Yes, that is her. [She manages a smile that's more wistful than sad.] I have not been entirely honest with you about why she was so important to me.
There was an accident ten years ago that caused a great many supernatural problems including a very powerful Shadow, the Death arcana. [She flips to another image, indicating the huge black figure hanging in the sky.] I was created to destroy it, but I could not fully defeat it alone. I shattered it into twelve powerful Shadows and contained Death by sealing it inside a child I found nearby. She was the only living thing to have survived our fight, and therefore my only option. I was too badly damaged to continue and spent the next ten years in shut down mode in a lab until she and her friends took a trip near my location. My memory had been damaged as well and I did not know what I had done. I simply woke up and knew there was someone nearby I needed to find. I never knew why she was so important to me, just that I needed to be near her. I only remembered too late, when we inadvertently defeated the twelve Shadows and strengthend Death enough for it to emerge again. I was obsessed with her because I knew it was inside and our business was unfinished. She would not have had the knowledge to defeat it if I hadn't done what I did, but she might also have lived, or there might have been another way. That thought bothered me for some time after what happened.
