Hover over the clues if you require!
Clue 1: 'Primary' as in the colours.
Clue 2: What order of animals do Morphos and Monarchs belong to?
Clue 3: Remember, they 'diverge'. Which primary colour is missing? Similarly, both Morphos and Monarchs fall into one of two members of the Lepidoptera order. What's the other?
Answer and Explanation
Answer: Red Moth
Explanation: Primary refers to primary colors, which are Yellow, Red, and Blue. Since Yellow and Blue are there, we are left with Red. Both Morpho and Monarchs are lepidopteras, consisting of butterflies and moths. Since Morphos and Monarchs are butterflies, moths are the 'divergence'.
Summary of Receipt
323 is approached by Pleasant and Aka, asking for sanctuary and help against Satan. Pleasant’s convinced that Satan’s trying to open the Gates to Eden instead, and she, being of the house of Lilith, does not like that. Similarly, Aka wants an out as well. Although he’s technically bound to Satan, he suggests that the CaD plays his game, which Aka promises he will deliberately lose. Of course, it may be a trap, but Pleasant probably wouldn’t allow Aka to weaken the CaD in their fight against Eve. Probably.

[SECURITY] CAFE
I was just paid an unexpected visit by two very interesting customers—Mrs. Pleasant and Mrs. Aka. Of course, I am well acquainted with Mrs. Pleasant, though this was my first-time meeting Mrs. Aka. Under normal conditions, having Pleasant and Aka show up at my door would be a turn of ill luck. However, in a strange twist, they seem to have brought an olive branch of sorts. They aren’t working with Padre this time around. In fact, they want to stop whatever he’s planning.
Despite past associations with Satan, Mothman does not actually owe any loyalty to him or his schemes. Mothman is loyal only to the house of Lilith. In the past me, and Mothman have been at each other’s throats because of that. But Mothman and Redman are worried that Satan isn’t planning on freeing the Devil, but Eve instead. If the houses of Lilith, Eisheth, and Naamah agree on anything, it’s that Eve is beyond dangerous. It’s no wonder why Mothman would have a vested interest in preventing or delaying Eve’s return for as long as possible.
And then there’s Rubeus Redman. Rubeus is still bound to the house of Satan through his boogieman contract, though he wants out. Or, I suppose, an out. Due to his unique terms, Rubeus can act as a free agent separate from Satan. However, to do that, he needs to be in service of someone who has won his game. Which… he would like to do with the Cafe. Obviously, this could very well be a trap. It’s certainly not an offer to be taken lightly. However, if we don’t make a pact with Rubeus, he will still be under Satan’s control.
I suppose… the offer is open if anyone wants to take it. Mothman and Redman want to help, but they also won’t force us to side with them. From my history with Mothman, I can say that he seems sincere, and I assume he wouldn’t allow Redman to trick us as it would slow us down and keep us from focusing our efforts on containing and detaining Eve and Eden.
