Before being killed off-screen, Wendy, now remorseful, confesses her role in it, which had been sparked by her jealousy over Brown. She then brings Gregory, as Stray Dog, to kill everyone in the orphanage. Wendy, however, retaliates against the children by mentally conditioning Gregory into assuming the persona of "Stray Dog," a dangerous creature she had invented to assume power over the other children. Afterward, the Aristocrats approach Jennifer, now an adult, in the hopes that she will replace Wendy as their leader, whom they have deposed.
Jennifer, now a child, slaps her and casts aside her brooch, hating the Aristocrats and herself for being too cowardly to oppose them. Wendy then reveals herself as the Princess of the Red Rose. Bullied by the children, Jennifer is horrified to find that she has become the offering of the month meeting up with Wendy in the courtyard, she loses Brown and later finds his corpse in the Aristocrats' meeting room, where he had been killed in her place. The game's setting then transitions to the now-inhabited orphanage. Assisting her is Brown, a dog she frees from confinement in the airship, and the chronically sickly Wendy, who is the only child to be friendly to her. Under the threat of death, Jennifer must appease the Aristocrats by bringing an offering for them each month. She awakens in a largely abandoned airship in flight to an unknown destination, ruled by a cruel group of young girls known as the Red Crayon Aristocrats, despite the presence of adults on board. Thankfully, the craze died a death long ago and parents can breathe a. Yes, that’s right, we are talking about Furby’s, the robotic yet seemingly sentient beings with a mind of their own. Four children sneak up on her and pour water on her, before shoving her into the coffin. Remember that nineties toy craze that swept the globe and had innumerable children playing parent to otherworldly looking gremlin creatures.
She follows him to a grave in the courtyard, where she digs up a coffin with a bloody sack inside it. Described as "essentially an interactive movie" by its director Shuji Ishikawa and associate producer Yuya Takayama, the narrative of Rule of Rose centers on the traumatic childhood memories of Jennifer, "an ordinary, vulnerable girl" these memories sometimes manifest in exaggerated ways. Set in England, the game opens in 1930, as 19-year-old Jennifer is led to an abandoned orphanage by a boy.
