oooh, you are right! I am sorry I just saw that room very different from Alice's usual stone-built room and jumped to the conclusion that Jack must have taken her to his home haha; (but i do have very shaky evidence he did take her to his home at the end of this reblog hfjdk)

and in Retrace 31 too, Jack chats with the Intention in a similar looking room and openly states he is on Baskerville grounds so haha, yeah:

in any case, it appears this room(hall?) similar to the one in Retrace 73 where Jack is chatting with the Intention might be the actual room at the top of the tower while the other stone-built rooms are on lower floors?

because no matter how i see it, I can't imagine how one part of the room is built in a rudimentary stone structure and the other part is built with intricate architecture.

This, the room where Jack finds one of Oz's body disintegrating when he tries to store Lacie's memories, it has a bookshelf, among other things. I feel like it's also doubles as a nursery for Alice for her to study during some time of the day. perhaps, she brings her toys there too?

okay, so rereading Retrace 99, I have a general idea of the stone tower:

Here is the entrance:

next, the stairs to the top:

More stairs:

so, one of these rooms do have a relatively ornate door:

and then we come to the room where Black Alice was waiting for Jack in Retrace 74/ Core of the Abyss in Retrace 99 (as you say, both these scenes are the same.)

this room is at the top of the tower (cuz Oz shouts to Gil to leave him and go after Alice to the top.)

yes, yes this is the exact room where Jack was talking to White Alice in Retrace 73. Thanks for correcting me!

these, again from Retrace 99.

I am here trying to reconfigure my assumption of the structure of that tower bc I thought it had nothing but one stone room at the top lol. but it appears there are floors and other rooms too. Maybe, those draped windows are just for pretence, and you can't actually open them, so Lacie and Alice come down to the stone rooms on the lower floors? Ok, i am looking too much into this, so I will stop lol.

I am still confused over the graves btw. I like your theory that Jack built a separate grave for Lacie in the Vessalius gardens, and that he took Alice to Lacie's grave situated in Baskerville grounds.

so that Alice might not have been taken to Vessalius gardens ever.

even then this scene? (Retrace 8)

and then Oscar says this scenery did exist in the Vessalius Mansion a hundred years ago? (Retrace 13)

I don't know. this is why I was leaning toward the Manipulated Memories Theory since it was Jack who appeared in this memory and warned them about the Intention. I am not sure if this scene ever happened, if he ever took Alice to his place? ok, but on the whole, this scene is a bit iffy to me anyway, because even if Oz and B-Rabbit!Alice can see this memory (bc of their connection to Jack and Alice), I doubt Gil would be able to see it? He has connections to the Tragedy, Glen and Jack, yes, but not in a physical sense.

In Retrace 31, Jack does hint toward sneaking out of Baskerville grounds without Glen's permission.

And later, White Alice repeats this to Vincent:

but her memories are already gone at this point so I don't know if her going over to the Vessalius Gardens is something that already happened or yet to happen.

Finally, in Retrace 37:

Isn't the statue of the Angel(?) the same as that in Vessalius Grounds? I feel like it's the same grave.

On the whole, my conclusion is that only one grave for Lacie has been shown to us throughout the series and it's under the tree in Vessalius Grounds and that somehow, sometime, one day, Jack did manage to smuggle White Alice out of the tower.

buuut i haven't checked all chapters thoroughly or anything ahfgsj, this is just from what i remember and checking those chapters alone. so feel free to reblog and correct me if you find anything! I don't mind at all; in fact, I would rest better if all my confusions are resolved lol

@longagoitwastuesday hi, just thought I should share this with you! It appears Jack did take White Alice to his home. So, the visit to Lacie's grave was not a manipulated memory as I was wondering. (Retrace 73)

Like, the Tower in the Baskerville grounds don't have all those curtains and such intricate interior architecture? It's just mostly a stone prison, more or less.

these two panels are so hauntingly despairingly beautiful I just can't--

in the last moments of their lives, they have that sad smile on their face of having come to the realization that they.... just can't go on anymore, that this is... the end, that if they wait any longer they can't protect what they need to

plus add to it the fact that both of them were trying to protect Oz here makes it all the more heartbreaking

[fivekrystalpetals]

I was mostly wrong about everything else (those plot twists were insane even now I can't make any sense of them no way could I have figured that out)

but I was right about this so yaaaaay

Can't you hear? Can't you see? Oz is crying and scraming
