character

Jill

A ten-year-old Dutch child briefly controls Lucia's body, asks for her mother, and convinces Florin that real children are trapped inside the crawler.

Story so far

Florin approaches the sobbing Lucia and discovers a frightened personality unlike the aggressive street child he knows. The girl throws herself into his arms and asks for her mother with a different accent.

In private communication, Jill tells Florin she is ten, Dutch, and knows specific information about the prime minister of the Netherlands that an Ecuadorian street child could not plausibly fake. She says multiple children share the body and connects their condition to Alexandro and a controlling dog.

The contact ends abruptly when another personality takes over, shoves Florin away, and resumes Lucia's threats.

Appearance

A frightened ten-year-old Dutch consciousness expressed through Lucia Mar's adult female form.

Role

Jill proves Lucia's apparent instability is a multi-child captivity rather than ordinary mood change.

Relationships

Lucia Mar — She is one of several children inhabiting or controlling Lucia's body.
Florin — She trusts him enough to reveal her identity and ask for help.
Alexandro — Her captivity is connected to him.
The Dog — It can remotely control the shared body in short bursts.
