Hyur. [She tests the word again on her tongue. Okay.] I think I like that word better. It sounds more interesting. [NEAT. They are called something different in another place; then again, she isn't exactly sure what makes her her and Hyur. Not yet anyway.]

My mother was Empress, but... [She looks ahead without any real sort of emotion. Indifference. Which may be more startling than sorrow. There's a few distant slam of doors before she finishes.] She died.

So now I'm Empress. There were some people who wanted to take over, so they tried to say Corvo killed her, but he didn't. I was there. Then there were some people who said they were trying to help Corvo, but they lied. They just wanted to take over, too. [Recounting the mess of Dunwall, she sounds utterly done with people, honestly.]

And now I'm here. I've never seen a place like this before.
