I've been keeping a

  secret from Ronin.

  Appearing as weak,

  hiding in the shadows.

  But honestly, I'm tired

  of pretending.

  I'm tired of roaming these

  halls, playing these

  shadowy games.

  Now it's my turn to

  make a glamorous

  appearance.

  The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

  Tsukino doesn't have

  to be a meat suit for

  me to take over after

  all.

  Outside the door

  of the library, where

  Ronin is, I snap my

  fingers.

  Instead of being a

  dark shadow, my

  true form begins

  to take shape.

  I'm no longer

  transparent.

  I'm dead but WELL

  alive in this dimension.

  I enter the library,

  walking with confidence.

  Ronin and I make

  sudden eye contact.

  He's confused.

  Cassandra on the other

  hand laughs in deep

  amusement.
