That... what? It seemed completely ridiculous, but in a way, it made sense... even right down to the name. It unnerved Mami, even disturbed her a bit, knowing that her soul had been ripped out of her body and she didn't even realize it.

"So the only way we can die..." In a flash, her own Soul Gem appeared, and she rolled it around through her fingers. "... Is if this is destroyed?"

Again, it made sense, as horrifying as it was. There was one moment, in that terrifying void of darkness and pain as Charlotte attacked, where she was aware of what was going on - aware of that monster's jaws clamping down on her throat and head and-- - and it only went away when she heard the faint sound of cracking glass.

Gripping her Soul Gem in a tight fist and taking a shaky breath, Mami spoke again. "What else isn't he telling us?"
