Part 14: A loose summary of the plot

Well... sort of.

The Plot as understood by Choco

Okay, so we have these twin girls, Karen and Alessa. There's something magical about them, that's not clear though. Alessa dies somehow, but her ghost keeps talking to Karen. The Ghost is evil. Along comes Vincent with his craphead firefighter dad pressuring him to follow in his footsteps. In an act of "No, you shut the fuck up dad!" he goes to burn down what he thinks is an empty mansion, but is really Karen's house, with her and her parents still in it. He saves Karen but kills her parents. Karen goes and lives in the orphanage. Alessa convinces her to burn down the orphanage as a ritual to bring her back to life. 8 of the 12 kids die in the orphanage (half of whom aren't even named), but she needed all of them to (including Karen) to be a success. Decades later she's strong enough to bring some of them back to the orphanage's ruins to try to complete the ritual. She successfully kills off Ben and Moon, possibly through Karen. Years later Karen is a nurse at a hospital and super crazy. She's been collecting fetuses, and one that survived, Lucas, she keeps as her own child. By this point she's also tracked down Vincent, and has set up a plan to get her revenge on him. Lucas may or may not be Vincent's son, it's totally not clear, but Karen seems to think so, and tells Lucas. For whatever reason Alessa chooses this moment to strike down Karen using Lucas, and Vincent is stuck taking out Lucas, which it's not really clear again if this is intentional on anyone's behalf. However, the same power that turns Alessa into an evil ghost does the same for Karen, and also interferes with the ritual. Alessa (Or is it Karen?) brings Vincent and Emilie to the remains of their house, and tricks them into getting rid of some angry orphan spirits that I guess Karen brought with her? Then tricks Emilie, the last of the orphans, to off herself, and gets a dying Vincent to kill off Karen's angry ghost, completing the ritual and bringing her back. Bad End I guess.

It's kind of fitting that I didn't find that bit of foreshadowing about a puppet master controlling things until the last update.
