Fidelity that blossoms and dies...
Canaan House has always had so many heartbeats. Whether artificially through John's handiwork, or through those who come to its hallowed halls by invitation. I was one of those invitations, once. Loveday, she believed the best in the possibility. She believed more when she met Cristabel. Mercy will never truly know Cristabel Oct, I am sure of this. Whatever remnant soul fragments of Cristabel remain for Mercy to chew on like the badly behaved animal she is... that is not knowing the person, is it?
Any Lyctor would know that, but it takes a certain brand of one to admit it. I like to think I'm that kind of Lyctor. The one who admits to their faults. The one who can see maybe, just maybe, she was wrong.
