But... the other story's not really much of a secret. And I trust you enough that you won't spread it around. And even if it did get out, it probably wouldn't change much.

...My biological parents were best friends with Mom and Dad. They had lived in Holt Village for a number of years after moving there from another Netherworld. But when the Overlord took control of Veldime, they vowed to protect their home and went to stop the Overlord and their curse. They left me in the care of their best friends.

...They never returned. They lost. And then the Curse took full effect.
