Raging flames sear her flesh
as scolding laughter
weighs her down as lead.
Her last moments are as
she lived: bereft of love,
void of hope,
and overflowing with despair.
A witch whispers to
the girl steeped in regret.
"Don't you want
a second chance?"
The witch bestows upon her
the power of the "Fatal Rewind,"
and her charred life is returned to a
pure white. A blank slate.
"This time, I will transform
into the ideal version of myself."
With this oath branded into her heart,
she returns to life.
...Yet this resolve will only lead to
further misfortune.
The curtain rises on the Carnival,
and this witch trial shall herald the end.
