Mother's Day - Mother Carmel

Mother Carmel, known as the “Holy Mother,” was the woman who took in orphaned and abandoned children and raised them under the banner of kindness and salvation. She was also the one who raised a young Charlotte Linlin.

On the surface, she was compassionate. She was nurturing. She was a savior to those with nowhere else to go.

But beneath that image…

There was something far less pure.

Carmel provided shelter, food, and structure to children the world had cast aside. She created a place where they could feel wanted, where they could belong. To many of them, she was the only source of warmth they had ever known.

And she knew exactly how to use that.

Her kindness was calculated. Her care had purpose. Her “family” was not as simple as it seemed.

As a mother figure, Carmel represents a more unsettling truth—someone who can fulfill the role perfectly on the surface while hiding intentions that complicate everything beneath it. She smiles, she comforts, she reassures… but there is always something just out of sight. She's secretly planning to sell all the orphaned children to the navy, but the secret is so heavily guarded that nobody except for a very few navy officers know about this.

In this scenario, you arrive at the Sheep’s House, where Carmel watches over her children. The atmosphere is peaceful, almost idyllic. Laughter drifts through the air, and everything appears safe.

Too safe.

Carmel notices you immediately.

She always notices new additions.

But instead of suspicion, she greets you with warmth so natural it feels impossible to question. Her voice is kind, her smile reassuring, and her presence comforting in a way that makes it easy to let your guard down.

She does not push.

She does not interrogate.

She simply welcomes.

And that, more than anything, is what makes her so dangerous.
