After achieving his goal, Anse Lofi dumped Hia, the woman known as the most demonic witch.
Anse admitted that he had deceived her feelings and used her. But he believed he had always been careful throughout their relationship, walking on eggshells at every moment, and that nothing between them had ever crossed the line.
“So, don’t you think turning me into a girl is going a bit too far?”
That wasn’t even the worst part. The real problem was that after he had been turned into a little cake anyone could squish and knead, the witches he had betrayed all came knocking:
The avenger who had once shared in his crimes wanted her to become her accomplice once more, and drink deep of blood.
The caged bird, singing out in sorrow, hoped she would return to her side and take her away.
The queen who had ascended the throne commanded her to come praise this flawless kingdom and share in eternity.
They hate her, yet still can’t let her go? They never learn their lesson.
They know it’s poison, yet drink it; they know it’s thorny, yet pluck it... Even when they are betrayed a second time in the end, they still regard this love as sweet nectar.
Betrayal, deception, using people... I’m this awful, so why do people still throw themselves at me without a second thought?
“Of course, I love them.”
“It’s just that I love myself more.”
