"Host, that Lisa woman is dead." 008 reported flatly.
"Good work, 008, for finding that Beast Attracting Talisman," Kisha said calmly, though there was a subtle shift in her demeanor. Something felt different, but she couldn't quite place it.
"Host, I only found and purchased the talisman, but you were the one who secretly put it on Lisa—disguising it with an Invincible Talisman so she wouldn't notice. The wicked woman got exactly what she deserved!" 008 said, voice tinged with indignation.
"You seem to really hate her?" Kisha teased, an amused smile playing on her lips.
"Of course I do, Host!" 008 exclaimed. "If I had bound with you just a second later, the process would've failed. You would've died right there and become just another mindless zombie. I'd have been forced to find a new host or be sent back to my Constellation. That means—no second chances for you to restart your life."
