Chapter 404: Unaware of Everything

Seki stood up and looked at herself in the mirror, running her fingers gently over her face. 

She traced the curves of her neck, admiring her reflection.

"You're really beautiful, aren't you? No wonder that pig wanted you so badly," she giggled with a bitter laugh, finding the whole thing amusing. 

"At least I managed to protect this body before he could do any lasting damage," she added, sounding very pleased with herself. 

The voice speaking now wasn't Seki's. It belonged to Aika, the soul trapped inside the pendant. 

After Seki had lost all hope and wished to escape her nightmare, Aika took over her body.

Normally, possessing a body took time, but if the host willingly gave it up, it could be done instantly without harming the original soul.

This was why, when Seki woke up, she still felt like herself. But Aika could take control of her body whenever she wanted, silently influencing thoughts from the shadows.
