{{Dialogue|Priscilla Barnet|What? To the Eastern District? Right now?}}
{{Dialogue|Priscilla Barnet|Caroline, can you explain what we are going to do in the Eastern District?}}
{{Dialogue|You|I'm hoping that both of you can help me find Doctor Edward Grey as soon as possible, Priscilla.}}
{{Dialogue|You|When you find him, please let him know that I intend to fight the Elder and I need his help.}}
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|How interesting.}}
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|Edward Grey is definitely hiding something. Is he a vampire hunter?}}
*Roger, as always, catches on quickly. I purse my lips and nod.
{{Dialogue|You|(I'm sorry, Doctor Grey. If it weren't absolutely necessary, I wouldn't want to expose your identity.)}}
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|Edward Grey... I'm not very familiar with him, but he doesn't seem like the type to act on someone's whim.}}
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|Especially in the current situation.}}
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|Do you really think we can persuade him?}}
{{Dialogue|Priscilla Barnet|Doctor Grey is a vampire hunter?! Does that mean that the one who killed the Baroness is—}}
{{Dialogue|You|Yes, Priscilla. Doctor Grey shot the Baroness to save me.}}
*Priscilla briefly appears somewhat disgruntled, but her anger quickly fades.
{{Dialogue|Priscilla Barnet|Hmph, forget it. This isn't the first time you've kept secrets from me anyway.}}
*She not only glares at me, but also at Roger.
{{Dialogue|Priscilla Barnet|What is there to worry about? Since he is a vampire hunter, it's his duty to destroy vampires, isn't it?}}
{{Dialogue|Priscilla Barnet|Moreover, since he killed the Baroness to save Caroline, it is only natural for him to kill the Elder.}}
*Priscilla winks at me suggestively. I recall the argument with Doctor Grey and can't help but sigh inwardly.
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|The issue is that he isn't just a vampire hunter. He's also a doctor.}}
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|To me, Edward Grey might be akin to John Snow.}}
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|A so-called "true physician".}}
{{Dialogue|You|I never expected you to hold Doctor Grey in such high regard, Roger. I thought you disliked him since you two didn't seem to get along before.}}
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|I don't have a personal prejudice against him. It's just natural to be more cautious of someone who hides secrets and isn't true to their words.}}
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|And my caution has proven to be justified.}}
{{Dialogue|You|Saying he's not true to his words might be a bit much. Doctor Grey is just...}}
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|Don't judge a book by its cover, Caroline. Some people are very good at appearing helpful.}}
*I furrow my brows. Is this known as "having no prejudices"?
{{Dialogue|You|You just called him a true physician.}}
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|Don't let noble intentions blind you. A true physician may not always be honest and kind. They may be motivated by their own goals.}}
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|Don't forget, Doctor Grey is now busy saving lives and helping others in the Eastern District.}}
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|Given the numerous potential pitfalls of this plan to kill the Elder, would he truly be willing to sacrifice so many lives?}}
*Roger finishes speaking coldly and casts his questioning gaze upon me.
*Under the pressure of his gaze, I realize that I have indeed not considered this question.
*What if Doctor Grey really is unwilling to help me?
{{Dialogue|You|I...}}
{{Dialogue|Vincent Savile|Don't worry so much, Mr. Evans. He will help.}}
*Vincent's voice, a jarring intrusion, drifts through the tranquil air of the greenhouse. Roger's face contorts in immediate disgust.
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|Wouldn't you agree, Mr. Savile, that introductions are a courtesy before joining the discussion?}}
{{Dialogue|You|Roger!}}
*Priscilla and I sigh in unison, stopping him.
*He's usually quite mature. But around Vincent, he seems to revert to the troubled teenager he once was.
*Vincent reassures me with a glance and steps out cautiously.
{{Dialogue|Vincent Savile|Irad is the leader of the London clan. The fate of the Blood Clan hinges on his survival.}}
{{Dialogue|Vincent Savile|The League of Vampire Hunters have tried to weaken the Blood Clan in London, but they have been frustrated by the lack of opportunity.}}
{{Dialogue|Vincent Savile|Caroline, using herself as bait, has created this opportunity for a deadly ambush - an opportunity that Edward Grey, always a rational thinker, would not miss out on.}}
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|Huh, that sounds reasonable. Looks like you're acquainted with that vampire hunter too, huh?}}
{{Dialogue|You|Doctor Grey does indeed know Vincent—}}
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|Interesting. And he didn't lay a hand on you?}}
{{Dialogue|Vincent Savile|Not that he didn't want to.}}
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|This further reinforces my point. The vampire hunter Edward Grey won't just shoot any vampire he sees.}}
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|Clearly, if we really want him to join this plan, we'll need higher stakes.}}
{{Dialogue|You|(Higher stakes?)}}
*Vincent hesitates to speak.
*He glances at me, a hint of nervousness flickering in his eyes. Suddenly, it dawns on me what's on his mind.
{{Dialogue|You|Tell him I'm the daughter of a vampire.}}
{{Dialogue|You|Remind him that if I fail, the Elder will claim my body as a new vessel.}}
{{Dialogue|You|With a new physical body, the Elder will propel the London Blood Clan to unprecedented power.}}
{{Dialogue|You|His cooperation is the only way to prevent this from happening.
*If Doctor Grey learns my true identity, any possibility of friendship would be utterly lost.}}
*The mere thought of that makes my heart ache.
*Choosing to save Jesse over his invitation on that day solidified this path.
*Roger stares at me intently, eventually nodding in silent understanding.
{{Dialogue|Vincent Savile|You can also tell him that I have been a part of the Blood Clan all along and possess the ability to turn humans.}}
*Vincent suddenly put his cold fingers on my shoulder and I look up at him in surprise.
{{Dialogue|Vincent Savile|If I can't stop the Elder from taking Caroline's body, I will turn her myself.}}
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|...}}
*Roger and Priscilla both gasp and turn their gaze towards me.
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|Is this true? Or is it just a threat?}}
{{Dialogue|You|Um...}}
*Roger suddenly smiles and stands up with great interest.
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|No need for explanations, I understand. Priscilla, let's go.}}
{{Dialogue|Roger Evans|I can't wait to see Edward Grey's expression when he hears this.}}
*As the two of them stride out of the greenhouse, I turn to Vincent with a frown.
{{Dialogue|You|This isn't funny, Vincent.}}
{{Dialogue|You|I won't let you do that. I won't let you compromise your own principles for me.}}
*He smiles, withdrawing his hand. His cool fingers brush lightly against my cheek, sending a tingle dancing across my skin.
{{Dialogue|Vincent Savile|Maybe principles aren't so set in stone, Caroline. Destiny is so unpredictable.}}
{{Dialogue|Vincent Savile|Maybe you'll meet someone who challenges your beliefs in a way you never expected.}}
<br/>
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|...}}
*My dagger is still pressed against the Elder's throat.
*Being so close to him fills me with an uncontrollable fear, and my fingers tremble slightly. I take a deep breath, trying my best to calm myself down.
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|Your hand is trembling, Caroline.}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|Hold it steady, you don't want to stab me by accident. It wouldn't be worth it.}}
*The Elder's calm tone still unsettles me.
{{Dialogue|You|What do I have to lose? Killing you will put an end to everything.}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|Then what are you waiting for?}}
{{Dialogue|You|...}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|You're afraid. You're afraid of losing Jesse Lindvall, aren't you?}}
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
<big>If you chose "Would you do it?" in 3-9</big>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
{{Dialogue|You|My dagger is closer to you now, Irad.}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|Distance does not affect the power of a blood bond, child. Otherwise, that traitor Oliver would have left London long ago.}}
*He casts Vincent, who's restraining Jesse, a cold glance. Jesse's eyes are filled with murderous intent.
*I tighten my grip on the dagger and take a deep breath.
{{Dialogue|You|So what? Once you're dead, the blood bond will be broken. Vincent and Jesse will be free.}}
*To my surprise, he bursts into laughter upon hearing those words.
</div></div>
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
<big>If you chose "There's something else I need you to do" in 3-9</big>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
{{Dialogue|You|I already know that you share a blood bond with Jesse, Irad.}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|Of course. You've got that traitor on your side, after all.}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|But even so, what can you do? Oliver himself still can't escape his blood bond and leave London.}}
*He casts Vincent, who's restraining Jesse, a cold glance. Jesse's eyes are filled with murderous intent.
{{Dialogue|You|Once you're dead, the blood bond will be broken. Vincent and Jesse will be free.}}
*To my surprise, he bursts into laughter upon hearing those words.
</div></div>
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|Sure, you can try killing me now with that little dagger.}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|But there will be plenty of time before I die for Jesse to kill himself.}}
{{Dialogue|You|You—!}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|Want to give it a try? Would it be quicker for a human to stab with a dagger or for the blood bond to take effect?}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|If you're willing to take that gamble, I'll be happy to oblige.}}
*He relaxes his body and folds his hands gracefully, completely unconcerned by the weapon I am holding against his neck.
*I tell myself he's just bluffing, trying to scare me into changing my mind...
*But my fingers won't stop shaking. Even my heart seems to tremble in sync.
{{Dialogue|You|(Stab him, Caroline! Stab him and it will all be over!)}}
*But my hand won't move at all.
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
<big>If you chose "Would you do it?" in 3-9</big>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*In the midst of the standoff, the Elder suddenly begins to speak in an uncharacteristically gentle tone.
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|You are very different from your mother, Caroline. You have a kind heart and care about others.}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|Because of that, I'm willing to make a deal with you. One that's mutually beneficial, of course.}}
{{Dialogue|You|What kind of deal?}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|I'll accept my loss tonight, and pay the price.}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|I'll break the blood bond, and you put away the dagger. We can settle this another time.}}
{{Dialogue|You|You call this mutually beneficial? If I can't put an end to you tonight, I'll have failed.}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|Don't push your luck, Caroline! Shouldn't you be more concerned about Jesse Lindvall?}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|I was once betrayed by the woman I deeply loved. I know the pain, and that's why I'm willing to give you a chance just this once!}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|So, will you accept this deal?}}
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
<big>Accept the deal</big>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
{{Dialogue|You|(If the blood bond on Jesse can truly be broken, the Elder will be truly alone.)}}
{{Dialogue|You|(Although I can't destroy the Elder now, he will be weakened, which is still an acceptable outcome.)}}
{{Dialogue|You|(The crucial thing is that if I take action now, I risk losing Jesse.)}}
*The Elder waits quietly for my response. My throat becomes dry from the tension.
{{Dialogue|You|(I must ensure Jesse's blood bond is truly broken first!)}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|Have you made up your mind?}}
{{Dialogue|You|You need to break Jesse's blood bond first.}}
{{Dialogue|Vincent Savile|...}}
*Vincent's body stiffens instantly. But he remains silent, offering no immediate objections.
{{Dialogue|You|Once you break the blood bond and set Jesse free, I'll withdraw my dagger.}}
*The Elder reveals a satisfied smile and calmly issues a command.
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|Smart choice. Jesse Lindvall, your master releases you from your blood bond.}}
*The Elder turns to Jesse and slowly speaks in an ancient tongue, his words arcane and ritualistic, like a chant.
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|You are free.}}
{{Dialogue|Jesse Lindvall|!}}
*Jesse's body jolts, and he clenches his hands as if in disbelief, savoring the feeling of regaining control of his body.
*His gaze sweeps blankly around before locking onto my face. A familiar expression flickers in his eyes, mirroring those of the Countess.
{{Dialogue|You|Jesse!}}
{{Dialogue|Jesse Lindvall|Caroline...}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|See, I didn't deceive you, Caroline. Now it's your turn to keep your promise.}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|I trust you wouldn't be as shameless as your mother, would you?}}
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
<big>If you chose "Doctor Grey" or "Vincent" in 3-1</big>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
{{Dialogue|You|I will.}}
*The instant I know Jesse is free, I plunge the silver dagger down without hesitation!
{{Dialogue|Vincent Savile|Caroline!}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|You—!}}
<br/>
*My wrist twists in an instant, and the excruciating pain forces a scream from my lips.
*The artery in my neck suddenly burns, and my limbs turn icy cold.
*Death seems to kiss my lips and slowly recede. I can faintly hear the Elder's furious roars in my ears.
*Who wins and who loses tonight?
*And who is the one kissing me now?
*Whose curse flows into my body through my lips, and who shares their life with me?
*<span style="color:#FF0000;">I will only know the answers to these questions when I awaken.</span>

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*I take a deep breath, only then realizing that my grip on the dagger is so tight that it's impossible for me to relax.
*The Elder waits silently for my next move. His blood-red eyes stare at me unblinking, exerting immense pressure.
{{Dialogue|You|(He kept his promise. So I should—)}}
{{Dialogue|Jesse Lindvall|Caroline, that's enough.}}
{{Dialogue|Jesse Lindvall|I'm glad you came to save me tonight. But now I have nowhere to go.}}
{{Dialogue|You|Jesse!}}
{{Dialogue|Jesse Lindvall|You can't think of me as your savior. I may have saved you... but I did it to atone for my sins.}}
{{Dialogue|Jesse Lindvall|It was me who told the Elder where you live...}}
{{Dialogue|You|Jesse! No, that doesn't matter, I won't blame you—}}
{{Dialogue|Jesse Lindvall|No, I just can't accept it myself.}}
*Jesse's voice is utterly calm. His crimson eyes gaze at me as he bares his heart.
{{Dialogue|Jesse Lindvall|Listen to me, Caroline. I don't fear death. It's just a peaceful, eternal slumber.}}
{{Dialogue|Jesse Lindvall|I've been prepared for it for a long time.}}
{{Dialogue|Jesse Lindvall|It's just that Edward's arrival delayed it...}}
*At the mention of that name, Jesse's voice trembles slightly.
*The Elder lets out a disdainful sneer. Vincent, however, listens on quietly.
{{Dialogue|Jesse Lindvall|I fear "living" like this more than death.}}
{{Dialogue|Jesse Lindvall|I went home once, and after that, I knew I had nowhere to go.}}
{{Dialogue|Jesse Lindvall|Jesse Lindvall is dead, and he should be dead. The vampire standing here has no name.}}
{{Dialogue|Jesse Lindvall|I don't want to be a creature without an identity.}}
*He closes his eyes and smiles softly, as if he has finally gathered enough courage from his words.
{{Dialogue|Jesse Lindvall|Destroy the Elder. Help me take care of my sister and bid farewell to Edward on my behalf.}}
{{Dialogue|Jesse Lindvall|Please set me free, Mr. Savile.}}
{{Dialogue|You|No, no, stop—}}
{{Dialogue|Vincent Savile|...}}
*Vincent stares at Jesse. His fingers still resting on Jesse's neck.
*The long, cold fingers, as if reaching across centuries, press down to grant the wish of the dying young man.
*In that moment, does he envy Jesse for having the courage to take the chance and choose his own destiny?
{{Dialogue|Vincent Savile|Caroline, get ready.}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|Darn—}}
<br/>
*I know what prompts me to swing the dagger. It is despair.
*A deep despair, like the end of the world, and vengeance.
*My arms, which I couldn't lift before, carry out Jesse's last words without regard for my intense emotions.
*I stab repeatedly and mechanically with my knife until rotten and charred skin splatters onto my face.
*I can no longer smell the stench that once made me nauseous.
*I continue until a cold hand stops me and tells me that the Elder is already dead.
*The Elder is dead. But did I win?
*I still ponder the question before I fall unconscious.

{{Dialogue|You|To save Jesse, I am willing to accept those terms.}}

{{Dialogue|William Akerman|She betrayed me first! I never wanted to let her leave. She forced me to agree!}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|She betrayed my love and trust! She's the shameless one!}}

{{Dialogue|You|Yet, you claim to be merciful, preach love, and falsely portray yourself as a wronged lover.}}
{{Dialogue|You|You're the shameless one, Irad.}}
*With his true intentions exposed, the Elder quickly sheds his pretense of gentleness and stares at me with a blank expression.
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|Ah, so Lavinia's daughter seeks vengeance for her mother.}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|You two are really alike. Cold and heartless to those who truly love you, yet you favor those weak and powerless humans.}}

*The gentle whisper carried to my ears by the night wind is suddenly followed by a deafening gunshot.
*The force of the bullet hits me too, and the powerful impact sends me backward, leaving my mind blank.
*Doctor Grey's appearance was all part of my plan.
*But why did he call him "Father"?!
*He holds his revolver, with a cold and calm expression I've never seen before.

{{Dialogue|Vincent Savile|Caroline, trust me.}}
*In the midst of the standoff, Vincent, who had been restraining Jesse all along, suddenly speaks up.
*His fingers are still pressed against Jesse's neck. Jesse has not moved an inch. There's no telling if it is due to the blood bond or Vincent's threat.
{{Dialogue|Vincent Savile|Believe in our plan.}}
{{Dialogue|William Akerman|...}}
*William Akerman's eyes flash with uncertainty and awareness. Vincent gives me a quick look.

{{Dialogue|William Akerman|...}}
{{Dialogue|You|It's funny to think how I used to believe that my mother really loved you, and even questioned my parents' marriage...}}
