"Sorry for interrupting, but may I speak to you for a moment?" says a new voice.

Vincent turns to see someone standing right beside Keine. He jumps slightly at her sudden entrance. When did she come inside? He didn't hear anything at all. He quickly looks around, but for some reason, the others don't seem surprised.

Looking closer, the girl standing beside Keine seems to be dressed in a French maid's outfit with a white bonnet over her long silver hair. She seems to be ignoring their presence completely as she whispers something to Keine. He can't hear what they are talking about from here.

"How annoying," comments Komachi idly. "We were here first, you know?"

The maid pulls out a piece of paper from her dress and gives it to Keine. The schoolteacher takes a moment to examine it. Then, she turns back to the maid and gives her a nod and a smile.

"I think we can handle it," says Keine. "I'll have it delivered as soon as I can."

The silver-haired girl gives her a low bow.

"Thank you very much," says the maid. "Lady Remilia will appreciate your assistance."

Suddenly, she turns to them. Her eyes only pause slightly at Chen and Komachi before stopping at Vincent. She stares at him with an icy expression upon her face, as if watching a pig on the way to the slaughterhouse.

"I haven't seen you here before," she says coldly.

"Err.. umm..." mumbles Vincent, unsure of how to react.

"His name is Vincent," says Komachi suddenly. "He is a guest of Hakugyokurou. I brought him here to visit the Village to show him around."

The maid gazes at him for a few more moments before turning away.

"I suppose it isn't any of my business," she says. "I must get back to the Mansion. There are a lot of things left undone."

"Now Sakuya," says Keine gently. "Why don't you introduce yourself before you leave? It isn't often we have visitors from the Outside."

The girl named Sakuya turns back to Keine, looking at her carefully. After a few moments, she turns back to Vincent.

"My name is Sakuya Izayoi," she says. "I serve the vampires of the Scarlet Devil Mansion."

Suddenly, Vincent's chest grows agonizingly painful. He crumples down on the ground as a series of images flash in his mind. A dark place. The walking dead. Two girls standing before a doorway, both wielding incredibly destructive powers. A duel. His sword glinting under the torchlight. Claws. Red Eyes. No, not red. Scarlet.

Then... nothing.

"A-are you feeling alright?" says a distant voice.

Someone small is shaking him from the side.

"Get up big brother!" cries another voice.

Both Chen and Komachi seem to be calling out to him, but he can't hear anything. Keine looks like she is rummaging through her drawers for some medicine. The girl named Sakuya simply watches him without emotion.

Then, another voice whispers to him through the commotion.

"You are going to die here," it whispers. "Kill them before you get killed. It's the only way."

Fight...or flee?
[ ] Kill Keine.
[ ] Kill Sakuya.
[ ] Kill them both.
[ ] Grab Chen and run.
[ ] Grab Komachi and run.
[ ] Grab them both and run.
[ ] Escape alone.

There must be another way out of this...
[ ] Break away from this madness. (Specify how. You might need to do something drastic for it to work.)
