Chara stared at Elodie with her mouth wide open. Did she just... did she just ask about Felicia?

Her brain rapidly processed what it had been told. Who was a retired Military Police officer, was interested in demons, and had reason to believe Chara knew Felicia? There was only one possibility, wasn't there? She kept trying to think of an alternative explanation, but she kept coming to the same conclusion.

Felicia was no less shocked. Oh... my... god...

Elodie clearly didn't know what was going on. She looked confused. "Chara? Are you alright?"

"Elodie," Chara whispered, "what's your father's name?"

"Uh, Monty."

And so she confirmed it. Elodie's adoptive father was Monty. Chara felt a chill run down her spine. What sick game was he playing this time?

Chara didn't know what to do. What did she say? What did she tell Elodie?

Let me handle this.

Felicia was more decisive. Once again, she forced Chara's eyes shut and took over. "Elodie..."

"Chara?"

In the blink of an eye, Felicia forcefully grabbed Elodie's wrist and dragged her to the classroom's supply closet. She brought her inside and closed the door. It was just the three of them now, alone in the dark closet. Chara felt Elodie's pulse skyrocket. "Chara, what's wrong? Who's Felicia?"

"Elodie," Felicia said, "how do I put this nicely? Your father is basically Satan."

She blinked. "Wh-what? What are you talking about? My dad isn't Satan! What do you know about him?!"

"Let's start from the beginning," Felicia said. "You know how Chara came back from the dead? How do you think that was possible?"

"Wait, why did you just...?"

"Frisk found a human soul, my soul. He gave it to Chara, but I'm still here as well. Me, Felicia."

Elodie's green eyes widened. "You mean... you're Felicia? What? I don't understand."

Felicia tried to slow down and explain slowly. "Yes, I am Felicia. Right now, I'm sharing this body with Chara. She's still here; I've simply taken over the controls for now."

Elodie was still confused. "So, is this like, dissociative identity or something? Chara, I think you need help. It sounds like you have a case of split personality."

She shook her head. "No, it's nothing like that. Frisk merged my soul with Chara's body, and our essences were linked. One body, one soul, but two essences."

Felicia, are you sure you want to tell her all this?

Of course. Besides, it's a little late to back out now.

Chara hoped she knew what she was doing.

Understandably, Elodie was still having a hard time wrapping her head around this. "Okay, so let me make sure I've got this right. Frisk has Chara in his head, finds a soul, and puts it in Chara's body. Chara is revived, but there's also another person inside the soul."

"Correct."

"And now you and Chara are, like, a human amalgamate?"

"I suppose that's fairly accurate, minus the bodies melting together."

"Uh, wow," Elodie said. "This is, umm, this is really crazy."

"We already have Chara awakening from death," Felicia pointed out. "What's one more?"
