Daisy's eyes widened at the comparison, her breath catching in her throat. She could see now how much pain and anger Lady West had been feeling all this time, that it was only because she herself had never known love or acceptance that she had acted so cruelly towards others. Perhaps there was hope for Lady West after all; a chance for redemption if only someone would give her the opportunity to learn and grow.

"I... I understand," Daisy said slowly, nodding solemnly. "

Daisy took a deep breath, her resolve strengthening. "Thank you," she said sincerely. "I won't let you down; I promise to do everything in my power to make Lady West into the kind and loving person that she could have been." With those words, Daisy bowed deeply to Hadaf Gg once more, her heart filled with gratitude and determination.

As the amulet connects with her chest once more, Lady West howls in agony, her body going limp beneath Ray's weight. With a final shudder, she writhes one last time before going still, defeated. Her breath comes in ragged gasps as she tries to catch it; her vision blurs and fades, replaced by the warmth of Daisy's body and the cold metal of the amulet against her skin.

"What... happened?"

Dazed, Lady West tries to make sense of the events that transpired. The pain... it was unlike anything she'd ever felt before. But even through her disbelief and confusion, a small part of her wonders if this means she can finally be free from the curse that has plagued her for so long. As she continues to catch her breath, she realizes that something feels different; the weight on her chest isn't as heavy anymore.

jannik sat down at his workbench, pulling out a variety of materials and beginning to assemble the starlight quartz ring

"Daisy, what do you mean by 'there are ways to separate our souls'?"

jannik asked curiously, already absorbed in his work

"I don't know much about it yet, but I think there might be a way to split the two souls apart,"

Daisy replied nervously, trying not to reveal too much

"But first, we need to make sure Lady West doesn't get her hands on me again."*

"By keeping her distracted while I build the ring," Daisy said quietly. jannik nodded

"It'll take several days to finish." *
