Though this phone was practically ancient, it still worked.
"Back when we were still at the Enheria research institute, I secretly hid this phone."
Scorpion replied, "It has photos of every one of us... from when we were still human."
I twitched the corner of my mouth.
"If you'd given me this phone earlier, I could have turned all of you back into your original forms... but not now. The effect of reconstructing a physical body can only be triggered during Sanctification."
Scorpion handed over the phone. I reached out to take it, but Sophia snatched it away.
She hugged the phone tightly and cried out:
"No! Miluno isn't allowed to look!"
"...Why not?"
Sophia muttered under her breath, "The me from before Witchification and the me now are completely different! I-I don't want you seeing that version of me and letting it affect your impression of who I am now!!"
What a roundabout way to put it. Why was she always so awkward?
"Wow, I seriously can't stand watching this!"
Terra, the self-proclaimed understanding big sister, suddenly popped up and muttered.
Naturally, only I could hear her.
"Miluno, can't you be a little more tactful? Do you have to be so blunt?"
"Huh?"
Terra's voice grew louder and louder in my head, as though she was genuinely angry over this.
"Listen! Girls don't want the person they like seeing ugly photos of them from the past. They care a lot about how others judge their appearance. This isn't something you can just look at whenever you want! And have you considered why this girl doesn't want to look in mirrors?"
Apparently, she'd figured it out again.
"Go on."
"I think that girl is probably scared that her eyes look terrifying."
Put simply, Sophia looked like the white-haired, red-eyed vampire
