INT - THE LADY'S DRESSING ROOM - DAY

*This is the Lady's flashback. The Lady is doing her hair and singing her song until she hears a thud coming from the guest area.*

The Lady:
(Sigh)
Ignore them... The guest might just be fighting for food again...

*The Lady continues humming until a louder thud was heard. She growls in annoyance. But continues acting like nothing happened until she hears a guest screaming in pain. The Lady gasps and sees one of the guest with his hand cut off and something carved into the table. It reads "I'm coming for you" in Japanese.*

The Lady:
She escaped.

*The Lady rushes back to her quarters to see if anyone broke in. Which was just the thing that happened. The vase was broken and the door to the mirror room was opened. The Lady walks in and sees Six as tall as her. The Lady pulls out her katana and slowly inches toward Six. Once close enough, The Lady Grabs Six's shoulder and turns her around to reveal A Mirror in front of Six's face causing The Lady to be weaken. She gets up and Six starts to fight. Six wins and stands right above the Lady. She kneels down and gets ready to eat the Lady only to stop before landing the first bite.*

The Lady:
What are you waiting for? Aren't you hungry?

Six:
...

*Six grabs the Lady by her hair.*

Six:
You listen you witch. The longer this Maw stands, the darker this world gets! You will tell me how to shut this operation down.

The Lady:
... Aren't you hungry?

Six:
Cut the crap and tell me h-

*The Lady placed her hand on Six's stomach. Which helped feed her.*

Six:
H-how th-

The Lady:
Only a member of the Konishi family have the abilities similar to mine.

*Six punches The Lady in the gut.*

Six:
Liar! You killed my mom!

The Lady:
killed...? Janis... I am your mother.

*The Lady takes off her mask to reveal that it's Six's mother still with the scar on her eye. Six was shocked.*

The Lady:
What's wrong Janis? You look like you've seen a ghost?

Six:
...

The Lady:
After you left, I managed to kill your Auntie who wanted to have you as a rare specialty called "The number six". But before I delivered the final blow, She told me something I could never forget "Go on. Kill me. And destroy the family forever. Once the Maw sinks into the deep sea, none of the guest will return, and you and your only daughter will starve to death."
I don't want to die. Neither do I wish that you die. But I had no other choice. It was either you or the entire Konishi bloodli-

*Six Pins down The Lady in a fit of rage.*

Six:
So you're willing to throw your only daughter down in the ditch for brain-dead strangers to eat her just so the family name stays as it is!? This is Bullcrap!

The Lady:
Jannis, Calm down.

Six:
HOW CAN I CALM DOWN WHEN YOU'RE KILLING INNOCENT CHILDREN! FAMILY OR NO FAMILY, THEIR JUST KID-

The Lady:
I THINK IT'S STUPID TO, JANNIS...!
(Crying)
I hated the Idea as much as you did... there was a reason why I refused the second time, Jannis.

Six:
Then why did you Choose the family over your own daughter.

The Lady:
(Cry)
...I guess it was choice by numbers...

*Six looks in disappointment.*

The Lady:
Place your hand on the left side of the door on your way out.

*Six walks away toward the exit.*

Six:
Knowing that you are my mother... I won't kill you... but knowing what you have done... I fear I can never forgive you.

*Six leaves the Maw.*
