Well, I might as well have a look. [ she opens the box... and pulls out a poster! she unrolls it to reveal... this! i'm sorry for this poster for ants. but it appears to be a campaign poster, with an image of a man in a very large helmet. ]
It is my brother! From when he was a candidate for the throne. For a time, we had these posters all over our village!
[ you cannot see his face at all, it's just his bigass helmet. the name on the poster is "Edeni" with no last name, and it promises religious freedom. ]
[ He bites back a really pessimistic and rude remark that was about to crawl out of his throat, but like. Eupha? She's sweet from what he's seen. She really doesn't deserve that.
I grew up in an orphanage, so... I guess you could say something like that. I helped raise the kids there and now I'm the oldest that's affiliated with the orphanage aside from the caretaker.
[ He frowns a little upon remembering something, but continues. ]
People say that she's overly pessimistic and submissive, but she has a strong will despite everything. She's observant, smart, and incredibly caring. I... wanted to protect her, but it's not my place to. Not anymore.
Mostly that, yeah. I decided to entrust her to someone that I believed would take care of her.
[ But then he wears a complicated expression...
Anyway, he gets out the photo. There's Adolphe, Yves, Lucas, a girl with short blond hair and a woman wearing nun attire. He shows Eupha the photo and points to the girl with the short blond hair. ]
... It doesn't sound like my chain of events line up with Yves's. But if she does end up living through her current predicament, I hope that she'll be happy.

I opened it and it has the photo as it did for the first time that I opened one. It's a little weird.
no subject
Oh? What kind of photo?
The first one I opened had a snowglobe, but the second one had some coal! I thought it might be different every time.
[ she does not sound bothered about the coal. ]
no subject
[ ???????????? ]
That sounds random. What use would you have for coal?
no subject
Sadly, it disappeared before I could make use of it...
[ her coal...... ]
no subject
They just keep disappearing, don't they?
[ He eyes the boxes a little warily. ]
But I haven't seen or heard of anything harmful yet.

Her name is Ceres.

Does this mean she's getting married?

[ He looks at Eupha like. What. What did you say. ]
no subject
... is that not what that means?

[ For a second, he thought he was having a heart attack. ]
Yeah. I entrusted her to Yves.
[ He has an expression that seems to imply it's complicated right now, but it's really not. ]
