The damage on a Chain affects the Contractor, too?
Then if you kill the Chain...
Alice, no!
Stop attacking it!
What?
He's... He's Phillipe's...
What nonsense are you spouting now?!
Oz!
You will pay with your life for turning on me!
Alice!
Don't I have any way to stop Alice?
Don't I?!
Yes, you do.
Try to remember...
You should be able to take the reins. You hold that right.
Die!
Stop, Alice!
I can't move!
My powers are being suppressed?!
What's going on?!
See?
I said you could, didn't I?
"Stacked Shadows"
Could it be...
Could it be that...
...something happened to Dad?
Can you let go of my hand?
Dad hasn't come home for three days.
But that's not the first time it happened!
Dad will be back, right?!
I don't want to be left alone.
Phillipe...
It's okay.
I'll bring your dad back to you.
I felt so happy...
When he talked about his father with such a huge smile!
But Dad spends a lot more time with me now!
Because I can say he's different from me!
So, why?!
Get away!
Oz!
Why would you do this?
Why?!
Why did you make a contract with a Chain?!
Oz!
You have Phillipe! So, why?!
You want to know why?
Why did I make a contract with a Chain?
There's only one reason!
It's for Phillipe!
I'm going to change the past for Phillipe's sake!
If only I didn't sign that contract back then, we wouldn't have lost our standing!
If only I didn't leave her in that quack's care, my wife would still be alive!
If only I didn't trust those thieves, we wouldn't be left in this destitute state!
Everything. Everything!
If I can redo these things, I can bring Phillipe happiness!
What's wrong with that?!
You're doing this for Phillipe?
Th-That's right!
I've committed murders for the sake of my son!
Your son...
For your son...
If I were alone, I would have no trouble surviving!
But Phillipe is still a child!
I have a duty to make him happy!
At this rate, Phillipe will have nothing but misfortune!
I can't stand that! That's why I!
Do you seriously think that?!
Of course I do! I am a father!
I will do anything for Phillipe!
Oz!
What do you...
What do you know about me?!
I don't give a damn about you.
Why?!
Why aren't you by Phillipe's side?!
Why can't you be with him?!
He's your son, isn't he?!
So, why?!
I...
I don't want to be left alone.
You're supposed to be his father!
Gilbert has been sent to the underground room as punishment.
The Master has also said I am not to let you go outside.
Don't leave me by myself...
Father...
There's no need to redo the past!
All he wants is someone to say they'll always be there for him!
All he needs is for you to be by his side!
That's all Phillipe needs to be happy!
Oz... You're...
I...
This photograph...
Phillipe had the same one.
Phillipe...
Oz...
O-Oz?
Oz!
Dammit!
Don't shoot!
If you can go to him one last time...
Don't worry, Phillipe! I'll get your dad back!
Damn it!
Oz!
This is bad!
Oz!
Let go of me, Gil...
Why did you shoot him?!
No! It wasn't me!
He was Phillilpe's...
I said I didn't shoot him!
I shot him.
I had no choice. That boy was in grave danger.
Besides, that man's options were limited to living in Abyss or death.
That's why...
It couldn't be helped.
Vincent!
Vincent?
By orders of my master Vincent, I have come for that child.
Vince! You still have your carriage, right?!
Yeah. It's around.
I want to take Oz somewhere safe. Let me borrow it.
Gil, no! I have to tell Phillipe...
Just shut up!
I don't mind, Gil.
I'll always do any favor you ask.
You'll have to excuse us for visiting this late, Miss Rainsworth.
It's quite all right.
Gil was throwing a fit about not wanting to go back to the Nightray home.
Well then. We should get going, Echo.
Yes.
You're leaving already?
Yes. Though I wanted to speak with Gil some more...
There are things I must take care of...
And unlike Gil, it seems I'm not very welcome here.
Let me walk you to the entrance, Sir Vincent.
Why, thank you.
Take care, Sir Vincent.
As usual, he can be so unfriendly.
You're right about that. Or you could say he doesn't speak his mind very often.
But I find that bashful side of him just adorable.
Yeah, whatever.
I know everything about Gil.
We have a bond of blood, you know?
...My master.
It should be my job to protect my master!
Yet, he...
Don't shoot!
He threw himself in danger like that...
You must really care for Sir Oz.
But I believe there is something else you must do right now.
It's something very important.
You still haven't told him about yourself.
If I can redo these things, I can bring happiness for Phillipe!
I am a father! I will do anything for Phillipe!
That's still no reason to kill other people.
Is that how fathers are supposed to be?
As for me...
That child should never have been born.
Fath...
Don't touch me!
Filthy little thing.
Father... If you don't need me...
Why am I here?
Where am I supposed to go?
Do I have to live on my own?
I didn't want Phillipe to experience the same things I did.
You surprised me.
Alice...
I didn't know you could get angry like that.
Oh, that.
All he needs is for you to be by his side!
I was angry?
You weren't? You seemed like a completely different person.
Well, I'm not too sure about that.
I didn't really know what was coming out of my mouth at the time.
I promised him... I promised Phillipe I'd bring his father back to him.
But I was helpless.
It's not your fault.
There was no way anyone could save that man.
But...
You heard kelp head talk about how you shouldn't get further involved in this.
But I couldn't keep my promise...
I can't bring myself to accept that.
Just thinking about how he's all alone, waiting for his father...
I...
Alone...
I don't understand why you're agonizing over this.
I personally don't care what happens to that kid.
But...
Even I know that being alone feels "cold."
Even Chains...
...understand that.
You're sad that the little kid is feeling cold.
Sad...
Yeah, I guess...
I guess so.
That outfit...
Were you planning on going to Pandora at this hour?
Yes. There was something I wanted to investigate.
Oh? What could that be?
This is just a personal supposition...
But I believe there is a possibility that...
...Grim's escape was assisted by a mole in Pandora.
That somebody may have feared the leaking of some kind of information.
He let it escape, as not to arouse suspicion it was an internal job...
...so he may later erase it in secret, or perhaps kill it as if it were an accident.
I didn't have a choice! It was to save a child in danger!
Or something like that.
That's an excuse he may use.
That sounds terrible...
The very thought of a traitor existing within the organization...
Worry not.
If there really is someone like that... No matter who they may be...
I will hunt them down at all costs.
Well now...
I can't wait to see that.

If I can bring that light back...
Agonizing over the past won't change a thing.
It will only make you lose sight of the truth.
I can't do anything that would betray Master Oz's trust!
All the dots connect...
...eventually gathering to a single point.
