A stack of notes on the default paper sit on Anna's bed, underneath the doll Barry returned to her. The script is a weird cipher for most of them, but something legible will show up near the end:
I should just do what I did the last time and not leave letters. Or anything, given Jasper read my notes and laughed at me about it, that self-important dirt clod. Yet I find I feel... obligated in a way that I couldn't before.
I thought my motive would be Ernesta. It wasn't. My ID showed Magiaconatus itself. It was a seal created by seven of the most powerful mages my world had ever seen. Every one of them could have qualified as a Witch, and their wills and desires made it manifest. The truth -- what mages have believed for a long time, and what I know now to be true -- is that Magiaconatus can think for itself. Decide for itself. That's why no one who won GRANBELM ever became the Princeps Mage. It had to approve the winner. Love the winner. I always thought I was that.
I learned the truth in my last game. Magiaconatus could never want me. It only wants me to die as a test for Ernesta. The motive Maelstrom handed out said I was "warped" into a "perfect tragic villain." It sounds like nonsense. I never wished to believe it. But as long as I've been away from that world, I can feel more than just rage again. I can have dreams other than wanting to crush Ernesta and see her suffer. I can do whatever I want. And I still don't know who Anna Fugo is beyond what I've become.
In the event that you're competent enough to see that I set that trap and ambushed the first person I found walking that night... At least know that. I had to act -- I would've killed either way. But I won't be a puppet again. Not warped again thanks to "fate." I doubt the lot of you would've survived that, either.

P.S. I'm aware it is what some might call "karma," given what I did in the simulation, but if any of you impersonate me to kill anyone I will be highly vexed.

Don't disappoint me. I won't lose to someone who fails later.
