Ray let out a heavy breath as the stabbing pain in his head slowly faded, leaving just a faint throb that eventually disappeared completely. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and forced himself to stand up straight again.
He looked the short girl in front of him up and down. A mix of shock and confusion swirled in his mind.
"The fuck... you look different?" Ray blurted out, eyebrows furrowed tight. "This ain't the girl I saw before. Way different, damn."
The girl just snorted dismissively, crossing her arms over her chest without a shred of guilt. "Oh, that one? I was just controlling someone back then. Easy to find a temporary 'vessel' just to show up front of you."
Ray rubbed his face roughly, trying to process the crazy shit she just dropped. But he didn't have time to overthink her insane hacking or mind-control bullshit. He needed answers fast.
