With your heart, who is the one you've chosen? ...No, or perhaps... You're merely a casually-onlooking reader who chose this ending on some whim...? ...*giggle* I don't mind either way. As long as you enjoy this world, that's what matters most.

Are you watching, Noel?? Look, look! This is the witch's mansion... A hell just for you! A goopy, messy hell of my own creation! NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! ..........Come fall in!

If I just stopped thinking already... ...Things'd be easy. If I killed my heart for my wish's sake, and became a cruel person... If I became an unfeeling demon...

...Sirius. Finally having fun and acting your age? ...I'm glad.

It sure is amazing. The allure of a treasure that grants any wish...

...Sorry, Claire. ...You're free to hate me all you want. ...Doesn't feel good, honestly.

And what part of Cinderella is supposed to be "elements of horror"?!

...Well, I'm glad you didn't die. I'm really glad you're alive!

.....Sorry, Ashe. It's nothing, really... .....A billionaire, huh? Money is important, after all... ..........Yeah.

.....Lamenting a tragedy won’t accomplish anything, in the end. …Kindness alone, naive thoughts alone… …can’t do anything. They can’t protect anything. They can’t change anything. You’ll just have things taken from you.

...Dead...? ..........Then where... Where am I supposed to direct this feeling...?

Oh, that's a funny thing you babbled, Lime. Why? It's simple! I don't care who's unhappy... whether it's Noel, or whether it's you lot.

...A wish he's willing to kill for... He might be trying to steady his resolve and move into action. ...But, how to put it... He seemed to be hurting greatly.

I'm still regretting it even now. Even if I had been asked to... I regret ever picking that flower. . . . And so the Dark Lily placed on me a curse worse than death... And I've been looking for a way to lift that curse ever since.

It’s all too common for "desires" and "ethics" to be weighed against each other, and "desires" to win out… …With thinking as breezy as that, I’m sure you’d be easily deceived as well.

...Such a good night, it's like a waste to sleep through it. ...Wilardo. ..........Thank you. ..........And sorry.

...So you're unsure because you're kind, Noel.

But then again, it depends on the degree of unhappiness I'm inflicting. If it's equivalent to stubbing your little toe on a dresser, I may prioritize my own happiness... ...But if it's breaking a bone, that would leave an awful aftertaste. So then I might have to think about it.

Even though... I did sort of know, about mom... Even though it's not just me hurting... Sirius has to deal with the same thing... ..........?? Why are you apologizing, Patricia? . . . You didn't do anything wrong, Patricia... ...So it's weird.

...Claire, would you... ...Would you be willing to sacrifice everyone else to be happy? ...Yeah, of course. ...I thought you'd say that. ...I'm going to have to decide what to do, too. I know that, I know...
