My hands trembled as I felt them make contact with my skin. I winced, then rubbed them away."
 "The pleasant heat from the kiss quickly spread throughout my body and I lost control again. My arms, my legs, even my face felt warm."
think "I'm Mina...{w} I'm Mina."
 "That was, of course, referring to the fact that I now possessed her. However, I didn't care one bit."
 "I was John."
 "And I was {i}pretty{/i} sure I {i}was{/i} Mina. Or at least close enough."
think "That wasn't the best way to phrase it, though. {q}Pretty sure{/q}."
think "Wait, what exactly did {q}Pretty sure{/q} mean? Were you... enjoying this?"
john "No! H-He's not that kind of guy!"
john "If he finds out about us, he's going to kill us both!"
 "I knew exactly what he was talking about. I had felt that way the entire time, during the kiss, when he stuck his tongue inside mine."
 "And it was all because I didn't resist."
 "Even after I had blushed and confessed to him, I was still very much myself."
think "And I'm with [$magicmina_philaname] in this one. We made a pact, we're not breaking it any more."
 "I knew exactly what he was talking about. I had felt that way the entire time, during the kiss, when he stuck his tongue inside mine."
 "And it was all because I didn't resist."
 "I even allowed myself to be kissed... by him."
 "I was blushing so hard I almost dropped the spellbook, and we exchanged a few vows."
john "You'll find it in your hands--"
phila "I do!"
 "And within moments a door slammed shut on both of us."
phila "I promise that he won't ever find out what happened to you--"
phila "Just like that!"
 "I felt relief. I hadn't expected [$magicmina_philaname] to be so confident in her own abilities."
 "Not only that, but, looking at him, he did look a bit... happy."
think "I guess he's used to being the one, so he doesn't need to feel pressured into something he doesn't want to."
think "Though, how long will he be {q}the one?{/q} It doesn't really matter now. I have one more spellbook level to get to."
think "I guess if I wanted to get a bit more practice in, I could try to get my hands on one of his copies of the spellbook, and see how far I can push my knowledge."
 "With a heavy heart I stepped into the school infirmary."
 "Patients would often come in for minor ailments, and, despite my repetition, no one cared enough to call me out on it."
 "I wasn't sure what {q}minor{/q} meant, but I figured I'd just lie here until someone figured out what {i}was{/i} causing all these problems."
 "I was thankful that nobody came in to see me. Not even a nurse."
think "Well, that way I don't have to pretend to be Mina to get through the hospital, and get patched up."
 "I was thankful that nobody would even think about me. It was almost like they knew me, somehow."
think "Well, they're still my friends, so I guess they don't really have too much sway over me..."
think "Well, maybe that's why [$magicmina_philaname] turned me down. Maybe if I joined them, things would get even better for them."
 "I was thankful that nobody had any ulterior motives in this, though."
 "With that, I made my way out of the infirmary and straight to the bedroom. [$magicmina_philaname] had insisted that I
