... [She takes a deep breath, looking out toward the sea.] My father was a successful businessman. But when I was a kid, he went bankrupt. On August 15th, more than a decade ago, he set the house on fire with everyone inside. My older sister and her mother, [Notice, not "our mother"] a few of the people who worked for him, and me.
The last thing I remember of the fire is my sister trying to save me. She was really the only person who cared about me back then. And then when we died, it was like being swallowed up. There was a nightmare--it seemed like it would never end.
When Ayaka and Kenjirou adopted my brothers and I, Ayaka asked us about it. Between what she told us and Marry's storybook, I think I know a little about it. Where we were swallowed up is called the Kagerou Daze, and it returns one of the people it takes in with a snake possessing the body in order to give it life again.
[She looks at him, struggling to keep her eyes grey.]
My power is the snake possessing me. It's the snake of Concealing Eyes. It protects me and keeps me alive in order to remain in the world.
