Kami cursed, as a wave of insanity swept through her mind. One of the most important rules of being psychic is not to connect your mind to insane people. Insanity is like a fire, and one shouldn't get too close to it, or you run the risk of getting burned. She formed a mental barrier, protecting her from the madness that was now eating away at Ellysia's mind to some extent. However, she had rooted herself too deeply in Ellysia's mind. A minute longer, and she would have been in control. She was completely unprepared for this attack, and now she had to pay the price for her sloppyness.
Kami had to get the other girl out. She herself couldn't leave, esspecially not in the confusing haze of insanity. The only way to survive this ordeal with her brain intact would be to kick Ellysia out of this body in one, fell swoop. It would be the first time Kami had performed such a manoeuver, and the risk was high. Kami had no idea how Ellysia's soul would react to the jolt, and it might end up killing them both. However, Kami had seen what insanity could do to a person, explored the broken wreck of the minds that were left behind by madness. She would do anything to avoid such a fate. Gripped with uncharacteristic fear, Kami pushed against Ellysia's soul with all her might, focusing the sheer mental power of every spider in the cathedral into this one, fell strike. The soul did not shatter, but moved, as Kami focused to an extent she had never been forced to focus before, her mind aching for reprieve.

Kami opened her eyes, smiling. She had succeeded. She breathed in, and fresh air filled her lungs, her body aching from the aftereffects of the technique. It hurt, but the pain was beautiful. It reminded her that she was still alive, still sane. The image of the soldiers slowly starting to move again, recovering from their stasis, was the most beautiful sight Kami had ever seen. She made a mental image of it, storing it in a special place in her mind. Kami would forever remember this as the moment that she had won, the point at which she had defeated her greatest fear. Elation was the word of the moment, and Kami deeply despised the small nagging feeling at the back of her mind that ruihned the moment that should have been perfect. What was wrong here? Kami looked down, and found that her shoes had changed. Then realization struck, as Kami looked to the side. There, her very own body was staring back at her in disbelief. "Oh fuck."
