[The Witch of Misfortune can be easily found wandering around, mostly in the Master Bedroom. Though seems she'll easily stop whatever she's doing and chat with you, at least...]

[She's around! She seems much more cheerful than she was yesterday, too - actually coming out of her room and smiling at him when they cross paths.]

Syaoran-kun! How are you?

[excavated]

[ That's a bit of surprise, but he seems to just gasp a little bit because of it. He doesn't really expect this, really. . . ] Ah, well-- alright, I suppose. I was actually looking for you, since I wanted to ask a few things, out of curiosity.

[lutea]

Of course, of course! Go ahead and ask, won't you?

[...She seems remarkably chipper today, actually.]

[excavated]

About the wish... you said that you would grant it to the person if they successfully killed someone. Not to mention that they're probably still alive now. Because of that part, do they automatically get their wish granted, regardless if they survive or not? [ After all, while reviving from the dead may not be a thing, ghosts, however, are. ]

[lutea]

Oh, you're worried about that, hm?

Not to worry, Syaoran-kun.Regardless of if they die or not, their wish will be granted at the game's end.

It's just that simple, you see?

[excavated]

Just a little. Since people's wishes are important, after all.

[lutea]

Oh, I'm well aware. ...Even if the veneer of being Yuuko is wearing thin in places.

[Something...dangerous flashes in her eyes.]

[excavated]

. . . [ Syaoran himself is quiet for a moment as his eyes narrow back at her. So she's actually going to admit it outright to him? ] Is that so? You should have seen this coming when you picked up that mantle.

[lutea]

Now, now. Don't start talking like that, Tsubasa.

[...No honorifics? She just smiles at him, though it's a fake smile plastered on her face, easily removable.]

I believe that soon, I won't have any reason to pretend.

[excavated]

[ It's only a single word that gets to him, but it's enough to get him to tense up, words caught up in his throat. But eventually, he speaks, quiet: ] . . . Why do you say that?

[lutea]

Oh, no reason. Just a feeling I get, you know?

But...let me warn you, Tsubasa. If I reveal who I really am, all of you will regret it.

[excavated]

[ A feeling, huh... is this something that's fated, too? ] We don't know that for certain unless it happens. And I don't regret a choice that I make. I only regret the choices I didn't make. If you plan on revealing yourself as who you really are... Then I'd rather learn about who that person is. Not this "mask" of Yuuko-san that you wear.

[lutea]

Even if they are a terrible, cruel Witch?

[She's laughing, now.]

A bold statement to make, Tsubasa. Bold, and naive.

[excavated]

I'd rather learn the truth than hide behind lies. And I can't say that I'm a good person, either. If you truly are are terrible, cruel Witch... I want to know your story. Regardless if that is naive of me.

[lutea]

....Hm.

Then I will tell you what I told another.

One day, your kindness will be the death of you.

[Standing, she turns her back to Syaoran.]

...Leave me, now. I'm tired of talking.

[excavated]

...

[ He hears those words and he has a feeling he knows who she said that to. But she says to leave and he easily complies with a polite bow and turns on his heel to do so. ]
