Plot Synopsis

Afflicted by a terrible fever during her childhood, the future villainess Remilia finds herself replaced by the reincarnator "Emi", regaining consciousness in a dark void with only a window through which to view her replacement's life. While initially frustrated by this, Remilia comes to love Emi through viewing her memories and actions, and when Emi is framed by the story's heroine and betrayed by everyone she loves, causing her to go dormant in despair, Remilia resurfaces to take revenge and make the world a better place for when Emi returns.

How is it plural?

Throughout the story, Remilia positions herself as a quintessential protector, and while the majority of the story follows her on her own due to Emi's dormancy, her actions are consistently driven by both vengeance against the people who wronged them, and making the world a place in which Emi can live happily. The early chapters of the story also include visual and descriptive representations of headspace, co-consciousness, and memory and communication barriers.
