Yang opened her eyes to see a white ceiling decorated with electrical lights. She slowly rose up from the bed to see a tall adult man with silver hair and a silver mustache talking to the doctor.
“Uh…good morning?”
The two adults turned to Yang the moment she woke up. The mustache man was more overjoyed and hurried over to her.
“Higane! Are you alright sweetheart!? Does anything hurt!?”
“H-Higane? Who?”
The mustache man gasped.
“Oh no! Did you lose your memory? Oh, my dear precious daughter!”
“W-what are you—“
Yang closed her mouth and then glanced down at her hands, realizing that they were no longer as pale white as usual.
“Oh my gosh,” Yang said in her thoughts. “I really did possess someone…”
The girl then looked over at her grieving father and the tense doctor.
“I gotta fix this quickly!”
Yang cleared her throat and tried to let out a laugh.
“Ha ha! I was just kidding dear father! Of course, I know my name! And of course, I know YOU!”
The father of the girl Yang possessed examined her with teary eyes. He smiled warmly and embraced the girl in a tight hug.
“Don’t play games like that again, Higane! I swore I was about to pass out!”
“I-I’m sorry…”
“So…my name is Higane,” Yang repeated in her thoughts. “I have to remember that.”
The mustache man released her daughter from the hug and his face changed into that of pure anger.
“I can’t believe that ruffian tried to assault you like that! I will not rest until there is justice!”
“Ruffian?” Yang said to herself, luckily she said it in such a low voice that the father did not hear her.
The mustache man stood tall and projected his voice to a high degree.
“In the honor of the Utose name—I swear I will make that boy regret even being in my daughter’s presence! Higane, do you believe you are well enough to go to school tomorrow?”
“H-huh? Y-yeah, I think so…”
“Then we will be there early in the morning for a conference with that boy and his family! I will make them bow down and apologize a thousand times for what they did! Or maybe even demand compensation!”
Mr. Utose huffed.
“I have so many ideas on how to make them pay!”
As the older man was verbally projecting how to make his enemies suffer, Yang secluded back into the vastness of her mind and tried to access the current situation she was in.
“Okay…so after me and Yin went through the gate, we must have accidentally fallen into the vessels of some humans who were nearby. If I fell in love with this girl—then Yin must be in the body of the boy who was close to her! Alright, I will try to meet up with him tomorrow—because I don't think this crazy old man is going to let me go now…”
Yang cringed at the sight of Mr. Utose giggling like an evil mastermind from a cartoon.
“Yin…I hope you're alright.”
