Similar context caught across Hemlock and Nightfall's remarks.

(Zuibun to funuketa tsura wo suru youni natta na <ibara hime>...)
ずいぶん (随分, zuibun) - quite
腑抜け (ふぬけ, funuke) - weak-willed
ツラ (面, tsura) - face, surface
Your face (expression) started to become very weak (weak-willed), Thorn Princess...
• "家族ごっこがすっかり板についたようだ"
(Kazoku gokko ga sutsukari ita nitsuita youda)
家族 (かぞく, kazoku) - family
家族ごっこ (kazoku gokko) - playing family / playing house
It seems like (you're) completely accustomed to playing family (house).
Tumblr media
Mission 30: Nightfall
• "今の先輩はおままごとでふぬけています"
(Ima no senpai ha omamagoto de funuketeimasu)
先輩 (せんぱい, senpai) - senior
おままごと (omamagoto) - playing house
ふぬけ (funuke) - weak-willed

Tumblr media
Note: From the recurring usage of "腑抜け" (ふぬけ, funuke) had the context reflected in Nightfall's sentence came to a clearer view as compared to the previous assumption. While some words were used in different variations, the conversational theme involved in these remarks were similar.

Tumblr media
Aesthetic details
Straight and white hair, sharp eye shape, and stoic expression.
Tumblr media
Offensive reaction
Natural reflex in knife-throwing.
Tumblr media
Directed scepticism
Scrutinisation towards Yor.
Tumblr media
Calculated considerations:

Note: Alongside the stated considerations is the possibility where Hemlock and Nightfall's case being siblings or relatives separated by the Westalis-Ostania conflict somewhere in the timeline.
