“You came out onto the courtyard when an old farmer brought me to the school,” Clara said.
She remembered how furious Mother Superior was when Father Michael took an interest in her. The school was cloistered, even the chapel was located off the grounds to further reduce the chance of men being near their residences.
“What if I told you that was Ada?” Father Michael asked.
“For killing the ghoul?” Clara confirmed.
That truth was revealed to her months ago when she encountered her sister, Ada, at The Grand. Her sister was too old to get the training opportunity Clara got, which was later exploited by Drusilla, twisting her sister until there was nothing left of the kind soul she knew.
“So, you do—(remember)” Father Michael said.
“That cloistered school did not take students her age,” Clara interrupted. “She was old enough to start her training at The Tower.”
