“Grandfather, is your brother making you feel uncomfortable? Don’t worry, I have it on good authority that time will heal that wound,” Raphael said patronizingly.
He abruptly stood up. “Bring my dinner to my room,” he declared, to no one in particular, as if this was not already standard practice for his visits to Geistfabel. He walked towards the door, but stopped on the way next to Juna. “Not you,” he said, without turning towards her. He then proceeded out the room.

"Don't mind me, I was just um..." that comment had caught Heinrich off guard and before he had a chance to properly respond, Raphael was already out the door. "Goodnight," he pathetically added, even though he knew his grandson was probably too far away to hear him.

When Erik responded to Edna, he nodded at him.
“Well put, son,” he said, “Yes, I’m sure no one will object to spending more time here. I know we’re all quite busy, but just think about it as a chance for more family time. That’s always nice, right?”
It was clear that he didn’t really believe what he was saying, especially now that the family was devolving into arguments.

"I have recently finished project that you may find interesting. May I show you?" He said moving towards Albrecht. Definitely not having picked up on the specifics of the conversation, but hoping to calm things down for everyone's sake.

"Can't help but wonder if this family will actually be able to get along for at least five minutes, especially at a funeral for a family member..." he mumbled.

"...ah, erm, that's not any excuse to argue, though." Agnes backpedals a little, and scratches under her nose. "Yet I struggle to blame them, I too feel the need to scream my heart out. Yet I cannot find any motivation to do so anymore." Agnes stares into the hot flames, the light gently reflecting off of her pale skin.

He tapped his fan against his cheek, before pivoting to point it at Ingrid. "Unless you have any theories to propose? A funeral isn't typically suited to reasoning battles, but if ever there was a funeral for them, it would be Gideon's, no?"

Agnes' head jerked towards Ingrid, almost violently, yet she said nothing, only giving her a glare to express her sadness and anger. Clearly this reaction was at Ingrid's words, but it wasn't entirely clear which set Agnes off.
Slowly, she turned back to the fire, hanging her head. It was better not to speak. Agnes knew it wouldn't be right to talk angrily to an adult like that.
A silent "...you're wrong..." was all that managed to come out of her mouth.

Thankfully for everyone in the room, Lynde's proposal did actually manage to distract Albrecht from his rant. "Oh yes? Still working on those dolls?" It had recently become a standard question for him to ask Lynde. It was possible he didn't remember asking the first few times.
"Yes of course, always!" Lynde said with a big grin before scurrying away.
He was gone for exactly enough time to wonder where exactly he was going before he returned, obviously he had stowed this project much closer than his room.
Lynde returned carefully holding a doll house. This was of course something everyone else in the house had seen before, but the diorama itself was itself notable. As Lynde set it down, it bbecame clear that he had brought in an exact replica of the manor itself.
"It is, to my knowledge, an exact scale replica of the Manorhouse. I have triple checked every measurement. I even have dolls of everyone here! And that's not all, i also have one for the guest house as well. " Lynde proudly informed everyone in the room as he opened up the miniature version of the manor and set up everyone present in this very room, even going so far as to place Raphael in his room.

"Why can't it be both?" Verrier responded to Ingrid. "It was definitely a case of Gideon being weird, but that doesn't mean it can't also be important. Unfortunately I'm not in much of a mood to read right now, so if that's where the answer lays, it will have to wait."
He tapped his fan against his cheek, before pivoting to point it at Ingrid. "Unless you have any theories to propose? A funeral isn't typically suited to reasoning battles, but if ever there was a funeral for them, it would be Gideon's, no?"

Ingrid seemed like she had more to say, but her niece made her rethink her words and turn her attention away from Verrier. "... Agnes, I'm, I'm sorry about that." she put the book aside, stumbling over her words. "I didn't mean that you don't care about your father, just... Forget it, I was overthinking it, I'm sorry."

Erik shuffled a bit closer to his parents during the argument between Raphael and Albrecht, wincing quite a bit at the mention of the Allies messing up his plans. That made the room very uncomfortable for him, to say the least.

Cecilia gently placed a hand on Erik's shoulder. "Now now, dear. I'm sure everyone will calm down eventually. Just try to give it sometime, okay?

She didn't say anything in response to Ingrid but she did not miss Agnes' reaction. While she appeared worried, she didn't say anything to the child, perhaps deciding this would be better spoken about in private.

“There’s not really any point worrying about it now,” Fritz replied, glancing at Ingrid. “If Gideon had some trick planned, it will probably be revealed in due time. But he might have just wanted to be left alone.”
When Lynde brought in the dollhouse, he suddenly stood up and walked over, his interest seemingly piqued.
“Oh, now this is fine craftsmanship. I could use something like this on set...Impressive work.”
He reached into the parlor, pulled out his own doll, and held it up to his face.
“Hmph. My ears aren’t nearly this big, but I suppose some imperfections are understandable...Still a bit unfortunate.”

"Well... I wonder who Gideon will name in his will..." Harley mumbled to himself before looking back at the dollhouse.
"I don't remember my nose being this big..." He said, clearly talking about the doll that looks just like him.

Verrier held the pose for a few more seconds, before nodding and dropping his arm. "Yes, it is rather too early I suppose. I wonder if perhaps the will reading is another piece of the puzzle?" Despite ostensibly having little stake in the will, there was a hint of glee in his otherwise controlled features as he considered this.

"My, this is a fine piece of work!" Albrecht said admiringly, examining it as best he could from his position. "An accurate replica, I take it? No silly hidden mysteries this time around?"

Meta opened the envelope. Will-readings were very uncommon, and really only the kind of thing you’d see in fiction. So it was of course no surprise that Gideon instructed for it to be done this way.

Once Meta hit the pause, Fritz began to speak in a noticeably strained voice.
"If you wouldn't mind getting on with it, Meta..." Fritz muttered, "Gideon was rarely respectful of his guests' time, but I imagine you could do a better job of that."

"Well... Get on with it, madam! Who's the new head of the von Brandauer family?" He asked, wondering about who the new head could possibly be. He look at the other members of the von Brandauer family, pondering over which of them is most likely candidate to be the new head...

"I don't have time for Gideon's games. Didn't before, don't now," Albrecht growled. "He stole the headship from me, and he knows it. Perhaps now that he no longer has need of it, he saw sense and passed it back to the rightful heir: me."
"That would be for the best," Verrier agreed.
"Then again, this will's already ridiculous as-is. To think, he'd buy Geistfabel right out from under me! He certainly inherited my brains, that boy. Verrier, look into it when we get back. I won't go quietly." Verrier gave a small bow of acknowledgement.

Meta continues reading,
I will now announce the next head of the family, as is my right--I’m sure many of you have already guessed that I have not made this simple. Allow me to reassure you that it is in fact quite simple, with a fool-proof method that cannot be forged.
Those sitting leaned closer to the edge of their seats. Heinrich stared outside the window at the falling rain, possibly already having a plot forming regardless of the result.

He shakes his head, trying to make sense of Gideon's will. "Of course, Gideon would do that. Make us solve the final closed room... Though, I have no idea what he meant by that..." He pinch the bridge of his nose.

She cleared her throat awkwardly. "Either way, we shouldn't get bothered about this now... We should just relax! Take it easy for now, we've all earned it. Oh, and... Meta, this makes Agnes the interim head, yes? We should prepare for that soon..." She stared at her daughter with a concerned look in her eyes.

She realizes just in time and pushes them back up her face self-consciously. “Anyway, yes, Agnes is Gideon’s next of kin, so she will be the head in the meantime. I can talk to her about that later.”

"Maybe Gideon's ring was hidden in the tomb somehow?" Fritz suggests, looking far more invested now that money was on the line. "I don't recall seeing it on his finger, so maybe it was stashed there somehow."
"That place had no hiding spots though, unless you're about to propose the ring was mixed with the concrete. Or that you want to open up the corpse..."

"He was an... oddity, but I'm sure it's nothing as dramatic as someone dying," Juna addressed Verrier, "Maybe there is a secret code in the tomb!" She said, somewhat sarcastically.

Lynde perked up and asked "does this mean people will be randomly switching rooms? And barricading their doors and such?!" He began furiously arranging the diorama he hadn't left unattended since he had brought it out before the will reading, and going so far as to begin to erect barricades within the diorama.
"If you switch rooms please tell me so i can keep the diorama accurate- oh that defeats the purpose. Hrm. Maybe set yourself up before you leave tomorrow then? That sounds fun and safe right?" Lynde mused aloud as he worked and fussed on the diorama.
