"Let me give you an example."
Deity Momo's voice was light, as if she were explaining the rules of a board game rather than the fundamental mechanics of reality.
"The first time we spoke, you could hear both of our voices." A pause. "But now, you can only hear mine."
Cecilia's eyes narrowed.
She had heard Burn's voice before, when the horizontal scar formed on her neck. But now there were only rumbles and growls from that direction. Only Momo's clear, melodic voice filling the space.
"Which means…" Cecilia muttered. "To show yourself in this form, you need to sacrifice one of your voices?" She glanced at Burn's flickering form, then back to Momo. "Just like… how you traded your mouth for your eyes…?"
Momo let out a sound, a giddy, gingery hum that seemed to vibrate through the air. She sounded incredibly delighted.
"Dangerous, dangerous." Her form rippled, almost bouncing. "With how fast your brain is, it might be dangerous!"
