After imparting Ethan with its final words, the demon within Elara seemed to lose interest and released its possession of her. As soon as it did, the pressure vanished, and her crimson aura dissipated.
Instantly, her body slackened, and her eyes returned to their normal state.
Elara blinked, looking around confused.
Her gaze landed on Ethan, who lay backwards on the ground, but his eyes remained locked onto her.
"…?"
She tilted her head, then quickly signed, *Why are you staring at me like that?*
Ethan just sighed.
*And what happened to your forehead?* she added.
He reached up, touching his sore face to feel a massive bump.
"Huh."
It was definitely noticeable, bright red and almost cartoonish.
But what was more surprising was that she didn't seem to know what had happened. Meaning not only was that entity capable of possessing her, but it could also do so without her even knowing what occurred.
"Nothing," he said casually. "Sir Demon just came out to play."
