The lack of an actual response from Primus is totally understandable, as it was him I had gained much needed assistance from for the completion of Maria. He had stated all he had to say about Maria about the time I published her, hence his almost silence. I'm not one for the idea of obligatory comments, so it is perfectly fine, though a lack of response from Empty leaves a bit to be desired.

As for the image, I'm sorry if it has bothered you, but my intentions were to reflect the two persona Maria has, as the Doll is, in essence, an extension of Maria's being. It may not be made obvious in the game, much less this blog post, but the Doll was created in Maria's image, and the two share a metaphysical connection.
