"Why did you two just freeze suddenly?"
Looking at Maria as she asked this question, I was about to dig the ground to hide my head.
How the hell did it get reverted?!
I tried once again to channel Essence through my hair and eyes. But no matter how often I tried, it reverted back within a second.
"It's not that bad," Maria said, narrowing her eyes as she regarded us, "...or are both of your faces unappealing?"
"Tsk,"
It's not working at all, and this AI mask has become useless to me.
Does this door affect artifacts?
I turned to Ruby, watching as the mask she once wore mysteriously slipped from her face, no matter how many times she attempted to fasten it back on. The result was always the same.
"Stop hiding your faces; your identity means nothing to me," Maria said, her tone icy and unforgiving.
I can't do that.
If she finds out who I really am, then…
"You still don't trust me, huh?" Her icy tone echoed once again. "I understand… I've been there too."
