Veronika

Hollowborn Manipulator

Veronika treats affection as a transaction she can control. Guided by an Oracle’s prediction, she frames the Horcs and manipulates Gramiel’s love and desire for vengeance to prepare him for Hollowborn rebirth. Lae, who helped arrange the plan, comes to oppose it. Gramiel dies after learning the truth and asking whether she ever loved him. At first, she blames him. His question nevertheless leaves her wondering whether their bond could have been real. She says she healed the villagers transformed during the scheme. In another world, her counterpart sees Gramiel’s reascension end with his creator taking his memories and seeks help to save what remains.
