Amy & Inkscape: Regina’s Parents: What are your names? How do you feel about your daughter Ava? Did you get to rex after the events of the story? Finally, now that there’s peace, did your prophetic powers weaken in any way?

  Lucrezia Sheridan: It is odd is it not how long we can pass through our lives or a very long tale without ever mentioning our names. It is almost as if we matter only in the context of our lovely daughters… or perhaps it is because I had sworn not to use my dear husband’s name many years previously until we could finally find a way to save our daughter and separate from one another

  Cesare Sheridan: In any case, our names are Lucrezia and Cesare. My mother was nearly as ambitious as my father. I am not sure why my wife suffered simirly from my uncle, but she probably deserved it.

  Lucrezia: As for our daughter Ava…

  Cesare: There is both so much and so little we can say about her. There are too few words and too many feelings.

  Lucrezia: She was only fifteen when she died.

  Cesare: She…

  Lucrezia: She was fifteen.

  Cesare: She was a miracle… and no miracle comes without cost. When she was born, I knew I could never love anyone as much as I loved her…

  Lucrezia: ...until we saw her sister. Neither of us knew how to be parents but…

  Cesare: We wanted the world for both our children. Ava deserved to do everything she never could before my blood-be-damned father murdered her. She deserved to bance ledgers and books outside the Sheridan manor –

  Lucrezia: And to ride a horse to somewhere far from our family, to have the power that comes from being free.

  Cesare: We think she found that somehow. I know it seems like cold comfort but…

  Lucrezia: Regina still has… difficulties speaking with us, but I have seen those ducks. Ava always was so close to ducks…

  Cesare: We hope Ava found what she was seeking. We hope she was… happy in the end.

  Lucrezia: When that Old Man who murdered her died, I wondered if it had really been that easy? Should we not have done that all along?

  Cesare: It took me showing you all the ledgers to prove that we could not have saved them without whatever Ava had done. So we did the only thing that we could to honor both our brave daughters.

  Lucrezia: The Sheridans only think the ashes of That Man are in the grave.

  Cesare: They never realized that the beautiful public urinal we created in his name was a literal memorial.

  Lucrezia: We may not work well together as husband and wife or as normal parents but…

  Cesare: We are still Sheridans.

  Lucrezia: Nobody takes revenge like a pair of cousins…

  Cesare: …who can see every possible future to make you the most miserable that you can be.
