"Adelaide, you don't need to do this."

"No, I dont. And I'm not going to try and convince you further, Jorge.  But a great deal of what I am going to tell you is something I believe you are at least owed."

"As you are aware, Thomas has been working towards a specific type of monsterization reversal process. You are also aware that the process he has so far described requires a certain degree of knowledge about Orichalcum, which does not come from this world.  I have a great degree of interest in this process, for it may be able to affect me directly."

"You see, about the time that you were just making your way into this world, I was being excommunicated from the Faction. Such is rare, extremely rare, mind you.  So rare, I was only ever the third to have done it.  When I was excommunicated, my punishment was so severe, no Mamono in their right minds would have done the same.  That was how deeply I believed in the idea of Whitemarch..."

"Adelaide, don't..."

She holds up her hand. "I was forced to undergo a ritual so degrading, so painful, even by Demon standards, that I understood why so few had attempted it. And at its end, I was forced to sign a contract of my own, written by my own cousin."

She pauses. Her face remains unemotional, but the words have to force themselves past her lips. "I cannot feel pleasure with my one true beloved, nor bear a child. Not ever."
