Opening Up (6)

When Annabelle was presented with droves of information, accompanied by her brother offering occasional explanations here and there, she couldn't help but feel her head throb, as the sheer volume of details was overwhelming.

She also had thought the ancient families and the mysterious "essence" were already as far as things would go, but now it turned out there were also people from beyond this world involved.

She shared the same concern as her brother, that, in the long term, those individuals from outside their world posed the greatest threat. However, she found some relief in knowing that, for the time being, they didn't need to worry about them.

As she then went through the vast amount of information and explanations, she couldn't help but find two points that bothered her the most, aside from securing their safety; Eva and the fight with the assassin.
