After fully merging with Lilith, a part of Anna's essence was permanently altered, and over time, she developed some peculiar habits.
For instance, she developed a preference for dark places... Of course, this was a trait she had adhered to for a long time, but now it had deepened—she preferred to stay underground. If her resting place was an exquisitely decorated coffin, it couldn't be more ideal.
So, when she saw the gift prepared by the tribe's female leader, even though her face betrayed little emotion, a flicker of something in her eyes revealed her current mood.
Anna knew full well that Salam would come looking for her, yet she chose not to leave. When she had left Armenia, it was partly because she had been bound for far too long and yearned to begin a life truly her own.
On the other hand, Anna also hoped to better understand herself during her journey. If she could find a chance to repair the shattered magic mirror, it would be all the better.
And indeed, she succeeded.
