[Removing the white linen sheet, the group finds a wooden bassinet.
Inside, there is a sleeping baby swaddled in blue cloth. It stirs awake when Adolphe lifts the sheet, blinking blearily up at the group and revealing a pair of icy blue eyes on otherwise perfectly Japanese features. This particular shade of blue will strike them as familiar, though perhaps more so to Taair and Richie.
But now they have another problem to contend with, and I don't mean the fact that the crackling of the fire sounds way closer than it did before.
With the memories of their AU lives at their disposal, they will understand that this child is a half-breed. Someone who is considered monstrous. Less than human. The existence of such a being is heavily frowned upon by their society. With the child's light colored eyes, empty, it would look like a demon to the everyday citizen. Killing it would be a mercy.
And with this realization, one thing becomes clear:
This child is the demon they were hired to kill. And its mother is likely the same woman they struck down earlier, her cooling corpse laying on the stairs.
And y'all accused me of lying about the MILF. Wow.]
