As time passed, Maya became a loyal follower of Harry, always sticking close by his side. However, things took a turn when Harry's step-younger brother began to exhibit his sense of power, or "mana," and used it to bully his older brother. At first, he did so discreetly, hoping to avoid their father's notice. But one day, their father caught Harry's younger brother in the act, as he brutally attacked Harry right in front of him. Surprisingly, their father remained silent and chose not to intervene. In the end, he coldly remarked that "he could not save someone he deemed to be worthless."
Following that particular day, Harry's personality underwent a dramatic transformation. He began to frequently attack and humiliate his servants and maids. One by one, they left his employment, and only Maya remained. Perhaps she held onto the hope that Harry would regain his senses and return to being the kind and compassionate young master he once was. Despite the harsh treatment she received, Maya remained loyal to Harry and continued to fulfill her duties with grace and diligence. The turmoil within Harry had caused a palpable shift in the atmosphere of the estate, as the once harmonious environment was now fraught with tension and fear. Everyone could see that Harry was spiraling out of control, but they were powerless to intervene.
As Maya glances at Harry, her heart skips a beat as she recognizes the same eyes that once saved her. However, before she can express her gratitude, Harry withdraws his arm and abruptly commands, "Just leave me alone and go away." Maya is taken aback by Harry's sudden change in demeanor and feels a pang of sadness deep within her heart. She longs to reach out to him and ask what has caused this transformation, but as she observes his current disposition, she senses that his personality has indeed undergone a significant shift.
Smith was taken aback by the sudden realization that he was no longer in control of that body, and he couldn't utter a word to Maya. His soul was racing with thoughts and emotions, but that body's lips were sealed shut, leaving him feeling powerless and frustrated. The sensation of helplessness was overwhelming, and he couldn't shake it off. As he struggled to regain control, Smith couldn't help but wonder what had caused this sudden loss of command over his physical self. Despite his confusion and fear, he remained determined to find a way to communicate with Maya and understand what was happening to him.
As Maya stepped away from the room, a sudden surge of conflicting emotions hit Harry like a ton of bricks. "Wait!" he exclaimed, "Why the fuck do I feel sympathy for this fucking bitch?" His mind was reeling as he tried to reconcile the intense hatred he felt towards Harry with the empathy he now sensed for her plight. Harry was taking stock of his surroundings and realized that his body had already been completely healed. With a wry grin, he remarked, "Well, I don't have to be thankful, I suppose. After all, it's her job to fix up the likes of me." Despite his nonchalant attitude, Harry couldn't help but feel a twinge of gratitude towards Maya for saving his life.
Smith's mind was in a state of confusion, and he let out a loud cry, "Wait! This body contains two souls within it." The realization hit him like a bolt of lightning, causing his heart to race with of fear. He couldn't comprehend the implications of what he had just discovered. How could one body contain two distinct consciousnesses? As he pondered this strange phenomenon, a sense of unease crept over him, and he couldn't shake the feeling that something was not quite right. Despite his confusion and uncertainty, Smith knew that he had stumbled upon something extraordinary, something that defied all conventional wisdom and begged to be explored further.
Smith was still reeling from shock and desperately seeking an answer to his pressing question. However, he realized he needed to temporarily shelve his inquiry and focus on his next course of action. Smith mulled over his options and concluded that he needed to head to the library. The only issue was figuring out how to get there.
All of a sudden, Harry found himself uttering the words under his breath, "I don't know why, but I feel an irresistible urge to visit the library." However, to his utter shock, he realized that he had never been fond of reading. This realization perplexed him, and he couldn't fathom why he was suddenly feeling drawn to a place that had never sparked his interest before. Despite his confusion, the desire to explore the vast shelves of books beckoned him, and he couldn't resist the temptation any longer. With a sense of curiosity bubbling within him, he made his way to the library, eager to uncover the mystery behind this newfound yearning for books.
After much contemplation, Smith realized that he possesses the power to exert his influence and persuade Harry to change his decision. With this newfound understanding, Smith is now equipped with the tools to navigate the situation and effectively communicate his thoughts and ideas to Harry. By utilizing his powers of persuasion, Smith is confident that he can make a significant impact on Harry's decision-making process and ultimately steer the outcome in the direction he desires. This revelation has given Smith a newfound sense of purpose and determination, and he is now eager to put his skills to the test and see the results of his efforts.
