Welcome.
I’ve been here…
since always, and forever.
I wait for you.
I welcome you.
I instruct you.
I am here…
for you.
To teach you.
Anticipation. Fear.
Pleasure.
Rage. Boredom.
Desire. Thievery.
Power.
Jealousy.
The last thing I will teach you…
is to lack.
I want to put broken shards of glass in Isolda’s shoes.
I stole twelve eggs and ate them all.
I’d like to wear your gold collar, just for a little while.
I want to kill them all. I want to stay here alone with you.
Last night I saw Sofia trying to climb the tree to jump over the wall.
I waited until Clémence fell asleep, and then I touched her knee.
I must confess to you that your life cycles will end very soon.
All of you, you don’t know what you are.
I will reveal it to you now.
You are women.
I am your origin,
you are my replicas.
Like all of you, like you,
I was once a woman.
This infinite cycle must end.
I ask you to relieve me from my destiny.
Today is your fourth and final day.
Your life cycle ends tonight.
I’ve chosen you. You are the strongest among them.
I want you to become immortal and take my place.
This is your final test.
You lucky little bitch.
Welcome.
