Sometimes innocuous secrets are the most important ones. Especially since it's not like we have to then tell these secrets to other people. [ but he tilts his head. ] Can I ask why only three people though...?
Two of them have gone through a similar situation to I and thus understand. Everyone else believes a false truth which, is true in a sense but also not mine.
i'm sorry. he's staring and he's just. taking a second. ]
...are you actually. Who you're presenting yourself as?
[ sometimes you have seen a lot of people get possessed by ghosts and jump straight to other conclusions. ]
It's just the way you say things sometimes, and having to keep up a false narrative for everybody else and I just...you know what, never mind. It probably doesn't matter.
[ he... blinks in mild surprise. oh. jonas figured him out. sqq makes a ping pong, you won! noise. congrats on unlocking your second secret ]
Who I once was no longer matters as they no longer exist. Who this one is now is a peak lord of high standing thus must always remember to present themselves as such.
[ that's a small private smile though. ] Though sometimes even I forget myself.
[ my stupid ass who has modded for you and still doesn't entirely get sqq's deal. jonas also looks surprised suddenly that he was actually onto something.
and promptly decides never to tell anyone ever. ]
...huh. [ curious. very, very curious. he's a little wary because possession is still a trigger for him, but at the same time he does have questions. maybe it's not even possession? it's hard to say. ] Can I...like. Ask? How something like this happened to you.
[ ohhh my god. somehow it keeps getting more surprising but there is zero hiding the fact he's very interested in what is going on here. also, this explains nothing and jonas's face seems to say as much. ]
Sounds like a reverse reincarnation sort of thing.

"My favorite novel ended so poorly it dragged me in to fix the plots holes but as the villain character"
[ there. now it sounds like a proper isekai novel title ]

Okay. Never mind, this is actually worse. [ HOW. ] Y'know I've heard reading is magic and all, but that's sort of drastic. Why you? Why the villain?
[ "wait, are you evil? hold on." ]
