Kuroka was a character I never understood to begin with. While one could attribute her normal attitude to years of living as a 'stray Devil',

I knew that this facade had to be something of an illusion she had built over the span of several years.

Despite how strong and fierce she was both in body, spirit, and mind, the young woman was still someone that cared immensely for her sister.

The series never brought up how the dark-haired Nekoshou felt when her sister was close to being executed, and it didn't even try to make a compelling effort to patch things up between them.

Koneko was way more traumatized than the show had displayed her to be, and thus I wasn't much surprised that there was something more to the older cat-girl that just didn't match with the way she was portrayed in the original timeline.

Too confident, too easy going- one could be those in a normal circumstance… but when those traits were conceived out of an ugly situation like the one that saw Kuroka kill her former Master and jeopardize years of progress? I knew it wasn't meant to last.

She was going to recover. Despite that nervous breakdown, I knew that these were elements that were going to stay as those were defining to Kuroka's character.

She was meant to be cocky, stubborn, and something of a teasing woman… but something was to change after today if she wanted to genuinely repair the burnt bridge she had left with her sister.

Things were different, everything was a tiny bit more serious compared to what I knew and… people were meant to change to adapt to the circumstances.

The only thing I was certain of these uneasy times was that I had to keep an eye out for Koneko. She was already pissed at the development, but she had yet to say anything about it.

She didn't know the truth, she didn't know what really pushed her sister to kill the hand that fed them both.

And that ignorance was going to be painful to handle without creating mistrust between her and me.

You sure know how to put yourself in a lake of drama when you want.

When I want? Since when do I want to be forced to deal with this BS?!

Since you care. I think we had this conversation.

Prick.

"Why is she here?" The silver-haired Nekoshou finally asked about, her eyes turning to me. "Why is she here when she hurt you so much?"

…

"She is going to be evaluated for recruitment."

"She tried to kidnap me," Kunou rebuked quietly. "She is a bad person."

I sighed, scratching her foxy ears as I pondered over the words I had to use to avoid a riot in the living room.

"She intends to backstab those that planned to kidnap you. And that would save lives."

Koneko groaned at this. "Kuroka is not stable. She can't be taken in as a trustworthy agent."

…

"You can't be serious. You believe that-"

"I know things you don't, Koneko. Stuff about what happened the day she left."

…

"How?"

"I dug around the matter. Grigori actually has a dossier about the matter… and let's just say that the Underworld tried to bring that storm under the rug."

"Is she bad?" Ingvild asked. "You didn't say anything about that."

Fair concern, I conceded within the safe walls of my mind, and answering it was going to be a pain in the butt.

"She is… not."

"She is insane!" Koneko remarked sternly. "She killed our family, she tried to kidnap Ku-kohai- and you dare to say she isn't a bad person!"

…

"Yes."

…

…

"WHY!?"

I groaned at the loud exclamation. "Because there is-"

"Something I don't know. And that is? How does that spare her of her crimes?"

I couldn't actually tell her the whole truth without pissing off Kuroka. She might be dealing with the breakdown, but I was quite sure she would murder me if I said anything about it.

Yet, something peculiar happened. And it all started when a certain woman quipped with a quiet tone.

"He can't tell you. I demanded him to not say anything."

Kuroka was walking beside Baraqiel, her frame restrained by several chains with seal marks within their surfaces.

"You- Why are you here?!"

"She is currently a prisoner to Grigori. I've sent a message to Azazel to consider her proposal… and I believe that she will be accepted."

"How- How dare you-"

"Young Koneko, you're asking questions to the wrong people," The Fallen Angel interrupted.

"The one that has all the answers is your sister. But even so, I wouldn't be keen to know the truth if I was you as it is painful and-"

"I deserve to know!"

…

"Yes," Kuroka muttered. "You do deserve the truth."

…

"And?" Koneko pressed on, growing impatient because of the silence from her sister.

"Your mother's name. It was Fujimai."

Both Nekoshous snapped their attention on me and I sighed at the dual combo of surprise and confusion.

"My… My mother?"

"Mama was beautiful," Kuroka started to narrate. "She would always be there to keep watch over us. I was… a pest. I would always cause trouble wherever I went and… you were an adorable baby."

"Why… why is this important?"

"Father was a researcher. He was… diligent. Obsessed," The woman replied with a sigh. "His love for us was different from Mama's.

Mama loved us as her children, while Father saw us as a chance to further his studies."

"The project your father was assigned to was something that stemmed from the rarities among the Underworld's races,"

I spoke up with a tired voice. "The Nekoshous were a rarity to the Nekomatas and that served in developing theories about a new kind of Devil.

A better version of what one could expect from normal ones."

"Father eventually failed to stand up for his duties as a parent," The dark-haired woman added.

"He saw us as candidates and Mama acted against it. She died to end his madness for once and save us from suffering because of it."
