A cold, delicate hand grabs yours and pulls. It pulls, and it pulls... there's a sense of urgency in this icy grasp, as well as a trace of reluctance. Abruptly the hand let's go, right as your vision fades to black, and for a brief moment, only a brief moment, your senses disappear. There's only the eerie sensation of weightlessness before your feet are settled back on solid ground again.

"...I did. But I only did it because I had to protect myself. My garden. You see... the same person who just killed you had threatened to kill me. But, she said if I severed Happiness's limbs, she would leave me be."

Janta shudders. Coping continues.

"I did as she asked. But..."

[...]

Don't—hurt your happiness, for whoever that was. Your happiness is important. And... happiness can help you cope, because you will know that happiness is there. I understand that it is not always possible to be happy, but, happiness is still important, and the idea of happy things, can help you cope.

There's a silence.

"I... I see. I'm sorry. I was just afraid..."

I would be afraid, too. There are some scary things, in here.

But, remember that you can be a badass, so, even if things are scary, just... keep going, as long as you are also careful in the process.

There's the rustling of her hair...? Or something. She's nodding, anyway.

Janta relaxes a bit, speaking up this time.

"I still don't know who it was... but it wasn't Zwei. Even if it was dressed like her..."

... I don't know, either.

[...]

Is there a third personality?

"NO."

...they both say that at the same time in flat voices.

"It was not Zwei though, because she cannot escape the bounds of this building..."

[................]

Is there a list of the different versions of Hails, that I could refer to, then?

"In the heart? There's Nurse Hail, Coping, Happiness—that's me! ... and True Heart! And then... there's that other person who acts like Zwei. But we don't think it's Zwei, right?"

Silence.

"Coping says yes, you did not see her nod!"

[.......................]

Out of that list, the only one that I have not met is the True Heart. Is it possible, for a true heart to go crazy?

"No! Impossible! True Heart is Hail's ideal, and she's on constant watch by Coping."

[:/a...]

Coping, do you know where True Heart is?

Silence.

Janta chimes in.

"Coping has nodded, she says y—"

Coping cuts its voice off.

"Quiet. True Heart is accessible through the ballroom... I suppose, the new trauma center. The entrance to her room is through the grandfather clock."

Could you lead me there?

[working on ... getting off of the bed to go \o/;;]

I want to meet True Heart.

Coping takes your hand.

"Allow me to lead you to her."

Without a moment's thought, she begins walking you directly to the ballroom.
