[he hands the parchment to Sousei, which contains the following information]
- HISTORIANS: Five (5) individuals who participated in a prior killing game in this castle have been brought to this one. Upon arrival, the Crafters stripped them of most of their memories of this prior game, including how it ended and how they arrived to the castle. A Historian's job is to encourage players to complete objectives, and to keep the game running smoothly. They may be asked to kill players, or even other Historians, who refuse to participate.
- The completion of objectives is an ideal. This is because it encourages balance, as well as personal stories fulfilled and engagement with those around them. The Crafters want as many objectives as possible to be fulfilled.
- One way to prevail in this game is to eliminate one faction. If the villains are killed, then "good" prevails as the heroes are victorious. This applies vice versa.
- Dragon-san prefers there be a "happy ending" to this game rather than it simply being a "battlefield." She is an advocate for balance.
- Tiger-san believes that balance will not achieve a happy ending. She wishes for one side to win, to put an end to the war completely. With victory, comes an ending.
- The civilians exist to tip the scale in favor of either heroes or villains. How they achieve this is still as of yet unknown.
- Titles were chosen for one of two reasons: (1) they were given to players that would be more suitable to achieve their arcs, and (2) it was funny. Tiger-san chose my title.
- There is a reason the tapestries leak ink. That reason will become clear with time. It does not mark individuals as victims, nor does it mark them as villains.
- The ink determines this game's ending. Gold ink is for heroes, black ink for civilians, and purple ink for villains. Each death brings us closer to the end.
- Tiger-san and Dragon-san never think the same about anything.
