"Seele..."
Facing Dark Seele, Bronya felt somewhat at a loss, worried, and afraid!
However, she did not entirely disbelieve what Dark Seele had said. She had actually harbored some suspicions about Seele having two personalities for quite some time. Especially after learning about Sin Mal's situation, she had suspected that perhaps Seele was behind Sin Mal's fear. Though Bronya had immediately rejected that thought—how could Seele possibly do something like that?

"Damn!"
Feeling something coil around her ankle,
