## Events Of Criminal Case

### Captured Beauty

Rozetta and Mia collected enough evidence to arrest **Galatea** for the murder.

Galatea acted horrified when accused of killing her husband, asking them why would she murder the love of her life, but after facing evidence, Galatea broke down to tears and admitted that she killed her husband to remain human. Rozetta was confused on what Galatea was talking about and so Galatea told her that she isn’t a real person but merely what her husband considers the ideal woman, at least until she aged. Galatea revealed Pygmalion viewed women as “flawed” creatures and so he invested most of his time and effort to create a statue of what he imagines to be his dream women and he paid offerings to Aphrodite to bring the statue to life with a kiss and that statue is none other than Galatea herself. Galatea explained that Pygmalion quickly fill in love with her for her beauty, but the older she got, Pygmalion started losing interest in her and by the time she turned 50, any love he had for her was gone and he could no longer look at her. The only thing that got them close was their daughter, Paphos but when she died out natural causes, he distanced herself from Galatea and didn’t even come by her side when she died herself. When the whole family was resurrected, Galatea was happy, seeing it as a second chance to rekindle her and her husband’s relationship but when they came to Xerda, all hopes were lost. Galatea noticed how Pygmalion was checking out Scholastica and when she saw her, she understood why: She looked exactly like her when she was young. Galatea was mad, but she didn’t confront her husband, until he saw her sculpting Scholastica. Pygmalion claimed that he was making a statue of her young self as a gift, but Galatea knew better, she figured out that the statue isn’t a gift but her replacement and that once he is not dome with it, he’ll have Aphrodite bring her to life and Galatea will turn back to ivory. Galatea loved her husband, but she valued life more and wasn’t going to let her husband take it away from her, so when he was busy finishing the details of the statue he was making of Johanna, she pushed it right at him as he turned his back and crushed him. Rozetta and Mia understood Galatea’s frustrations but regardless, they took her to Johanna. Johanna pitied Galatea but she knew that pardoning her would set a bad image on the city, but instead of having her locked up for the murder, Johanna decided to instead banish her from the city.
