[At the midnight following each execution, once everyone who has died that week has awoken in the theatre, the curtains in front of the cinema screen will close for a few minutes. When they reopen, a platform with a small wooden box will have appeared on stage. The film onscreen will change from the mansion to display a brief clip featuring a film clip of a beautiful older woman, her face covered by a veil. She seems smiling and pleasant, but there's something canned about the words she's speaking.]

Good evening to all of our lovely players! My condolences on your premature departure from this exciting season of Murder Manor. Please know that your many fans are sorry to see you go. Fortunately, you're dead but not forgotten, and there's still something you can do to help play the game!

Underneath your chairs, you will find a stack of notecards and a pen. Please write down who you believe to be this week's most valuable or interesting player and put it in the box. Whoever receives the most votes will receive a prize this week that may help them survive their stay, whether it be a tool for committing the perfect crime, solving one, or defending themselves!

Now, remember, the point is not just to vote for the players you like best! After all, as in every season of Murder Manor, the viewers will ultimately be given the power to decide your fates! We hope this season will be the most exciting one yet, and the more you get our viewers talking, the more opportunities you will have to return to your homes! But if the viewers aren't impressed with your choices, your deaths will be made permanent.

So make sure to choose the most interesting players: the skilled detectives, the scheming killers, the hunky heartthrobs and the potential powerhouses! These are the players who we most expect to put on a wonderful show for our viewers! Make sure to talk amongst yourselves and decide.

And good luck!

[The screen flickers back to the castle. You'll have until the start of each week to vote before the podium vanishes again.]

The sponsorships haven't saved anybody so far. I don't think that's going to change.

[Somebody is a negative nancy.]

Kougyoku-san even tried to use her's for murder...

The young master received a weapon for his defense...

[Ah yes. That wakizashi is going to do Kuzuryuu so much more good than the dagger they were all given.]

But Maribelle is a healer. If she could receive a more powerful variation of the staff she currently has... She is more useful alive.

Kougyoku-san was given something about a hundred times more powerful than that, and...

[And guess what happened to her. Can you guess?]

The problem is, we don't know what what she'll receive. Iceland-san just got a puffin...

These sponsorships seem to give people back things that make them happy more than things that are actually useful.

I disagree about "just" a puffin. The animal cruelty rule has rendered the puffin a fairly useful defense.

[That fucking puffin.]

I would not begrudge her something to make her happy. If she is happy, those around her will be as well.

That's true, but... That wasn't exactly on purpose.

[He doesn't look exactly convinced by that last statement, though.]

You could say that about anybody.

I could. But I am saying it about her.

I think it is worth gambling that she may receive a piece of useful medical equipment.

...I guess it couldn't hurt.

[He seems pretty doubtful, still.]
