"My life... here's the story in a nutshell.
I started life as a spirit, no idea where I came from. I ended up in Assisi where I followed the group from a distance." I think. Erica pauses a bit to double-check if her story sounded about right. Not finding any faults as far as she could tell, she continued.
"Then after some stuff that I can't remember, we ended up in Rome where I joined the group, although hardly anyone who is here now was there back then.
Anyway, after a few weeks or so, something... happened. Can't quite remember what as my memories of that time are blurry at best.
I think I became comatose, or something.
When I woke up, I was in London, inside Tophat's mind and without a soul.
Tophat 'found a soul for me' and fused me to it. Thus did I become human.
Then after a few more weeks..." Erica's voice wavered when she came at the point where Relius tortured her.
She remained silent for a while.
