As far as I remember, Valeria has a pair of clear blue eyes, not a pair of intimidating red eyes like the 'Valeria' I see in front of me has. Aside from the color of the eyes though, another apparent difference she has is the aura surrounding her.

I know that Valeria always undergoes a drastic change of personality whenever she wears her mask, but it always stops the moment she takes the mask off. This Valeria, however, still has this unfamiliar aura surrounding her despite having taken off her mask.

"You are not Valeria—who are you?"

"Hoh? That is a quite sure statement from you," the woman resembling Valeria muses as she looks at me up and down. "Why are you so sure I am not Valeria?"

"The real Valeria will never let me call her name that lightly."

The woman resembling Valeria chuckles, before giving me an amused laughter. She has proven my guess that she is not Valeria with that, and it makes me uncomfortable.
