SynopsisEdit

Good morning. The Golden Witch impatiently awaits you.
Please accept her as your opponent.

Being well rested, have you managed to think carefully about your next move?
The Witch expects great things of you, from the opening on; in this wager, put in all your spirit. I, too, look foward to your next move.

The difficulty is first-rate.
The Witch intends to make you surrender with no warning.

This arc revolves around the first direct confrontation between Battler and Beatrice, both of whom are granted an alternate, independent existence to participate in the events of the story. Unlike the first chapter, Beatrice plays a direct role in the game and brings more supernatural details to light, including hidden powers of some of the island's residents and the introduction of the Seven Sisters of Purgatory. The chapter is narrated by several characters, including an omniscient narrator, and presents information on the relationships between Jessica and Kanon, George and Shannon, and Maria and Rosa. Shannon's past is also heavily mentioned.
