[The camera does not seem to be facing Alice directly, but there she is, in nearly full view. Her tattered dress has been replaced and repaired, and she has a new blue ribbon to replace the one left behind in her cell. She seems...significantly calmer.]

Oh goodness! What's all of this commotion?

[She turns then, so she might be seen, and looks directly at the camera, except there seems to be one problem: her eyes are completely missing. There is no sign that she even had eyes beforehand, no holes, just merely skin where they had been. Her beautiful blue eyes are gone, far away.]

I don't believe I understand it. There are so many of you over on this side of the mirrors! Have you really all come to see me? That was so thoughtful of you all, and I don't even have tea prepared! What an awful host I am! Though, really I'm not the host at all, am I? That would be the Queen!

[There doesn't seem to be any anger over the Queen, or whatever it was that had her screaming before. But she peeks through a window in the room she is in, a reflected version of her own room on the real side.]

I suppose I should go and see just what on Earth is going on in our home!

[She then begins to leave, with a smile, shutting the camera off.]

( What. What on Earth just happened, Koji? )
