By now, Shard and Priest Augustus had a rough understanding of the basic traits of the Relic painting.
The model house depicted in the painting would be consistent with the real building, and when someone inside the house directly touched the painting, a puppet corresponding to that person would appear within the painting.
The puppet possessed its own innate intelligence and would actively evade the murderer within the model house. The movement of the puppet depended on the real person's location. If the real person was inside the house, the puppet could only move within the corresponding rooms in the building in the painting; if the real person was not inside the house, the puppet's movements were likely random.
