A tense silence filled the atmosphere as Tessa stared at Corey without saying anything even after all that he said.
Corey's expression was neutral and void of any emotion, but hidden in his eyes was a sharpness that was slowly showing its edge the longer Tessa remained silent.
After a long thirty seconds of silence, Tessa finally released a sigh.
"Her soul is very weak and fragile, and I'm trying to nurture her soul so that it won't die. Whenever we switch, we use a part of our soul's strength. Although it's miniscule, her soul is very weak and if she switches, she would use up all the soul energy I've poured into her and it would be very difficult for her to switch back to me."
"She would also be extremely weak after she switches, and she would also be vulnerable. To tell you how weak she is, normally, we have random conversations, but now she can't even speak to me because she's too weak."
