The anxiety and confusion that had been troubling Lina mysteriously disappeared the moment she came face to face with the woman.
The woman had beautiful silver hair and sapphire-blue eyes that gave anyone who looked into them a sense of serenity. Three giant rings floating behind her radiated a noble and divine aura, as if meant to intimidate anyone who stood before her.
Surprisingly, Lina didn't feel intimidated at all. Instead, she felt curious and intrigued by the woman's identity. "Who are you? Why does your face... look like mine?"
"Because I am you. More precisely, I am your past."
"My past?"
"You don't have to understand it now, but listen to my story. People... especially my beloved son who lives within your consciousness, will hear our conversation."
Lina had absolutely no idea what the woman was talking about. She especially didn't understand what she meant by people living inside her consciousness. Despite this, she remained silent and listened intently.
