{{anchor|Wedding Ring}}That night, George proposes to Shannon, who happily accepts. When Kanon learns about this, he breaks down and confesses that he wants to be able to love as well and reveals he has feelings for Jessica. Meanwhile, Krauss, Natsuhi, Eva, Hideyoshi, Rudolf, Kyrie, and Rosa gather in the [[chapel]] as Beatrice makes an effort to prove that she is, in fact, the Beatrice of legend. One by one, all seven acknowledge her existence.
{{anchor|Halloween}}The next morning, Shannon finds a small note in the dining hall that reads "chapel". She makes her way to the chapel and discovers a [[Demonology in Umineko no Naku Koro ni#Seventh pentacle of the Sun|mysterious symbol painted on the chapel doors]]. After retrieving the other servants, Shannon realizes that all of the adults, other than Rosa, have disappeared. Furthermore, the only key to the chapel is missing from the keybox. Rosa correctly surmises that the key is actually inside the letter Beatrice gave the Maria the previous day. After unlocking the chapel, Rosa and the servants discover the corpses of Krauss, Natsuhi, Eva, Hideyoshi, Rudolf, and Kyrie seated around a table adorned with Halloween decorations on the altar. Each of them had seemingly had their stomachs cut open and had candy stuffed inside. Furthermore, [[Beatrice's letter]] as well as three gold ingots are placed on top of the table. Battler, George, Jessica, and Maria arrive soon after and all except Maria despair over the loss of their parents. Jessica eventually runs out of the chapel in an attempt to find Beatrice.
{{anchor|Jessica and Kanon}}Jessica angrily bangs on the door to the VIP room, however it is locked. Gohda and Kanon, who followed Jessica out of the chapel, use one of their master keys to unlock the door. Beatrice is no longer in the room, instead she left a note mocking Jessica for attempting to find her. This sends Jessica into a fit of rage which quickly leads to an asthma attack. Kanon helps Jessica to her room and fetches her inhaler. While Jessica begins to cry, Gohda leaves the pair and returns to the chapel. Kanon allows Jessica to cry by herself and stands outside in the corridor to guard her. He is immediately approached by Beatrice, who taunts him and then tells him that she is going to kill Jessica. She disappears and Kanon returns to Jessica's room. Inside, Beatrice has summoned a [[Goat|large servant wielding a blue blade of energy]] to kill Jessica. Kanon reveals his own red blade of energy and fights the beast. He eventually defeats it, however Beatrice immediately summons two more servants: [[Asmodeus]] and [[Satan]], two of the [[stakes of Purgatory]]. Asmodeus impales Jessica in the back and Satan impales Kanon in the chest. In order to further disrespect Kanon, Beatrice uses her magic to cause Kanon's body to vanish.
{{anchor|New Rule}}Meanwhile, Genji and Shannon report what has happened to Kinzo. Everyone else is outside the chapel, having made the decision to leave the crime scene alone. While outside, Rosa realizes that the only key to the chapel was in Maria's possession since before the murders occurred, making the chapel a locked room. At this point, the Beatrice and Battler in [[Purgatorio]] argue about how the chapel became a locked room. During their argument, Beatrice creates a rule known as the [[Red Truth]], allowing her to present certain arguments as definitively true without the need for proof. Battler eventually uses this rule to corner Beatrice and prove that the chapel wasn't necessarily a locked room as someone could have easily taken the key from Maria's bag between when Maria initially received the key and when Rosa took it from her bag. Beatrice acquiesces and admits defeat in this instance, however she vows that she will win in the end.
