Emilia does avert her gaze, an instinct driven by how disquieted she remains from her experience with the mermaid. How close she was to walking the plank. Draws her eyes up toward the moon instead, briefly. Was it even true that she was a true daughter of the moon? Or was that another lie Nonna fed her? )
My friend Claudia —
( The only one she'd ever had, really, prior to Allison befriending her. )
She was entrusted with the task of preparing the bodies of the deceased, back in the island we grew up in. Our version of death rites. She never encountered a ghost, I don't think, though she loved to tell tales when we were younger.
( Share stories of how the mummies came to be. It would make Emilia squirm, and Vittoria — it's hard to think of it now, but Vittoria would always lean forward with a hungry gleam in her eye. Demanding to know more. )
