"My Father, Battler's Grandfather, believed in witchcraft. He devoted a sizable amount of his fortune, his time, and his love and emotions into it. So much so he had none left to spare for any of the rest of his family. We all even had a name and eventually a face for what he was trying to do: use occult spells to summon his beautiful and beloved witch, Beatrice. I knew it. My siblings knew it. My mother knew it.
Then, what does it say, that after Rin-chan dies, Battler tells me he's beginning to understand Father's motivations...? It makes one such as I very, very scared. It raises itself as a red flag. Maybe... maybe it is worrisome. Though, maybe not."
A long pause, then she added:
"I would like very much for Battler to walk out of here with me."
