[The first part of the message is just meant for the Shepherds, but Henry doesn't bother to make it private. Mostly because he's still a little too dizzy to remember how to do that again.]

So, uh... One of our doors is broken now. It's the one to Alice's room, specifically. I figured I should let someone know, because I'm pretty sure we should get that fixed!

We'll need to get new wood though, because my blood is on a few parts of it.

And also a piece of it is kind of lodged in my arm. So I don't think we can use that anymore.

[Should he have mentioned that part first? Oh well.]

I really hope that this curse or whatever ends soon! It's not nearly as much fun as the previous ones.

[havesomedeath]

Huh? I'm just asking questions, that's all! You're kind of paranoid, aren't you?

voice;

[rosettawall]

No, I'm onto you...

Your magic, you've- you've gotten in her head...

That's why she was scared...! Not because of me!

voice;

[havesomedeath]

Wait, huh?

You think I cursed her into being freaked out by you?

voice;

[rosettawall]

Yes, yes, of course...!

That's the only thing that makes sense...!

voice;

[havesomedeath]

Uh, is it really? That sounds kinda weird.

I don't go around cursing crewmates, you know!

voice;

[rosettawall]

How would I know that?!

Rikka-chan would never mistrust me before now!

[Sounding a bit... coming apart there, Alice]

voice;

[havesomedeath]

She also probably never saw you acting like this before now.

voice;

[rosettawall]

I am fine!

[Sound of something, uh. Smashing. There's probably something else broken in Alice's room now.]

You people... it's because of all you other people...!

voice;

[havesomedeath]

Oh. Uh... Did you break something else? I'll just make a note to go fix that later.

[Wow he's just fucking up left and right, isn't he? Why do people even let him talk to anyone?]

You should probably calm down, Alice. No one's turning Rikka against you! And I haven't used my magic on her, promise.

voice;

[rosettawall]

No, you are! You have! I understand it now!

I- I have to save her...

[She is... crying now? Or laughing? ...both?]

I have to... th- that's the only way, isn't it...? To make it so she can no longer suffer at the hands of you people...

[And the book shuts.

If you listen, you can probably hear that sobbing laughter in the ship.]
