That was... One hell of a bait and switch, and I can't say I appreciate it. At least things turned out well in the end, but man. As for the rest, I really dislike the variety of reincarnation when the new soul yeets (or, in this case, eats) the old soul from the body. That's why I appreciate Ryuu subverting that. Seems the witch is a reincarnator classic, though, and one that's already painted in an unfavorable light, at that. Guess we'll have to wait and see what the rest of her story is.
