Hey, we haven't written in a while, huh?
Are you doing well?

The Third Period is all finished
The world has been saved
Though perhaps it wasn't in the form of the salvation you had hoped for

You didn't complete all twelve music boxes in time, it seems...
But ah well, you needn't fret over that
You've completed your goal for the time being, after all

The spirits have already begun to migrate to the new world
Though I hear there are still some remaining in the Third Period as they are yet
If you have anyone you want to go see, I recommend you take care of that in good season

The gate is open
You should decide for yourself what you want to do after this
You can stay in Angolmois as is, or you can deepen your friendship with your old cronies in the Third Period's ruins
Or... I won't stop you from traveling to the Fourth Period
I no longer have the right to

You are free
Though it's possible we will never meet again... Well, as there's no more need for you to keep making music boxes, you may do whatever you wish after this
Be merry with your wife, hm?

Well then, farewell
I wish you two the best wherever you go


Clockwork Lullaby 01 / Clockwork Lullaby -Key of Word-
Origin
<Turns clockwise>

The first music box has commenced without a hitch. After turning the windup key it plays a somewhat stiff tune, and at the same time fulfills the purpose of turning a gear of karma. To me the tune it plays is something I don't quite understand, however I am sure that this is to be the start
Alice's prophecy. I must ascertain the truth of that
For that is the mission for my atonement that was assigned to me

Clockwork Lullaby 02 / Miniature Garden Girl
Little Sister
<Turns counter-clockwise―connected by 01>

I don't have much information. I needed to start from what was within the scope of my reach
The song of a doll in the distant future. Making the music box for that was simple
My reasons are clear. It was because to me, she was none other than the being closest to me
Irina... like me, you too ended up becoming a castaway to time
The blue spoon... from this song I was able to faintly sense Adam. That could perhaps become one of the clues I have to go on

Clockwork Lullaby 03 / Re_birthday
Black Box
<Turns counter-clockwise―connected by 01>

What has become essential to the completion of the music box was contact with a god. And I ended up succeeding in that much sooner than I expected
TALOS... it seems that he had regarded me as dangerous because of the Levianta Catastrophe. But I was able to prepare several counter-measures to outwit that bat
Because thanks to the catastrophe―I was able to recover the memories of the "original"
In the end, TALOS gave up on trying to control me, and instead offered his assistance
With that I was able to incorporate a black box system into the music box
And then... as for this song's contents. I shall keep it a secret yet from TALOS
Because, at any rate, this boy hasn't even been born yet

Clockwork Lullaby 04 / Heartbeat Clocktower
Gear
<Turns counter-clockwise―connected by 02>

What sort of person is Adam? I decided to investigate into the man who was said to be the son of Alice
At the end of it, I knew that Adam was by Irina's side, but at the same time that brought up a new question
As far as I know, the two of them barely even knew each other. So then why is Adam trying to help Irina?
...Right now, I don't even have the parts to formulate a hypothesis yet
I shall aim for the land of Angolmois. Though it is a place where even knowing of its existence is beyond the paygrade of a normal person...
But if you're me, on the other hand

Clockwork Lullaby 05 / Chrono Story
Dragon
<Turns counter-clockwise―connected by 01>

For now, I decided to continue on in my work from a different angle
And then, I finally discovered the appearance of the person I love most
A witch conversing with the god of the forest. That face, her hair, her arms and legs... it was none other than Elluka. That was unmistakable
―I quietly shed tears alone
She had undoubtedly died. And she would never be resurrected
..."It" was something else
I desperately repressed an overflowing wrath
Because if I was taken over by it, I would never finish the twelve music boxes

Clockwork Lullaby 06 / Capriccio Farce
Unusual Event
<Turns clockwise―connected by 04 through the Alice BB>

How many years have passed since that catastrophe? I'd stopped keeping track of time long, long ago
Upon arriving in the land of Angolmois, I was able to proceed with the compactification of the BB system, which was a long-pending problem, at once
At the same time I was able to supply myself components to make a new music box
...However, this one was error-prone
Due to the insertion of the Alice BB, the sixth music box has started to play a different tone than I had initially expected
―At present there are no particular flaws that stand out in it
But there's no guarantee anywhere that this song is the truth

Clockwork Lullaby 07 / Seven Crimes and Punishments
Deadly Sin
<Turns clockwise―connected by 05>

I have finally become able to follow history in its sequential order
The beings called demons and the disorders of the world that the people they contracted with caused. The answer to Alice's prophecy is surely at the end of all that―
I've had it verified that my theory is correct
It's become clear that "it" will destroy the world as I thought
In other words... that means the main cause of all this is me
Because after all, I am the one who caused "it" to descend to the Third Period

Clockwork Lullaby 08 / The Song I Heard Somewhere
Red Cat
<Turns clockwise―connected by 02>

I have found the one who will destroy everything. Next I must find the one who will save it
There are several candidates... but the most prominent would of course be Irina. I know well the power that she hides
Maybe I could be able to communicate somehow with the "original" who saved Irina from the brink of death
...Someone is knocking on the door of my house
But, there shouldn't be anyone outside of me who can reach Angolmois
―Who the hell is that?
While holding my gun in hand, I slowly opened the door―

Clockwork Lullaby 09 / Swear an Oath on that Bridge
Salvation
<Turns clockwise―connected by 05>

...Ah, god. This may be the first time that I have been grateful to TALOS from the heart. Now I have become able to listen to the ninth song with a tranquil heart
And―while this may be a crazy thought―I have come to think this way
That while "it" is undoubtedly the destroyer... if she were able to regain her heart as a "person"
Might she at the same time have been able to be a savior?
When I asked the opinion of she standing by my side, she gave me a small smile, and nodded

Clockwork Lullaby 10 / Banica Concerto!!
Gluttony
<Turns counter-clockwise―connected by both 06 and 07>

<Connects further to the big gear through the Seth BB>

Finally I succeeded in getting one of the large gears to rotate. But... frankly... I'm a little stunned. To think, that evil food eater would become a savior. What sort of face will TALOS make when he learns that? I'd like to see
Naturally this is also thanks to the BB that my wife had been looking after from the "original"―but it seems the BB's usage invites an unexpected state of affairs after all
The rotation of the large gear ended up going opposite to what I'd assumed it would
With this, it can't be called true salvation. The new world will just end up becoming a different take on the Third Period

Clockwork Lullaby 11 / The Karma of Evil Will Not End
Samsara
<Turns counter-clockwise―connects to 08>

<And to the big gear>

Adam had a realization. On the truth that Irina was his mother. Thanks to the "Re_birthday" time wound back. And so Irina will once more become Adam's... and Eve's mother
I can only hope. That Irina will sever the karma of evil, and bring about true salvation
―Ah... this isn't sufficient. The gear's power is not enough. With this the karma of evil will not end. It'll just repeat the same things again
And now, in that world... there are no gods
Everything will probably be reduced to a farce

Clockwork Lullaby 12 / Song of the Third Period
Graduation
<Turns counter-clockwise―connected by 09 and 03 through the Sickle BB>

<And to the big gear>

The singing voices of the Third Period have even reached the land of Angolmois. This unfinished twelfth music box has begun to move and turn the large gear on its own. Right now I'm reclining in a chair in an exhausted state... there had never been any need to make such things as this
Even without the music boxes people are able to play the songs. That is what this means
These people singing... "VOCALOID", huh? Ah well. As a musical accompaniment, it may serve as some aid to them. For that purpose, I shall set about making the final music box
Final... is that truly so? I took out my pocket watch and looked upon its surface
...!
I see... so that's it!!

TALOS
You are a liar

Certainly, on the face of a clock there are only 12 numbers written
But in time...

The total number of songs is not 12
Is that not so?

I've decided to head out from Angolmois
With my wife, of course

As for where I'm heading... I'll leave it to your imagination
Perhaps I'll see you again once more there

I don't have an exact goal in mind
But... as long as songs exist there―

I will continue to make music boxes

Well then, until we meet again
