Damage done to the Chain affects the Contractor as well...
If that's the case, then if the Chain is killed...
Stop it now, Alice!
Don't attack anymore!
What?!
That man is that kid's... He's Phillipe's...!
Enough already! Quit your dreaming!
Oz!
You dare to bare your fangs at me...
I'll kill you for that!
Alice!
It's impossible.
There's no way that I can stop Alice.
I...
...can do it.
Call her back.
You can control her.
You have the power.
It's over!
Stop it!
Alice!!
I can't move.
Has my power... been sealed?
What's happening?
You see?
I told you you could do it.
Big Brother...
Has... something happened to my father?
Please let go of my hand.
My father...
...hasn't come back home for three days.
But that's happened before as well.
So... father will return home safely, right?
I...
I don't want to be alone!
Phillipe...
Everything's fine.
I will definitely bring your father back.
I was really happy...
...to hear that kid talk about his father with a smile on his face.
Father has spent more time with me ever since.
He's different from me.
That's what I think.
Yet...
Why?
Stay away!
Oz!
Why...
...are you doing this...?
Why?
Why did you sign a contract with a Chain?!
Oz!
You have Phillipe by your side, so why?!
"Why", you ask?
Why did I sign a contract with a Chain?
It's obvious!
It's all for Phillipe's sake!
I want to change the Past for Phillipe!
Had I not signed that paper, our family wealth would not have declined.
Had I not asked that useless doctor, my wife would still be alive!
Had I not believed those swines, I wouldn't have ended up in this sad situation!
Everything... Everything won't be like this!
If I can start over, I will definitely give Phillipe happiness!
What's wrong with that?
You did it for Phillipe...?
Yes...
I... killed people for my son's sake!
Son...
For your son... huh?
If it was just me, I wouldn't have cared.
But Phillipe is still a child!
I have a responsibility to let my son... to let that child have some happiness!
If this continues, Phillipe will be very unfortunate.
I can't accept that, so...
Do you really think so?!
That's right! I'm his father. I will do anything for Phillipe!
Oz!
You... What would you know about me?
I don't care about you.
Why?!
Why didn't you stay by Phillipe's side?!
Why didn't you stay with Phillipe?!
He's your son, right?
Yet... why?!
Big Brother...
I don't want to be alone!
You're his father, right?
Gilbert is now reflecting on his behaviour in the basement.
Master has also instructed us not to let Young Master out of the house.
Don't leave me alone...
Father...
There's no need to change the Past.
He just said...
"It's alright. I'm alright with staying here...
...as long as someone is with me."
That simple gesture would have satisfied him!
That gesture would have made Phillipe very happy.
Oz... You...
I...
This photo...
Phillipe has one too.
Phillipe...
Oz...
Oz?
Oz!
Damnnit!
Don't shoot!
At least... let that child, once more...
Rest assured, Phillipe.
I will definitly bring your father...
Damn it!
Oz!
Not good!
Oz!
Let me go, Gil.
Why did you fire?!
No, it wasn't me!
That man was Phillipe's...
I didn't shoot him!
I was the one who shot him.
Because that child was nearly killed just now.
Also, that man only had the fate of being dragged down to the Abyss, either alive or dead.
Only those two options to choose from.
That's why...
I had to do it.
Vincent...
Vincent?
My Lord, Master Vincent, ordered me...
...to bring this child to him.
Vincent, is the carriage you came in still nearby?
Yes, it is.
I want to take Oz to a safe place to rest.
Please lend it to me.
I can't, Gil. I want to let Phillipe...
Don't say anything!
No problem, Gil.
Whatever Gil wishes, I can do it for you.
I am terrible sorry to have disturbed you in the middle of the night, Miss Rainsworth.
No, please don't worry about that.
Gil said that he wouldn't return to the Nightray House and is still sulking.
Well then, I guess we should leave, Echo.
Yes.
Oh, you're leaving already?
Yes. Even though I wanted to have a nice chat with Gil.
I still have some unsettled business to attend to.
Also, unlike Gil,
I don't feel like I'm welcome here.
Do allow me to escort you to the door,
Vincent-sama.
Thank you.
Please do be careful, Vincent-sama.
He's still as cold as ever, that guy.
That's true.
Maybe he's not being honest with himself...
But his shy side is rather cute too.
Ahh... Yeah yeah...
I clearly understand Gil's thinking,
because we have something called a "blood tie" that link us together.
Master...
It's my responsibility to protect my Master.
But he was...
Don't shoot!
Just like that,
not even thinking about his own safety...
You really do care very much about Master Oz, don't you?
But what you need to do now is something even more important than this, right?
Something very special.
You haven't said out loud what is in your heart, have you?
If I can start over, I will definitely give Phillipe happiness!
I'm his father. I will do anything for Phillipe!
So, because of that, you murdered people.
Even though that's absolutely wrong...
Is a father... supposed to be like that?
But, for me...
That boy?
It'd be better if he was never born.
Fathe-!
Don't ever touch me!
You filth.
Father...
If you don't need me, then why am I here?
Where am I supposed to be?
Do I... have to live by myself?
I definitely cannot let Phillipe experience what I've been through.
I was a bit surprised...
Alice...
...that even you can be that angry.
Yeah...
That simple gesture would have satisfied him!
Did I... get angry?
Didn't you?
It's as if you were a completely different person.
Yeah...
I don't really understand it...
...because I didn't even know what I was saying.
I told him...
I told Phillipe that I would definitely bring his father back.
...but I failed to do anything.
It's not your fault.
There was nothing we could have done to save that man from the start.
But...
Didn't Seaweed Head say that as well?
Don't bother yourself with that case anymore.
But I failed to fulfill my promise.
I still can't think it through.
I don't know why, but whenever I think of him...
...always waiting alone for his father to return...
I...
Alone...
I don't understand why you're so vexed over it.
Whatever happens to that kid...
To be honest, I don't care.
But...
I also know it can be very cold to be alone like this.
Even as a Chain...
...I understand.
You must feel sad whenever you think that that kid will experience the same coldness.
Sad...?
Yeah...
I guess so.
To be wearing those clothes, you must be preparing to go to Pandora, right?
At this hour.
Yes. There is something I need to investigate.
He~h?
What is it about?
Well, this is only my personal deduction, but...
...in this case when Grim escaped,
I believe that someone from Pandora's internal office might have helped with the escape...
...because they were afraid that Grim might have leaked out certain useful information.
So that people wouldn't suspect that it's caused by internal people, they let him escape,
and after that, killed him without people noticing it, or killed him because of circumstances.
For the sake of saving the kid, there's no choice but to kill him.
...or something like that. That kind of reasoning.
It is indeed scary.
To think that such traitors exist in Pandora.
There's no need to worry.
If there are such people, then no matter who they are,
I will definitely back them into a wall.
I really...
...look forward to that.
