I liked this character, it would have been great to see her take over the orphanage and talk to her after the old woman is dead.

However, even when she doesn't even witness the murder (she was sleeping in her room, and the old woman was sleeping in hers), her reaction to you after that, seemingly without end, is not just that she's afraid of you, but that she thinks you're attacking her, since she's running around in defensive mode saying that she "cannot best you!"

If this is the designed outcome, it just strikes me as odd. Especially since the children like you and pvssyr at you endlessly. But Constance is running around shrieking like a maniac, when she didn't even see anything.

A disappointing outcome.

And after telling you he's lonely and can't wait to go back to the orphanage to see his friends, when the quest completes, the boy just stays at his house standing by the ritual circle?

Disappointing again.
