Although after using a paintbrush to depict himself on paper.

Mia's original consciousness was accidentally preserved and was not captured into the world of the painting.

But in reality, Mia, who was originally conscious, always believed that she was the outsider who had usurped the place.

A post-natal consciousness with an elegant and serene personality and demeanor, exceptional talent, and superb painting skills.

That should be the image of Mia, the genius painter, in the eyes of others and the public, and she should not occupy that identity.

And at this point, after learning the cause and effect of this series of events...

At this point, Gu Xinghe also gained a better understanding of the reasons for the birth and emergence of the two coexisting consciousnesses within Mia's body.

If we must distinguish between these two different consciousnesses...

Gu Xinghe might refer to his more unconventional, curious, and adventurous nature as Mia.

He knew her earlier, but she was born later. Her consciousness, who loved quiet and was skilled in painting, was called Mia.

Perhaps it's because Gu Xinghe felt that Mia lacked some of the "feminine charm" that Mia possessed, so this distinction seems quite reasonable.

At this moment, Gu Xinghe also realized—

Whether it was when Ingres attacked him as a security guard at the art museum where his previous life was about to hold an exhibition.

It was last night, when they were facing Annie's impending attack.

Mia, as the original consciousness, has consistently shown a willingness to sacrifice herself, disappear, and be devoured.

Even earlier, when she and Gu Xinghe faced a dangerous attack that Annie was about to launch on the ship.

She even began to consider entrusting Mia to Gu Xinghe's care.

If Gu Xinghe hadn't used physical means to knock Mia unconscious in time, it would have been a different story.

Perhaps Mia, like in her previous life, has completely destroyed her own consciousness and then perished together with Annie.

While it might not be that he had the idea of ​​self-destruction at any time, Mia might have always harbored the thought of completely handing over this body to Mia.

As someone who was once rejected by her parents, perhaps she believed that Mia, who was recognized, admired, and loved by her family and the outside world, was the rightful successor to the artistic family that had been passed down through generations.

People only know how base and narrow-minded they are, and they feel that the world they live in is too narrow.

But in reality, it is already quite difficult to have a small world that is completely your own.

Perhaps Mia, who also said the same thing, understood Mia's thoughts as well.

That's why, when young Mia found paintbrushes in one of the storage rooms at home, she resolutely decided to use them.

For her as a young girl, there was no place of her own in the home where her father constantly forced her to study.

However, even if the world in the painting is not vast, it is still her own little world.

So what is the reason for this somewhat strange situation where Mia and Mia coexist?

Is it because there has never been a case where the subject being depicted and the depictor are the same person?

Gu Xinghe also remembered that at the time, he was not very clear about the relationship between Mia and Mia.

He then discovered that he could hear Mia's thoughts during the day, but he could not read Mia's thoughts at night.

In retrospect, the reason he couldn't read Mia's mind might be because—

Although Mia, as the original consciousness, appeared in front of him at that time.

But in reality, she was initially controlled by the paintbrush, and a part of her soul was captured into the painting.

However, she later managed to allow part of her consciousness to appear at night.

Therefore, Gu Xinghe was naturally unable to read Mia's inner thoughts, which were partially trapped in the world of the painting.

This should be considered as Mia's soul being captured into the world of the painting, but not completely captured.

After sorting out his thoughts, Gu Xinghe spoke to Mia in front of him.

"The content painted by this paintbrush is the ideal world of the subject, their ideal image."

But have you ever thought about this...?

Perhaps it is because of this ideal image you want to become that the person you hope to become is yourself.

That's why your soul wasn't completely captured in the painting, and that's why you coexist with another version of yourself in the same body.

Mia did not respond to Gu Xinghe's words.

Simply touch the painting with your fingers, stroking the delicate brushstrokes.

It seemed as if she was pondering what Gu Xinghe had said, or perhaps communicating with Mia in her current consciousness.

But perhaps, looking at Mia's life from another perspective, Mia has already truly felt the truth of what Gu Xinghe said.

Just then, Gu Xinghe heard a familiar breaking sound, as if some kind of barrier between souls had shattered.

At this moment, Gu Xinghe noticed that the figure of Mia in the painting in front of him had completely disappeared.

Only the image of the greenhouse remained as a lonely background on the drawing paper.

At this moment, Gu Xinghe felt that part of Mia's soul seemed to have completely separated from the painting and then merged with the consciousness of the body in front of him.

"Mia?"

"I'm fine. I feel that the soul consciousness that was previously residing in the painting has completely entered this body."

"Now it seems we can switch between the two of us at will?"

As she spoke, Mia kept opening and closing her left hand, as if confirming the exact situation inside her body.
