(Added update [5/5] for "starsfalling" brother)
Murphy didn't mean to eavesdrop on the kind of family talk a mother and daughter might have during their reunion, but alas, Mrs. Cecilia's spirit seemed far from normal.
Her consciousness had long been made incoherent due to the erosion from the Subspace, and the minor truths she uttered under the influence of Phemys's words were enough for Murphy to piece together an "answer" in his mind.
Regrettably, this answer didn't explain everything. Instead, it filled Murphy's heart with new questions.
In summary, the question was, why Cui Si?
Why was Dusk's target in Transylvania a drunken waste of a mother who had been fallen for over a hundred years?
What other secrets did Cui Si hold?
What had she done in her claimed tumultuous past to make Dusk chase her like a wild dog after a bone incessantly?
Ah, it was such a headache.
