6 A simple plastic pool is so powerful

Fernanda remained on the beach until the sun disappeared.

At night and alone, she began to reflect on the events she faced in recent years.

It had been a gamble to trust Sumé. The bet, even though it was unreal, ended up positively realized.

The "work" that Fernanda carried out for 100 years consisted of capturing, eliminating and supervising supernatural beings. During this period, he ended up finding unique stories of reincarnates. In that way, the fact that she could really be human again, filled her with joy.

Sumé had not deceived her.

After confirming a few more times, she started working hard.

Fernanda's dedication exceeded her capacity, ending up earning unpleasant injuries and curses like accidents at work. Learning from mistakes, she developed techniques and a restricted order of factors when facing supernatural beings - which provided a continuous increase in the number of tasks completed.

Until, due to his high success rate, Sumé gained confidence in dumping all his work to Fernanda.

Without complaints, she accepted everything she could handle.

In the end, 100 years was enough to access his "only wish".

When the monastery bells rang this day, Fernanda was anxious.

She was not insensitive as Ceuci believes.

Ceuci could continually complain about his inability to express emotions, although this is not entirely true.

Fernanda remained quiet without questioning or responding to Ceuci's demands for a singular reason.

[Organizational behavior]

The first rule she developed was "the boss is always right".

And it drove her crazy.

To work with high success rates, Fernanda developed specific work values. Sumé was not a good teacher and she had to learn from her mistakes.

What Sumé considered "small details", was what allowed Fernanda to keep her life. The first time it happened seemed like luck, the second she suspected and the third time that "a little detail" saved her life, she started to follow Sumé's words faithfully.

Constantly acting under "labor risks", daily involved in physical and verbal attacks with other supernatural beings which she was in charge of, Fernanda had her emotional intelligence compromised.

She knew what was wrong with her.

And the one who continued to claim to be her "only friend" had not realized what afflicted Fernanda.

Without help, the problem increased and his face froze like a beautiful painting, expressing a poker face continuously...

Awkwardly, Fernanda was unable to express all the thanks she wanted for Sumé and Ceuci.

For now, he started to believe that everything would be fine as long as he remained in his "organizational culture". It worked for decades, what could go wrong?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Like a resentful ghost, Fernanda was well behaved for those she considers friends.

***

The hot water in a hotel's bathtub was his first sensation when he got his body back alive.

For her reincarnation ritual, Fernanda had imagined it as something great. The reality was…

Really pitiful.

It was just a plastic pool.

Sumé had the courage to say that he prepared meticulously for ten years.

Fernanda dived in the pool and arrived in another one… and that's it.

Like a ghost, the imaginary body she wore was physically like her real body - unfortunately, it is just an empty balloon, unable to capture bodily sensations of smell and taste like an ordinary human being.

Not knowing what time in her life she is now. He remained in the bathtub, capturing all the information he could, while continuing to enjoy every touch of water on his skin.

It was comfortable.

Sumé's last words guaranteed Fernanda a surprise. She had prepared herself mentally, that the strength and powers she had as a resentful ghost would disappear when she was human again, yet Sumé gave her word about the "power of her plastic pool".

To guarantee the quality of the ritual, he had stolen a "certain water". Fernanda decided to return this favor when she regained all her power.

Everything was fine, until the pain started.

An uneven pain that started and ended abruptly in his body. Just to start again.

Hate!

Rage!

Grudge!

Extremely strong feelings invaded your mind as your suppressed memories were brought.

Until she managed to calm her mind, Fernanda remained shaking in the bathtub. Tears streamed down his face and mixed with the water in the bathtub as they streamed down his body.

The memory of the fire burning his body, made his skin burn.

He had to embrace his naked body and feel it to bring his mind to reality.

It was just an illusion.

He had gotten everything he wanted back.

A young and healthy body.

Without spot.

Innocent.

Fool.

Fernanda dived into the bathtub waiting for her emotions to calm down.

She could entertain your mind with her work, but she hasn't forgotten the reasons for what she is now.

A ghost.

Live or dead, grudges are permanent.

My old self would listen to your rationality in silence.

The 100 years of performing unconventional tasks, turned a child into an irrational woman and committed to her desires.

Fernanda's mind was open to countless possibilities to live in a "pleasant" way.

***

On the deserted beach, a small smile appeared on his lips.

If it were Sumé with Fernanda, he would be sure that somewhere, a specific person would suffer a lot.
