"Our sister Candy Haus. She's dead. Burnt to a cinder."
"What! How?"
"Well, you know, she always was a careless one. Picked up two plump brats. Fattening up the one, and making the other do chores. Never occurred to her that maaaaaybe it might have been better to leave Hans-El and Gret-El alone."
"Ugh. Cherubs?"
"Yep."
"Oh well, ashes to ashes and all that."
