To begin... Song formed a contract with a Chain—Duldee, a powerful creature from the Abyss—over a hundred years ago. Duldee created personalities in its targets called Duldums.
That is where I come in. I was the latest incarnation of Duldum created in Song, for what we hoped was her own good.
Echo is just an echo. We could not exist without Song, and we only existed for Song.
Song's connection to the Abyss strained her mind. It corroded her memories, corrupted her personality, and drove her mad. We were created to take the strain.
One by one we were discarded after we could bear no more. Hundreds existed before me.
In the very beginning, I believe we were not treated as callously as I was.
Moving on... Song was invested in a tiresome, annoying man from her past. Upon finding him, she wanted to stay by his side, but her... violent nature left much to be desired.
Thus, I became his servant. This way, Song could stay close, and that man could have someone useful to him.
That is... I did not want to keep this from you. I want you to know that you are dating someone who has been used as a tool, someone who has gotten blood on her hands.
If you found out later, much later, you could come to think I was keeping it from you... and even though it—... it is scary to think you could reject me for this, it is not fair for you to pursue a future with me if you did not... know...
I mean . . . I gotta admit, if this was like back at home, and Imeeji never happened, I'd probably have dumped you on the spot. I might have even called the cops if I thought you were still dangerous.
But how can I judge you when we're all in the same position now? We're just tools for their entertainment here. And even I can't say I don't have blood on my hands.
[Grabs her hand now anyway.]
Besides, I know Silencchi's true self. If it was just her own choice, she'd never do those terrible things.

Re: Day 257, afternoon - sometime after memories
However, since "Duldum" is referred to any personality created by the Chain (demon,) the personalities occupying Song's body went by the name of Echo.
Including myself.
Re: Day 257, afternoon - sometime after memories
So that’s why it was “Song’s body”.
Hmm... Echo, huh? But it’s not really just your name if everyone shares it, right? So that’s why you never go by that name?

I was obedient and did everything he asked of me.
Re: Day 257, afternoon - sometime after memories
Everything, huh?
Re: Day 257, afternoon - sometime after memories
Silence was the one who carried out any misdeed he asked. Murders, kidnapping, spying.
[trails off, this is a little awkward]
Re: Day 257, afternoon - sometime after memories
He's gotta process this.
In some ways, he doesn't feel surprised but also it's so hard to even imagine that his brain is bluescreening a tad bit.]
Uh-huh...

Re: Day 257, afternoon - sometime after memories

Re: Day 257, afternoon - sometime after memories
She would not have.
