My sister, who died in an accident, moved into my body and shared it with me.
At first, my parents didn't believe me.
Later, they got used to our souls switching.
Eventually, they found a hypnotist to erase my existence.

I went crazy and smashed everything movable in the house.
Countless fragments on the floor were like the cries for help from my soul.
Mom covered her mouth, face streaked with tears, while Dad looked angry but didn't stop me.
I screamed at them: "Why? This is my body! Why should I give it to her?"
Dad rubbed his forehead, as if making a determination: "We consulted a psychologist. It's not sustainable for you and Chloe to go on like this. Neither of you can live properly, so we can only erase one of you.
"Mom and Dad are also in pain. You are our daughter too. If there were any other way, we wouldn't make this decision. You have to understand Mom and Dad."
I grabbed the cup by my hand and smashed it at Dad's feet.
Broken glass splashed everywhere. Dad instinctively took a step back, wanting to scold me but stopped when he remembered what he was asking of me.
"I understand you, but who understands me? You are in pain, you have no choice, so why should I die? This is my body originally. If anyone should disappear, it should be Chloe Miller."
Anger and despair enveloped me. I couldn't understand how my parents, who doted on me just a few days ago, now wanted to erase me.
Hearing my words, Mom choked with sobs, but Dad frowned and corrected me dissatisfiedly: "What dying or not dying? Your sister will live for you using your body. Whether you agree or not, this matter is settled."
After speaking, Dad had no patience to deal with me anymore and dragged Mom out of the house directly.
I smashed things again and then slumped weakly on the ground, three words repeating constantly in my mind.
Why?
