Chapter 1918

It felt as if the once-still, bottomless lake had begun to ripple. Frozen time started moving again. Benjamin's world of black and white was finally filled with color. Only now he felt all the emotions in his memories, coming from "Benjamin's" feelings toward Shannon. As he stared at her, his dark eyes trembled ever so slightly. And if one looked closely, one could see a rare, long-lost warmth flickering within them. Right now, Shannon didn't notice it at all. Her gaze was fixed on the golden band that had suddenly appeared around her wrist. She could sense that the consciousness within the contract power came from the two of them. But right now, she had no time to ponder how it came about, despite feeling confused. Benjamin had invoked their past identity as a couple to help her, and now was not the time to get distracted. Seeing that she remained unmoved, Benjamin opened his mouth and was about to speak when Louise's voice cut in once more. This time, she was talking to Thalia.
