(EP-160.1) Night #1
160 – Day and Night #1
“Theo, how much of what I’m about to say can you believe?”
Narmi seriously asked.
There were only the two of us in my dorm. The only thing I could hear in the room was my squirrel companion, as Narmi’s lips glistened under the dim illumination-.
━Keongkeong.
Suddenly, everything resonated with my five senses.
I tried to remain calm and replied.
“What are you saying? What do you mean by that? Of course, I can believe everything you say.”
“Then, from now on, listen carefully to what I’m about to say. I’ve come here after sparing some time.”
Narmi was very nervous.
In my bizarre experience of having lived two lives, the words spoken by those who hesitated like this were usually important.
Knowing that, I also became nervous.
“I’m ready to listen. Feel free to start when you’ve gathered your thoughts.”
“Well, this is about my sister.”
“About Mirna-nim?”
I was anxious. I wondered if Narmi had noticed that Mirna and I had become somewhat closer.
“What about your sister?”
“My sister, Mirna, is breaking a lot of rules lately…!”
Narmi looked vexed.
She had the same face as Mirna, but expressed different emotions. It felt like she was just deceiving me by playing two roles. I still couldn’t get used to it.
Hiding those feelings, I calmly asked.
“That’s terrible to hear. May I ask what the rules are?”
“It’s our sisterly rules…! Blood rules that have been established between us…! We have to follow them no matter what happens. But she’s not doing that…!”
“For now, let’s sit and calm down for a bit. Then you can explain it to me.”
I made the agitated Narmi sit on the bed. At the same time, I could roughly understand what was going on.
The Draco twins.
Narmi and Mirna shared one body.
I didn’t know if it was dual personality or dissociative identity disorder.
But based on my recent interactions, they were quite literally two souls inhabiting one body.
So, it was different from dual personality or dissociative identity disorder. But if someone were to ask for further clarification, I would find it difficult to explain.
Maybe it was closer to conjoined twins.
Since they were born sharing one body, it was understandable that they had rules between each other.
Even when I was using the shared computer at the orphanage, there were many rules and regulations to follow. Not to mention sharing a body.
Especially when it came to endangering yourself.
Narmi, who seemed to have finally calmed down, slowly started speaking.
“My sister’s up during the day while it’s my turn at night. Hence why I’m guarding the family cemetery.”
I remembered the day I went to the Draco Family Mansion at Mirna’s invitation. Late that night, Narmi had indeed been guarding the family cemetery alone.
I even remembered playing chess with Narmi because she seemed lonely.
“During the day, Mirna handles difficult tasks appropriate for daytime. While I get free reign as I guard the cemetery at night. But recently, there’s been a problem…!”
“A problem?”
“Since the cemetery disappeared, my sister now wants to take control at night too. The night is my time. It seems like she’s mistakenly thinking she’s the only one in this body.”
Narmi looked very angry. It reminded me of the hoggers that wouldn’t get off the computer despite it being someone else’s turn.
Past memories briefly crossed my mind, but instead of smiling from the nostalgia, I decided to sympathize with her feelings.
“Indeed, that sounds like a significant issue.”
“It’s a huge problem…!”
“But if you don’t mind me asking, what is Lady Mirna doing right now?”
“She’s sleeping. She’s finally tired after being awake every night instead of me. Hmph!”
Basically, Narmi was discontented with her sister, who had been mostly taking control of the body recently.
Narmi was probably telling me this because I was the only one who knew of her identity, and had no one else to trust but me.
However, it did feel a bit odd hearing someone gossiping about another with the same face as her…
