It was a very strange feeling.
Looking at his own body on the bed, Xia You felt indescribably odd in his soul form.
His heart was clearly still beating, yet he could no longer even seem to feel himself breathing.
Beside the bed, Misty saw Xia You lying there as though asleep. She knelt on the bed and nudged his arm.
"Xia You, have you left?"
What do you mean, left? You make it sound like I'm dead...
Xia You turned to Gengar. "She shouldn't be able to hear me speaking now, right?"
Gengar nodded. "In soul form, you really can't communicate with normal people. But although she can't hear your voice, you can play some pranks on her."
Pranks?
Xia You shook his head. He had no interest in playing pranks on a young girl. However...
On the bed, when Misty received no reply from Xia You, she assumed he had already left. A strange smile appeared on her face as she slowly reached toward his chest...
Xia You watched, speechless.
What exactly is this girl trying to do?
Turning to Gengar, Xia You frowned. "Tell her I haven't left yet. Tell her to rein it in!"
Gengar had been wearing a fond, knowing smile, ready to enjoy the show and see just what Misty might do. Hearing Xia You, he could only sigh helplessly, cough a few times, and repeat Xia You's words to Misty with a disappointed expression.
"Huh?"
Misty froze, then snatched her hand back like a startled bird, embarrassment spreading across her face.
"Well... actually, I just noticed your clothes were a little messy and wanted to straighten them out."
Even as she spoke, she was secretly regretting it.
I'm such an idiot!!!
*Gengar clearly hadn't left yet, so Xia You couldn't have left either.
