I'm scared... I'm scared!
A cat.
Huh?
Oz...
Oz!
Oz!!
Are you all right?
Yeah.
Is this where the Cheshire Cat lives?
It seems that way.
Oh! My apologies...
Did I scare you?
Sharon's voice is coming from my shadow!
Sharon, why are you in Oz's shadow?
Shouldn't your Chain be in Break's shadow?
Yes, you're right...
But apparently he lost track of Break's shadow a few moments ago.
I'm afraid that Break may have met with some trouble.
My Chain, Eques, has the ability to merge with shadows....
...and create passages between two points.
If he lost contact with Break...
...then he must have gone somewhere very strange.
But, since you've succeeded in reaching the intended destination, there shouldn't be a problem.
Anyway, please help me search for them.
Since Break won't die very easily,
please try to locate Alice first.
What?!
Wasted no time showing himself!
That's...
...the Cheshire Cat?
You there... how did you find this place?
We're the ones asking the questions!
What happened to Break and Alice?
Huh?
Just now, his eyes looked a lot like Break's...
If you're talking about that red-eyed man...
I just lured him into the mirror.
I'm afraid he's engulfed within his own memories, and is now sinking into a deep sleep.
Why did you go after those two?
Why?
It's simple, really.
Because they're enemies to the Will of the Abyss.
Enemies?
The appearance of the red-eyed man, and your arrival, weren't part of our plan.
However...
As long as I kill both of you...
It doesn't matter.
Wait... What do we do Gil?!
Why'd you turn to stone?!
A cat...
It can't be... a cat...
You're still scared of cats?!
I never heard that... the enemy was a cat...
Hey, wake up...
We were saying "Cheshire Cat" over and over again!
Hey, snap out of it! Gil!
Gil! Gil, come on!
Eques!
A unicorn...
This... this is Sharon's Chain?
Even though this Chain's main purpose is to collect information...
...he's not incapable of fighting.
Now, Master Oz, please use this chance to look for them.
Let's go, Oz!
Cheshire Cat...
I would like to ask you for information concerning the Will of the Abyss.
Why do you want to know about her?
Because Break and I would like to know...
...the truth about what happened 100 years ago.
You are... annoying.
Wait!
Why do we always have to do these stupid jobs?
We both agreed to look for Break.
Alice!
Gil!
Take a closer look at her.
She's not your stupid rabbit.
This is one of Alice's distorted memories.
In this place,...
The reborn memories will crush any intruders.
If you are swallowed by one of them, you will surely die...
...and suffer eternal pain in this warped space.
It is indeed extremely painful.
So, to ease your passing...
Why don't you just let me eat you?
Hold on! So you're saying that Alice's memories are here?
What do you mean?
This dimension was created by Alice's memories.
What's this?
You use Raven to seal B-Rabbit's power?
That's too bad...
Because now, I won't be able to meet Raven.
Gil...!
GIL !!..
I know that you're the one collecting Alice's fragmented memories.
Why? Why are you doing this?
Because...
Alice wants to get her memories back!
LIAR!!!
Liar! Liar! Liar! Liar!
Cheshire Cat knows,...
That she...
That Alice...
...wants to forget everything!!!
That is why she herself shattered and abandoned her memories!!!
Those distorted memory fragments have been dispersed into your world.
But certain memories were sealed into this shell instead.
It is Cheshire Cat's mission to remain here...
...to guard and protect Alice's memories, unseen by anyone.
This is where those memories live, the ones that Alice wanted to erase the most.
Wanted to... erase the most?
Yes...
The day Alice learned everything.
Hey, tell me...
What are you to me?
You are obviously someone close to me...
...yet I can't see your face.
If I could remember you...
...would I finally be able to understand...
...and know who I really am?
Did you say that the meeting was postponed?
Yes...
I'm sorry to have you make the trip all the way to Pandora Headquarters for this.
I heard that Duchess Rainsworth's health suddenly turned for the worse.
Now Liam, you don't have to apologize.
Really now, and I just heard that Oz and the others are in trouble...
Vincent Nightray?!
I'm really sorry you had to carry me back to my room.
Putting that aside, Master Vincent...
Right from the start...
The Chain that appeared is...
Ohh, this is Dormouse.
Still getting used to it?
Yes. It's a bit embarrassing to say this, but...
If I'm not careful, I can be affected by Dormouse, and may even fall soundly sleep.
I have Echo to look after me during the day...
Unfortunately, she's currently doing a job for me.
Will you also be attending the meeting?
Yes.
Since I was involved in the Grim incident, the higher-ups want me to give a detailed report.
I am the one who killed William Wesley.
The higher-ups ordered me to capture and gather information from him.
But you did that to save a child, so it was unavoidable.
So, what did you say concerning the young boy that you saved?
Don't worry, I didn't report the details...
About Oz Bezarius returning from the Abyss alive...
If the others from Pandora find out, it would be problematic.
Oh, Vincent...
Yes?
Oh, Liam, you heard us.
I didn't hear! I didn't hear anything!
I-I-I didn't hear...
I didn't hear anything!
Come sit here for a second.
I didn't do anything wrong.
It was my mistake...
It's only because you're not important.
No way...
Is it true?
Has Master Oz really escaped from the Abyss?
He even forged a Contract with the B-Rabbit.
Then he's an Illegal Contractor?!
My nephew's pretty good, don't you think?
How can you be laughing about it?
I never would have thought...
...the boy who broke the Baskerville's hundred-year silence...
...would still be alive.
Sir Bezarius...
What do you say?
The night is still young...
Why don't we play as we chat?
Sure, I'll take you on.
I'm still alive, huh.
Oz!
This place is...
The scene that you saw in Alice's memory...
...seems to be the scene from 100 years ago.
Abyss's servant: the Red-Hooded Reapers.
That name has been passed down for generations until now.
If we want to use words to express their existence, it would be...
"The Baskerville Household, those who have been defeated by the Four Great Duke Houses."
Almost no one speaks about that truth.
Speaking of the Baskerville family...
They've never shown their face to the outside world.
At least, that's what we know from our limited information.
The Tragedy of Sabrie.
100 years ago, the Capital City of the world, Sabrie, sank into the Abyss because of Baskerville.
Glen Baskerville.
Apparently, that's the name of the head of the Baskerville household.
If the Four Great Duke Houses...
No, if Jack Bezarius wasn't able to stop him...
...the whole country would have been sent to the Abyss.
Even though we're still not sure what their goals are...
Rather than fighting, we've already obtained...
The power Baskerville was protecting:
The four Doors connected to the Abyss.
In other words, the Four Chains.
But, it's still not enough.
Yes, Pandora wants to obtain the Will of the Abyss.
To arrive at the lowest level, where the Will of the Abyss is...
We have yet to obtain...
The Fifth Door that Baskervilles has.
Baskerville also wants the Will of the Abyss.
To that end, they will also come and fight for the Doors that the Four Great Duke Houses possess.
Once Pandora obtains the fifth Door...
That when we can declare...
Checkmate.
No matter where I go, the scenery is the same.
How do I.. how do I find Oz?
That is one of Alice's distorted memories.
She's a little different from the last one.
Hey, wait!
Why didn't you mention that Oz was alive?
Oz has been the only threat to Baskerville in the 100 years.
Being in Pandora, it's not like you to mess around with B-Rabbit.
Ah, it's already this late.
My deepest apologies for having you keep me company.
What exactly are you thinking?
No matter when...
I'm always thinking about Gil.
That was a joke.
I already said I was joking, right?
After the Grim incident...
Gil asked me to keep my mouth closed...
...regarding Oz's business.
What?
Compared to Pandora, Gil's request is far more important to me.
If that's what my brother wishes...
...then my lips are sealed.
Well then, you two, sweet dreams.
Sir Bezarius...!
My gosh, Gilbert...
Your brother sure is hard to handle.
Break, what exactly is that thing?
How mean! Calling a person a "thing."
It would be better to call her by name.
Stop messing around!
She only knows how to leech from Oz...
A pest living on my Master's body!
She's obviously a Chain!
But why is she able to appear as a young girl?
Why does she look so human?
I know of a lot of Chains that have a human appearance...
The question is, between that girl and the black rabbit...
Which one is the real Alice?
What?!
Anyway, you're not allowed to kill her off yet.
I believe she might be a witness to what happened 100 years ago.
The truth I'm looking for might be locked away in her memory...
...as well as to the identity of that young man...
Yo, Gilbert.
Golden hair, emerald eyes...
Oz?!
Nope.
My name is Jack...
Jack Bezarius.
