A Strange Diary

Rarity: 3
A strange diary, filled with childish and broken handwriting. It emanates a strange mix of Resonator and Tacet Discords.

Today, a strange man came to our village. He said to call him brother, if I didn't mind. He was really friendly, but for some reason, he seemed different from the people in my village. He seemed to know a lot about me, even telling me that we were "of the same kind."
He told me a really strange fairy tale. The ending of the fairy tale was kind of scary... but reality was even scarier, he said. He then asked: "What would you do if you were the little black lamb?"
Before I could think of a reply, he had already left with a cryptic "See you next time."
I told father about it, but he said no one like that had ever visited our village...
Who could he be?

Sorry... I'm so sorry... (smudged water stains)
If only I weren't so weak, I could've driven away those Tacet Discords... If Sissi didn't have to protect me...
There must be a way. Father said I can manipulate the frequencies of Tacet Discords... and humans.
Sissi, I'm so sorry you look like this now... It is only temporary. I'll do everything I can to return you to what you were before. I know you can still hear me.
Father promised me. He'll surely find a way to help.

It's been three months since that incident. Father doesn't seem to remember I'm still keeping a diary... He gave the notebook to me, but if he found out I'd been writing about everything, he'd be so mad.
He orders me to do what he says and use my powers to recombine frequencies of Tacet Discords.
But if anyone finds out about the truth — that Sissi, who went missing, actually died trying to protect me, and then I turned her into a horrifying Tacet Discord...
They will see me as a monster. I will be banished, and no one will ever understand or accept me with what I can do... No one... except Him.
But will the dead really come back through frequency manipulation? And if so, what would happen to their shattered souls, trapped inside their new bodies?
I really don't know...

Every day, I feel more and more uneasy. The people in the village are disappearing, and those Tacet Discords father has brought back...
I can't shake the feeling that something is very wrong. But I am trapped, like a moth to a flame, unable to escape this dark path.
I don't know what my father did... It must have been something terrible for the tension and unease here. I am not allowed outside anymore, and when I ask why, he just brushes it off.
If the price for my wish to come true is more bloodshed... I...

The villagers have surrounded our house. They must have learned about it all.
The murderer... is that what they call me now? Or perhaps my father, too? At this point, what difference does it make?
After all that has happened... Can someone come and save me?
If I must pay the price for Qichi Village...
If there is a god... I hope they can...
Save my village...
