Who is this?
The girl who has my face?
Can that be me? Lina wondered, looking at the girl who looked exactly like her. Could that ever be me?
Who is the real
girl?
Which one of us in Lina Inverse? And which is the shadow?
I stare at her eyes
watching her stare at me.
Ruby eyes locked on ruby eyes, trying to find the secrets of the other girl. Trying to see who the other is.
I always thought I
am a
good
girl,
until I saw
the stranger with
my face.
I am the sorceress supreme, the lovely Lina Inverse, she told herself.
The girl who looked back at her wasn't that. She was the Bandit Killer. The Dra Matta. Enemy of All Who Live.
But who is the stranger,
Am I really just the Dra Matta?
and who is familiar?
Or am I something more?
I turn away from the
mirror,
thinking,
Lina looked away from the mirror, thinking to herself.
Am I her?
Or is she me?
Who am I?
Am I
her?
The Dra Matta? The Bandit Killer?
Or...
Or am I something else?
Is she
me?
Am I...?
Yes.
I am... Lina Inverse.
