Chapter 74: Nexus of Causation (Rewritten)
Before her was Veliona, her red hair sprawled across the flowers below her. Although Seele’s hair color didn’t change when they switched, while within their Soul Sea, it was an obvious difference.
Veliona was wrapped by chains that ended in massive, visceral, crimson claws that were pinned to the ground. Unlike usual, she wore a short, elegant dress in shades of black and red, its dark fabric splitting at the bottom to reveal a striking red skirt adorned with intricate patterns. The material covering her chest was a soft, light grey, contrasting against the darker hues of her outfit, and just below it rested a gleaming metal ornament shaped like a pair of wings. Her forearms were wrapped in sleek black garments that extended down to her wrists, where they met a pair of vibrant red gloves that fit snugly against her hands. She also wore black boots with high heels.
Blinking in confusion, Seele wondered where the outfit and chains came from. Whenever one of them was in their Soul Sea, the other would be wearing whatever the other was wearing.
Kneeling down, Seele tried to push her awake.
"Hey. Wake up."
...There was no response.
Veliona was perfectly pinned to her position. Seele tried to pull the claws out of the ground, but nothing she tried worked.
After a few moments, Seele decided to check her runes.
