[But whatever. More important is that the knife is, in fact, on the table. Emily approaches it, but she doesn't get to reach for it before Maketh asks. It's probably less creepy to answer without a knife in her hand, so she turns to face Maketh and crosses her arms, leaving the knife where it is.]
I was being Kuchisake Onna -- the Slith-mouthed Woman. She's this vengeful ghost from Japanese legend. Her husband thought she cheated, got really jealous, and fucked her up, so she came back to take it out on whatever poor asshole she runs into.
[That's a decent summary of the legend, but it's not actually an answer to Maketh's question. Lying by omission and all.]
