*The multitudes of dark shadows recede into themselves, skeletal faces frozen in a mixture of anguish and sorrow—
*as if weeping for the lost princess, or merely disjointed memories of past sorrows.
 	
*Evie: You're not the Mother I know...
 	
*Evie: How did things turn out this way?
*Evie: What DID you do to Lady Estia?
*Evie: Father would be devasta—
 	
*Miriam: Do NOT bring your father into this.
 	
*Miriam: I loved him before you were ever born; do you think I am unaware of his heart?
*Miriam: It is precisely I knew he would be conflicted—to trust his own wife, or sister!
*Miriam: It was already foretold; does one not struggle against a fate so unjustly imposed?
 	
*The very plane seems to pulse in response to these dark emotions.
 	
*Miriam: You do not know what I've seen.
*Miriam: What Kranus has shown me.
 	
*Evie: So that dark demon poisoning your mind has a name.
 	
*Miriam: No. It is no demon.
 	
*Miriam: It gave me a second chance to save YOU!

*?: ...Who am I?

*Evie: What...
 	
*Evie: There is unimaginable grief on Miriam's face as she approaches her daughter.
*Miriam: I doubted that shadow at first.
*Miriam: Those visions seemed only restless nightmares.
 	
*Miriam: But they weren't, daughter.
*Miriam: Everything that has happened...that WILL happen...
*Miriam: I have seen it all.
 	
*Miriam: Do you understand, Evie?! Estia would have *KILLED* you!
 	
*Evie: LIES! She would NEVER DO THAT!
*Evie: Khh—!
 	
*Evie stumbles backwards from the impact, falling to a knee.
*Miriam points her rapier at her daughter's neck, a thin stream of blood trickling down her neck.
 	
*Miriam: You know nothing.
*Miriam: And if I must force you to open your eyes to the truth...
 	
*Miriam: ...Then so be it.
