Doll mentally backpedaled from the revelation, so much so that she shot up from her excessively laid back position and sat upright on the couch.
"I.. Did!?".
"I saw it.". Yeva confirmed with a sigh as she felt relief wash over her, the weight of knowing that who had ruined her happiest years of her life was now gone. Had been gone for the last two weeks almost, but telling her daughter sealed the deal and now whe world almost looked physically brighter to her. A small smile teasing her lips while she looked up at the roof for a second and reminisced, all that mental fog, all those restless nights now felt... worthwhile? She couldn't tell.
Doll meanwhile was stunned, her mind racing light speed as her reality reordered itself and all the puzzle pieces she had been bashing together in her head now slotted together in a completely different picture then what she had been expecting. Instead of her suspicion towards J or Rebecca of being the parent killer due to their capability to take their life controlling job seriously compared to the admittedly convincible N being correct. It had been V, the lazy self centred one who she had almost died to more then any of the others. It had been V, Doll took a second to recall that night when she had finally and unwittingly put the stake to the demon and exorcised it from the physical realm. The wash of heat from her revived from being incinerated by the destruction of her dad's one remaining work, if she had been of a clearer mind she would of spotted the ouroboros like irony to that situation. Right now however only one thing was clear on her mind, not only had she won but she had won twice technically and that showed on her face.
"Come on, Let it out, I'm here...". Yeva tried to comfort as she took to waiting patiently for the girl to do whatever she needed to, the mother somewhat misunderstanding the situation. A few seconds passed and Doll took a rushed breath, then another and before long she had calmed her nerves and
"Uh, well.". Doll mentally blanked, one hand finding itself resting atop the scrapbook and the other holding her mothers arm.
"I kind, of did already i think...". Doll stated, her quick burst of victorious euphoria quickly settled into a more manageable feeling of lightness. The girl quickly quelling her growing smile from becoming to wide and noticeable.
"Oh.. you sure?". Yeva questioned as she wholeheartedly listened to what Doll had to say and noted the smile. As much as she felt tiredness pulling her towards yet another restless attempt at sleep Yeva would have to lie to herself yet again to claim that she wasn't intrigued by the mini adventure her daughter had whisked off on. Disappearing in the night, almost dying to a murder drone, sacrificing herself to save her lacklustre performing mother, killing a murder drone and saving the colony all while befriending another and to finish it off she then reappeared at her doorstop the next night. There was probably a huge amount of detail she was missing to fill out the blanks between those events and it honestly felt like it could compare to her own older adventures. Hopefully not on second thought, those ones would of left the younger girl like her mother. Nearly alone and barely functioning. Of course she didn't say anything.
"Asides, from and almost being fried alive and the fact that Rebecca, the, the weird blue murder drone from the door bit... Again, sorry about that, almost dying in front of you and all.". Doll admitted to her mother, bringing one hand up to readjust her hairband while she did.
"Tch... I'm just glad your safe.". Yeva looked over at Doll again, reminiscing on that event and concluding to herself that this was the best thing she could want. Almost. She wondered what and how Doll had done to be almost melted but she guessed it was something to do with those laser blasters the murder drones had, she had seen them firsthand before enough to know they could in fact melt things.
