Someone in the past: when the three old witches unlock the room, you'll see the belongings of the dead young ladies stacked like a tower!
Letitia
*stop at a locked door*
Letitia
what's this room for?
Bastian
you'll find out soon enough~
Letitia
**so it's all true!!**
Letitia
*lying on the bed*
Letitia
**maybe it would've been better to be killed by the imps**
Letitia
**then I could've gone on to my next life and start afresh**
Letitia
**do the three witches really eat girls? are they going to sacrifice me?**
Letitia

**this castle is huge...**
Letitia
**will I be able to escape from here?**
Letitia
*walk down the hall*
Letitia
**but even if I make it...**
Letitia
