"Yeah," Ace agreed, summoning DD in his appearance, pretending to be his clone. And she held the cursed wooden cane.

Lilith caught on and nodded but still ran over and wrapped her arms around clone-Ace's legs, demanding, "Come play with me."
Hearing Lilith call the clone to play with her when the real Ace was standing right there, Janice, Delores, and Elinor exchanged looks, their eyes narrowing in suspicion.
