"Freedom?" Su Enxi said in a low voice.
"Can you imagine what this girl's past life was like?" Shitoku Mai asked. "Every gaze turned toward her was like looking at some alien creature or a monster. The restless bloodline churning inside her body was no different from a bomb waiting to be detonated at any second. All she could do every day was face the exact same faces, living under constant surveillance. Even though she was treated as nothing more than some kind of experimental specimen, she could only accept it in silence. Everything in her field of vision was forever flooded with a monotonous white, accompanied only by that unchanging room and a house full of mute dolls."
"An endless life like this would drive even someone like me, a ninja, to despair and sorrow, let alone any normal girl," Shitoku Mai remarked with a sigh. "For the Uesugi Family Patriarch, a caged bird, freedom is the most precious thing of all, and the thing she needs the most. That is also why this girl has always harbored such a small, ordinary wish: to see the world with her own eyes. To a normal person, this wish is completely mundane, but to this girl, it is more extravagant than gold."
