He didn't know that the red paper also had his birth details, which I had written with the erasable pen when no one was home.
But just having the birth details wasn't enough. It also needed a bit of Ethan's scent. Now, it was perfect. Our scents were on the red paper.
Next, Mia held a pair of scissors and said she wanted to cut my hair, explaining that it would make the prayer for my safety more effective.
In reality, Sofia had told me that strands of hair were one of the mediums for life transfer.
I tried to confuse the source of the hair, saying, "There's plenty of hair on the floor. Just use the fallen ones."
The hair on the floor wasn't just mine. If she wanted to use hair, then she could use hair from all three of us.
Just as I bent down to cut the hair, Ethan stopped me, saying, "Honey, the hair cut from your head is the most effective."
He was quite cautious, but it didn't matter. I had prepared in advance.
I pouted reluctantly. After Ethan coaxed me a bit, I finally pulled out the braid I had prepared and cut it off.
Mia's eyes lit up when she saw the cut hair. She immediately took it and wrapped it with a red string.
