if Madame Pualis is really demoness.maybe your change to female to get closer to Primordial Demoness but remember you are originally male is demoness pathway code.that why several demoness beyonder keep original male photo of herself to remind what her really is.

well..the question is this first time that it loop back? maybe this village is in this loop for long time until Fors arrives.she try to break the loop and find out Lumian is the key so she guide him to obtain a beyonder power.that why she told him information and law about beyonder.

hmm.. I don't think she just gave information free. Fors came to this village in the time of some sus festival. a group of investigator that maybe held some sealed artifact a boy that can travel to misty place in dream and had a sus tatto appear. everything is very sus.

puppet?
