This spirit begged her to save them, but did little else until it followed Liyun, as a nightmare, into [[Kilahito]], where it found Painter and [[Connection|Connected]] them, in an attempt to protect her from having her memories erased. This worked, but had the unintended consequence of making them switch bodies, with Painter waking up in her body, and her waking up without a physical form.{{book ref|yumi|40}} This was not an intentional side-effect, but simply a consequence of messing with Connection.{{book ref|yumi|40}}
Painter took on her form, though she could only see his true form. She quickly became stressed and humiliated as Painter showed a blatant disregard for any ritual. She came to assume that the spirits were in some way trying to punish her. This humiliation and desperation quickly turned into ire, and she exploded into a violent harangue.{{book ref|yumi|8}}{{book ref|yumi|9}} In response to her diatribe, Painter explained that he was a person, and she quickly theorized that the spirits sent him to her to help her save them.{{book ref|yumi|9}}
Upon her soul going into Painter's body, her high levels of Investiture caused the body to quickly morph to match her Cognitive Aspect, causing it to match her own body.{{book ref|yumi|11}}{{book ref|yumi|17}} She was not aware of this at first, believing it was an instance similar to Painter in her body, wherein they simply saw themselves as themselves, while everyone who saw them saw the other. This was proven wrong when she answered the door to Foreman [[Sukishi]], and he reacted with shock seeing a woman in Painter's room. Under Painter's direction, she informed him that he was sick, and of the stable [[nightmare]] he found before his first switch.{{book ref|yumi|11}}
