Earlier Today
Veyle Ombroso had a match tonight. Her parents were aware of this fact, but Veyle herself was not. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that she was half-aware. But the half of Veyle currently on the phone with her mother was not the half that was aware. "Japan has a lot of really weird food, but weird in a good way," she said through her phone's mic. "There's a lot of spicy stuff too! I'm falling in love with wasabi!"
"Why that's wonderful, dear," said Veyle's mother Zephia, but the uncaring look on her face back in Italy did not match her words. The real reason that she didn't video call her daughter, rather than the technical issues she claimed. But her face grew more interested as she got to the part of the conversation she really cared about, "By the way, have you heard about <REDACTED>"
Veyle didn't respond, but that's exactly what Zephia wanted. She went blank, until her eyes shifted from amethyst purple to blood red. Then she spoke, "Hello mother. How am I needed?" Just like that, with one magic word, Zephia had brought forth the half of Veyle that knew she had a match tonight. The evil Veyle. And when the switched back, the good, true Veyle would be none the wiser.
"Why Veyle, tonight is your match," Zephia answered.
"Of course mother," Veyle replied. "Niko Tomiji, weakling jobber extraordinaire. I'll crush her."
"Just make sure you look good for the cameras, my daughter," Zephia said before hanging up the phone. Ecstasy shot up Veyle's back as she heard what Zephia called her. She was the true daughter, the true Veyle. Not that goodie two shoes of a defect that she was forced to share a body with. Veyle then went to make her preparations.
