Time had looped back to the "First Night."
On that first night, when Catherine Roman, acting as a nursemaid, recognized her daughter, the hidden identity of an actress, though not overt, still constituted a violation of the rules of the performance and was captured by William's Evil Sun's Eye.
This caused the "Danger Level" to increase, exceeding the average of the other performers.
Just as the mother and daughter returned to their room and opened the door,
they discovered an eerie woman with black hair standing in the corner of the room, holding a metal spoon that appeared utterly ordinary.
An ordinary-looking woman posed an instinctual threat to Catherine's mother, an Ancestor Primordial Body, causing her to unconsciously secrete seawater from her pores to form a protective barrier.
She gestured for her daughter to leave the room temporarily, deciding to confront this so-called threat herself.
