Stepping out of the side room she and Josie had just been in, Dahlia tried her best to get her heart rate back under control. Their little interlude, Josie's desire to serve and the undeniable reverence in her eyes had the girl's thoughts going haywire. However, even more than that, the act of seeing the woman tear away her stone flesh was unbelievably enjoyable to Dahlia and she was trying not to think too hard about it.
Oh, at first it was different. At first it was irrefutably horrific and made her gut clench in agony. Even if unintentional, it was her that had caused Josie's suffering and it was her that had given her a body that was driving the woman mad. To see her tear away at it, desperate to escape like she was suffering endless torment… words didn't do justice for what Dahlia felt. It was sheer and unadulterated despair at what she had done.
Hiatus will be starting soon! Join the discord for details but it'll likely start in about a month at the close of the volume.

Those announcements will become regular in the last few chapters of this volume, sorry for the repitition.
*Also* sorry for the delay on this chapter. I had some writers block and am in general not in a good headspace this week so it didn't come out the way I wanted it to. Hopefully it was still enjoyable, but I appologise for both the delay and the potential reduction of quality.
Anyways, that's about all from me so, as always, I hope you're all taking care and having a lovely day. And happy halloween :D
