[The Witch of Misfortune can be easily found wandering around, mostly in the Master Bedroom. Though seems she'll easily stop whatever she's doing and chat with you, at least...]
Mmm, there are certain conditions. But - yes, if I had almost all of you on my side, I would win...much like how you would win in checkers if your opponent was stupid enough not to resign when they were faced with a losing battle.
Who you are though. You said a lot about the idea of Witches when we first met- that it's as much about self-image and belief as it is literal magic. So that's why our denial hurts you?
Yes. To be believed in is to exist, and we must also have a sense of self with us at all times. Boredom kills Witches, because a bored Witch stops thinking, and thus stops having a self.
[He shivers- once again thinking of when he was a wisp. If Alphamon hadn't stayed with him, talked to him like he could hear her... would he have disappeared too?]
So the Game is to, what, exercise your self a bit? Is that what you meant by having to do this? After all, if our lives are on the line we can't risk not taking you seriously as a threat- we can't refute you're here when people are 'dying' around us.
If they follow the same Witch-rules you do, you'd think coming out to see us would only be to their benefit. For all we know you could be writing those letters. Or a servant.
I don't think that's the case, but it wouldn't be hard to argue it.

What's on your mind, Takumi-kun?

The new servants... are they Erika and Karen?
no subject
I suppose you could say they're the same pieces, but on different sides.

They're in no pain, of course. and they'll be back to normal as soon as the game ends!

You... you used the Red- you really mean it...

Think of it like a game. Is a checker destroyed when they're captured? Is a rook or a bishop completely demolished beyond repair when you take it?
Of course not. You simply put it aside, and then place it back in the box when you're done.

... you know, if that wasn't the case... I was going to ask that if I died... to not be brought back like that.

[She smiles, though a little sadly.]
I believe it's a kindness - this way, they can still be with the rest of you.

Maybe for the others but- losing myself, it's too much.

...I see. Still, I cannot change it...it is written into the very rules of the game.

[He sighs]
So how do you win? Getting all the pieces?

Though I am not permanently hurt by your denial, it will chip away at me...at who I am.
Meanwhile, my opponent must have the will to continue attacking me, despite losing more and more pieces.

Your Witch is a cowardly one.

Is a game truly a game if it is played alone?
