Lynn knew there was no point explaining things like this to Zuo Zuo. Still, he understood that now was not the time to figure out how to deal with that curse. His immediate priority was to forge Miss Doll's arm as soon as possible.
"Miss Doll, before I forge your arm, there's one more thing I need your help with."
Black String Moon sat there quietly. "What is it?"
Lynn adjusted his Monocle and said seriously, "I need to use one of my abilities on you. I need to see the internal structure of your arm so I can reproduce it completely."
Black String Moon thought for a moment. "What do I need to do?"
Lynn smiled slightly. "Nothing. Just relax. Don't resist me, and trust me as much as you can. That's the only way my ability can activate."
Black String Moon gazed at him quietly, then nodded firmly.
"All right."
Lynn prepared himself, then reached out toward her. Her image was reflected in his eyes as strands of silver light slowly gathered in his hand.
[Ding! You are using "Remnants of the Past" on Black String Moon. Would you like to apply its effect now?]
"Yes!"
With his confirmation-
In an instant-
Dazzling white light suddenly enveloped Black String Moon's entire body, making her pupils dilate.
Within that silver light, she immediately felt her body changing. As though time had begun to flow backward, her ruined body, which had burned in the flames, slowly returned. Time rapidly rewound until it finally stopped at the moment before the explosion.
As the silver light faded-
The black Gothic dress that had already burned away settled gently onto the bed like falling petals. Even her arm had returned to her body, fully intact.
She stared blankly at her hands.
