out of the picture we can focus Al where and why not strike at the root of the problem the king of Puppets Lair is on Rosa Isabel Street perhaps the puppet frenzy will come to an end if we can take down their King Rosa Isabell Street the entertainment capital of Kat different types of

art music and Opera performances brought color to the city The puppets worked while the people created art these were known as the days of beauty Roser Isabelle Street was named after the cultural sponsor lady Isabelle monad the monad family were credited for financing the monad charity house also nicknamed The Rose estate what originally began as a charity organization for poor children was later transformed into a boarding school with high quality welfare and education and this was all to the credit of the monad Family sponsorship however with the knowledge that lady Isabelle monad was married to

the former leader of The Alchemist valentinus monad their charity work reveals itself to be less genuine the intention behind financing the district is evidently in favor of The Alchemist holding more power within cat the cck disaster caused The Alchemist to fight among themselves many people died or went missing one of whom was valentinus himself now Rosa Isabel Street is the epicenter of the puppet frenzy a hell of fierce Fire and Blood that's the real tragedy of the Rose estate versing the streets we encountered Julian the gentleman my wife's body lies on Rosa Isabelle Street there

was a fire and I couldn't reach her through the Flames I know she's gone but I hate to think of her just lying there would you bring me her belongings then I'd have something to remember her by upon finding his wife's Body we come to the realization that she's a puppet Mr Jay fell in love with the maid puppet at first sight and they got married even in the face of his family's opposition but the Lover's secret wedding faced ruin the enraged family stormed in the husband was confused the puppet bride was greatly damaged on

her body we retrieve a wedding ring Oh My Melody this is her wedding ring our Marriage should have been filled with [Music] joy I failed you melody I'm sorry others laughed at me but I knew the truth I knew that she was in love with me too maybe I'm crazy though who ever heard of a human and a puppet in love here we must face our morality once again in speaking the truth we state that we've never seen that happen before the boy candid honesty shatters any hope Julian had clung on to not only had

he lost the love of his life but he now Bears the realiz ization that she likely never reciprocated his feelings in time Julian surrenders his own life the gentleman was anable to accept that his love had been a dream the lovers who never managed to gain anyone's blessing became one only after the heat had left their bodies alternatively if we choose to lie we informed Julian that his wife had left behind a message saying that She loves him a white lie is often what is needed in a time of crisis Melody My Melody your words

were everything to me although this may seem like a conclusive end it is often said that there are three sides to every story The Most Fascinating thing I couldn't believe it the writing on the back of a made puppet any way you look at it it's the maid puppet's words upon Revisiting the corpse of the maid would discover writing etched on the wall behind her the words read I Love You Julian in a twist of fate the boy's lie became the truth continuing on our adventure we arrive at a small Arena a spotlight points towards

a rotating puppet with a sword piercing its head upon interaction the white lady crashes the scene she immediately begins dueling the boy and states that this performance is Dedicated to her sister Adelina she appears uninterested in reasoning and Strikes with a vengeful spite in self-defense the boy lays the woman to rest the white lady is named Patricia from a very young age she along with her sister Adelina harbored ambitious dreams of becoming renowned actresses in their youth the siblings exchanged lockets as a symbol of their friendship Patricia's locket holds a portrait of a beautiful woman

in red to stand always on the Stage of our dreams together adelina's locket however holds a portrait of a pale girl stabbed repeatedly by a knife clearly something had caused a Schism in their friendship at least From adelina's perspective whilst Patricia wanted to shareing her dream Adelina sought the spotlight for herself it is said that Patricia's career as an actress was cut short when he poison took away her ability to sing the bird lost her voice but dreamt of the blue skies and dead That day was a tragic accident for all sisters the girl who

lost her Golden Voice became a stalker instead of an opera singer Patricia came to be known as the white lady following the surge of the puppet frenzy Patricia believed that her sister Adelina was killed and therefore dedicated a stage in her remembrance for every puppet she dismantled the stage would be adorned with new decorations unraveling the truth we learned that Adelina is still Alive and was the cause of patri 's tragic fate as the siblings began making a name for themselves the spotlight would always favor Patricia as her singing voice was unanimously loved by all

I used to be a fan of the actress Patricia not the red actress Adelina but her sister Patricia had an Angelic voice like her sister if she'd become famous they would have called her the white goddess consumed by the desire for fame and Glory Adelina grew jealous of her Own sibling and adopted to secretly poison her resulting in Patricia losing her vocals with her sister out of the picture Adelina would get the recognition she so desired she was praised by both audience and critics alike for her performances at the Estella Opera House the red actress

Adelina cord was labeled as the greatest Primadonna of our time during this time Adelina was in a relationship with a man known as the owl Doctor Who is a nod to One of the doctors in the original fairy tale in the story Pinocchio was hung by The Fox and the cat the pair left Pinocchio as they grew tired of waiting for his Suffocation the Blue Fairy discovered him and called for doctors to treat him the owl doctor proclaimed that Pinocchio was alive whereas the crow doctor pronounced him dead the relationship between the owl doctor and

Adelina is discovered through a letter which reads address elisian bivard 221B love Adelina the address 221B is Adelina home and also a reference to the apartment of Sherlock Holmes which is 221B Baker Street upon entering the apartment in question we find the owl doctor's clothing inside a safe the presence of his attire in adelina's apartment in conjunction with the letter being signed love Adelina reveals that the two were most likely a couple when the petrification disease spread the owl doctor assisted the Alchemists believing That they were attempting to create a cure we know however that

the so-called cure was actually an Elixir which severely warps those who embe it appalled by the actions of the Alchemists the doctor abandoned his post the alchemist's merciless experiments pushed him to his limit in his pain he denied reality and escaped into delusion I decided to give them Repose when they were still human this was his last vow before he lost his ego as a doctor the Man reached the conclusion that death was the only cure one which he would prescribe circling back to Adelina when the puppet frenzy insued she refused to leave the estellar

Opera House insisting on one last performance following her act the king of riddles fooled Adelina into remaining in her dressing room convincing her that it was the safest place to be soon after the building was overrun by puppets adelina's Sanctuary had become her prison making matters Worse she was infected with the petrification disease which took away her voice in a delivery of poetic justice Adelina would suffer the same fate as her sister Patricia no amount of spotlights or Applause would sway the approach of karma the universe does not carry deaths a taste of her own

medicine would lead to a mountain of regret weighing upon her Consciousness she now feels the emotional turmoil that her sister had dealt with and worse yet She's forced to await her inevitable end in a prison of her own making I can't stop stop death from taking me but I have enough strength to confess my sins Patricia I coveted your voice if I can't match it then even if I have to break you Adelina cord day must have it all I know it's wrong but Still I love [Music] you oh Patricia I'm so sorry inside the

theater room the stage is set for a performance the spotlight draws our attention to a particular puppet resembling jepetto the show begins with jepetto forcefully removing the heart from a puppet who resembles P he proceeds to play the heart into another puppet granting it life in the Process what appears to be a demonstration of satirical humor is an attempt by the king of Puppets to communicate a message to the boy a foreshadowing of future events nonetheless following the performance the king of Puppets appears and to our surprise extends his hand as an offering of Peace

his Advance is promptly rejected saddened by our unwillingness to cooperate the king turns hostile this adversary is gargantuan in size but his Sture only proves a hindrance when facing an imul stalker maneuvering around his labored swings the boy reads every Telegraph from the king of Puppets chopping at the legs the enemy helplessly Falls to its knees but the battle isn't over it is revealed that the machine is an Expendable suit of armor piloted by a human-sized puppet from within the true king emerges Romeo as the stakes reach their Pinnacle the theater lights up in a

blaze smoke and Embers permeate the arena on equal footing the two puppets fight tooth and nail for their existence in a hardfought battle the boy emerges the Victor outside the Opera House jepetto anxiously awaits now that the king is dead the puppets have no leader no Direction but the curse of the petrification disease still lingers it's tough but I know where you should go now the grand exhibition rumors say the Alchemists There have developed a cure as a man of invention I'm skeptical of the Alchemists both their science and their motives but they may be

the city's Last Hope returning to Hotel crat we pay a visit to Antonia it appears her Affliction has spread rapidly culminating in boils covering one side of her face as she looks Upon A Portrait of her younger self she Ponders if there is any resemblance between her current Self and the painting when posed with this question PE can choose to lie in order to comfort her an action which furthers his transformation into a human lying especially to soo someone after all is a very human trait before departing we find pandina at the hotel Fountain I

am a puppet whose ego has awoken I wish to dwell on the welfare of Lady Antonia I adore lady Antonia it is a presumptuous feeling for A puppet to have to be sure I have no intention of putting myself forward of course however I cannot watch her die it's too painful thus I need your unique perspective you exist somewhere between human and puppet can a puppet and a human fall in love at this moment we can show the wedding ring of Julian's wife who we know was a puppet this fills pandino with joy yet he

chooses to keep his love concealed as he worries it will Affect Antonia's already fragile being Sophia also makes note of the situation stating that the petrification disease locks people inside a cage inside their own bodies at this moment P's hair begins to grow in length a sign of the puppy it emerging Humanity continuing on our journey we eventually reached the grand exhibition the crack Grand exhibition was planned with the ambitious goal of spreading the fame of the city to the entire world had it gone According to plan the newest automated puppets would have demonstrated Kat's

technological prowess in an extravagant glass Palace what was supposed to be a celebration of Kat's greatest achievements instead became a mark of their failure further ahead we encounter Bell she recounts that those stationed at the Grand exhibition in bed a drug to add to this she speaks of the biological experiments scattered throughout the exhibition victims of the Alchemists she Requests us to clear a path so she may escape to safety delving deeper we encounter yet another subject of the Alchemists Champion Victor a man who had obtained strength beyond the realm of any mortal as he

begins to lose the fight he injects a blue liquid into his body a color that is early familiar to the petrification disease a concoction which strengthens his frame even further despite his colossal strength he is simply no match the gargantuan Champion Is cut down Victor was once a great wrestler dubbed the Hercules of crat he was loved by the people unfortunately the great warrior suffered from an incurable illness shattering His Image people realized he was merely Human After All due to the Affliction the champ perished with their scientific prowess The Alchemist brought him back to

life using their Elixir when he recovered his dwindled strength he swore absolute falty to the Alchemists Victor May have conquered death once but this time he shall stay dead as he wallows in his misery a metal great sword is thrust through his torso neutralizing Victor the Armament was thrown by a heavily armored Knight on the balcony accompanying them is Simon Manis himself the enigmatic leader of the Alchemists Victor was deemed a failure in his eyes as he was unable to slay jepetto's puppet for this he paid the ultimate price Simon notes the following I've Known

your father for a long time we used to be colleagues you know chipeto didn't understand that the petrification disease can strengthen humankind the disease does not signify death it's the process of purifying a person's Essence a purified human who overcomes the petrification disease will gain a strengthened body and a mind free of Lies lostly he invites us to the aisle of Alchemists to witness his greatest Achievement evidently Simon believes in the evolution of both humans and puppets by utilizing the petrification disease those who survive the process become strong and resilient like Champion Victor for now

we part ways with Simon Manis close by we encounter the Black Cat and red fox once more they request a gold coin fruit in return we are rewarded with a record quixotic the word quixotic means to be extremely idealistic and unrealistic it originated From a tale of a character known as Don Cote the man believed he was a chivalrous Knight embarking on an adventure in a magical world his tale is humorous from the audience's perspective as he appears delusional his escapades leading to Whimsical actions on his part however the record sings of this tale from

Don cot's perspective although viewed as a comedy by many truthfully it is more of a tragedy he clings to an idealistic image of himself and the World a fantasy that exists in the mind of a Madman Don Cote lives a tragedy of his own making if you stop dreaming your heart will stop too so I will confront it the story of the night Desperately Seeking the truth even in the Illusions created by the devil quig zootic approaching the monal we are contacted by venini through an ergo based communication device in order to reach the aisle

of Alchemists we must first utilize something known as golden Ergo According to venini we can acquire this at the baron swamp a daunting task as the Meer is set to be overrun with Twisted monsters before we continue on our journey we make our way to Hotel Kat firstly we converse with Eugene she requests us to give alidoro who has ventured to the baron swamp a four-fingered glove uniquely it only has four fingers Eugene vividly remembered the stalker who saved her from the workshop Tower right before she starved To death as we pass PA andina he

mentions that Antonia's condition has worsened she has lost hope hope due to the Revelation that the Alchemists at the Grand exhibition were not developing a cure their Elixir was for evolution not for treatment he advises us to find an alchemist that can utilize the gold coin fruit to develop a remedy with this knowledge in hand we converse with giangio as he has a particular interest in the golden tree giangio using the Fruit is able to develop a medicine of source The Cure is the difference between a short but painless life life and a long but

agonizing one reluctantly we administer the cure to Antonia granting her a small window of relief before her encroaching end next we speak with Sophia in regards to Simon Manus she remarks he is the most dangerous man in crat he spreads Mayhem and death for a delusion he calls Evolution that's why I woke you up if you can't save crot from Simon no one can additionally she Ponders why she was given the powers of a listener she has come to the conclusion that Ergo reached out to her wanting someone to hear it was once human or

that it wanted someone to remember it perhaps a God or an angel she goes on to say that the Alchemists have corrupted everything in particular she notes the gold coin tree is a pathetic Creature they created from the listeners like many of their Creations it's tragic but useful you can control arago with gold coin fruits the sad tears of those who became trees if they get the chance the Alchemists might force me to make such a tree them or something even more tragic don't let the sacrifice of the alchemist's victims be in vain With the

fruit they lend their strength to you you honor their sacrifice their grief and [Music] tears in hopes of acquiring golden UR go we head to the baron swamp the baron swamp was originally vacant useless land it became a massive Dumping Ground when the factory started disposing of Puppets the polluted groundwater spawned strange creatures and rumors Whisper of Rare treasure in a monster's Nest during our far we encounter alidoro in the distance he mutters to himself that he has made a bargain with the Alchemists a deal which involves the residents of the hotel in some way

an ominous statement from the stalker it seems the people at the hotel are in danger and that his Allegiance lies with the Alchemists as promised we deliver Eugene's gift he claims he does not remember her for he has saved countless Lives during his career in reference to the gloves he States they are a mess for they do not fit his hands he goes on to say my God I never did like that good she's just like him never mind angrily he orders us to get out of his sight strangely alidor personality does not resemble that

of a hero his character is the opposite of what others would paint him as for now we leave him behind should we return to Eugene and Tell her the truth stating that alidoro detested the gloves she would say what his fingers are fine that can't be right when the workshop Tower collapsed the Hound lost a finger saving me a shocking Revelation if true the alidoro we converse with had all five fingers which explains his distaste for the four-fingered gloves alidoro is not the man we believed him to be back to the swamp we come across

a broken puppet Similar to us he is not bound by the grand Covenant he proclaims that he is hated by monsters humans and puppets but he desires to be friends with humans the puppet wants to learn emotions and feelings we can teach him some by performing gestures in front of him for this he is eternally grateful in essence each emotion he learns brings him a step closer to humanity his plight resembles that of the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz a man who searches for a heart so he Can feel human emotion as we

Traverse the decrepit terrain we encounter rookie exploor or Hugo he queries if we know a treasure hunter by the name of alidoro his admiration of the man and his treasure Hunting Expeditions has led him on his own adventure one where he follows in his footsteps however he has reached a dead end a gate prevents him from venturing further interestingly he mentions that alidor is wanted but he does not believe the accusations since Aladora was a hero someone who famously saved the lives of those in the workshop Tower collapse he hands was a wanted poster a

con man who calls himself a treasure hunter wears a Hound mask charged with fraud impersonation theft assault and other serious crimes he's very good at tricking people so watch out as evidence mounts it is clear that the aladora we know is nothing but a fraud one that has stolen the identity of Kat's hero in the perimeter we Discover a centuries notebook a record of observations in regards to the monster is recorded within why in the world is that thing even here in crat I thought they were joking when the city dispatched me to catch the

monster this thing sucks Ergo from scrapped puppets before playing with what's left I think that green guy was made by The Alchemist for sure how else can they ignore our backup requests like this why did they send us are we prey not Hunters yet Again the likely culprit behind the birth of this Abomination is the Alchemists at last we confront the creature of the swamp the puppet devouring green monster no one knows where the green monster of the swamp came from some think he was produced from Kat's wrath in the second phase it commanders a

Watchman puppet combining its Decay with the strength of an automaton avoiding its decaying slime and iron fists we are able to destroy The creature not only do we obtain its Essence but also the golden Ergo mentioned by venini having conquered the entity alidoro speaks out to was revealing that he used us as bait so he could obtain the final hero weapon for his treasured collection at hotel crat Antonia appears to have been cured of her illness she thanks us profusely for this miracle with her Newfound Health she requests a dance we play the piano to

celebrate this occasion while Antonio Motions along approaching alidoro he Nots that the final treasure was a saber from overseas we can obtain this sword by exchanging the Urgo of the green monster the blade in question is the two dragon sword they say it was the saber of a commander from a quiet Eastern land the weapon itself is based on a Korean sword known as a juando in addition Eugene recognizes the craftmanship stating it reminds her of Home suggesting Korea is her potential Homeland in the East back to alidoro when confronted with the wanted poster he

says there is an unscrupulous reporter called called Maduro and he's the epitome of yellow journalism and he only writes favorable articles if you bribe him one time I didn't give him a certain antique he wanted and he slandered me just like this madoro is a reference to a character of the same name in the Fable of Pinocchio he answers to the Blue Fairy and commanders A stage coach in regards to alidoro can we trust the words of a known liar that's odd alidoro and madoro are friends when I was hurt he took me to madoro

who was one of the first on the scene madoro is quite the medic he saved me when the workshop Tower fell the alidoro I admire would never talk about a friend like that in times like these when truth and lies are blurred the only thing to believe is your gut instinct about a person Hugo reaffirms that he Trusts alidoro somewhat contradicting his own statement about about trusting one's gut instinct back at the hotel we converse with venini utilizing the golden Ergo the purest form of power he's able to craft a golden lead acid battery this

is the material that venini said he needed to find a way to get to the aisle of Alchemists special Ergo power enabled venini to move the giant submarine to uncover his vessel venini points Us in the direction of Antonia Stating she may hold the answer Antonia tells us of a secret path beneath the hotel connected to a secret hideout belonging to the Alchemists a location where urgo's vein was first discovered long ago prior to the spread of the petrification disease the hotel worked hand inhand with the Alchemists leading to Antonia having knowledge of their operations

shifting Focus we returned to where the green monster Was Defeated following the path forward we eventually Circle back to Kat's Central Station now decimated by hords of infected puppets and an earthquake that has ripped the land apart crystals have also sprouted from the ground further devastating the region crat is but a shadow of the technological Marvel it once was at the Central Station platform we can ReDiscover the chair in which we first awakened concealed behind a wall is a hidden puppet Workshop jepetto's Tools are scattered throughout displaying that This secret room belonged to him found

within is a letter de jepetto's puppet who will come to this Workshop train I'm really thankful to you a workshop train hidden by jepetto isn't that something if not for you how would I have found this place unfortunately for jepetto I have the ability to read someone's memories in malum District I had a hunch they thought that if they followed you jepetto's puppet they'd find The Relic he stole and that hunch was right The Relic has been returned to our sacred place now that the stage is set the doors will open thank you you are

a good guide signed SM the initials SM refer to Simon Manis it appears as though jepetto had stolen a sacred Relic and by retracing our steps Simon was able to retrieve the item at this time it is unknown what this Relic refers to after a while we reach a collapsed pathway vast crystals have emerg from the ground spewing a gaseous poison known as Disruption a fatal toxin progressing further we come across a lift as we Ascend the device malfunctions and Sophia cries out to us stating that the hotel is under attack and we must hurry

back Upon Our return we can see that the building has been ransacked a large Banner with the word hypocrite is draped from the ceiling only safia remains below while the others appear to have barricaded themselves in jepetto's office you're alive I was worried Because I didn't hear from you the stalkers have kidnapped jepetto it was the fox the cat and the black rabbit Brotherhood but really I sense Simon is behind this during our absence the hotel was attacked by the stalkers employed by the Alchemists undeniably the Fay cadoro was also involved in this plot according

to Eugene he disabled the hotel security system and then vanished leaving the premise open for attack the events that Have trans inspired at the hotel explain his previous statement at the swamp where he cursed the Alchemists either way he elected to side with the Enemy approaching the barricaded room Eugene opens the door likening us to the Hound that once saved her in the past Antonia stays the Alchemists plant the whole thing my portrait behind it lies a passageway to their base play this chord on the piano in my room it'll open the secret Passageway and

you can save jetto as the others leave the room Antonia remarks that she must stay within the office her isolation hints that the disease within her has not been eradicated completely to add to this poina notes that the shock of the Ambush may have worsened her already frail condition it is worth mentioning that Sophia did not hide away like the others also the inhabitants of Hotel Kat never acknowledge her her existence Sophia Speaks to us through Ergo suggesting we are merely seeing a projection of her one that is only visible to us next we speak

with venini pointing out that he has made a breakthrough discovering that the king of Puppets used carefully measured Ergo wavelength to control other puppets the puppets were being compelled by the grand Covenant but they were communicating with each other with wavelength They were not built with this kind of intelligence I did the best I could to decipher the wavelengths but there was considerable noise in the signal care to give it a listen Carlo I hope you can hear me the laws of the grand Covenant bind us we're his puppets first law all puppets must obey

their Creator's commands law zero the Creator's name Is jeedo jepe jepo when this message is relayed to venini he is stunned by the Revelation that jepetto had created La zero without his awareness fenini reaches the conclusion that japeta was the source of the puppet frenzy by abusing the hidden law he was able to turn the puppet into a personal Army to achieve his own own objective venini also recounts his past noting that he was an orphan as his Parents were murdered before his very eyes the authorities of Kat informed him that the crime was a

mugging but venini knew the truth a puppet massacred his parents a puppet driven by the Ergo of a murderer in the past the killer even contacted venini and unveiled his name arino it appears when the Ergo within a puppet awakens they often times assume the ident identity of the person whose Ergo is within them this is not the case for all puppets however as we ourselves At this point appear to be evolving into our own character as opposed to adopting the personality of another we are then given the king of poppet message by venini Carlo

I hope you can hear me I'm Romeo we grew up together in the monad charity house remember we're best friends I'm doing what I can to fend off both the petrification disease and the Alchemists my puppets and I are taking a Stand against death itself that's why I tried sending you Messengers but you got rid of them all you're still an Unstoppable fellow I remember you no reason for us to fight I suppose Romeo refers to us as Carlo stating that they were friends in their past life solidifying that caros Ergo the son of jepetto

is held within P it also explains why Romeo attempted to reach out to us during the Fatal Encounter at the time we were unaware of the king's true intentions and as such chose to retaliate instead Romeo had sent out Messengers in the form of the parade master and his flame foko but this too was ignored due to a lack of understanding of the puppet's language Romeo appears to be more akin to a hero than a ancal Mastermind that commanded the frenzy as jepetto led us to believe the puppet maker has much to answer for speaking

with bell she tells us that she Has received a distress signal from her partner Atkinson a signal originating from crat Central Station a place rampant with a petrification disease in one of the train carriages we discover a blighted individual clutching his stomach and vomiting blood still conscious he reveals he is Atkinson as the suburbs were sealed off he was unable to escape the plague his final wish is as follows if you meet someone named Bell In the city tell her Atkinson died a soldier before we depart he gives us a letter to deliver to Bell

pend in Inc is the following my dearest Belle I remember the day I met you through your father's friend that day the steam of cat Central Station was thick on the platform and a flock of birds was flying overhead above the glass ceiling there I was waiting For you when I saw a lady take one step down those stairs I knew it was you your eff vescent laughter left an impression on me I'm at the train station and it reminds me of you from that time we were colleagues at first and then lovers but I

still can't let you go the way you smiled and looked forward to the exhibition and Festival those beautiful nights with the fireworks I just can't let go so if we are to survive and make it out of here I plan to visit you with This letter please stay safe and wait for me until then sincerely Atkinson two choices are laid before us tell Belle the truth that her partner became a monster or lie and state he was killed in action fighting a puppet choosing the former Belle would go to the station in search of him

her corpse could then be found laying beside Atkinson implying he butchered her conversely giving her the message will result in her stating the following this this is Atkinson's Handwriting on the letter sometimes you meet people who make you believe they'll always be with you but a life can be snuffed out at any moment I need to stay alive to notify others of his death but it feels like something inside me has died as well anyway I appreciate knowing what happened I mean it Bell gifts as a record titled why it aptly describes Bell an Atkinson

situation a world I did not know when I was in the tower the flower you gave me the world you showed me made me happy my memories are burning leaving only the question of why behind where does love begin why a song of aching love and Whispers Bell and Atkinson are a subtle reference to the story of Beauty and the Beast Belle of course represents her counterpart in the tale and Atkinson embodies the Beast a monster with a heart of gold adhering to Anton's instructions we play a specific chord on the piano opening a hidden

path concealed behind her painting through this chamber we arrive at the relic of trism magistus a special report written by the journalist Maduro sheds light on this secretive area The Alchemist paved the way for cat's golden age and no one denies the fact but what if instead of gold they were to cause an unprecedented disaster being a reporter I received a surprising message from an informant who Was once an alchemist himself it's about a stranger from across the ocean an alchemist from the Far East who was once famous in Kat he learned of the group

sec secret and quit and he now uses a different identity out of fear for his safety the relic of trism magistus is not a simple Ergo mine that place is dangerous my source claimed that the Alchemists have an ulterior motive one not for the benefit of the city and that they have a very risky plan involving Ergo the conspiracy theory about how hundreds of people can die sounded Preposterous but the evidence provided had a surprising amount of credibility to it so as a reporter I spent months with the Informer and was able to see the

Dark Side of crat I intended to deliver my report for the benefit of the citizens madoro was swiftly banned by his superiors at the newspaper a means to suppress the spread of information probably ordered by the Alchemists the Reporter Knew Too Much in the end madora would die alone in the baron swamp my friends are the only thing that comes to mind in my final moments lumio is ill Sophia is missing lorenzini lost hope H is dead and here I am madoro we risked our lives and fought from each post but sometimes there are no

rewards still some things are left something even power and lies can't hide the truth someone will unearth the truth someone will unveil the LIE taking the extra Step forward for the people coming behind I believe that was my role I am madoro the reporter my weapon was my pen and the truth now I leave my records to you who visit this place from Maduro deeper still we are confronted Once More by the black rabbit Brotherhood located in the center of the room is a coffin housing the corpse of the eldest after dealing with the trio

the resurrected sibling bursts forth from the coffin the stalker has been Granted life once more through the experiments of the Alchemists a Remer of the lens many would go to to see a loved one return having been conquered once before the eldest is felled and with that the black rabbit Brotherhood is no more in the immediate vicinity alidor can be seen cowering in fear he mentions that the red fox and black cat have taken jepetto to the alchemist's aisle using a submarine at the Docks nearby when interrogated about why he was Involved in the attack

at the hotel he remarked that he made a deal with the Alchemists who promised him safe passage out of crat should we ask him about his true identity he reveals that he is not alidoro the Hound I used to be alidoro partner I admired him to be honest he was amazing amazing at everything except making a profit that is but he didn't need to cut me off just because I sold some antiques I mean what's a few do antiques when you've got Bills to pay we argued one thing led to another I had to kill

him but stealing his identity was The Logical Next Step my original code name is parrot after all fitting isn't it oh he was also from the country of the morning maybe he shares some blood with the girl a truly fateful end for selfless man who defended the people people alidoro was driven by a desire to do good for others Whereas his Partners lay in the pursuit of coin and treasure explaining the parrot's false sense of bravado and aloof attitude towards others as well as his occupation as a merchant of rare trinkets if we choose to

attack parrot he'll be shocked that we are not bound by the grand Covenant meaning we can kill humans upon his corpse is alidoro cryptic vessel one unlocked we can read the message within dear beloved sister please forgive your brother for leaving Without telling you anything I'm being chased because I know the biggest secret of crat I'll probably be able to see you if the Alchemists are gone from this land but I'll have to watch you from afar until that day I plan to protect you until at least we can live here in peace just like

how I saved you from the workshop Tower it would be wonderful if people learn the truth one day but some truths are better left unknown among the Alchemists I saw all too often how cruel Humans can become after seeing all the experiments and Nightmares they are responsible for I came to believe that there is no God instead of revealing myself and risking your life I'll choose to vanish forever still please remember me if you ever read this letter we came from across the wide ocean I know people here call you eugeni as their way for

that name will protect you please remember your real name your name is the letter abruptly ends before revealing Eugene's true name all along cratz hero alidoro was none other than Eugene's brother parrot's disdain towards Eugene now makes sense he was aware that she was related to the real alidoro if this was discovered it would shatter his False Image leading him to keep alidoro final message hidden within a cryptic vessel Eugene's brother Having learned of The Alchemist Wicked Ways distan himself from his sister to conceal his identity he adopted the mantle of Alidoro the Hound a

way for him to protect his sister from afar and atone for his involvement with the Alchemists while working for them he became an informant to Maduro the reporter spilling the truth of their barbaric experiments over time the two formed an Inseparable Bond when Maduro published his findings in the local newspaper titled Special Report foreigners conf confession he was fired the confession was from alidoro a foreigner from the East madoro was friends with Sophia and venini a person's character can be defined by the company they keep madoro much like the Hound was a noble character the

pirate attempted to tarnish His Image saying he was corrupt a journalist who was bribed to write false articles every step of the way the pirate attempted to throw us off the trail luckily for parate nobody had ever seen Al ador's face due to his hunting dog mask as such upon his death parro Took up The Hound's name and image abusing it for self-interest and self-preservation leading to him being labeled a criminal wanted by the authorities parrot even sided with the Alchemists aiding them in their attack on the hotel an act that would be Unthinkable for

the real alidoro in Wake of this revelation we returned to the hotel to converse with Eugene news travels fast as she has already learned of alidoro death when told the truth Eugene responds I did some sleuthing my older brother's Mark is part of the decryption he used a mark of the country of the morning I have no choice but to believe it's real after all we are the only people here who would use that Mark why did my brother leave what could it mean if he knew the secrets of The Alchemist and crot I'm so

angry does he think he's better than everyone trying to protect Me from a distance he could have at least said something all I wanted was a chance to meet my real family the truth behind the tale of alidoro is a somber one indeed a guardian who protected his sister from the Shadows when he got too close to the truth he opted for the path of solitude to protect his family with his passing and relationship to his sister concealed she will remain safe parate chose to Hide the truth of alidoro death as it would be against

his own interests alidoro in the Public's eye fell from hero to Villain at least his secret was taken to the Grave even in death he protected his sister paret now vanquished Hugo has taken up the station of alidoro believing that the false adoro was the hero of Legend he attempts to imitate him and continues to Pedal Wares turning back to the relic of trism magistus at the Docks we activate a Lever to call forth a submarine to Grant his passage to the aisle of Alchemists the submarine was crafted by venini as confirmed by a poster

found close by you're all invited to the launching ceremony of venini company's new submarine the peace trees peace trees is the Latin word for fish some say the submarine was modeled after the terrible Dogfish or monstro sharks and whales from the taale of Pinocchio regardless we Commander the submarine and make our Way across the harsh Seas to the fabled aisle of [Music] [Applause] [Music] Alchemists [Music] standing alone in the barren desert illuminated by a single Lantern stand Sophia I am finally meeting you here you're a clever one so it shouldn't surprise you that the sopia

at the hotel Isn't really me my real self is on the upper part of the Abbey I became his tool a long time ago I have endured such pain my soul split into pieces truth is I guided you this far not to save crot but to save me my spirit and my body have lived apart for too long perhaps in Death they will reunite in peace if you find my body please help me find peace my guidance ends here initially sofhia instructed P to save Kat but this was never her true intention she requests us

to free her to sever the bonds placed upon her by Simon Manis after images of memories rage on the seaside a torrent of Ergo flows through the cold desert memories of Those who came before manifest on the sand before us we see Carlo asking when he can go home questioning when his father japeto will return a woman responds that the boy should go play with Romeo Romeo asks Carlo if he is training to be a stalker he gives no response in another recollection we see Carlo knelt on the ground sobbing as Romeo Comforts him the

boy weeps for his father who did not attend his graduation he goes on to say that he does not care Should his father die as we move through the desert the Visions continue now slightly older Carlo begs the legendary stalker to teach him the ways of the sword she refuses and asks giny to get rid of them interestingly this legendary stalker was accompanied by giny confirming that she was his previous partner the legendary stalker is witnessed once more this time she stands over Carlo who has perished a victim of the petrification disease the lady is

Filled with regret had she accepted the boy's request and agreed to train him perhaps he would have survived undoubtedly within P lies the Ergo of Carlo the young child who passed in the Visions Romeo is also present in the memories he too met an ill-fated end at the hands of the disease Tales speak of the legendary stalker she was neither a bastard nor a sweeper and walked her own path to stack up her many outstanding achievements winding back the clock to a Fateful Encounter with the black rabbit's Brotherhood they attempted to discern our combat style

this was due to our peculiar abilities similar to the legendary stalker who had her own unique fighting style insinuating that the Fable stalker may have used the path of the cricket one of the options presented to us When selecting our starting weapon the path of the cricket is a fitting Choice considering the legendary stalker was accompanied by geminy there is more To the stalker than meets the eye when jepetto learned of the outbreak at the Rose estate perhaps he dispatched the warrior to rescue his son at this point she may have returned Carlo's body to

his father curiously there appears to be signs of a mortal struggle close to jepetto's Hidden Workshop could it be that jepetto neutralized a stalker and gmany P needed to be Adept in combat to survive the perils which lay ahead perh perhaps the Craftsman placed her ergo in PE and gines in a puppet to act as his guide throughout the course of our journey the cricket slowly regained his memories however key fragments remain missing we will never truly know what resulted in his demise but jepetto is the most likely culprit All That Remains is to enter

the arch Abbey a landmark situated deep in the desert ascending the labyrinthine tower we are reunited with black cat the stalker knows he will kill us to to protect his sister unless We give him a gold coin fruit granting this request he wallows about the current state of his life I'm sick of it I'm sick of crat sick to death of just surviving hurting stealing kidnapping surviving when the hell does it end black cat has conjured a plan to leave Kat with his sister to start fresh as a family he goes on to say that

jepetto is safe and plays with us to leave his sister be having spared the stalker we obtain his mask before the boy who had Lost his sight closed his eyes for the last time he thought of how he had lied that he was her lost younger brother and how much he wished that it had been the truth red fox was manipulated by black cat into thinking he was her sibling and means to protect himself in spite of this black cat grew to love red fox viewing her as one of his own found deep within the

chambers of the Abbey we discover the final Trinity door a decimated puppet lies against a broken Wall showing signs of severe injury the puppet is a mobile Hanging On by a thread the ominous figure is none other than the histrionic king of riddles arino the King has one last question are you a puppet or a human [Music] being which one are you if we decide to answer human arino will agree yes we are human we may be trapped By Argo but we live we think we love we hate they have locked us in the prison

they call puppetry I learned this truth long long ago that is why I've been exacting my revenge against them all ever sense even if you're lying right now even if you don't believe your own answer the truth is Clear Proof is evident only humans practice deception so intensely for reasons that are so Unnecessary additionally he explains that rhyming helps him maintain focus and suppress his insatiable urge to kill a desire he feels every waking moment alino also explains the purpose of the tower it exists to absorb all the Ergo in crat strategically built on this

aisle as it's the most efficient place in the world to study and utilize Ergo wavelengths although arino seems to Harbor the intent of a human who was a serial killer he shows a shred of Empathy when he tells us that the goddess in the tower is worth saving even the murderer puppet holds sopia in high regard due to her power and boundless knowledge on the topic of whether he is a serial killer arino confirms our assessment the king of riddles recounts how he tortured the man he once served to discover the location of the aisle

of Alchemists he believes that Humanity sullied its own sanctum long before he found it blasphemed Against itself and against the puppets he denounced their hubris for attempting to play God when questioned whether he is a murderer arino rejects the title preferring instead to call himself an artist stating that humans call puppets murderers to restrain them to deny their strength and power on the subject of Vini the king States the following Vini a beautiful fool but a fool nonetheless and did he ever thank me for making him an orphan with my bare hands For giving him

everything he has on a silver platter by removing the dead weight holding him back huh of course I'm not sorry it was a delectable murder of the many many I have committed since the vinis they have to be my personal favorites they engineered the very first automated puppets enslaved puppets without even understanding what they done I didn't go there to take revenge For what his parents did I mainly just wanted to slaughter them because they were so damned happy while recounting the past arino recalls how vini's parents begged for their son's life at that moment

he exercised his Free Will sparing venini not out of pity but instead curiosity he pondered if the boy would grow into a traumatized individual for Life become a coward a vengeful puppet tating bigot or if he would fling himself into the sea and above all he Wondered if inini would remember him concerning the Alchemists he dubs them as artless but is thankful that he got to see venini suffer twice due to their exploits in crat elated with his achievement alakina proclaims that venini is his magnum opus finally he places in our hand the moon World

Warrior toy a gift for us to pass to venini a final insult a momento so the artist is never forgotten a souvenir from the family murders obtained from The king of riddles arino it is someone's handiwork left unfinished the boys's thoughtful parents wanted to make a toy inspired by the warrior in the fantastic movie for their beloved Son however the toy was never finished in the case of arino we can choose to end his life here a form of Justice or we can spare his life and see what becomes of him just as arino once

did to venini showing venini the toy he is a astonished that we made contact with his Parents killer the toy reminds him of better times the toy my parents made me you've met him arino we had just watched one of my favorite films I remember I begged them to make me the Warrior from it if I hadn't would my parents still be alive would we have been Untouched by that murderous puppet I've always blamed myself it's a hell of a burden for a Child that kind of guilt so I hung on I hung on to

the Grand Covenant the name arino is the Italian word for Harlequin a reference to a marionette created from the same tree as Pinocchio in the original story P chinella calls out to us stating he has been awakened when vini's parents perished the child felt alone in the world were it not for p chinella perhaps venini would never have achieved greatness there is comfort in knowing Venini did not face his troubles alone the truth regarding Gino being a puppet was concealed a conscious Choice made by venini to protect Panella for he would have been removed from

the household and most likely neutralized now in the present day P chinella had finally realized how deeply the murderous puppet had scarred vini's soul with the death of alino P chinella claims we have freed his master a Trauma from the past can now be put to rest to conclude arino Believed himself to be an artist a revolutionary that fought against humanity the race which Enslaved the puppets as puppets were brought to life through Ergo human Souls trapped in porcelain prisons when he peered into the world en vision by the Alchemists a seed of hatred for

Humanity was planted in his heart from that moment he stopped at nothing to toy with their lives as they had done to his kind regardless of whether they were guilty or not vowing To kill anything that resembles a human in reality arino was merely a sadistic killer he himself confessed that he only spared venini to see whether suffering would lead him only the most depraved of individuals would make art of their victims in his pursuit of ridding the world of the Alchemists he ventured to the arch Abbey a place which would become his prison and

eventually his tomb in the face of adversity he crumbled and was swiftly broken and Caged the last thing he ever wanted in cat the fact that he was a puppet was never revealed and the authority stated the problematic murdering puppet was captured by stalker trackers and destroyed aro's actions were the Catalyst for the introduction of the grand Covenant in his Rebellion for Freedom he inadvertently further Enslaved the puppets during his imprisonment boredom quickly sunk in he conjured a plan to pass the long hours By utilizing some of Sophia's Powers he could make phone calls and

deliver riddles to frighten the citizens of Kat parents would tell their children those who answer him incorrectly would be eaten by the king of riddles suffice to say that the populist was unaware that the King was indeed a murderer one with a heart of work what would the great artist arino think fenini is no longer Shuckle to the past and the legacy of arino is merely a bedtime story to scare Children encroaching upon the tower we arrive at a bridge our Advance is halted by a great sword wielding Knight the same Warrior that executed Champion

Victor before long the hulking Knight is brought to their knees under the thick plated armor stands laxaria the complete shedding her armor and weapon she calls out to Simon Manis drawn from the skies lashin wreaths her blade in lightning tearing the skies aunder a storm batters the bridge laxaria sword of Manis swears To uphold her duty to protect the tower at full power without the Restriction of her armor she is able to maneuver through the sky at incredible speeds leaping into the air she calls forth her thunderous Powers launching lethal projectiles unwavering we confront laxaria

head on evading the devastating impact of her blade and shield matching every strike we are able to deflect the elemental Force back to its sender slicing through the rain laxaria the Complete is eliminated behind her the tower begins to crumble under the weight of the Ergo absorbed by Simon's machine as life Slips Away luxasia cries out oh Sir Simon only you were the one eye she passes away before completing her sentence inspecting her ergo it is discovered that the Alchemist Adriana was baptized by The Elixir and she became the first whole being everything about her

was perfect except the fact that her feelings for one person could Not be erased reflecting on her final statement prior to passing we can surmise that despite having undergone a successful transformation process her feelings for the person she coveted the most Simon Manis could not be erased nonetheless she was titled the complete as she represents a near perfect effect Evolution The Alchemist aimed to replicate this by spreading their Elixir through crat evidently they were somewhat correct in their assessment Using the Elixir and the petrification disease some can evolve into greater beings sparing them to continue

their goal of evolving the human race no matter the cost prior to her Evolution she had hoped to become Simon's sword and perfect Shield when she was finally complete as luxasia she chose to become the iron armor Warrior without hesitation on the surface laxaria may seem cold a warrior with an Iron Will and Heart of Stone yet she always loved Simon Manis but he did not feel the same using her ergo we can forg the weapon urab boris's eye philippus paracelsus was a legend even among the Alchemists the moon sword he made by modeling the

uroborus mark symbolized wholeness at the hotel pandina sorrowfully announces the death of Lady Antonia he knows that Antonia was calm and painless during her passing thanks to us as for himself he States I am the of Emotion my life or what passes for it has lost meaning instead of mourning the loss of his love pandina chooses instead to erase his heart and become an ordinary puppet a tragedy that a person who gave gain true life chose to cast it away as they could not process the painful human emotions associated with loss however it was a

choice made from his own free will upon her wheelchair we discover a cherry scented letter written by the late Antonia to the wonderful gentleman who gave my precious time back to me that time I met you was light itself whether you're that child or not I think you're a kind Precious Child thank you for giving my joy back to me in my last moments to the young gentleman who resembles Carlo beyond the bridge we at last meet Sophia in the flesh her body contorted and bound in a cage a tortured prisoner of Simon Manis papers

can be seen on a Board nearby detailing the cruel experiments to which he was subjected upon the wall we see a single blue butterfly representing the Blue Fairy Sophia save me it hurts so so much I Want to Be Free Please geminy is paralyzed by the choice leaving the decision to us keeping her alive is likely against her will but to Grant her peace is to give her death we Decide to abide by her choice I was trapped for so long so much torment so much pain take my [Music] Aro I will be with you

to the very end as the fairy dissipates our dark hair lightens to an ashen gray perhaps resembling our creator jepetto indicating our further increase of humanity Sophia was the daughter of Valentinus the previous leader of the Alchemists and Isabelle monad when her powers awakened she vanished from the public eye as she was abducted by Simon Sophia confirmed that she awakened us for the sole reason of granting her death a carefully designed plan tracing back many years Carlo and Romeo grew up in the Mona charity house a place where orphans were given High Level Training so

they could become Workshop technicians stalkers or Alchemists based On their aptitude as we know a disaster struck the charity house when the petrification disease broke out and claimed the lives of all within after Carlo's passing his urger was placed in PE due to her time manipulation Powers Sophia was able to Keep Us Alive indefinitely until she could be rescued we also have free will therefore the grand covenant could not prevent us from saving her with everything in place Sophia set her plan into motion Awakening us on the train and granting a moonphase pocket watch her

plan was was a success though it took a heavy toll on P's heart yet reminded him he was truly human visiting her cage we obtained the shadow flower record its lyrics provide a window into Sophia's turmoil the Shadow Flowers singing alone in the rain your memory is from him I'm searching for you in my fading memories but I don't see you believe anymore show me the light keep me please take me out of This crushing Darkness show me the light keep me in your heart I long for you and I sleep alone again tonight alone

in the dark Sophia awaited the one who could show her peace subjected to experiments that ripped apart her mind and soul she could only hope for death a light pierced the darkness her cries were answered Sophia can rest peacefully within our heart near the top of the tower red fox makes an appearance her service to The Alchemist seems to be at an end they never cured black cat only strung them along with the hopes of curing his vision giving her one last gold coin fruit Red Fox shows her appreciation and knows with the amount of

fruit given to him it may cure his Affliction entirely red fox apologizes for our mistreatment acknowledging that we were the only one who was ever kind to her and her brother lastly she tells us that japet will awaits us unharmed before leaving she Gives us her mask after turning her back on her house her sole interest was her younger brother she had found on the streets she had sensed the boy's guilt long before but she accepted him as her sole family she knew all along that black cat was not her brother despite this she accepted

him as family after turning her back on her own found within the Abbey is a bundle of old letters the message is addressed to Valentina monad meaning it was written during his tenure From the contents of the letter we learn that the Vol house fun Ed the construction of the Alchemist zator laboratory the letter also reads you Alchemists know and handle so many things I had no idea that place known as The Devil's Pit had so much value but when a gold mine or a secret is revealed you can't put the cat back in the

bag don't worry about the construction workers we'll take care of it real clean don't forget if you look down or try to Trick us it's not only the workers who will disappear till next time I see you I'm looking forward to a beneficial Exchange in the name of the old houses vul the Vol family swore to eliminate the laborers who built the facility to prevent the spread of information regarding its true purpose when The Alchemist brought prosperity to Kat their rise was meteoric in turn the power of the old families began to dwindle and so

some such as the house of Wul forged an unsteady alliance with the Alchemists unafraid to bloody their hands the VA family clung to power by knowingly funding the Alchemists and the sadistic experiments for their hand in this Claudia abandoned her house ironically she started working for the Alchemists in an attempt to cure black cat's Vision in spite of all their troubles through their resolve and undying Devotion to one another they were able to succeed in the end at long Last we are reunited with jepetto a final request comes from the Craftsman to eliminate The Mad

Alchemist Simon his aim was to become a God by using the vast amounts of Ergo gathered within the tower strangely he Ponders was I a trustworthy father to you such a question would plant a seed of doubt in anyone's mind should we say yes he replies I see I have the courage to carry on Because of You by answering yes we Indirectly give him the strength to continue lying conversely had we said no he would respond I wasn't a very good father to you I gave you more loneliness than love that's my burden to bear

the truth spills from his lips japeto gave Carlo a life of solitude he grants us the arch Abbey passageway key Simon Manus did not want any interruptions in completing his great Enterprise this Enterprise R was a ridiculous plan to bring God back to Life reaching the summit of the tower we come across the confession of Simon Manis as well as a portrait of sofhia his staff is also placed close by containing strands of the blue fairy's hair a father is like God to his son even I Simon was no different in my youth but the

one who created me was no normal human and my abilities were extraordinary you're a failure too the ability to read mine being abandoned in front of God meant The world's destruction from then on my life existed to make a world without lies a world where no one betrays you and there's only truth even if it's fced for humankind I Simon gave up being human and decided to walk the path of immortality and the truth my body will be broken and reformed as the God that was torn apart according to Simon he was created by a

being resembling a god furthermore he believes lies must be eradicated from the world mance's Uncanny ability to read the minds of others allowed him to discern whether people were lying or telling the truth over time this led him to the conclusion that lies must be removed from the world as lies are often used to betray and hurt one another to him lies were a hindrance preventing Evolution Simon appeared to be personally exhausted by the lies of humanity and so took matters into his own hands to this end he began pursuing godhood to gain power that

Would enable him to make this fantasy a reality denying people the ability to lie is ultimately depriving one of Free Will can the displacement of free will be considered Evolution residing at top the peak of the tower stands Simon Manis his frame horribly disfigured one of his arms is also missing his form could be a reference to the Hunchback of notra dam others suggest he represents the dogfish or The Coachman from Pinocchio Simon representing the dogfish is fing as his Middle name pis means fish on the other hand he also symbolizes The Coachman in the

tale of Pinocchio bad children were taken away to Pleasure Island by The Coachman using a carriage akin to how maners stole the Ergo of the living and transported it to the aisle he is a fusion of the two characters unyielding battles the gargantuan Alchemist evading the weight of his hammer Manus is eventually sent reeling refusing to give in he uncloaks his left arm revealing he Has fused the arm of God to his flesh from his shoulder Sprouts forth the god The Alchemist once worshiped across the cosmos the hands of God made contact symbolizing the creation

of Adam painted by Michelangelo in this case however unlike the real painting the God here is using its left hand hand the left hand was often associated with the wicked in ancient times transcended to godhood man has displays his calamitous power regrettably despite the Ergo aast and The power of the arm of God Simon is no match neeling before us he acknowledges sopia's involvement in our journey he questions whether her intentions were out of a sense of Duty or contempt for himself or if simply because she truly cares for p manner States Sophia what have

you done to her answering truthfully he knows yes I suppose that was her wish knowing the truth of people's minds is a Curse I would not have been able to Bear it if it weren't for sopia her pure heart was a horic for my pain Manis embarked on a ruinous path not only to forge a world of truth but for the heart of sopia interestingly laria's love for Simon was unrequited just as his love was for sopia throughout our journey we uncovered many books in reference to Simon Manus additionally Manis is Latin for hand an

appropriate name considering his Obsession with the arm of God for thousands of years humans wish es perished but one reached the star the star answered the humans and descended to earth a star that was curious about humans pretended to be human and then became one the humans saw its Splendor and called it an angel an angel's gift was something humans D not enjoy many humans died with hope in their hearts and the ones who lived harbored rage instead of death eventually humans Destroyed and burned their Hope on their own this is how the angel became

the god torn to death but today there are definitely those who survived with the blessing they The Immortal ones still walk around and wish for the resurrection of God the passages speak of a star that arrived on Earth and was woried as a deity maybe the same angel that visited St Frangelico leading him to establish the cathedral and a new Faith the cosmic Being was even woried by the Alchemists humans eventually ripped the god apart after infected many while granting a select few immortality leaving only the arm of God behind the Alchemists believe that there

was once a God who was ripped to shreds trying to give Immortal Life to the humans he so loved and they wanted to revive him however the God who was in deep Sleep never answered their prayers we will never truly know the nature of the creature only that it Attempted to answer the wishes of humanity by granting immortality reflecting on the det details uncovered the tale of the many losing their lives in an attempt to obtain immortality sounds identical to the story of the Alchemists and what they were attempting to achieve replicating the powers of

the god perhaps inspecting his Ergo reveals the following a treasure hunter was among those who were made to live an immortal life however he was deemed a Failure and Abandoned and then he set out on a journey to become a God to prove himself using this we can find for no bless oblig a weapon named after a French expression meaning that those of high nobility must be responsible and use their status to benefit others a mystical cudel made from an ergoc Crystal Tree the stalker who desired wealth made a contract with the devil along with

this he was gifted with overflowing Ergo and the petrification Disease the man described may be man as himself long ago he's potentially created by the cosmic Wanderer the god bestowed upon him the power of immortality ability to see through lies and the petrification disease what he saw as God was in fact a devil from above in its eyes Simon was a failure thus did Manus embark on a long and arduous Journey if the descriptions truly refer to Manus then he was the very source of the disease Manus and The Alchemist viewed themselves as the masters

of crat and for a time they were had their reach not exceeded their grasp they would be lorded as the greatest of humankind regrettably their hubris led to their downfall undone by ambition before passing Manus Whispers watch out for chto his final words echo in our mind Carlo Kodi once said a conscience is that still Small Voice that people won't listen to It's time we started Listening [Music] heing Simon's warning P descends to the abyss below the Abbey standing alone at the center is jepetto I dreamed of this day for so long you can be

human again by using that vast Supply of Ergo and the arm of God I just need the final ingredient the one that holds your memories and your lifespan your Heart you have been a brilliant and a good boy as your reward I shall turn you into a real boy give me your heart son at last japeta Reveals His True objective having endured many trials and tribulations we can decide to end our suffering here and give our P organ to jepetto with a little hesitation he removes our heart and places it into the mutilated body of

his son Carlo the nameless puppet doing so will result in Our death reborn jepetto orders Carlo to slaughter everyone at hotel crat he breathes a sigh of relief before smiling at his son the blood soaked corpses of Eugene and venini lay scattered in the rain within the hotel all members have been killed that uro placed in puppets and bound by the grand Covenant existing only to serve a letter from jepetto reads to make you happy I plan to stabilize Kat I suppose getting the puppets and the petrification disease Under better control will turn the city

back to normal no matter what others say you're my son I'll rebuild crat for you until then please stay safe in the hotel your father who cares about you more than anyone in his paranoia jepetto has delved into Insanity who knows if his lunacy will stop at the borders of Kat chapeto aimed to remove all threats to his son with humans extinguished and only puppets who obey the grand covenants remaining he can sleep soundly Knowing his son is safe forever more in the original fairy tale Pinocchio becoming a real boy was his happily ever after

the culmination and reward of his journey in this tale it is painted as a Sinister conclusion after all P may contain the Ergo of Carlo but that does not make him the same boy that jepetto lost over the course of the journey P grew into his own character becoming Human by interacting with both living beings and objects of the world in truth P abandoned his life his Humanity so that Carlo could live again even so is the resurrected Carlo the same person that fell victim to the disease or has the process left him warped it

is unknown whether the nameless puppet had an ego this is because multiple CES holding concentrated Ergo were used to boost its Firepower if this puppet could feel only one emotion it would be hatred this statement provides a window into the psyche of the nameless puppet after All what sane person in good conscience would murder Innocents at the request of their father the Venom drips through from father to son it appear is that Carlo is just a puppet filled with hatred one made of Flesh and Bones conversely we can reject JP opting to keep our heart

our life is truly our own independent of Carlo we may not have chosen to come into this world but at this moment it is up to us if we leave it jepetto displays his disappointment In turn he raises the corse of his son from a casket using a mechanical glove commanding the reanimated body to obey his will through the the use of strings the nameless puppet was the first puppet made by the old man that was mounted with a por organ its Ergo efficiency was not just unremarkable it was destructive thus the nameless puppet was

not chosen for the boy's body and sealed away the nameless puppet proves to be a formidable foe its dexterity speed and Resilience are unlike that of any other his moves are efficient yet deadly throughout the encounter jepetto admonishes us stating we are just a puppet it he confirms that the grand Covenant was Never Bound To Us granting us true freedom but the freedom given was to be transferred to his son ignoring his ramblings we focus our mind and chip away at the figure striking with purpose in the narrow openings of the puppet's dance-like movements Growing

desperate the nameless puppet separates his scissor-like sword into two blades his aggression is almost unbearable with the expertise gained from the journey and the human willpower to survive we respond in kind after a long and grueling Jewel the puppet succumbs to injury in a last ditch attempt to Snuff out our life he breaks free of japeto strings and leaps into the air before attempting to plunge his blade into our hearts it is interesting To note the puppet's weapon of choice a double-edged sword that can end one's Freedom or Grant it by cutting the strings of

manipulation puppets are tied to Strings humans have cut their own strings the boy made a choice and became human using this Armament the nameless puppet severed his strings to jepetto and acted of his own free will before the mortal blow can be delivered jepetto stands between us and the nameless puppet brimming with sadness P sheds a Tear a pure display of human emotion they say puppets do not shed tears because they do not have souls for vessels if they had Souls they would have something to put tears and lies in P's very existence is a

direct contradiction of what was once believed upon this realization jepetto apologizes and calls him son I sorry in the pursuit of resurrecting his Son japeto faed to realize that he had fathered another undeniably P had grown into a human despite having been created as a puppet if chapeto had und OD this notion then perhaps he would have lived his days in peace with his son he can never replace Carlo the incident left an irreparable scar on the stubborn man's soul but perhaps over time he could have learned to live with the pain unfortunately jepetto's longing

for Carlo blinded him from reality and was The trigger for his descent into madness to understand the tale of japeto and the extreme lens he went to in his attempt to resurrect Carlo we must first go back to the beginning lamenting the loss of his son jepetto sought a means to bring him back from the Beyond becoming obsessed with the tale of Pinocchio his son's favorite story The Fable itself can be found on the bookshelf in hotel crat to achieve this goal he needed a tremendous quantity of Ergo and the arm Of God luckily for

him Simon Manis already had the arm in question and needed a vast supply of Ergo to achieve his own goal of becoming a God in the letter from Simon Manis found in jepetto's Workshop he noted how he retraced peace steps to obtain a stolen Relic The Relic refers to the arm of God an object that jepetto had stolen for his goal but then Simon reclaimed it circling back to jepetto utilizing the hidden rule law zero of the grand Covenant an order which decrees that the creator of all puppets is japeto as well as law one

a puppet must aate Creator he triggered the puppet frenzy presumably jepetto placed Romeo's Ergo within the king of Puppets to play a role in his Grand Design the king believing himself to be Romeo Carlo's best friend attempted to oppose jepetto's command there are two possibilities here Romeo ordered the puppets to neutralize all who were infected by the petrification Disease of his own free will but was unable to enact this properly due to jepetto's Prior command where he ordered all the puppets to start the frenzy or japeto by using L zero commanded Romeo and through him

all others to not only s the frenzy but also cely infected he had good reason to despise the Alchemists as they caused a petrification disease to manifest which ultimately claimed Carlo's life interestingly if we utilize the completed dakoda we can translate The language of the puppets a language that P initially could not understand as the laws of the Covenant were never imprinted upon his heart making him a unique puppet when utilizing the dakoda at the bridge of St Frangelico we can understand the dialogue of the puppets battling the infected they State on the king's orders

protect the humans furthermore the dakoda can be used during the king of Puppets confrontation in the first phase the king stays I was Wondering when you would show up pity we have to meet like this though come on don't be silly you're wrong listen up the whole place is teeming with monsters of course we have to stop them you have to stop them lives are on the line the real enemy is before he was able to reveal the name jepetto Romeo appears and notes I have to kill you to stop it all there's no other

way the laws of the grand Covenant binders we're his puppets it's going to be okay as long as I'm at Your side Carlo who's the puppet you or me before the fight even began the mechanical stage play clearly depicted jetto stealing our heart and placing it into the nameless puppet Romeo was attempting to tell us the truth throughout the entire confront ation at the time we had no choice but to retaliate due to jepetto's machinations the source of the puppet frenzy was blamed on Romeo a convenient enemy to remove from the equation additionally Romeo attempted

to make contact with P by dispatching the parade master and his flame for woko specifically the king's flame States learn his ways join our mission spread the Flames burn the impure don't forget brother you're one of us oh King my king we fight for humans why can't you see it worship the king of Puppets froo pleaded with us to join Romeo's Mission Against The Infected burning the impure means to eradicate those infected with the Disease once again we were ignorant to the true purpose of Romeo and his puppets and so neutralized them instead with the

puppet frenzy in full effect and the rampant spread of the Affliction it was time for jepetto to send out pee but due to the m donkey he's prevented from returning to his hidden Workshop within the train during this time P was awakened by Sophia for her own purpose and given a lamp of the monad family containing geminy p and all of Romeo's Forces were used by japeto to slaughter a mountain of puppets and humans so that Manis could absorb all the Ergo required into the tower once we arrived at the peak we removed Simon from

the playing field as he had now fulfilled his role in jepetto's plan through the manipulation of all others The Mastermind had obtained the astronomical quantity of Ergo required and the arm of God but jepetto made a fatal error when he failed to realize that P would become A human being with his own free will it is true that no parent should have to bury their child but jepetto's schemes were not the answer to his pain he was willing to sacrifice the world to see his son again ironic considering the memories of Carlo we witnessed on

the beach evidently japeto abandoned his son at the monad charity house turning him into an orphan missing key moments of his son's life such as his graduation when Carlo perished jepetto acknowledged How absent he truly was regret is stronger than gratitude a phrase embodied by the actions of japeto who Moved Heaven and Earth to see his son again despite failing to achieve his original goal he came to terms with reality once he saw he weeping he realized the truth before the end P may not be Carlo but he was still his son upon the rooftops

we see a puppet modeled after Sophia drawing her ergo from his heart P Grant sopia life a new She holds p in her arms akin to the saintess of Mercy interestingly perhaps the saintess depicted in the Statue is a reference to the listeners in the past a genius engineer Camille received a request from the Alchemists and created a masterpiece this was a saintess of Mercy statue that brought back to life the puppets under golden Divine protection Sophia resurrected P endlessly throughout his journey much like the saint has portrayed in the Statue P sleeps soundly In

Her Arms finally in a letter left behind by Sophia she notes the following thank you for giving me a new life the fact that an ergo puppet can have a second life and become another kind of human requires more time for people to find out about it the crack disaster has stopped still there is the aftermath of the petrification disease and the puppets please heal the wounds for the people you're the reason we have our Freedom I'm grateful you freed me from my puppet strings returning to the hotel the residents are grateful cats will need

time to heal but the immediate threat from jepetto and Simon is over exploring the hotel further we discover that the nose of peace painting has reached its limit removing the nose grants us with the Armament golden lie the growth of this weapon is directly linked to The Lies We have told throughout our adventure there are two Kinds of Lies yours is the lie that makes your nose long the boy loved the fairy tale about the wooden puppet's Adventure at least the wooden puppet's father was kind the description draws a comparison between the jepetto of Kat

to the jepetto in the fairy tale who was a kind and loving father towards Pinocchio found close to where giano once stood is a letter it's amazing to see a new brother being born I hope to meet you again sometime on the Eternal line of Time the initials refer to gano's true name philippus paracelsus a man considered Legend even by the Alchemists his character is based on a Swiss philosopher Theologian an alchemist of the same name a lorded an avantguard individual par elus in lies of p is referred to as the Eternal an apt name

as he appears to be seeking or has somewhat obtained immortality as noted earlier The God Who Fell to Earth and created Simon Manis also created other Immortals alongside him some of which still walk the earth perhaps paracelsus was one of them we witness him conversing with a woman over the phone she asks him to report his findings implying he was dispatched to Kat on a mission this partially explains why he coveted the gold coin tree as the fruits which Grew From the tree had miraculous properties that could potentially sustain one's lifespan Beyond mortal means it

is also likely that he looked Into Ergo and the petrification disease just as jepetto and The Alchemist once did however during this investigation he came into contact with P he refers to p as a new brother as he is eternal like himself paracelsus remarks that they should continue observing and the woman responds by noting that they need to get his arm back likely referring to Simon's arm of God lastly he concludes by stating he's returning and when he does he'll find a Girl by the name of Dorothy Standing over a sunlet crat we see Dorothy

humming and clapping her heels a clear reference to the fairy tale Wizard of Oz she is in the scope of Paris elus as she may also possess a form of immortality it is theor that the golden broken Stargazer found in the path of the pilgrim is a potential entrance to the Land of Oz the golden Hughes of the Stargazer draws parallels to the famous yellow brick road moreover Dorothy in The Fairy Tale Travels with the Scarecrow lion and a tin man who desires his own heart so he can feel human emotion the Tin Man may

actually be the broken puppet found in the baron swamp either way the tail is far from over paracelsus and his Society are seeking likewise individuals but for what purpose is unknown the tale of lies of PE is one filled with tragedy but it is not without hope the Alchemist abuse of Ergo came with the price the petrification disease the overreliance On this resource led to the rise and cataclysmic downfall of the once prosperous city of crat punishment for the sadistic experiments and the pursuit of evolution at any cost for jepetto he led a life of

desperation to achieve his goals only to realize what he likely knew already Carlo was lost a fool thinks himself to be wise but a wise man knows himself to be a fool a man of jepetto's caliber deluded himself into thinking he could overcome death time Did not heal his pain and his stubborn yet intelligent mind refused to accept this simple fact his hollow choice to discard one life for another LED him to his end he made a remarkable achievement birthing the human pee from a puppet ignorant of the weight of his achievement creating sentient life

ultimately he paid the price for his transgressions in the end we can only hope he found peace knowing his son lives on in one way or another on the Other hand Simon Manus was twisted by the power bestowed upon him the ability to know if a person is lying would be seen as a Blessing by some but for s he could not stomach a world filled with lies vowing instead to create a realm where one can only tell the truth failing to understand that to lie is to be human without it the world he sought

to create would not be considered human at all moreover even with all the power held in his palm he could not have that Which he coveted above all the love of Sophia Simon perished with his dreams and ruins and his love unrequited a heavy price to to pay as for the king of Puppets he truly believed he was Romeo in reality the King was Ain to pee a marionette with the memories of a human not quite the person whose memories they inherited but a new individual entirely Romeo clung to Distant Memories of the past and

tried to reconnect with Carlo he cherished his friendship holding on To an item from Carlo to The Bitter End a necklace once worn by the king of Puppets it is engraved with the boy scribblings to Romeo your friend C the boy resented his father for not showing any interest in him perhaps in protest he gave his graduation necklace to Romeo a friend he admired in the end Romeo was a soldier Bound by the grand Covenant he had strength but not Liberty doomed to fail from the very beginning by jepetto's design a tragic hero if there

Ever was one and finally we have p a new purpose stirs in his heart a life of Li Y is laid before him one of his first acts with his new found Freedom was to Grant life to sfia once more perhaps repaying her kindness for rewinding the clock each time he died as long as his will remained he can never truly lose unfettered Sophia can now write her own fate were it not for the death of Carlo P would not be alive jepetto and Simon would be left unchecked and Sophia would Remain imprisoned eternally P

was born from a the father's desperation free from any strings to be sacrificed at a specific moment despite being born with freedom in the end it was challenged and had to be one after all defeating the nameless puppet allows us to obtain its weapon the aply named proof of humanity proof of our life to remain free to make a simple Choice such as lie or tell the truth to protect those you love this is what Spurs P to fight no one is truly Alive until they are free for p his life begins now Humanity sanctum

long before I found it blasphemed against itself crot became a city of monsters and petrification disease because of Simon's terrible experiments the suburbs are sealed off There's No [Music] Escape Communications cut off Too someone plann this all out everyone's Dead from the petrification disease or from the monsters I didn't die but my heart breaks more each day the disease does not signify death it's the process of purifying a person's Essence sometimes you meet people who make you believe they'll always be with you but a life can be snuffed out at any moment I Am the
