Marisa hadn't been this terrified in a while. She raced through the mansion trying to find her way out, but somehow the corridors had become like a maze. Turning another hallway, she found herself back in the atrium, but something was different. The window in the ceiling had been repaired, and there were no corridors leading out of the room. The music had begun playing once more and in the center of the room were three girls. Marisa recognized them as the sisters of Layla, who'd been murdered and placed into a pile in the corner of the room. The three sisters were individually playing the music that had led Marisa into the mansion in the first place. The sister in the middle stopped playing her trumpet and looked up to gaze at Marisa's awe-stricken face.
"Damnit, Merlin! Why'd you stop playing again?" The sister holding the violin stopped playing, and turned on the sister in the middle.
"I'm sorry! It's just...the witch girl is here..."
"Hey, I'll have you know, the name's Marisa." Marisa shouted at the bickering sisters.
"Nice to me-" Merlin started, but she was interrupted by the sister with the piano.
"Merlin, just keep your lips on your trumpet, please."
"B-but Lyrica!" She cried out.
"No buts," The violin playing sister replied. "Lyrica is right. We must finish practicing this song for Madame Saigyouji."
Marisa was sick of being ignored. "Hey! Who is this Saigyouji chick? Where is she?"
The three sisters turned to look at the witch. In unison they replied, "The lady of death is always waiting for newcomers!"
Then, Layla appeared above them. Her neck hung from a rope attached to the ceiling, the window back to it's normal state of being destroyed. It seemed to have been pulled down from the weight of the girl. Blood dripped down onto the floor from the girl's ripped clothing and onto the carpet below. Suddenly, bright lights filled the room as the three sisters began playing a song. Danmaku filled the room, casting shadows everywhere. Their light illuminated the dead girl hanging from the ceiling.
"Hey, Lunasa! I think it's time for some heavy tunes! How about we go out with a bang tonight?" Lyrica winked at Lunasa.
"Sounds good to me!" Lunasa replied as Lyrica slammed her fingers down on the piano keys. With each note she started playing, danmaku began spinning to the tempo of the song. Merlin picked up the trumpet floating next to her and pressed it to her lips. Blowing into it, and pressed the pistons in unison with Lunasa, the danmaku began spawning more rapidly than Marisa could handle, as she jumped on her broom and began dodging bullets as they spun around the room. Finally, Lunasa picked up her violin and rested it softly on her chin and shoulder. She placed the bow on the instrument and began to slide it along the neck. The powerful music of all three sisters playing in unison was causing havoc for Marisa and her broomstick. She ducked and rolled as danmaku came careening around her. "I've had enough of this! Poltergeists or not, you're going down!" She aimed her hakkero at the three sisters and cast her famous spell, "Love Colored Master Spark!" The explosion blasting from Marisa's weapon of choice rocketed towards the sisters, but they were ready for it. The three sisters grouped together and chanted loudly, "Prism Concerto!" A shield of bullets appeared around the three, causing Marisa's hakkero to bounce off and hit a wall nearby. Unfortunately for the ghosts, the sun had not completely set yet and so the light from the sun stuck their spell directly, causing it to end immediately.
"Dammit Merlin! Play faster!" Lunasa yelled, causing the trumpeter to cry softly into her trumpet.
"Hey, don't be so hard on her Lunasa, she can only play as fast as my tempo is going!" Lyrica shouted at Lunasa. Lyrica glared at Lunasa and the two began to bicker about tempo and melody. Merlin continued playing her trumpet, not wanting to be yelled at. Marisa just stared at the three as they argued and the danmaku disappeared.
"Uh...hey...guys?" Marisa said, floating above the mansion floor.
"What, can't you see we're busy?" The two sisters yelled back at Marisa. Suddenly, a large piece of the ceiling came crashing down on Marisa's head. Marisa felt her mind go blank as she blacked out from the pain.
