People are in Mygo, and I can write their personalities.

"By the way, where's Xiaoyue? Isn't she here?"

"...Mom, do you think she'll continue living here?"

The name she didn't want to hear was mentioned again. Nagasaki Motoyo gripped her left arm tightly with her right hand, trying hard to control herself from showing any inappropriate emotions in front of her mother.

"What's wrong with you two again? Did you have a fight?"

“I said… she has nothing to do with me, and we’re not friends.”

"But didn't you happily tell me that you had made a very cute and close friend named Xiaoyue? What kind of conflicts could there be between you young girls? Hmm... could it be that the two sisters both like the same boy?"

"Mom! What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Nagasaki Motoyo never expected her mother to be so irreverent. "Also... Mom, just leave this alone. I... I'll handle it myself."

Can she really handle this? Nagasaki Motoyo bit her lip, deeply doubting.

But it's alright... what could she possibly be unhappy about now?

Xiao Xiang has returned. Yes, the Xiao Xiang she remembered still brings her warmth from her peers, outside of her family.

Why should she think about anything else? Nanami Natsuki's affairs are no longer relevant to her. She just needs to reassemble the old Crychic according to the ideas she has always held.

Xiao Mu will believe it and accept this reality... After all, reality is reality, and reality doesn't lie, nor can it be a lie!

And Xiaodeng, she'll definitely be on my side, right?

Although Li hope made some mistakes yesterday, the facts ultimately dispelled the doubts. Just think about it and you'll understand... How could Xiao Xiang, who had experienced all those memories and obsessions with the band, keep avoiding her after she regained her memories?

How could he have said those hurtful things to her after drinking?

Xiao Xiang wouldn't deny her, nor would he deny everything from the past... These could only have been done by Nanami Natsuki, after all, Nanami Natsuki's abilities are so terrifying, anything could have come from her, right?

"Su Shi, have you eaten?"

"Huh?" Su Shi snapped out of her brainstorming session and shook her head somewhat awkwardly. "I...I forgot."

"How can you be so incapable of taking care of yourself?" Su Shi's mother frowned. "It's almost 8 o'clock and you still haven't eaten dinner. Never mind... Su Shi, what do you want to eat? Mom will make it for you."

"Ah... I want to eat the tonkotsu ramen that you make, Mom."

"Really? Let me see if you have any pork bones in your fridge. Hmm... thank goodness you didn't suggest an option where there were no ingredients."

Although Su Shi's mother's cooking skills are not comparable to those of professional chefs, they are sufficient for Su Shi herself.

After a wait of about 10 minutes, two bowls of steaming hot tonkotsu ramen were placed on the table.

Su Shi blew on the steam, then sipped the soup from her bowl. Sitting opposite her, Su Shi's mother looked at her daughter's adorable appearance and couldn't help but smile with contentment.

What mother doesn't want to see her precious child more often?

“Su Shi, Mom will be coming home every day from now on. The project I was on a business trip for has ended, and I won’t be sent abroad this year. Ah… but I’ll probably still be back very late.”

"Really?" Su Shi's face lit up with joy.

"Yes, Mom didn't lie to you."

"Only Nanami Natsuki would lie to me," Su Shi thought to herself.

"By the way, Xiaosu Shi, haven't you been in school for a week already? How's it going? Have you made any new friends? Have you seen any of your middle school classmates?"

"I have a few new friends too."

Su Shi didn't know if the girls she knew in her class could be considered friends, but she had tried her best. However, her long-standing habitual way of thinking made it difficult for her to be sure whether she had done a good job.

"But Xiao Mu is in our class too."

"Is that the little girl from your old band?"

"Um……"

"What about Toyokawa Shoko, the source of your argument before, Xiaoyue?"

"Xiao Xiang... she's not in the Moon Forest, she's in the Hanasaki River."

"Huh?" Su Shi's mother was a little surprised. "Isn't the Toyokawa family very rich? Why did they go to Hanasakikawa... Well, it's not impossible, after all, there are even richer families in Hanasakikawa."

"Ah... I'm sorry, Su Shi, Mom shouldn't have said such mercenary things to you."

"It's fine."

"But you actually knew that Xiangzi went to Hanasaki River, so you two made up?"

"Yes... I've made up with Xiaoxiang." Su Shi's face lit up with a happy smile once again.

"Then why don't you talk to Xiaoyue? She shouldn't be the type to throw a tantrum and get jealous just because you and Xiangzi got back together... Su Shi..."

"Mom! Stop saying that!!!"

Why insist on linking these two people together?

Do they have to be seen as having some special relationship? They are clearly two completely unrelated people... It was only because they had no other choice that they ended up swapping bodies.

But why does everyone insist on mentioning Nanami Natsuki in front of her?

She no longer wanted to pay attention to that witch; she just wanted to stay by Xiao Xiang's side... Was that not allowed?

"Muto, promise me you won't go to see Nanami Natsuki."

"Xiao Mu, listen to me, I'm planning to rebuild Crychic with Xiao Xiang and the others... You'll come, right?"

"Xiao Mu, let's go see Nanami Natsuki, then our wishes can both come true, right?"

......

"Please stop talking... Waaah..."

Ruo Yemu patted her forehead in pain, trying to clear the voices from her mind.

She hadn't felt like this in a long time... She was playing the guitar in the basement of her house when she suddenly lost consciousness. She then felt herself enter a dark space surrounded by a bunch of television sets, each displaying images of people she had met in the past and their conversations.

DID—Dissociative Identity Disorder, also known as schizophrenia, is a secret that Wakaba Mutsu possesses and has never told anyone else.

Although she has never actually been diagnosed at a mental health clinic, her symptoms are likely consistent with the common manifestations of this mental illness.

For Mutsumi Wakaba now, what she fears most is not the various "selves" she encounters, but rather other people outside of herself.

Her parents were actually very good to her. Although her parents arranged many courses for her that she didn't really like, Ruoye Mu didn't express much resistance.

She already possessed precious things: a guitar... and Xiang.

Of course, there were also Su Shi, Li Xi, and Deng, whom she met in Crychic... During that time, Ruo Ye Mu was happier than ever before. She felt a sense of fulfillment beyond the solitude she experienced when she locked herself in the basement. Everyone was so kind.

However, she said things she shouldn't have said and did things she shouldn't have done.

"Xiao Mu, you did nothing wrong. What you wanted was very simple, but you've been suppressing yourself all along. Also... you need to think more about yourself and stop worrying about Feng Chuan Xiangzi. Do you think she's ever really cared about you?"

"Stop talking, I won't let you see Nanami Natsuki."

"How could you do this! Xiao Mu is so mean-spirited, you definitely want to secretly go find that older sister by yourself!"

"I don't......"

"Xiao Mu, you shouldn't lie to me. I am another version of you, and I know exactly what you're thinking."

What is she thinking...? Does anyone really know? If Metis knew, why would she say it like that, in such a disappointing tone?

In Ruoye Mu's opinion, Metis was too greedy, and she herself was too greedy.

She shouldn't have asked for more... It was because on the day Crychic disbanded, she lost control of her emotions for various reasons and expressed her inner desires that everyone looked at her with such strange eyes.

Even though Ruoye Mu wanted to atone for her sins and stayed in the band with Su Shi, who was the last to leave, nothing changed in the end. Everyone still dispersed, and she fell into endless regret and self-blame.

She shouldn't ask for too much of herself... As long as she has her own space, as long as she still has her guitar, and as long as everyone in Crychic treats her the same way they used to, she should be content.

"Metis, you're too greedy... I will never let you see Nanami Natsuki, no matter what."

"Waaaaah! Xiao Mu is so mean, I don't like you anymore!!! Is thinking about others the only thing on your mind?!"

"...I want to help Xiao Xiang."

"But you can't change anything. Xiangzi has already broken down. Unless you can let her see her dead mother, otherwise you..."

"Stop talking."

Ruo Yemu suddenly felt a strong aversion and disgust towards this other voice from her heart, but she couldn't help but savor the words the other person had just said.

Yes... it seems that if there's anything that can cheer Xiang up, it's probably being able to "see" her mother.

Although this situation is impossible according to normal thinking, what if it were the mysterious Nanami Natsuki... Could she make it happen?

After all, Xiang also said that no one really knows how powerful she is, but judging from the current outcome, everyone should have gotten what they wanted...

"Xiao Mu, you need my help. You won't be able to see Nanami Natsuki. Think about it... Su Shi hasn't mentioned Nanami Natsuki to you these past few days, has she?"

"She doesn't believe you at all. The one at school is clearly Xiangzi, but she insists that's not him. Su Shi is such a stupid sow!"

"You're not allowed to talk about Su Shi like that..." Ruoye Mu made an angry expression in front of the mirror.

"Xiao Mu, didn't you want to help Xiangzi? Didn't you want her to stop feeling so anxious and uneasy?"

"I'll find Nanami Natsuki myself, you don't need to worry about it."

"I can help you. I'm a great actor. I can do things you can't. I'll act like the person Su Shi wants to see in front of her, and then I can get close to Nanami Natsuki, right?"

"you......"

"Think about it, Xiaoxiang, whom you care about most, could completely break down at any moment. What if she does something rash and wants to see her mother? If you don't go to find Qihai soon, next time you might see a giant teru teru bozu doll at Xiangzi's house..."

"Shut up, shut up!!!"

When Ruoye Mu couldn't take it anymore, she grabbed a few stacks of guitar tabs from the sofa next to her and threw them at her reflection in the mirror.

Then she knelt weakly on the ground, because she knew... she desperately wanted someone to save Xiang, and even to save herself...

Why would she place her hopes on a complete stranger? What's wrong with her?

Ruo Yemu covered her eyes, trying to stop the tears from falling, but found that she couldn't stop them no matter what she did.

"Xiao Mu, don't cry... Let me do it. I will fulfill your wish and help you find Nanami Natsuki."

"..."
