Background / History

Lemuen first meets Su Rui while praying at Laterano Monastery. Sensing him at the threshold of her consciousness, she welcomes the lost consciousness-body into her garden of white roses and introduces herself as the nun who watches over the place. 444

Over the following ten years, Su Rui becomes her most faithful listener in the garden of consciousness. During this period, Lemuen rises from a young nun to a cardinal, continues handling matters such as Holy City defense disputes, and relies on a wheelchair due to an old wound. 444

When Su Rui finally materializes physically, Lemuen has already prepared clothes based on his consciousness-body data and helps him adapt to physical life. She also allows him to assist with her administrative work, beginning the transition of their long mental companionship into a life together in Laterano. 444 445

Appearance

Lemuen is a Sankta woman with lake-blue eyes and a softly glowing halo. Her usual presentation combines religious dignity with the practical needs of a Laterano operative. 444 463

• Often wears a pure white nun's habit while at Laterano Monastery. 444
• Uses a wheelchair because of a persistent leg injury, though she can stand or walk for short periods. 445 463
• Her halo brightens or flickers with her mood. 444 448
• Changes into a fitted operative outfit and carries her Guardian Gun during emergencies. 463
• Later wears a conservative, light-blue one-piece swimsuit during the Siesta trip. 470 471

Personality

Lemuen is warm, patient, and quietly playful. She welcomes Su Rui without fear when he enters her consciousness, spends years listening to him, and consistently makes space for him to adapt at his own pace. Her teasing is gentle rather than cruel, such as when she records his materialization data or persuades him to try unfamiliar activities. 444 445 446

As a cardinal and operative, she is composed under pressure. She favors dialogue over violence, calmly de-escalates Fiammetta's confrontation with Andoain, and gives Kong Gou practical guidance rather than taking over the Mobile City's security project herself. 458 459 464

Lemuen is also affectionate and protective toward Su Rui. She recognizes the care beneath his aloof behavior, comforts him without forcing him to explain himself, and can become subtly possessive when others show too much interest in him. 455 468 475

Story Role / Major Arcs

Garden of Consciousness and Su Rui's Materialization

Lemuen provides Su Rui with companionship in her consciousness garden for ten years while he restores his body. Once he materializes, she helps him adjust to physical sensations and incorporates him into her daily life at the cardinal's residence. 444 445

Laterano Cardinal Duties

With Su Rui's assistance, Lemuen processes official documents more efficiently and regains time for leisure. She continues balancing state duties with a more personal life, including games, meals, and quiet time with him. 446 447

Border Chapel and Mirror Church

Lemuen travels with Su Rui to a remote chapel, where they assist abandoned children and investigate the missing bishop. Inside the Mirror Church, she uses her halo to help address its interfaces while Su Rui repairs and reinforces its systems. 448 449 451

Mobile City Stabilization

While conducting Laterano's investigation of a Mobile City, Lemuen identifies security flaws exposed by Originium Slug attacks. She guides Kong Gou in forming a Security Force, supports its training and assessment, and prepares the city for continued outside assistance. 455 458 459 461 462

Return to the Holy City

After the Mobile City assignment, Lemuen returns to Laterano with Su Rui and responds professionally to unrest surrounding Andoain's return. Her intervention stops Fiammetta from attacking him in the central plaza. 463 464

Siesta Vacation and Leg Recovery

Lemuen joins Su Rui, Mostima, and Fiammetta on a trip to Siesta. She supports Su Rui through his discomfort and emotional turmoil while retaining her concern for the city's people during unrest. 468 469 471 473

In Siesta, Su Rui secretly uses an unfamiliar power on her injured legs. Lemuen is able to feel them again and manages to raise herself from the sofa, marking the first clear improvement in her long-standing mobility impairment. 478
