"K-Karlia…?"
"L-Lewis…?"
As my voice overlapped with Karlia's, I felt a lot of emotions course through me. They were overwhelming—too overwhelming.
However, despite the myriad of thoughts that flowed through my mind, one of them popped out even more.
"H-how did you… know it was me?"
She looked just as surprised as me, so that meant this came as a shock to both of us.
The reason I knew it was Karlia was that she hadn't changed a single bit since we last saw each other. Well, she was using glasses now—and was that a labcoat I saw on her?—but she pretty much still had the same look.
There was no way I wouldn't recognize the only demoness I ever loved.
'But what about her? How did she—?!'
"Lewis… how is this… possible? You're Jared Leonard? What is this? Soul possession? Body augmentation? No… this can't be… Reincarnation?"
All it took was a few seconds, and she unravelled the mystery surrounding my return.
