Chapter 25 Summary

Content Warning: This section discusses mental illness and disordered eating.

Layla plans out every detail of how she will “die” to get the right spirit back. Leeds hopes they can come up with another plan that doesn’t involve helping his girlfriend kill herself.

Meanwhile, Aspen and Chad come to visit again. Leeds worries that Aspen will notice the red marks on Layla’s wrists where she had been tied to the bed. Later, when Layla is not in the room, Aspen tells Leeds that Layla seems happier than before and that the trip must have been good for her. Leeds agrees, but he’s worried about Sable slipping into her body while Aspen and Chad are there and causing trouble.

Later that evening, Chad jumps into the pool unexpectedly, and the splash startles Layla so much that Sable slips in and takes over. She immediately begins screaming and accusing Leeds of tying her up and drugging her. The lapse lasts only a minute, but it's long enough for Aspen to worry about her sister and not trust Leeds. When Layla returns to her body, she tries to say her accusations were a joke, but Aspen is suspicious.

That night, Layla tells Leeds that she wants to carry out their plan tonight: She wants Leeds to help her drown in the pool, then call for help in time to revive her.
