"So… then… Is that my soul?"
"No, that is my soul!"
I didn't doubt it, although the soul was smiling at me, I believed it was my own soul, despite its being out of sync with the other eight souls. My heart was sure that this person was me!
As I retreated, the nine souls seemed to be summoned towards me, scrubbing all over the place. A "question" hit my heart!
"It can't be...it can't be… They were supposed to give you their souls...!" At that moment of extreme pain, I heard the water ghost's lovely voice.
I gently moved my bones and muscles and then looked at the water ghost, saying, "Hang on, I'm still alive!"
This time, the water ghost ignored me. It looked up at the twelve village spirits incredulously and asked, "Why… why would you help them?"
