"What did you do?!" Sua cried. Gahyeon said nothing and sat trembling on the couch. "I-I don't know! I don't even remember getting out of the taxi! All I remember is that I was sitting in the taxi and the driver was talking to me, then I woke up again when I was walking up the stairs. How did my hands get like this? Even I don't know." Gahyeon rambled, not taking a breath once. Siyeon stood up suddenly and whispered, "Gahyeon didn't do it. It was that monster inside her head." She showed Gahyeon's bloody clothes. "The monster hurt her. I had to carry and heal her." Gahyeon looked down and saw her clothes were caked with dark brownish blood, obviously older than the blood on her hands.

Huh. Sorry for hurting you. Now I know that you will do whatever I say, I can make you.

"Get out." Gahyeon suddenly hissed. Handong looked at her curiously. "That thing talked to you again, right?" she asked suspiciously. Gahyeon's brown eyes widened and she nodded profusely. "H-Help me. Please, I don't know how to get it out." Gahyeon whimpered and her body shook as if a shock had passed through her. She settled down and started laughing loudly. Her eyes shone and her nostrils flared. The air of fear and softness around her had disappeared, replaced with an aura of evil and insanity. Handong and Sua backed away, while Yoohyeon and Minji were next to Yubin, looking terrified. Siyeon stood in front of Gahyeon. "The monster." Siyeon just said.

Yoohyeon was absolutely terrified. Gahyeon looked scary, just as she had the first time they had met after Yoohyeon fell. She remembered, when Gahyeon was choking that other girl, who Yoohyeon now recognised as Sua. Her eyes looked the same now as it had all those days ago; empty, cold, but shining gold with satisfaction. Completely unlike how Gahyeon's eyes normally were- brown, warm and bright and kind. Gahyeon convulsed and her eyes faded back to brown. Then she started weeping, huge tears rolling off her face. Sua, Handong and Siyeon looked awkwardly at Minji, Yoohyeon and Yubin, so Minji got up and enveloped Gahyeon in a hug with trembling arms. Sua waved her hand lazily and Yubin's handcuffs disappeared, but fixed Yubin with a stony glare that clearly meant, Don't hurt Gahyeon. Yoohyeon sat on the couch next to Minji and clearly separating Gahyeon and Yubin.

Gahyeon's shoulders were bobbing up and down and Minji was embracing her, whispering sweet words and mumbling reassurances into her hair. Yoohyeon couldn't help but feel a little jealous, because she didn't exist anymore, Gahyeon and Minji almost looked like lovers. Yoohyeon pursed her lips and thought, It's fine. It's fine, Yooh. You're dead, Gahyeon is not, Minji is not. Who are you to stop them loving each other..? Plus, Gahyeon is going through a hard time, you need to comfort her as well. Yoohyeon stretched her arms and interlocked them so it looked like she was hugging Gahyeon. Obviously she couldn't actually hug her, but she still hoped that it gave Gahyeon a sense of happiness.
