"Don't you want to escape?"
Xuandou was rather curious about this. He had not expected Uchiha Hikari to react this way after he released the genjutsu.
He had thought that after being controlled and betrayed by the Uchiha Clan of the Warring States period, Uchiha Hikari would loathe the feeling of being controlled. That was why he had deliberately kept her under genjutsu for a while.
He had planned to give Uchiha Hikari hope of gaining her freedom, then string her along little by little.
Except...
Now, none of Xuandou's earlier plans were of any use.
Sure enough, nothing ever worked out according to a perfectly laid plan.
Still, he had prepared for this.
Xuandou let out a helpless breath and projected images of a young man and woman into the air.
