Tears flowed down Aya's face as she stepped away from her father's side. "I'm sorry…. Father… Mom… She loves you more than anyone… I… can't take you away from her."

"A…ya…" Her father said, staring at her in disbelief.

She collapsed. "I'm… sor..ry…" She sniffed as her mother dragged her father away.

Everything blacked out.

After a little while, Aya awoke. "…Hm? Where am I…? Did I make it back?" She looked around. "…It's just me, now…" She said glumly, as she rested her back against a covered glass tube and sat down. After a while, a crow landed on a nearby table and stared at her. It was somehow comforting to Aya.

She began to observe the lab she was in; very dusty and cobweb lined, piles of crates and glass tubes stood around and some extremely life-like dolls stood along the north wall; one looking Victorian, one wearing armor and having a dog head, and one wearing a lovely wedding dress and veil, her face showing pure bliss.

Aya backed away slowly, but not out of fear and exited the room, coming into a small hallway. All the hallway had was another crow pecking at the ground and a mannequin behind the door.

She walked in silence through another long hallway until she got to a door she couldn't open. She shrugged and went back. She was about to go back through the doorway, but then noticed a lever hanging next to it. Hm, must've missed it… She thought as she pulled it down and heard the door unlock. She walked through and rounded a corner to be met with Maria lying unconscious on the ground.

Aya gasped. "Maria!" Maria stirred as Aya kneeled by her side.

"…W…Where is this?" She stood up and faced Aya. "Mistress?" Suddenly she gasped and took hold of Aya's shoulders. "Where's the doctor?! What happened to him?!"

When Aya didn't respond quick enough, Maria began to shake her. "Mistress! The doctor!" Aya looked down. "…N-No… he…" She collapses. "Doctor… doctor!" Maria called out as she began to cry.

Aya stood in the chapel quietly, standing in front of the alter. "….it's so quiet… the curse must have faded… and father's gone… I'm sure this was for the best. No one will be hurt by father's experiments anymore. You'd say the same thing… Mom… But, now what do I do? I don't have a father or mother… I'm alone….no I shouldn't say that… After all, I have to live alone from now on."

She began to walk down the aisle, but stopped halfway down. "Maria, you can go back home… but if you have nowhere to go, then…" She walked away and was about to leave before Maria stood and caught up with her.

"Uh, Maria-"

Maria suddenly pressed on of her pressure points until Aya passed out. She awoke later lying on a table in her father's lab, wearing a plain grey patient's dress. She seemed to be paralyzed and couldn't move or speak.

Maria walked in and stood next to Aya. "Doctor… you are no longer with us… but please, take heart… I shall take on the duty…the future you wished for the mistress, I shall see out… So please… rest in peace. Doctor, I love you…
