You did not seek this kind of truth. You keep running away from it for so many years. Open your eyes, my dear. The truth is right in front of you! The evidence that you seek in the past is now here. That girl... that little girl is the culprit.

She's the one who killed your family.
She's the one who loses your innocence.
She deceived you.

Are you blinded by these lies from her? Oh you mortal creatures are so 'unique.' All of these are one of her kits. The main attraction is near, and you should've known right now.

The priestess looked at the mirror, caressing each of two vases. Each of them has their own flowers. One is a yellow chrysanthemum and on the right vase is a daisy. She stared at both of the vases with a slightly worried face, till her demeanor became unwelcoming towards a man who was right behind her. "You wanted to show them the painful truth?" The man walked towards her and joined her to examine the two vases.

These two vases are not ordinary ones. These flowers inside the vases have their own meaning. They were separated from many flowers, making these two really special. The priestess doesn't dare to say such words as she doesn't understand how a mortal creature (human) reveals their emotions. The man right beside her sighed as he looked at the daisy flower.

"I'm worried about this young man. I also wondered how determined he was, searching for the truth of his deceased caretaker."

"Say, Goddess of Truth... Have you decided to guide these people?"

The priestess was hesitant to speak. It took a while for her to think. These 'flowers' needed her help to grow. But these flowers could grow by themselves, but they couldn't as something is blocking them. The vases themselves.

"Blinded with some sweet lies that she had already prepared, such a weak mind for a mortal creature like them to fall into her trap."

The priestess keeps an eye on both flowers. Seemingly she was unsure that she could guide them both to resist those lies and face their dark truth that they were looking for. Prayers aren't enough, she must guide them as those rotten lies are already covering their eyes.

It keeps repeating over and over again. Each timeline they're both dealing with, and each delicate lie that they have been spreaded is endless. What was the black cat's purpose? Does she really want to be 'The one and only savior?'
