Even Reina herself was frightened by that scene. She couldn't imagine that she...had been like that.

She felt so uncomfortable that she didn't want to look any further, but she still kept her eyes open.

The adults left, looking at themselves with strange eyes.

When she was young, she lived alone in a small house. She became thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye, her hair became increasingly dirty, and so did her clothes. She could even smell the unpleasant stench.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and she wandered on the street or on the side of the road. Sometimes someone would give her something to eat, and sometimes someone would hold a broom.

Seeing herself getting more and more haggard, Reina felt a hint of despair.

She saw her little self hiding in the room, holding the stones she picked up, and drawing something in the room day after day.

It was a terrifying pattern. It looked like a magic circle, but it was crooked and different. It didn't look like a good magic circle. Could it be...

She had a bad feeling. Could it be that her younger self wanted to...

Resurrection of mother?

But she soon discovered that she didn't understand herself at all, because she heard her younger self say horrible things.

On a full moon night, she knelt in front of the magic circle, and something extremely dark appeared behind her.

"The strongest and baddest demon! I beg you, help me destroy this world!"

Reina saw a strange thing, that thing did not belong to this world, her magic took effect, and what was even more terrifying was that she actually said these words.

Just when she saw a person spitting out of that weird thing, everything went away from her.

"No!!"

All the images converged into a black dot, and then the world returned to its original state, and she came back.
