Wow, absolutly wow. I am gob-smacked, that has to be one of the best pieces of fanfiction I've ever seen written. The way it all fits into the plot...

Wow.

wonderful imagery, very nicely done. I like that now that her "portrait" of Lilah is more complete, she can't really picture her at all.

I can see this happening once upon a time. I wonder how they would have met. Lilah's streaking herself with the blue paint is a nice gesture. Nina really was a wild child, wasn't she?
