Yes, that's correct, we don't really know. For all the textual evidence we have, Meji's mum could be totally schizoprhenic, and "Nanoa" is the name she gives the voice that fills the delusional role of servant (and that tells her to start fires). Mum is not so much miffed that she has to open the door herself as she is about the complete lack of respect the doorknob shows her when she reaches out to grasp it (a gentleman rises to great a lady, naturally).


I'd like to recommend a product to you, of great use in situations like this.

Occam's Razor.

Since we're handing out useful items; I'd like to present to you the infamous Sarcasm Detector[TM].

Also, McWrinkley-Hag does sound like she's been through this before, which is a sign of a rather poor servant (and master). If the grandfather had cared, she would have had a better servant, or two if necessary. So the most obvious reason is that he doesn't care.

I fail to see how poking story logic with a wimpy dagger that costs three bucks and has a whole 1 in infinity squared +1 chance chance of killing low level, non important creatures will do much good when you could have just used the tool set to make your own super doom plot buster spell.

I don't know what kind of illness you suffer from, but it does seem to be in the process of feeding on parts of your brain.

Because it looks like an epic level box cutter.

I was just saying we know roughly the kind of person Meji's mom is and I've seen people who throw a fit if you mess up once regardless of previous history.
