Sunny glanced at the others and saw that they, too, were confused. Everyone except for Caster, that is, who seemed like he knew something.
A few moments passed in tense silence, which was broken by Changing Star's sigh. Looking at them, she said evenly:
"My mother is one of the Hollow. She became Hollow while pregnant with me, actually. So I never really met her. Just her… body."
Nephis grew silent. After a while, a strange smile appeared on her face.
"It's funny, really. When my grandmother was still alive, I made a point of treating that body as nothing but a corpse. But once she passed away and we were the only ones left… well. I found myself getting a bit confused."
Nephis shrugged and turned away once again.
