“Why bother lying when the truth does so much more damage?”

-Avery

With the theater focused on Avery’s gleeful rampage Bernard takes Dimitri along to find Nil as he’s smashing Isaac’s skeleton to dust. Surely the drastic change from the quiet boy that Isaac Gennari used to be can’t be blamed on Avery’s ruthless teachings alone. Either Nil isn’t Isaac or Nil hasn’t been able to feel positive emotions since he first rose from the dead. Whatever it may be, he’s been relying on rage and hatred to keep himself from being paralyzed by depression. 

At the loss of his body Isaac of the Lost Boy doll goes wild at the thought of never coming back to life. He needs to be real in every sense of the word. A fake body of wax and magic just won’t do! Isaac’s despairing soul tears free of the Lost Boy wax doll and is adsorbed by the Monad Grand Theater. This triggers the Wings of the Past chandelier that starts the resurrection ritual, but without a body to receive it the energy in the magic circle riots. Every hinge, pipe, and corner of the city is sent on a violent search for Nil, making it difficult to stop Savio from finding a body replacement for Isaac.
