"I repeat. Many have tried. And all have died. I'm the anomaly that survived against fate's will. And I only attempted it because I had nothing to lose and no other options."
Sighing, Bil began to relax as he played with Nelphy's hair, "You know, I wonder how your aunt will act the moment she sees you?"
"W-why do you say that? …" Nelphy asked, still feeling shaky after Bil's previous statements.
"Because your mom was right. You're a spitting image of your aunt when she was your age. Change the hairstyle, add some new clothes, and no one would be able to tell the difference," explained Bil. "That's why I don't say much about her. You'll recognize her at first glance. Then again, she was your mom's identical twin, so you also look just like your mother apart from your darker hair."
"Twin? So, Mom was a twin?"
Bil nodded. "Yup, it runs in her family."
"Then… you knew them both since you were young?" asked Nelphy.
