"How!?" Agnes began to shout, and turned to her family for answers, despite knowing she wouldn't get any. "Was Grandfather alive? But even then... Where is he?"

"No, no... Even if he were alive, there's no way out of the room. I placed the tape, right after we left too!" Ingrid shouted back. She was right there with Verrier still searching the room. "If someone got in through the window, they would still be hiding! Help me search, damn it!"
In a fit of mania, she even ripped apart the pillows that were in the bed. "... It's like Mia. The locks can be opened with the master keys, but the tape is infallible. Not just that, even if this entire island is conspiring against me, there's no way past the tape..."

Verrier seemed pretty agitated by the discovery, and kept fruitlessly examining the room long after most of the others had stopped. "It can't have been him in the boiler... right? It wouldn't make any sense..." he mumbled to himself as he searched.
"...Is there truly no way to the boiler from here?" Agnes asked aloud, not too sure if what she's saying is even possible. "Even then... If that's not possible, just what happened here?"

Her eyes focus in on Ingrid, and there's a flash of something akin to anger. She lets go of it immediately, "The tape has become another toy for another killer."
She sighs, "Maybe someone left the window unlocked for themselves when we left earlier. If we accept the current arguments, I think it's fine to assume that."

"Yet the window was locked when we returned," Verrier pointed out, finally giving up with his search. He paced around for a few further moments, before continuing, "We should check on the other bodies, just to be sure. It might also be worth giving each of the crime scenes another once-over."
"Somebody either locked the window from the outside or pushed the body out before Ingrid locked the door. That's a fact, isn't it?" Meta massages her forehead. "Anyway, yes, I think we should perhaps check on Gideon. If the killer wants us to believe Gideon is alive, they must have moved his body, right?"

It was hard to disagree. They were still stumped on several of these crimes, and they probably would not make progress without them. Still, it would be a bad idea to split everyone up into more than two groups since they only had two guns. The tomb still needed to be opened, so it was decided.
Tomb Group: Jolina, Edna, Agnes, Fritz, Ingrid

"So... The Raphael we were with was somebody else? Well, it could also be another trick, but I'm tired of doubting everything..." She sighed. "What's going on here? Why is this note here of all places?"
"...Why is there blood?"
...
"Nevermind all that... We're here to check the tomb, right?"

“Whoever Raphael’s ‘friend’ was, it seems they failed to accomplish their task. Though we can’t be certain where they are now, unless they’re in that incinerator...”
Fritz shakes his head and marches on.
“We can deal with that later. For now...let’s open the tomb.”

Jolina, Edna, Agnes, Fritz, and Ingrid had arrived at the tomb. Each of them tested the door, possibly not trusting the others to tell the truth if it were locked or not. It was locked.
Together, they prepared to charge the door. If they could not bust it down, they would have to use the tools but that was a last resort. It was certainly an unconventional way to open the door, and in the back of their mind they wondered if anybody had ever done it before. If any higher power were present, they would certainly tell them the tomb had never been broken into before this very moment.
They charged at the door, feeling it buckle slightly. Then they charged again, counting together. And again. And agai-
From the other side, they could hear one of the brackets the crossbar was set in being torn off the wall. The tomb was open.

Final Chapter
Spoiler: February 1980

Everybody searched the houses thoroughly, as well as re-examining the bodies. The locked rooms seemed to all have reasonable solutions, except for Albrecht’s death and disappearance. But they were left with one unshakable conclusion as they put their heads together in the foyer.
“Mia must’ve just thrown the gun out the window.” Meta surmised. “And then right before we discovered her body, the killer took it and shot the man pretending to be Raphael. Maybe he survived and walked off, but ultimately he died in the tomb.”
Verrier nodded. “Regardless of the facts, only one person could’ve wiped down the table. And only one person could've done the trick in the boiler room--that’s you, Juna.”

“I saw you move to that table and put your hands on the edges. It’s a very clever solution to the locked room, but nonetheless dastardly. You must have had a very good reason.”

Without the strength to do much else, she glared at Juna. "... We don't need a confession. We already have the only answer that makes sense. I say we shoot her now."

"N-No!" She shouted, despite everything. "T-that's too drastic... we can't be killers as well. The good detektiv must have some restraints or something of the sort on him should we need to keep an eye on her", she said, giving a hopeful glance towards Christof.

Juna looked rather distraught, but Edna's comment just made her evidently grimace. Tugging on her sleeve some more, she considered what to do for a while, then took a deep breath.
"I'm telling the truth," she said shakily, "It wasn't me in the basement. That was one of you."

“I don’t think shooting her in necessary,” Fritz continued, “But if she had killed Erik I would be arguing for it as well. The point is that we don’t need to have a known murderer in the house while we’re trapped in this storm. We might be better off just throwing her out in the cold.”

Nearing the exit to the room, she spoke up again in a darker tone, with much the same desperation present, "I've... rigged this place with C4 connected to trapwires. If any of you try to leave, if any of you even try following me out of this place -- I'll make sure you never see the light of day again!"

“Do you think this will really work out for you? Is this really what you wanted, wha Tyru desire?” Agnes shook her head. “Don’t even bother answering. I don’t want to hear it.”
“I just hope whatever you’ve gotten has made you happy.” Agnes spat.

Despite his objections, Fritz seemed to be making no move to approach Juna or do anything useful at all.

“I know this is awful...but there’s still a chance. Once we get to the mainland, we’ll give the police a full report, and they can track her down! This isn’t over yet!”

Jolina fired, but the shot went wild as Edna pushed the gun out of the way and smashed the grandfather clock, making a cacophony of noise as it exploded. Juna ran off through the front door, shutting the door behind her.
She placed the final tripwire over the front door, successfully covering every exit of the mansion. She was still wearing a winter coat, so all that was left was to grab one of the spare boats. It would be incredibly risky, and she could die. But it would not be any more dangerous than crossing to West Berlin.
...
...
The group stood around in the mansion, defeated. They could not exit. Their best chance was leaving through the second or third floor, but there was no guarantee that Juna had not wired those windows as well. It was not worth the risk, they were stuck.
Ingrid tried to stand up, seeming like she was going to yell at Edna. But she had already gotten significantly more pale in the last few minutes... and just as suddenly she collapsed.

Juna stood by the cliffside, weeping softly. There would be time to prepare the boat afterwards, but now she would take a moment to say goodbye to the place she once called home. She clutched the headship ring tightly in her hand.
What’s even the point?
All this killing and for what? Running wouldn’t even accomplish anything, and if she had even the slightest hope the family would acknowledge her as head before, it certainly wouldn’t happen now.
“I did tell you that you would have to make tough decisions as head, didn’t I?” Gideon’s ghost asked in a sardonic tone.
“... I should’ve never listened to you. I should’ve… I should’ve...”
“Should’ve what? Given Albrecht the ring? Allow Mia to catch you? Raphael made it clear he would never acknowledge an outsider either.” Gideon shook his head. “Face it. In the end, you didn’t have a choice.”
“I had plenty of choices. For the first time in my life I had choices. I just needed time. I just needed… I needed someone to help me.” She collapsed to her knees, too weary to stand with her own strength anymore. The reality of killing two people had finally begun to sunk in.
She had taken one of the triggers to the C4 with her, and quickly tossed it as far as she could into the ocean. At the very least, she could save her from herself. The family would still be unable to leave because of the tripwires, but she would not allow herself make the decision on her own.
Soon she would have to gather a spare boat and leave. But for now, she clutched the ring in her hand and tried to keep the small flame of hope in her heart alive. There was still a path where she could be head... where she could see her family again... nothing was impossible...
