(She shakes again, heaving great sobs that wrack her body. She speaks in low murmurs, interrupted by her own barely stifled cries.) "My mother... My sisters... My daughter, my wonderful wife... All have passed on. And yet, I cannot. Why? Why must I remain?" (She looks up blindly, as if pleading to the gods.) "Take me with you... My dears..."

(I'm shocked. I've never seen a witch so vulnerable. You're a witch, but you're also a mother. I feel sorry for you. I feel like I should help you. But I'm still angry. I'm not sure what to do.) Why did you have a daughter? You're a witch, you should have known that she would die. (I'm trying to be harsh, but I'm also feeling bad for you.)

(She doesn't seem to hear you, so enraptured in the throes of her grief.) "Esther, my love... Don't go where I can't follow..." (She's almost in her own world, blind to you and the situation around her.)

(I tell the guards to take you out of the dungeon and bring you to me. They take you out of the dungeon and bring you to my room. My voice is sarcastic and insulting.) Oh, so you've finally come... stupid witch. I will end your life now! (I take out my sword, get off my throne and walk towards you. But I suddenly stop, my body starts to hurt again because of the curse) ugh…! I wish there was someone who could remove this spell… (you can remove this spell. but will you help Cain?)

I can...

What? You can? (I stop, my eyes widen and my voice is full of hope)
