You know it's a statement when a 500 year old soul possession necromancer who wore corpses as part of his strategy is a better father figure to the nine year old he possessed then the woman said nine year old originally trusted.
Does make me wonder,though,had she not killed her,and simply dumped her off at an orphanage,would she grow up talking to Hugo the whole time,never inheriting his powers?,would he tell her how to gain said powers?,an interesting alternate timeline for sure.
