Eve Moonlit, also known as the Demon of Sloth, was making her way towards her cottage that she shares with her husband Adam Moonlit. She was dragging her foster children Hansel Strever [Patissier Hansel] and his sister Gretel [Patissier Gretel] with her.

Patissier Gretel: Let us go, you witch!

Eve Moonlit: No way! Your father is going to be excited to see you again. And his grandchildren.

Patissier Hansel: Don't you dare hurt them! They're mine and Lily's!

Eve Moonlit: Your father and I are going to make sure you don't see her again. Now, come on.

She opened the door to her cottage.

Adam Moonlit: Eve! You're back!

Eve Moonlit: It took me a little longer than expected, I'm sorry. These 2 were being a little...testy.

Adam Moonlit: Hansel! Gretel! Welcome home!

Patissier Gretel: This is not our home anymore.

Patissier Hansel: And you're not our parents.

Eve Moonlit: Why I oughta...

She was about to use her magic on Gretel and Hansel, but a gloved hand stopped her from doing so.

???: It's alright, Eve. I'll take care of it.

Hansel and Gretel gasped. Trickster came out.

Patissier Gretel: Trickster?! But, you're in jail!

Patissier Hansel: How'd you get out?

Trickster: Why should I tell you? You're just a couple of children.

Eve Moonlit: Uh, Theodore?

Trickster: What is it?

Eve Moonlit reached into her shirt and pulled out one of the Strever twins. The baby was crying.

Patissier Hansel: Kelly!

Patissier Gretel: Or is that Blake?

Patissier Hansel: No, that's Kelly.

Trickster: Blake and Kelly? That's adorable. And to think you out of all the Len modules gave birth to twins.

Eve pulled out the other Strever twin from underneath her shirt and gave him to Trickster. That baby was also crying.

Patissier Hansel: Leave them alone!

Trickster: You know what, Eve? It's a good thing that you kept them alive. I bet you and Adam would like to get to know them, right?

Adam Moonlit: Of course.

Trickster: We'll deal with them later.

Eve and Trickster laid the twins down on a nearby couch.

Patissier Gretel: What are you going to do to us?

Eve Moonlit: Oh, nothing much...

She dragged Gretel and Hansel upstairs to their bedroom.

Eve Moonlit: Do you remember this room?

Patissier Hansel: I do. Our 'father' tortured me in here.

Patissier Gretel: You kept all of our toys?

Eve Moonlit: I sure did. See? I'm not a bad mother.

Patissier Hansel: But you killed our real mother!

Patissier Gretel: Yeah!

Eve Moonlit: That's enough from your mouth, Gretel!

Without warning, she stabbed Gretel in the chest. Gretel screamed in pain.
