There are no evil spirits around you, so can I go now?

Memories are the vessels of fate, and your fate once came to an abrupt end. That's why the spirits have stopped haunting you, for now. But I can still see their traces, very clearly... Doctor, you should take me seriously... For your own good.

You can talk to Morte about your troubles. It's okay, Morte will help. Once you fall asleep, all your problems will be solved.

The feelings that make people cry are just food for Morte, so I don't cry much. Is that a bad thing?

The true face of the curse? You want to see what's inside Morte's tummy? No... at least not now... That would hurt Morte too. Right. Anyone who hurts Morte will writhe in pain. For real.

The checklist is still missing a few items: balls of yarn, used buttons, fresh apples, soil from Laterano, crushed CRTs... Doctor, help me.

Here, this apple's for you. It's just a leftover reagent, and I don't like letting things go to waste... Why are you thanking me? I just said it wasn't specifically for you... Hey, why are you patting my head, stop it... Fine.

Because I have Morte, I don't need emotions. But when people tell me I'm doing good, I feel strange inside... And Morte doesn't want to take those emotions away, which makes me...feel off... It's totally normal? Really? In that case... I guess it's fine.

Doctor, here. This is Morte's puppet, make sure to keep it with you at all times... A curse? N-No, Doctor... If you take it, it'll be like I'm always by your side... You can't?

Sweet slumber~♪ Sweet slumber~♪ Be devoured by your dreams~♪

My new name is Shamare... and this is Morte... As for the other things... it's best you don't find out. Like Morte said, it's for everyone's sake…

These things won't help with the ritual…

Stuff the cotton, sew the mouth shut, plug the ears, and cover the eyes...There, a new doll is done.

Morte doesn't need a ritual like this, but…I… I'm happy. We'll both do our best.

Work? Got it.

If only they could be as well-behaved as Morte, that'd be nice.

Morte, it's time to go.

Today's fortune is… Oh, that's really bad news for you guys.

What's up?

Everyone's ready.

It's time to play, Morte.

Your hate, I'll take it all.

Go forth, Morte.

Rest in peace, and let the land embrace all.

Who is it?

You won't be going home.

The evil spirits, they're all gone now.

A predestined victory, just as they whispered.

Some may have gotten away, but it doesn't matter. Morte has already sealed their fates.

Curse... you...

This place... reeks of evil spirits... Not bad.

What is it?

Join in my needlework? Okay. Morte's also very happy…

Arknights.

Doctor, I saw you leave the office. There's a lot of people outside today... New Year's? It's so noisy, what are they all doing? Morte doesn't like these holidays. Could you make a talisman with me? If you put an apple stem inside, it'll help you avoid curses.

Hello, Doctor, and, uh...

Give me your hand. Place your fingers here, and make a sign like this… Got it, Doctor? This is a curse. When someone's mean to you, you can fill their whole body with pain. Me? Mm, I don't abuse it, I'm just teaching it to you.

Fur, shiny pebbles, candies, spices, and most importantly, drawing on a smile… Doctor, this is a new doll-making method I've learned. Cute, isn't it? Uhm…
