Backstory
Elizabeth first appears lying beneath a great tree on the Hill of Edenus, with no memory of who she is. Lusion walks her home, and from there she follows what she is told: a school life at Arcus Academy, a mother, a little brother whose face she cannot see, and a boyfriend she does not remember having. Her past returns only in fragments: a first date with Botas, a childhood letter and bracelet from Lusion, and a dark room that she has hidden even from herself. Marks on her arms suggest those memories are not as harmless as they seem █████ ████ █████.
Trivia
Her diary entries are addressed to “Lizza,” the nickname Botas uses. Every date with Lusion feels strangely nostalgic, “exactly the same way” as before.
