**Trace:** Rose? Is everyone safe now?
**Rose:** I...
**Rose:** I’d almost forgotten. This feeling... it’s like a veil was lifted... one I wasn’t even aware of. I can see now... That’s where that thing was kept...
**Trace:** _**Rose!**_
**Rose:** Yes. They’re safe now. I sent them to the dungeons.
**Trace:** The... _dungeons?!_
**Rose:** It was the default place. I didn’t have time to think about it once the restrictions were lifted. I could send them elsewhere now, but I figure they deserve a time out.
**Trace:** Rose... are _you_ okay?
**Rose:** Me?
**Rose:** Yes... sorry. This is just... a bit disorienting.
**Trace:** What is?
**Rose:** ...As you may have guessed, I’m not a normal servant.
**Rose:** An estate this size simply can’t be run by one person. That didn’t stop you from trying. In your eyes, there wasn’t a problem that couldn’t be solved with magic.
**Rose:** I am... integrated. Like a spider-web, I can feel everything happening in or around the walls. I can understand now why you kept me restricted. This much control is dangerous. I still can’t outright attack you, but it’d be trivial for me to arrange your demise now.
**Trace:** But you wouldn’t, right?
**Rose:** _...No,_ of course not.
**Trace:** Why did you hesitate like that?!
**Rose:** I had to think about it.
