Did anyone remove the ribbon?

At the end, I never made the choice to remove the ribbon. What happens when you do? Does it provide any clues to the truth about what really happened?

What ribbon? From Vivian?

[BeastBox]

You get the option to remove Nerissa's ribbon twice; once in your office and once on the street. No big revelation comes of it; she stops you both times.

So then at the end, on the street, what's to say that the spell really wasn't yet broken?

That's a revelation isn't it?


And what about Vivian's ribbon too?

Georgie and Vivian say. And Nerissa is clearly blabbing during the Crooked Man's speech, and speaking freely at the end. I think "spell is broken" is well supported.

Nah.

What of it? She took it off.

I should play this again. And watch those girls very closely. But I don't know if I could pick up anything even the second time.

Do you get to actually do it? Pull off Vivian's ribbon?

All of the girls with the ribbons were involved in something. I feel like Bigby ultimately failed the original investigation.

Not yourself. She either removes it herself in front of you (if you jump on Georgie's car) or you just find her dead (if you jump on the Crooked Man's car).

[motoleo]

Even if you select the option to remove it, she still removed it before you? Oh.

What were they keeping secret? When you get the chance to actually see a ribbon removed it's not really like they had anything to say that would've helped anything.

They were questioned.

The spell is broken because Nerissa was able to speak freely at the trial. Her not wanting it removed is merely psychological. Removing it will be an important act for her when she's ready to finally let it all go.

[You takin notes]

If you choose to remove vivians ribbon yourself while in the pudding n pie, she stops you.

[motoleo]

Who was the one we had seen in the office. I remember that bit was really strange because well obviously she couldn't tell you anything but I wasn't picking up the clues there. It was really weird because the whole time you feel like you're onto something but you don't know what.

Remember? I think she brought Bigby there in attempts to tell him something?

Everyone remember that scene?

Her head will fall off if you remove the ribbon. Thats why she doesnt want you to remove it. Knowing this i attempted to remove it but she stops you lol

THE VELVET RIBBON

by Ann McGovern

Once there was a man who fell in love with a beautiful girl. And before

the next full moon rose in the sky, they were wed.

To please her husband, the young wife wore a different gown each night.

Sometimes she was dressed in yellow; other nights she wore red or blue

or white. And she always wore a black velvet ribbon around her slender

neck.

Day and night she wore that ribbon, and it was not long before her

husband's curiosity got the better of him.

"Why do you always wear that ribbon?" he asked.

She smiled a strange smile and said not a word.

At last her husband got angry. And one night he shouted at his bride.

"Take that ribbon off! I'm tired of looking at it."

You will be sorry if I do," she replied, "so I won't." Every morning at

breakfast, the husband ordered his wife to remove the black velvet

ribbon from around her neck. Every night at dinner he told her the same

thing.

But every morning at breakfast and every night at dinner, all his wife

would say was, "You'll be sorry if I do. So I won't."

A week had passed. The husband no longer looked into his wife's eyes. He

could only stare at that black velvet ribbon around her neck.

One night as his wife lay sleeping, he tiptoed to her sewing basket. He

took out a pair of scissors.

Quickly and quietly, careful not to awaken her, he bent over his wife's

bed

and

SNIP! went the scissors, and the velvet ribbon fell to the floor

and

SNAP! off came her head. It rolled over the floor in the moonlight,

wailing tearfully:

"I...told...you...you'd...be...s-o-r-r-y!"
