In the past, this mangaka has got a story all dressed-up but taken it nowhere. So, while the elements are in place for a confrontation between the regular townfolk and the allies of the monster girl, that might not happen at all.
@P0ck— No one proposed that the unconscious child should reason with a frenzied mob. The question is one of subsequent years of monkey-fucking. Of not saying to individual townfolk over time, “Look, this is what really happened.” Of not saying “Mom, I'm 19 years old, and this is the last goddamn'd conversation that we'll ever have if you don't fucking listen.”
well then, this just proves that the girl she saved when she was a little girl is either lily's mom or someone related, although I am rather leaning towards it being her mother
I'm guessing the first monster that 'attacked' the village was young Heath when she 'kidnapped' the first child, this village probably makes enemies for sport. They probably don't even know what kidnapping is for that matter.
