What was madam Merlars Story in the OG Paper Mario

[Boo1268]

In Paper Mario Madam merlar tells a story about her past that puts mario to sleep what was that story? and did anyone ever figure it out?

I don't know, but I do wanna know that at what point was it ever confirmed that Madam Merlar and Merlumina from Super Paper Mario are the same character?

I'm going to guess that there's a dead parent, a love triangle, and betrayal involved.
