* The Unnamed Alchemist's journals. They detail the original creator of the Crystal Curse's attempts to summon demons to the world, in hopes of keeping the Alchemist's Guild afloat and their coffers flowing. It details how he went about with his crystal project, how he found out that using children would hasten the curse's progression. After being given children to experiment on by the Guild, he then forces them to bind shards, of which Miriam had said [[TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening "it felt like claws scraping against her bones"]]. At the end of it all, he expects them all to be sacrificed to summon demons en masse to the world. How does this fit into Nightmare Fuel? Simple: the entire journal volumes are like reading from the perspective of a mad scientist who doesn't care how many people he has to kill and hurt so long as he and the guild profits, up to and including [[PoweredByAForsakenChild children]]. He has absolutely no remorse for his actions, and only seems to feel regret when Gebel is back to finish off the Alchemist's Guild (which is likely less MyGodWhatHaveIDone [[VillainousBreakdown and]] [[VillainsWantMercy more]] OhCrap). Perhaps the worst part is that it can paint some unsettling real life connotations on how some institutions make use of child labour without caring about them, and only using them as a means to an end.
