Mirai regarded Clay for a brief moment. Then she let her arms drift lazily to her lap. “Fine then. I guess that makes enough sense. As far as I know, the guy Calidi looks like got stabbed a bunch a while back. Those sisters hated his guts or... something. He had a little sister though, and obviously they couldn’t leave her behind. Or maybe he died because they thought they could take care of her better? Either way, it’d be pretty complicated to tell a little girl that you murdered her brother, so they fucked around with her memories a bit. Wrote over whatever there was.”

Mirai’s eyes flicked back to where that deity had been standing earlier. Gone, hm.

“Dunno how they did it, but I do know they didn’t try to erase what was there before. Either they knew they couldn’t or were afraid it would do something bad. The little girl woke up just fine, and the sisters were pretty happy for a while. Even if it didn’t look like she was growing or anything— guess they probably preferred that, considering they don’t age either. Anyway, the sisters kept all the man’s stuff. I’d assume it was to hide evidence, but it didn’t seem like anyone’d cared that the man had died. 10 years at least and I haven’t heard a peep about this ‘Sieg’ guy from anyone. I guess there could’ve been some other reason in that case. To cut this long story a bit shorter, I’ll skip some of the details and say that she found something of his brother’s, all the memory stuff collapsed, and she ran off into the night.”

Mirai stretched out her arms suddenly. “And the end result was me! Oh, and him too I guess.” The theatrics ended with a noncommittal shrug. “You probably wanted to know more about the operations and stuff but I never really paid attention. I’m not the one who remembers undergoing them either. So sorry.”

Chan became relevant again when she lets out a small “Ouch—!”. The goddess had been attempting to sneak closer to Mirai, only to find that a small stone had ruined her chance at stealth. Luckily for her, the only reaction from the woman was a dismissive glance. “Sorry ‘bout that, carry on.”
