Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough

That damned Rhodes, of all days, he had to come and disturb her slumber.

She struggled to her feet, then leaned against the headboard, her hands resting on her bound eyes, feeling the stinging pain.

In her view, although only a moment had passed, six hours had actually gone by outside.

The sunlight that was just now has been replaced by moonlight, and at this moment, the house has become dim and shady.

"Only six hours have passed, it's seven o'clock in the evening, not even a day has passed..." she murmured, and one could even feel the [bloodlust] state still surging through her body.

However, after six hours, the thirst for blood had at least eased a little.

"...even on a full moon, I can't sleep."

She sighed, propped herself up, and prepared to get up.

But at that moment, the wind blew in.

The winter wind is very cold.

The biting cold was almost devastating for her frail body.

"Damn it, the window is still broken..." She looked at the large floor-to-ceiling window with annoyance, but in an instant, her face froze.

because--

A breeze blew in, and the white curtains billowed in the wind like waves, while the moonlight shone directly into the room.

The shadow of the moon, like an arc of light—

On this window, a beautiful female figure leaned lightly against the window, her thighs crossed, creating a charming silhouette.

Can--

Just a silhouette.

Because this "woman" was entirely black, just a silhouette without a clear face.

"..." The moment Ivina saw her, her pupils contracted sharply, and she gritted her teeth.

"Long time no see." A clear, melodious voice rang out, and a female shadow, resting her chin on her hand, seemed to reveal a faint smile as she gazed at Ivina with her back to the moonlight.

"What are you doing here?"

Ivina's fierce gaze reappeared as she stared intently at the dark figure.

“Because you woke up, unusually woke up.” The shadow slightly raised her head and looked around the familiar room. “Don’t forget, your senses, pain, joy, and desires are always shared with me.”

"Tsk..." Ivina sighed viciously, then slumped back against the backrest in a resigned manner.

"So what exactly happened?" the shadowy figure asked jokingly. "It can't be that he suddenly wanted to wake up, celebrate his birthday, and then die again, can it?"

“No,” Ivina denied, but didn’t want to tell the truth.

Because this guy will definitely start barking...

"Ah~ So what is it? I have the right to know, right? Otherwise, if you suddenly go into heat, it will be really difficult for me to handle."

"You!" Ivina gasped upon hearing the word. "I didn't—!"

“You already had it.”

Ivina's face froze, she bit her lip tightly, lowered her eyes, and after what seemed like a struggle, she slowly spoke.

“He came to my place, this is completely wrong.”

Upon hearing this, Shadow's smile gradually disappeared, and his eyes turned cold.

"He's here?"

"Ah."

"Impossible, he should still be busy doing something else at this time."

"That's true."

"..."

"It seems he wanted to save you, to prevent your death. Hmm, that's what he meant..."

They both fell silent.

But soon, the shadowy figure's hand was back on his chin.

The shadowy figure's pupils were as deep as if they had traversed countless spaces, and even though it was all pitch black, they seemed to see through the truth.

But then, she covered her mouth with delight and laughed out loud.

"Interesting, so interesting! Is that how it is? Darling, darling..."

Yes, that's exactly how it should be.

Otherwise, what's the point of revenge?

To kill with my own hands, to destroy with my own hands, to utterly destroy everything that was once eternal…

Her emotions grew increasingly fractured, and the excitement in her eyes surged suddenly, but at this moment—

"If you're going crazy, then get out of here!" At that moment, Ivina interrupted the shadowy figure's emotions and shouted.

The shadowy figure snapped out of its daze.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. So, what do you plan to do? Reach out to him, or just like in my previous life, willingly die?"

"I should die. I deserve to die." The decisiveness in Ivina's eyes was crystal clear.

“He’s the person you like, not the person I like, so I don’t need his salvation. Besides, he’s not worthy of saving me, nor is he capable of saving me.”

The shadowy figure's expression turned slightly cold upon hearing Ivina's response.

"Is that so?"

"To be honest, it's really a headache for me to come and save you, darling. What was supposed to be a simple multiple-choice question has now become incredibly complicated."

If you really still want to die and want to hand everything over to me completely, then I naturally don't want you, my dear, to ruin my plan to turn you into a vessel.

But the problem is...

You're not just hating, are you?

He hates that I was saved by him, but he couldn't save you, so he pretends to be someone who doesn't need to be saved.

You try so hard to deny him simply because you want to deny the person I like in order to satisfy your ego and say, "I don't need him," right?

But in the end...

We are just one person.

Even if you don't like him, under my influence, just being near him will make you happy, relaxed, or even vulgar.

In this situation, no matter how hard you try to deny your physiological instincts, can you really not fall in love with him?

Right?

The original me.

Chapter 32 She Doesn't Deserve to Be Saved

Before she turned fourteen, there was only one girl named Ivina.

But after the age of fourteen, the girl was split into two people.

Because of her symbiote and mental illness, she developed a personality at the age of eight to protect herself.

What's special is that, due to the unique skill of her [Divine Seed], she can place the protective consciousness within her [Shadow].

Strange things then began to happen.

The shadow gained its own will, inherited a brand new future, and became a unique individual.

An individual who will be unharmed even if the original body dies—

No.

It wouldn't be accurate to say it's unique.

Because, although their memories are not shared and their personalities are different, their perceptions are the same.

When the [original body] is happy, the [shadow] will also be happy; when the [original body] is heartbroken, the [clone] will also experience excruciating heartache.

Pain, indignation, joy, and pleasure are all interconnected.

In other words, whatever the main body does, the clone will respond, and whatever the clone does, the main body will also respond.

Of course, the feedback was all in a psychological sense.

For example, if the main body cuts its wrist with a knife, the clone will not be injured, but it will feel the coldness of blood loss and the stinging pain in its wrist.

But in short...

The two of them became people who were both the same and different.

In the beginning, they preferred to call each other "sisters."

After all, the two of them were like lonely kittens, only able to curl up and hug each other for comfort, and unable to ask anything from the outside world.

But after a period of time, everything changed.

One person betrayed them.

[Shadow] gained the right to leave, and even found her own value outside.

She found the goal she had been pursuing all her life, and she no longer wanted to come back to protect her "incomplete" self.

Moreover, the shadow's love for that person surpassed her desire to redeem her past self, therefore she was unwilling to let the [original body] come into contact with him—

After all, the original body's bloodlust can truly drain a healthy person dry...

that's it……

The [original body] carries the [past], leaving all the evil within her, while the [shadow] inherits the future, showering all the brilliance upon her.

and so.

One day, the original entity said—

You want a container, right? Use me.
