Ah… My dear beloved, my noble and beautiful flower of evil, You are the fairest in the land. ──Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most...
|
|
──O thee, guided by the Dark Mirror, Follow thy heart’s desire and take the hand of the one reflected in the mirror. Flames that incinerate even the stars, Ice that imprisons even time, The great tree that engulfs even the skies, Fear not the power of darkness. Now──demonstrate thy powers.
|
|
For me. For them. For you. We are all running out of time. No matter what, never let go of that hand.

Did you really think you'd get away from my nose? Dumb human! If you don't wanna get roasted, better hand over— Bwah?! Ow! What's with the rope?
|
???
???
|
This is no mere rope. It is a lash of love! Ah, found you at last. Are you one of the new students? That won’t do. You mustn’t leave the Gate on your own! Not only that, taking your untamed familiar with you to school is against the regulations.

Let me go! I'm not their freakin' familiar!

Sure, sure. That’s what all the rebellious ones say. Just quiet down for a moment.

My goodness. It's unprecedented for a new student to leave the Gate on their own. Uuuggh... How impatient can you be? The entrance ceremony is already well under way. Let's head to the Hall of Mirrors.
|
Choice 1: . . . New student?
|
Choice 2: . . . Gate?

|
It's the room you woke up in with all of the doors. All students admitted to this academy must pass through one of those doors to arrive here. Normally, students wake up only after the door is opened with a special key, but...
|
Choice 1: So those coffins were actually doors.
|
Choice 2: The fire must have blown the lid off.
|

|
They bid farewell to the only world they’ve ever known and are reborn. Those doors were designed with such sentiments. ... Oh my! Now isn't the time to be long-winded. The entrance ceremony will soon come to a close. Let's get a move on.So in the end, the culprit appears to be this familiar. If you're going to bring it with you, you have to take responsibility and properly take care of it. ... Oh my! Now isn't the time to be long-winded. The entrance ceremony will soon come to a close. Let's get a move on.

Choice 1: Just a second, where exactly am I?
|
Choice 2: Just a second, who exactly are you?

|
What's this? Are you still dazed? It appears the teleportation magic has left you disoriented... Well, no matter. It happens often enough. I shall give you an explanation as we make our way there. For I am gracious.

The Ebony Carriage goes to welcome new students chosen by the Dark Mirror. They are special carriages that carry the Doors to the academy. Carriages are the vehicle of choice for special occasions. Is that not what conventional wisdom has dictated since the days of yore?

Choice 1: What dictates what now?
|
Choice 2: So you're saying that carriage just brought me here on its own!?
