"You're wrong; if I had a partner, my evil thoughts would be stronger than when I'm single."
"???"
Sophia in the painting tilted her head. Having a partner would make her stronger than being single?
Impossible.
She retained Sophia's human memories, and for a Transcendent with a partner, no matter how strong they were while single, within a few years of marriage... they would gradually become weaker, and even fear going home at night.
Even if they did go home, they would try various ways to sleep in separate rooms from their wives.
Just like Lance... After marriage, it would probably be like this.
"You think too highly of yourself."
"I can sense evil thoughts in your words."
"What's the use of sensing them? Surely you're not going to jump into the picture and beat me up? If you could really get into the picture, it remains to be seen who would beat whom."
