"Have you heard? Silvia seems to have caught some strange illness. She's locked herself in her room for a whole week already, and she might even miss the adult ceremony."
"I've also heard about this. It seems she can no longer speak and can only communicate by writing."
"It's more than that. I heard from the servants in the mansion that her hair and eye color are changing, turning pale. It could be some sort of curse."
"Curse? I'd say it's retribution—the retribution of the tens of thousands of wronged souls she has harmed!"
"If she were to die completely cursed, that would indeed be the best outcome for everyone!"
"As for her not attending the adult ceremony, well, that might be a blessing. After all, it's the family's annual grand event. If she were to show up, she'd just dampen everyone's spirits."
