New Guide

"My, my.. I suppose you're not the Adam I was told about. Wait, you're not even Alice.. your mother is? What a surprise, is that right? Hmm.. I was told it was you! How is this possible. Ach, the kids are nice, per se. Why do you even bother to know? Oh? I see, so you joined already.. hmm.. who was the lucky to be the soul helping to guide your way?"

. . .

"Him? That awful pale swan? He calls you Cherry? Sweetie, he wasn't he like this before, there is still a punishment awaiting you both. Nicolas, yes, I know he tried to scare you, to do something much worse, but as you see.. It was that swan's child. Now, they're glued together, mixed together like chocolate and vanilla cream.. and now, for your information.. there's another host. Do not but worry, my child. He might be even more scarier and worse, and wicked and terrifying.. but I tell you, look through his mask.."

. . .

"Hm? You gave him a name? Who is it! I know it myself, but I wonder.." . . .

"I knew it.. I had a hunch before, but, you are truly Adam. Son of Alice.. Welcome, to the Wonderland. My name is Lucius, your next mad hatter..."

- To my dear Adam, your new friend Lucius
