After I read it, the whole thing disintegrated in my hands and changed into an orb. I can't quote it word for word, but there were little excerpts. She spoke about having a brother. That they took him away sometimes, and something about 'if they don't pick me, they pick him.'

She also said she figured out how to get out of the chains but couldn't tell anyone, but liked looking out the window.

. . . It got even more messed up after that. Wanted their family to visit, and noted it had been a long time. Said they sent them books and shit sometimes, but it would be nicer if they came.

After that... it dissolved into apologies and begging her mother to pick her up, and the rest turned into incomprehensible scribbles and torn pages.

...What a life to live. But I suppose we can try the number 003.

It seriously pisses me off. What kind of sick ass fuckers do that to a kid?

I did find a note hidden behind a clock. "I promise to show you the ending of our story." I don't think that's helpful to any kind of password. My best guess is 003 as well.

...I wonder...

Could that girl have been the Showmaster...?

. . . You think so? I don't really know for sure what she looked like. I did take some pictures from the wall, which I assumed was the family, but I don't really know. I also recorded some of it since I couldn't take everything back with me.

It's just an idle guess. There was someone who looked a lot like her... Hex thought it might be her brother.

[He pulls one of the pictures with a bunch of people in it out of the bag.]

Anyone recognizable to you?

Hm? Where'd you find this?

[Taking a look!]

I took it off the wall in that house with the chains. There were a crap ton of pictures like this in one of the hallways.

Were they all of the same people?

Everyone in the pictures, as far as I can remember, all looked as though they were probably related.

...It really does look like her. I think she must have been the girl you learned about after all.

[HEAVY SIGH.]

I don't want to feel bad for her.

[ . . . If she was the little girl, though, then he kind of does.]

...Just because she had a pitiful life doesn't mean I'll be forgiving her anytime soon.

Good. I hope people hold her accountable. None of this should have ever been allowed.

You'll be holding her accountable too, right?

[Don't pity her she sucks!!]

Well YEAH. Why do you think I went for the revenge option in that one game?

[ . . . . . Though all he did was get the truth serum.]

...Which one game?

[Was it one he was even alive enough at the end to see...]

That thing before we docked. Where everyone voted on who would get what prizes from the ticketmaster.

I don't think I was there for that?

You didn't miss much. Regardless, I was allowed to take out any kind of revenge I wanted on the Showmaster.

And your revenge is... truth serum?

I thought forcing her to listen to the most annoying song on repeat for a week straight with no escape would have been a good one.

But Ticketmaster said she'd like it too much.

...You know, I could actually see it.

[There is certainly a resemblance to Showmaster, that is for sure. They look like they wear elegant, dark clothing, lace and the like, long hair is usually tied up, etc. Very Showmaster like qualities.

Once small child especially and she is standing next to presumably siblings or cousins in a couple photos there. She seemed happy.]
