章 3404: The Message (Part 1)

"I hoped that Night would despise what stared back at her in the mirror and look for a new, better path as it happened for Dawn after she merged with Acala." Baba Yaga said. "I also believed that Night would either discard Meln or he would join her in enlightenment.

"After all, just by being with her, your mad brother finally got everything he wanted. Looks, power, and a second chance to prove to the world that had rejected him that he wasn't a monster. When I looked into his soul, I saw how twisted he was, but there was still something worth saving.

"I truly believed Night and Meln would have been repulsed by each other's creeping madness and that it would have pushed them toward the path of healing. Sometimes, crooked things can get straightened out by leaning on each other."

The Mother was referring to Acala and Dawn, but Lith and Solus felt like she was talking about them.
