"Yes, anyways, his wife did this to us; she wanted to listen to her husband's wishes and put us away." Blanche continued.

"That's silly!" Blanche said. "Homunculus cannot feel, let alone know what 'fear' is."

"You never know, Blanche..." Sylvia bowed her head, signing she was going to rest. "Stranger things have happened, like us."
