It's true that a major trauma can trigger a split in personality, but very few cases manage to produce over a dozen personalities at once. And according to Miss Ruo, she formed her new personalities by absorbing the traits of people she'd met. In a sense, she lost her subjectivity—her alternate personalities modeled after others, more like parasites of other people.
"No wonder you switch personalities so quickly." Xu Huo said, "Is the core personality still alive?"
"She's already dead." Miss Ruo spoke with a hint of wistfulness, "My parents refused to stay in my body, they wanted to kill their own daughter. She perished together with them."
"So the dead savior was your core personality." Xu Huo paused, "Why would you trick that personality?"
Miss Ruo lifted her eyelids and glanced at him, "Don't you know?"
"Even with so many siblings, not every one of them is strong enough to accept themselves. We've already lost our parents and our eldest sister. We don't want to lose her too."
