about them most of her concern was for her eldest son her absolute favorite he was studying in milan he might be vulnerable to army conscription leonardo felt certain that if he were to fight he would die according to leonardo's memoirs the premonition was reinforced by her nightmares she dreamt constantly of her abusive mother seraphina chanculi whom leonarda had last seen NUMBER_TOKEN years before her mother appeared to her night after night and told leonardo that her son would die unless leonardo committed a blood sacrifice in order to protect him you know typical mother mother-daughter advice on child-rearing at any rate recurrent nightmares and mounting anxiety for the first three months of the second world war clearly caused leonarda to have some sort of psychotic break given what came next sounds like she's already quite broken so this is just gonna be i imagine it's gonna be pretty intense leonardo wrote in her memoirs that she was also heavily influenced in her thinking by greco-roman mythology she bore in mind the story of thetis goddess of the sea who had dipped her son achilles in the river sticks to make him invincible though perhaps this reference was cooked up later to make the act of murder and desecration of a corpse sound more educated and palatable i mean making a desecration of a corpse more palatable don't know if that's really possible i mean i guess you could just be like well no it was an autopsy technically desecrating a corpse but also a totally valid medical thing so okay yeah why not which brings us back to december NUMBER_TOKENth NUMBER_TOKEN and the final moments of emma linda faustina seti oh the woman being murdered by an axe oh we went back in time of course we did she was in there they were in that apartment having some biscuits and then we went back and explored this woman's whole horrible childhood blood biscuits the martyr was sipping the coffee i raised this quote by the way i didn't personally raise any axes i raised the axe i mean other than for chopping wood i think i worked like a thunderbolt i think my strength tripled otherwise i could not have done what i did leonardo brought the axe down on her friend's neck and nearly decapitated her with one stroke an impressive act for such a tiny middle-aged woman yeah although axes are pretty heavy like i'm like i'm not exactly the strongest man in the world uh it's an understatement but i can chop a big old block of wood in half with an axe because an axe is heavy you put it on the chopping thing you swing the axe down boom splits in two easy leonardo then walked around the sofa to the front of the torso the top of which was at first pumping and then oozing blood she gripped the head with both hands and wrenched it free oh my god that's one of those i don't know like one of those uh nails on chalkboards like the the the idea the the the tendon and the skin kind of tearing off is why are we talking about this
