Trust me, I considered doing that more than you'd believe. It was a very tempting notion while writing this one-shot. I once thought about having Lucy become the Alraune instead of it being a separate entity. I thought "Maybe the childhood friend should get absorbed into the flower bud...could be like an change of heart for the MC", but then I realized that I could use her in a future chapter to bring a bit of drama to it. I'd advise that you start paying attention to all the characters (major and minor) in the series because they will all have a part to play at the very end. Another reason that stopped me from letting Lucy be absorbed is because the request specifically asked for an Alraune and I wanted to be strict in following it. If you'd like for me to make a Liliraune one-shot, then please just ask!
