Medusa Gorgon Quotes

She says it as the school nurse. Medusa spent the first half of the series inside the DWMA in a white coat, tending the students she was planning to use, and the disguise is the point of the character: a witch who could pass as care. Blasphemy is the right word for what she does to Crona, since the thing she desecrates is the parent's job rather than any god. Her history is the manga's darkest material and the anime keeps enough of it, the locked room, the animals, the child made into a container for a sword. Set against that, the line is a witch describing her vocation in the terms of the institution she is standing inside, and meaning both halves.

Maternal reassurance that is also a death sentence: the series needed one, and this is it. The sentence has the shape of every encouraging thing a parent says; its content is a plan to turn the child into a god of madness by feeding them souls until they stop being a person. The series lets the two registers sit in one line, and it needs to, because Crona's arc is about learning to hear the difference. When Maka later says something in the same tone and means it, Crona has to work out from experience that reassurance can be sincere, which is a thing most people never have to learn. Medusa taught the lesson by being the counter-example.
