Every family has secrets, there is no lie in that. Likewise, I never knew of the horrid secrets my family hid in the cellar. I always knew, ever since Nui and I were very young, that the cellar was something to be avoided. We were conditioned as such and we never knew why we had to avoid the cellar. Of course, coincidentally, my father left and never returned and our mother became more distant than what she was before.

Rei often told me that cellar held a secret. Naturally, Nui and I were curious, however, the secretary warned us that Mother (to whom we reffered to as the Mistress) would beat us. No one knows the Mistress as much as she does and had the scars to match any sort of beating. Of course, like us, Rei hadn't too much of a clue as to what the secret was but she feared it. Why was something neither us could explain or comprehend but we knew it had to be instinctive. The Mistress ruled her house with an iron fist and Rei made it clear that no one was to ask the cellar.
