It took Aria a while to fall asleep. She tossed and turned as she felt restless for the whole night. After all, she had harvested a total of 167 souls after the dysentery outbreak in the village. According to Necronomicon, that should be more than enough to grant her an audience with Madam Harsetti.
'But what if Madam Harsetti refused to meet me because I've failed her regarding the Saintess?'
The fear of being abandoned by the Great Witch gnawed inside Aria's heart.
Thus, she prayed to the Great Witch in her heart, 'Madam Harsetti, please accept me back. There is a burning vengeance inside my heart, and I will not rest until I get what I want! I will trade my soul—everything I have as long as I can be a witch once more!'

Aria fell asleep after her prayer, and it didn't take long for her to hear someone with a sarcastic voice calling her name.
"Open your eyes, little girl."
