[Day 45]

Today was the day… time to help her tame the mold.

Unlike other days, Benladann didn't wake up as cheerful… I know how she might feel, but this is for your best.

After we had breakfast, we were kind of ready…

”Ready?” I asked her.

”Hmm…” she muttered, nodding. She was glancing at the floor while being a bit concerned.

She's nervous.

I can see her hands trembling… Come on, I thought we got already through that…

No, I have to be more comprehensible. Alright, let's calm her down again.

”Don't worry, you're not alone here,” I said.

Benladann stopped trembling, as she glanced at my eyes.

”Drake… Will you… stay at my side? Even if… Eve if… I become a bad girl?” she asked.

”Bad girl? What are you talking about?” I asked.

”Before we start training… there's something I need to tell you… Abut my powers- No, about the Mold…” said Benladann, sitting over my arm and hugging my shoulder.

It seems that she was opening a bit more…

I knew there was something else that this Mold was other than a parasitic alien-like thing.

”…Okay, I will listen to you, and I won't judge you, feel free to tell me,” I said.

”Really?” she asked.

”Of course… Who am I to judge anyway?” I asked.

”Drake…” she muttered, as she contained little tears coming from her beautiful golden eyes.

”You see… there's something within this Mold… It is not simply a thing, but it's an individual… It has… a mind of its own…” she said.

”A mind… of its own?”

Benladann then began to explain to me a few things… things I never actually thought could be possible with her powers.

To resume things out, her Mold has a personality, and it is also ”intelligent”.

Yeah… And the worst part is that things entity, this personality, was formed by copying her own and twisting it around through the Mold's contained feelings of frustration, anger, and despise to all things due to how it was tortured and forced to become a laboratory specimen.

Benladann said that this entity calls herself Miranda, and it says to be her twin sister.

She is manipulative and has a destructive personality, while also being incredibly jealous and possessive, unlike the real Benladann.

This entity was the one that maintained her caged into a sea of darkness, while it took over her body and made her into the Mold Legion.

I suppose it helped her survive but… this wasn't really the way to do it.

I guess I can't argue with a parasitic alien-like creature, it simply has a completely different thought process than us, a completely different mentality, and thoughts, it is more complex, yet it is not… well, you get it.

This entity tried to conceal Benladann's memories of her parents, the very memories that made her heal a bit of her mental damage and become better and happier, it forced her to forget about them and to go back to her mentality in her previous life.
