Cain recalls his dream - the farewell to his grandfather:
Just before grandfather died, the music that was playing there was this song...

Uncle Neel: "Well you remembered well. This was the song the Earl loved <Cain's grandfather> Yes, 'Zigeunerweisen' meaning gypsy. It's a song of the people who wander loving boundless freedom..."

Cain recalls the gypsy girl whom he met earlier in this evening:
Ggypsy...

Uncle Neel: "Delilah was originally a club created by that Earl. At that time there wasn't even a name for it... It was meant to be a purely medical research organisation aiming to discover the 'secrets of life'. It was the appearance of Alexial who was being called the genius child at that time that changed this organisation. He finally spread his arms into fields of magic and psyche, conducting inhumane experiments. It became an enormous secret organisation without anyone noticing. Full control passed into Alex's hands and the name too became Delilah.", holds some documents in hands, "...Tthis is the last report that the dead detective sent me."

The Document:
- The secret organisation Delilah has Alexial who is been called Card Master as it's head. First class is Major Arcana, Second class is Minor Arcana, under these are ranks with the whole deck of cards forming a complete hierachy. The Major Arcana consist of members with roles named from the cards in Tarot. They follow orders from those above them unquestioningly, and amongst them there are aristocrats, as well as the average men and not all of them are doctors, various types of occupations exist

Uncle Neel: "It seems that amongst those cards.... there is also Alexial's adopted son..."

Cain recalls that crazy doctor with long curly hair: "...I know...!"

Uncle Neel continues: "It seems that he is involved in every strange case that happened, but the police too can't catch his real identity. But...it's certain that since Alex is the shadow behind these there must be some awful conspiracy...!"

Cain: " . . . "

Uncle Neel: "Cain, I...did admire the intelligent Augusta. But I had never once saw her in you, it's not something like that....it's just.... that when you were born.... you were alone but not even crying a single bit, you just opened up your big eyes, when I saw this little life in front of me.... I really did just reached out to touch you on a whim at that moment...."

Uncle Neel thinks back to how baby Cain had clutched at his finger with his small hand, large eyes staring back at him:
... It was really only that much.....

Uncle Neel (sits back with his back bent, eyes staring at his feet): "Yes...I only thought.... that I wanted to hold this small hand... that's all...."

Cain murmurs inside:
What have I been looking at in Uncle all this time? What have I been doing...to all these people by my side who surround me with love not asking anything back from me..

He then thinks back to what the gypsy has said to him earlier:
"You make yourself an outsider"

Cain walks slowly towards his sitting uncle and reached out to touch his shoulder, slowly, slowly Cain embraced his uncle warmly.

Cain (saw the half moon): Ah... the mist cleared up.... the moon....the moon....

Cain's eyes grow wide as he saw a cloaked woman standing on top of the bridge that their boat was about to pass through. She has a bow in her hand, aiming at them.

" MOON, Because the moon is on my side ------"

The arrow fired from the bow went straight into Neel's back, blood gushing out from the wound instantly, as Cain watched in horror his uncle falling off from his embrace.

Cain : "UNCLE NEL . . . ! ! "

Cain stares at that girl:
That girl---Iit was the gypsy I saw before...!! It was the cloaked person who saved father just then!! She was an assassin from Delilah! The Moon card !!!~

Cain (kneeed down and comforts Uncle Neel who is bleeding seriously): "Uncle!! Uncle!!"

Cain:
God or devil... Or just anyone please save him ... !

Cain frantically tries to do something to help his uncle:
This is not working...!

...No wait...that's no good.... if I am like this, this cycle of despair won't end...!! There is no spell that could get me away from father's curse, but I will not let him take away my loved ones anymore.This battle won't end... until either mine or father's blood is shed...!!!

Someone is playing the violion

= At Uncle Neel's House, outside the room =

" So that means Mr. Neel is..."

" Yes, right now it is a miracle that he is able to survive, but as there is a special gun powder hidden inside the point of the arrow, it's hard to remove all the broken pieces from it that got fired into his body...so we still don't know if he would be carry out his normal lifestyle like before..."

= Inside the room=
Uncle Neel is lying on his bed with Cain sitting on a seat next to the bed looking very concerned.

Uncle Neel reaches up to touch the side of Cain's face with his hand: "...As long as you are okay I don't care...Don't do anymore dangerous acts..."

Cain leans over and places his own hand onto Uncle Neel's: "...I know..."

Cain then left the room.

Riff is already waiting for his master with his coat in hand.

Cain (put on his leather gloves while Riff is placing an overcoat on him): "I will not do dangerous acts that will worry Uncle. Yes, next time I will only have to be better than father. I will help you get rid of your anxious existence," claimed with a confident smile, "With my own hands ! Let's go Riff "

I will not run away,
I will not be scared of the pain from the scars on my back anymore

Riff (follows the order, walking after his master) handing Cain a walking stick <symbolising the upper class at the time> : "Yes"

My cursed destiny will be purified
by my father's own blood which gave birth to it

= A man stood on top of the roof of the house, playing a violin =

The violin man then stopped playing and stretched out his arms: "I can hear it, I can hear it. The cries of fear and pain coming up from deep under the earth ringing into my ears. Before long, these will form a comforting melody that will bury up this misty Great London."

As he said these words, he brought his hands together again, about to continue playing his violin, his cold eyes could be seen faintly behind a pair of sunglasses.

- And that's all....? -
