Bellavella, temporarily occupying Raven 001's body, seemed extremely excited, completely unlike her usual image of sleeping all day and lacking all motivation even when awake. I could only guess that her normal state had been influenced by Silvia's soul, while the Bellavella before us, now free to move about, was probably her true self.
Occupying the shell of a mass-produced individual to temporarily gain the ability to act independently did not sound like a particularly complicated method, but I truly had not expected Bellavella to do it this way. How should I put it? To ordinary people, "occupying someone else's body" was not exactly a wholesome thing, even if the person being occupied was your own clone—actually, that made it even less wholesome. I felt like if I changed a few words around in what Bellavella was doing now, it could become a horror story, possibly with some ethical issues thrown in...
But Raven 001 showed no resistance at all. Perhaps the other mass-produced Ravens would not object either. These Shilin Apostles' unique worldview allowed them to cooperate with Bellavella in this somewhat bizarre experiment, and I also believed that Bellavella would not use her clone's body to do anything strange... probably...
Bellavella stood up and spun around twice on the spot, apparently savoring the feeling of having complete control over a body of her own. Then she tugged open "her" collar and peered inside, clicking her tongue in amazement. "Hey, I couldn't tell before, but Number One is pretty daring..."
Me: "..." Sandora: "..."
Could she take back what I had just said? She had already started doing strange things!
"Watch your image." Sandora sat regally in her chair, looking at the distinctly unrestrained Bellavella before her as though she were deliberately contrasting her own bearing against the other's.
