Sakura Labyrinth Floor -17: Alice in Graveyard
Sakura :: Meltlilith’s signal is not present. It appears she is not on this floor at the present time.
Rin :: So the diversion is working for now. If we encounter Meltlilith now we won’t have a chance.
Rani :: Wait, please. Servant signals — multiple signals confirmed. There is a mass of Servants on this floor!
A mass of Servants…!? So there are Servants other than Elizabeth on BB’s side?
[We see a number of copies of the black-clothed Alice running around through the Labyrinth.]
Gilgamesh :: The Caster we saw some time ago? She doesn’t appear to have a Noble Phantasm that creates copies of her. …what could it be?
Rin :: These enemy signals, they’re all Caster…!? What on earth is going on!? Doesn’t this place reflect Meltlilith’s heart? Just what is she into?!
Rani :: Calm down, Miss Tohsaka. Analysis has shown that while their external appearance is largely the same, their contents are simple enemy programs. While they are still powerful enemies, their abilities are inferior to Caster’s. Should it come to a fight we have the higher probability of victory.
For some reason those things resemble copies of Caster. That Servant always looked like a French doll, but with this many running around they look more and more like dolls.
Sakura :: It’s sort of…like a doll house isn’t it…there might as well be a proper castle for them…Ah, no, it’s nothing! My impressions have nothing to do with Labyrinth navigation…Now take care, Miss Kishinami. Aim first for the end of this floor, where this level’s shield is, if you please.
As we descend the stairs, we reach a curious plaza. It’s a beautiful garden that doesn’t look like it belongs in an eerie Labyrinth. In the center, surrounded by many-colored flowers, is…
Gilgamesh :: Did the Servants bring her here? Approach her and investigate.
I agree with Gilgamesh. There’s clearly something up with this garden. I’m sure that, like in the other layers, this will be a hint toward the SG…!
[We approach.]
A familiar girl is sleeping here. She doesn’t respond when I talk to her. …It’s Caster’s Master, Alice. I didn’t remember her when we met her back with Passionlip, but now I do. My opponent from the third round. A little girl, weaker than I was, who couldn’t understand death. I defeated this girl, and proceeded to the fourth round. …Alice is at a complete halt. She’s clear as a glass figure, and doesn’t respond even when I wave my hands in front of her. There’s no scent of life here.
Gilgamesh :: Indeed, she isn’t living. But neither is she dead. This is a being from whom life has been revoked. …Meltlilith. Such worthless things she displays for us, a living stuffed animal.
Alice :: ………., lp.
— Wait. Just now, I think Alice’s lips moved…Very carefully, patiently, I strain my ears to hear her. Alice slowly, as if desperately laying bricks with torn up hands and feet, puts a word together.
Alice :: ple, ase. Sa, ve, Alice.
That’s all. With that one line, which she spent minutes on, Alice closes her eyes. …her glass eyes are still open, but her soul has already left them. Alice left those words behind with all the strength she had remaining.
Rani :: Miss Hakunon. Though it is unclear what she wished to convey, please resume investigation of the Labyrinth. These girls were brought into the Meltlilith’s Labyrinth as a trap gimmick. To release them would mean the SG’s — No, I should put it more directly. …Let us save her. There is certain to be a clue there.
I nod in response to Rani’s message. I won’t make Alice’s great effort go to waste. I’m going to clear the darkness that hangs over this floor…!
[The path goes in four different directions. All the enemy programs wandering around have the appearance of Alice/Nursery Rhyme, both in and out of battle, speak like her, etc. We reach another garden in the southeast corner, containing an enemy resembling Alice’s Jabberwocky from Extra.]
An enemy program other than Caster…! I’m used to them in general, but on this floor they’re unusual. Anyway I don’t want this thing here to touch me!
Gilgamesh :: A watchdog well-suited to a box of monsters. Hakuno, let us cut it to peaces and leave not a trace behind!
[Defeated! We get the item “doll’s limbs.”]
I pick up the item the disappearing monster dropped. These are…doll parts.
Rin :: I see, a key item for sure. Nice when it’s easy to understand. Rani, can you detect more enemies of the same type as that one within this floor?
Rani :: Yes. Signals of the same type…two remain. They appear to be arranged in the three corners other than the northeastern one.
Rin :: Okay, if there are only two left, let’s cut ’em down. …but don’t break the doll parts, Hakunon.
[In the southwest corner we fight a monster that drop’s “doll’s life.”]
The second enemy also dropped doll parts. This does appear to be a key item.
Rani :: One remains. After that, it will all depend upon Miss Hakunon’s assembly skills.
[The northwest corner monster drops “doll’s body.”]
I pick up the last of the doll parts and try to line it up with the others. The cruelly dismantled ball-jointed body is complete. It looks like a small-scale version of Caster in her black dress.
Rin :: …we should return it to its Master. This doll’s owner sure isn’t Meltlilith.
[So we go back to Alice in the central garden.]
I assemble the doll parts we’ve gathered, and set the doll on Alice’s lap. There’s no reason to, but I feel like that’s the right arrangement. Like the girl and the doll both wish for that.
[Alice and her chair both suddenly vanish, leaving the doll, which is soon replaced by a translucent Caster.]
Alice :: Good morning, meddling lady. You granted Alice‘s wish. Since Alice can’t thank you anymore, I’ll thank you. Thank you for gathering Alice.
Gilgamesh :: It was not for your sake. It was only to reward the wish of a girl who even on the edge of death sold off all she had for her friend. If you wish to give thanks, give them to your mistress when you reunite. What we must hear is the truth of this level. What happened, Caster. Did you spit upon BB like Archer?
Alice :: Who knows? We went on many adventures, but in the end was it all a dream? A hundred league journey, a hundred step walk, it’s all the same. I, Alice, am a defeated Servant. I, Alice, am a wandering specter. No matter what happens, to us Alices it’s nothing more than a cricket’s dream. Ah, but — we were captured by wicked witch. We ended up making some mean friends. That girl doesn’t love anything but herself. She can’t love anything that isn’t hers. So she doesn’t believe in other people’s hearts. I never thought things would get so terrible. Even Alice‘s ability to dream was taken away.
Gilgamesh :: Doesn’t believe in others’ hearts, is it now? That Meltlilith. She’s not an enthusiast, but a secret collector?
Alice :: Right. Meltlilith hates people. But she loves people that don’t move. So when Alice caught Melt’s attention, I was quickly turned into a french doll. On that terrible Melt’s whim, Alice was ripped into different pieces and all turned into her toy. It was an awful, ugly fall, but thanks to you I’ve returned to how I was. I was — a Servant about to disappear.
[She begins to fade, but into faint, sparkling white light rather than the black deletion we’ve seen on others.]
Caster’s body is breaking down…!? But that’s, didn’t we save her…!?
Alice :: Don’t make that face, kind person. Alice and Alice were already dead. A sudden shock woke us up. Heehee, it looks like this bad dream is done for now. Farewell, Alice, lonely me. Thanks for playing with Alice all this time. Alice has been killed three times now. Poor me. But the second time was happy. Since there was someone there who really listened to my final wish. The first time was alone in a white hospital, but the second and third, both time you’ve seen me off with a face like that.
[A pink SG orb appears to hang in the air between Alice and Hakuno.]
Alice :: This is a small gift. It’s a piece of Meltlilith’s heart Alice secretly stole away. Alice can’t understand it, or put a name to it — but you should be able to give it shape. So, good night, lady. Thank you for not ignoring Alice the ghost’s voice.
The Servant in the guise of a little girl vanishes as if she’d been spun from sugar. She never left off her soft, sweet, graceful smile.
Gilgamesh :: Hurry. If you go now you can catch up with your mistress. Illusion and ghost curled up together. Speak together, laugh together, take one another’s hand, and so disappear together to wherever you may go.
After Gilgamesh speaks, I take the SG in hand. With this the penetration of this layer has become real. I don’t know its name, but I may be able to bring down the shields as long as I have the thing itself. First let’s go to the shield. We can analyze things after that.

Considering how nice Gil is being right now along with what little I know of Strange Fake, I guess he has a soft spot for children?
