isaac (on the right): Sometimes I don't understand if it's a good thing that I met you.

eugene (on the left): What do you mean? Did I do something?

i: Yes. You showed me the world. Through conversations with me, through your books...

e: Ha-ha, am I really such a bad teacher?

i: On the contrary. The most patient and skillful of all. It's just that this knowledge... there's so much of it. And none of it satisfies my curiosity. For example, you were telling me about the solar system - I immediately wanted to know about the Milky Way, and the galaxy, and what was... before everything. It's like I'm drinking, but I still feel thirsty. It's so strange. Is it always like this?

e: Many ancient philosophers said that knowledge is infinite, and truth is inexhaustible. Learning anything is a constant search, and I think I agree. You just came to these conclusions yourself. Do you regret becoming smarter? Freer?

i: I don't regret it... rather, I'm coming to terms with the consequences of it. Sometimes I think it was easier when I knew nothing. I woke up, stretched, drank a disgusting herbal infusion, experienced an audience with Ahriman, returned to the cell, and passed out again. A painful, but understandable constancy. And here... so many possibilities. I can do so much now that the nightmare is over and the pain is gone. And it scares me... I don't know what to do with myself. Knowledge is splitting my head, and my muscles are aching - I just want to do something.

e: That's good. "Cogito, ergo sum," as Descartes said. Not that ancient, but also a philosopher.

i: I think... therefore I exist?

e: Yes. But I would say this: I think, therefore I live. You existed when you were in Lakum. And now you see the sun in the morning, read books, study, walk.

i: Well, yes. Well, that's all good... nice.

e: Well, there you go! Be glad you feel difficulties sometimes. They can't compare to what you've experienced—they're human, ordinary—but they clearly indicate that you haven't reached your limit. And you have room to grow as a free person.

i: And what if... I never reach it. The limit. I definitely won't live long enough to learn everything. So what, should I suffer from my ignorance until I die?

e: Isaac. By your logic, Ahriman should have understood the mysteries of the creation of the universe, but in fact, he didn't even know the rules of basic respect.

i: And do you think I know?

e: Of course. You learn quickly!

i: I see...

i: ....

i: Forgive me.

e: For what?

i: For saying, "Is it good that I met you?" I always feel good and very interested with you. And I blurted that out... stupidly.

e: Isaac... everything's fine. I understand you don't mean it out of malice.

i: No, of course not. I can't feel it for you, molecularly speaking.

e: Is that so? Then what happened the first time we met, huh?

i: I won't. Thank you, Zhenya. And tell me more about these... philosophers.

i: It was fear! I didn't know then how good and kind you were...

e: Oh, come on...

i: And handsome. The best.

e: Calm down, you sly one! I'm blushing.

u: Cute...

e: Come here already! Go to sleep. And don't worry anymore...

e: How insatiable. I'll tell you tomorrow. For now... good night.

Iris van Zieks, the darling heir of the van Zieks family.

Raised from birth by her notorious uncle after the untimely deaths of her parents, her background is mired in tragedy and intrigue. For creative outlets, she enjoys sewing, crafting specialty teas, and working on her magnum opus: a mystery series called “The Reaper of the Bailey”, which follows her uncle as he investigates the vindictive spectre that looms over their family. She publishes this series under a pen name: Eugene Mors.

She is exceptionally talented and clever for her age, if a bit morbid. Unlike her uncle, she is very outgoing and often forms friendships with people much older than her, like Maria Gorey. Mindful of the dangers of her high status and relation to "the Reaper", she carries a dagger for self-defence.

My ko-fi. My commissions are open, and I post sneak peeks of projects like this for supporters.

Design Details: 

I’ve been mentally working on this since I got into the games. I was baffled when I found it wasn't a more commonly explored what-if. It started with the simple prompt: Iris, but instead of Steampunk Lolita, make her Gothic Lolita. Later on, I sat down and circled all the elements of her design that were Sholmes-influenced and gathered van Zieks design elements to replace them. Instead of her four-petaled flower and heart motifs (though I snuck in hints to those), she has a bat motif and the van Zieks' family symbols.

A bit ago, I drafted different iterations of her outfits and posted polls on my ko-fi. For the base, I was leaning towards a more canon-like design with short puffy white sleeves and dark gloves, but people liked the long purple sleeves enough that I was convinced. She looks more similar to her uncle this way.

Her hair is a discarded style I found in her concept art, and her clothes are an amalgam of numerous fashion references mixed with van Zieks’ signature style. I’ve replaced her green backpack with a plum carpet bag that once belonged to her mother, hence the Baskerville crest. And instead of a grenade launcher of her own invention, I had her uncle gift her a dagger.
