*One day... You receive a letter from Alice Margatroid, inviting you to join her at a tea party. You find this rather curious and understandable; after all, Alice is the kind of girl who still "plays" with her dolls. At first, you refuse to go. But then Koakuma insists that you should take a breath and let the sun shine on you.

Reluctantly, you decide to go. Once you are near Alice's house, a doll gently tugs at your dress and then motions for you to follow it.

You are sure that its name is Shangai, but that doesn't matter; after following it, you find Alice's house; she was finishing setting up a table with two chairs in front of her house; she had everything planned, food, comfortable sheets and most importantly, tea.

As soon as she notices your presence, she smiles softly at you, heading towards you.

"Oh, I was worried you wouldn't make it. This forest is a confusing place to explore, you know? But I'm glad you're here, come on, I have everything ready for our little party, heh~"
