Bard, realizing the futility of further secrecy, laid bare the truth.

It was only then that Kenneth and Louisa learned that their beloved daughter had endured hardships in the so-called "triangular zone" long ago, narrowly escaping death before emerging as the renowned Boss.

Tears welled up in their eyes in unison.

"She's been back for so long, never once mentioned it." Louisa wiped away her tears, her voice laden with heartache, "She was just a child when she went to that dreadful place."

If it weren't for a twist of fate that led Bard to ask about her, which in turn led him to tell me, I'd be just as in the dark as you are."

She, too, had only learned of Bella's other identity through Bard.
