"After I found out my dad wasn't coming to get me... I just blacked out, and when I woke up, I was in my mom's arms, walking around the yard while she was humming," Mine said in a low voice, sighing. She tightened her hug and continued, "I don't know why, but my dad never showed up again before I went to the academy."
Edward felt his shoulder getting wet as a sob was heard. "And at the academy, I didn't like it there... Amelin and Sillian didn't either... In our first year, we were all excluded. No one talked to us, the teachers seemed to hate us..."
Edward would hear Litty say something in his ear, with a strange mana emanation in Mine's voice. "Do you remember the teacher? It seems like the same thing is happening to her, there are two versions of the truth."
"Does that mean your memory was distorted?" Edward asked, making Litty widen her eyes in surprise, but then she understood. "Ah... I see, so it's an intrusive magic, a curse..."
