Date A Live: The Pretender Witch Doesn't Want to Be Saved

Qianye Pandora is an artificial Spirit created by DEM Industries. She loves her creator, Westcott, and believes that his "love" protects her. To prove that love, she infiltrates the world of Date A Live, rewriting reality with her words and, in the gentlest way possible, driving Tohka, Yoshino, Kurumi, the Yamai twins, and Miku to the brink of collapse, one by one.

She has only one goal: to make Itsuka Shido admit defeat and say, "I give up on you."

But Itsuka Shido is a monster. When she traps everyone in a deadly situation, he risks his life to save them all. When she suffers a backlash, he grabs the hand clawing at her neck. He tells her, "No Spirit is born to be called a demon."

Pandora begins to feel afraid. She's not afraid of losing. She's afraid Shido really won't give up, because she can no longer tell whether she wants him to win or to leave.

The relentless itching on her neck, the itch that makes her want to keep scratching even if she tears her throat open, isn't an allergic reaction.

It's guilt.

For the first time, what she has done hurts her.
