Line 76 ⟶ 77:
Back in 1998, Ange meets with [[Professor Ootsuki]], an renowned occultist known as an expert on the [[Rokkenjima massacre]]. During their meeting Ange confirms that the handwriting found in the [[message bottles]] that appeared after the massacre matched that of a passage written by [[Beatrice]] in Maria's diary. She flees before she can be found by [[Kasumi Sumadera]].
Later, in her hotel room, Ange talks with [[MARIA]] about rekindling her powers as a witch and successfully summons five of the [[Seven Stakes of Purgatory]]. The effort of doing so causes Ange to pass out.▼
Ange has a flashback to when she was attending [[St. Lucia Academy]] and first summoned the Seven Stakes of Purgatory. Ange had difficulty maintaining the presence of all seven and instead practicing by manifesting only one: [[Mammon]]. Eventually, by enveloping her magical abilities, Ange reaches the point of being able to manifest all seven sisters without issue. After a particularly unpleasant incident of bullying, Ange orders the stakes to kill the students bullying her. The stakes claim it is impossible due to the interference of anti-magic influence. Angered by this, Ange forces the stakes to endure a violent disappearance, one-by-one.

Maria's diary recounts another story of her being left home alone. Maria visits the convenience store with [[Sakutarou]] and four small ceramic rabbits that Rosa had bought her before. On her way home, Maria realizes that she lost her house key and spends the night searching for it. She is intercepted by a policeman who calls Rosa's work and learns that she has gone on vacation. When Rosa returns home, a social worker is present and asks her about Maria. Rosa becomes enraged when she learns that Maria had become famous around the town due to her frequently going out to buy food with Sakutarou and the rabbits. This culminates in Rosa smashing one of the rabbits and ripping apart Sakutarou.
In 1998, Ange and Amakusa are on their way to Niijima. Ange apologizes to Mammon for her actions at St. Lucia Academy and manages to summon Sakutarou and all seven sisters at once. Meanwhile, [[Kasumi Sumadera]] and her bodyguards slowly make their way to [[Rokkenjima]].
Back on October 4, 1986, the typhoon has enveloped Rokkenjima. [[Kinzo Ushiromiya]] exiles the cousins from the [[Ushiromiya Main Building]] so that he can make an announcement to the others. Shannon guides them to the [[guest house]] before joining the other servants in the parlor. Once all except the cousins have gathered, Kinzo enters the parlor. He declares that he plans on ending the Ushiromiya family and will not pass on the headship to anyone. He summons the [[Pendragon Memorial Troops]] and has them choose any six people in the room and use them as sacrifices for his ritual. This results in the deaths of Natsuhi, Rudolf, Hideyoshi, Genji, Eva, and Rosa. Kinzo then summons [[Ronove]], [[Virgilia]], and [[Gaap]].
