Another scrap of paper[sr]with Mnemosyne written on it! [k] ?1:What does this mean? ?! [charaFace A 0] @Reines It's simple once you figure it out. Remember what[sr]I told you about how Pseudo-Servants like me... [k] @Reines ...are made by having a Heroic Spirit possess a human vessel? Well, it's the same principle at work here. [k] @Reines This automaton was given a specific person's memories, causing them to behave as if they were that person. [k] @Reines I'd guess this piece of paper is infused with[sr]magical energy designed to facilitate that. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Reines The queen, M, and Shakespeare knew that,[sr]but they all forgot as well. [k] ?1:That's just like what happened at the last patchwork! ?2:So it's like the River Lethe... ?!

[k] [charaFace B 4] @M So he ended up wandering around[sr]the Tower of London as a ghost... [k] @M Yes... That's why I[line 2]ah, Shakespeare and I decided to create him ourselves! [k] [charaFace B 0] @M I came up with the plan, and Shakespeare wrote it out. That piece of paper we happened across even provided us with the magical energy we needed! [k] @M When we were done, we introduced our Salieri[sr]to the queen, and she accepted him as he was. [k] [charaFace B 4] @M So then...how could we forget?[sr]How could I have forgotten?

[k] @Reines There's a reason why you need to tune delicate instruments before and after using them, after all. [k] @Reines When you all forgot the truth about your[sr]automaton pianist, and stopped tuning it... [k] [charaFace A 4] @Reines ...its interior workings must have deteriorated,[sr]culminating in it actually trying to harm us. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @M What a farce this turned out to be...[sr]Still, I suppose I should be grateful to you two. [k] [charaFace B 4] @M If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even be around[sr]to see this little show come to an end. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Reines Where did you get this automaton in the first place? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @M It's been around for a long time. I believe[sr]it was built by a puppeteer from the Far East. [k] @M As I recall, it was a failed creation of theirs[sr]that was only ever useful as a prototype. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Reines ...Hmph. I can guess who that might be. [k] ?1:I thought M was going to be the bad guy here... ?2:I was so sure M was up to something... ?! [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 2] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @M You wound me! Do I look like a villain to you!? [k] ?1:Absolutely. ?2:I'm sorry. ?! [charaFace B 4] @M Oh... Well, I can't say you're wrong. [k] @M But I truly did love that piano. It was beautiful. [k] [charaFace B 0] @M Good, evil, none of that matters in the presence of true beauty. Even if we measure such things by different standards, they cannot be ignored. [k] @M For there is great worth in beauty... [k] [charaFace B 1] @M ...That's why I wanted to let Salieri's music[sr]echo across this patchwork, even as a ghost. [k] @M I wanted everyone to hear it,[sr]and to see them dancing in delight. [k] [charaFace B 0] @M That's all I ever wanted. [k] ?1:How did you figure it out, Reines? ?! [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Reines Intuition, really. But, if I had to elaborate... [k] @Reines It's because the music we heard at the masquerade ball reminded you of Antonio Salieri. [k] @Reines When asked to name a musician Servant,[sr]most people would think of Mozart. [k] @Reines But in this case, you thought of Salieri, an Avenger.[sr]There must have been a reason for that. [k] [charaFace A 5] @Reines That's the whydunit. [k] @Reines I'd guess you thought the music was incomplete somehow.[sr]And not because Salieri isn't as good as Mozart. [k] @Reines This isn't about skill, or talent,[sr]or even the performer's particular habits. [k] @Reines Rather, this is owed to the fact that the music was being played so expertly that it gave you a peek into the performer's soul. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Reines And what you saw was no doubt incomplete[sr]and unstable...just like Salieri once was. [k] [messageOff] [charaFace A 4] [wt 1.0] [charaFace A 0] @Reines From there, once I got the hints about forgetfulness,[sr]ghosts, and Pseudo-Servants, the rest was easy. [k] @Reines We knew forgetfulness was a big thing here,[sr]thanks to the last patchwork... [k] @Reines ...so it wasn't hard to guess from there that this automaton was a vessel for our pianist, whether it was indeed Salieri or not. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @M Hmm... That doesn't make much logical sense, but I suppose that sort of deduction flies when one is braving the world of Mystics.
