"It's very interesting," Faust said truthfully. "But there's absolutely nothing wrong with your natural hair color... Don't forget that!"
"You see?" Eliza said, kneeling and explaining the gifts. "Lilith's is a doll... and Damien's is a little train..."

"lilith, are you planning to switch your hair color every few minuets now?"
*she smiled and nodded*

"Kids will be kids," Eliza smiled. "You're so lucky, Netsubo." For a moment Faust and Eliza watched the two children with bittersweet expressions.
Faust cleared his throat. "I'll be right back..."

Faust had gone to the kitchen and was drawing himself a glass of water. The children left Eliza, Netsubo, and Mephistophiles alone. The second they were gone, Eliza's beautiful smile collapsed, leaving her looking sad and tired.
"Things have been difficult," she said in a soft voice, so that neither Faust or the children could hear her.

"Terrible... I'm having a hard time coping as it is... three miscarrigaes within two years...! And Johann tries to stay strong for me. But... even though we both try... I'm terrified that the hospital will fire him!"

"His disorder," Eliza said softly. "He's schizophrenic... I made him go see a psychiatrist for it, and he did... but I showed up to one of his 'sessions,' and he was in a room alone, talking to himself." she pressed one of her hands to her mouth. "At the hospital, I match my schedule with his... and if he falls into an episode, I take him somewhere where no one can see... but he's still coming undone."

"He's on medications, and they help, but they make him so frustrated. He can't think straight when he's on them, and so he goes off of them to help patients, and he makes himself worse. He doesn't eat because he's afraid of poison, he doesn't sleep because he's afraid that someone will hurt him or me..." she shook her head. "I knew this was coming. He warned me, every Faust, since the Great one... but it's still so painful. It's as if I'm losing a bit of him every day."

He might... it's completely possible... what would that have to do with it, though?

It's possible... but he was schizophrenic before, remember? It's just more severe, now...
Eliza grabbed a kleenex and buried her face in it. "It's as if he's beyond my help... and I'm such a failure! Every child of his I conceive dies before it's even born! We cry together about them... I don't know what I'll do, if I lose this one..."
