Part 37: Magician In an Iron Mask

Hey! Roger! Wake up!


After Yuri helps Roger sit up, Joachim kneels down and lifts off the mask.

Ouch!



Stop your complaining! We'll get it BACK already, okay?!



Oh, it's terrible! If we don't do something there'll be another terrible tragedy! Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!



Get a hold of yourself!

She's right. We should leave before they come back.
Hm. Okay.
