"Eli!" I practically screamed the name into the quiet of my library. "You're actually back! And you didn't even start with some weird comment about something perverted! Are you broken? Did you delete your personality during that week of silence?"
『 Hey now, give me some credit! I might be the lingering mind of Eisheth, coming in package from the very essence of Sinful Lust, but that doesn't mean I have to spout perverted nonsense every second like some poorly programmed background character. I have standards, Mesmer. 』
Eli's voice echoed in my head, as vibrant and smug as I remembered.
That dommy mommy voice that barely acts like one.
Still,I found myself grinning like a complete idiot, my shoulders finally dropping from their permanent defensive hunch.
I really missed her, huh. Even her scummy, intrusive presence felt like a warm hearth compared to the isolation of the last seven days in my mind.
