[She takes a deep breath and starts to explain. Or sum up, at least.]
In my world, there was once a spark known simply as 'The Other.' They brought untold death and destruction down on Europa, wiped out entire towns and enslaved thousands of people. I won't bore you with the gritty details of the war or the full list of atrocities. The important thing is that the Other is dangerous. Very dangerous.
[This is important. She has to get this across now because she knows how Lucrezia is. She's very good at manipulating people, telling them what they want to hear, getting them to respect her.... or underestimate her, as it suits her purposes.]
[She hesitates and then sighs. There's no non-awkward way to say this.]
The Other also developed an unusual way to cheat death. And increase her own influence at the same time. By copying her mind into other people. Of course this took years to develop, and wasn't even successful until years after her 'defeat.'
[She could almost laugh. People actually thought that the Other war was over. For years they believed that.]
Countless girls were sacrificed by her minions, trying to recreate her. But they couldn't get it right. Not until they found her daughter. Me...
The locket I wear keeps her in check, but..... it's not really solving anything. I need to get her out of my head. And this could be the first step. But this kind of experiment is too dangerous to attempt on my own.
[She cannot risk unleashing Lucrezia Mongfish on Hinoto-Ri.]
Good. At least we're already thinking along the same lines. I assume you also have a way for me to quickly and efficiently disable you should the primary restraints fail?
[This is where Fumi gets a little intense and creepy sometimes. She's not above thinking this way even about her friends when dangerous science is involved.]

I see. And this relates to the experiment you're proposing in what way, exactly?

Well, hopefully. I haven't done any tests yet, so I don't know if it will work.

There's about a dozen things that could go wrong.

[Trying to be confident here. Taking on her mother has never been easy.]
I'll get everything ready. The castle knows whats going on too, so hopefully it'll help.
