Karakuri Circus EP10 - Francine

Narumi continues the story using Yin's memories within him. Jin was devastated when Francine agreed to marry Yin, and he abducted her and disappeared. Nine years later Yin found Jin in Quiberon, but Francine was imprisoned by the villagers because of a rare disease. Yin worked to perfect Aqua Vitae to cure her, but just as he succeeded, Francine was killed when the prison was set ablaze. Twenty Three years later, Jin created an automaton in her image called Lady Francine and injected it with Aqua Vitae to bring her to life. He then created clowns to make her laugh, but they failed, so he released the Zonapha syndrome into the village, forcing them to make her laugh or suffer a living death. Lucille reveals she was one of the villagers who suffered at the antics of the murderous clowns. Six years later, Yin returned and sacrificed himself to activate the Aqua Vitae and save the villagers. When Lucille drank the water, she acquired Yin's memories and knowledge along with the puppet Harlequin, and vowed to crush Jin's automata. Suddenly Pantalone appears, seeking the Aqua Vitae for Lady Francine's automatons, but Liang Jian-Feng sets off a massive explosion, destroying both himself and the spring.
