Lige is the product of the pact made by [[Jefuty]] and [[Lusica]] in the timelines predating the main story of [[Reverse Collapse: Code Name Bakery]]. Her mind is a version of Jefuty who was preserved between timelines, injected into the body of Lusica (due to Lusica being a [[Shrike]], her consciousness is retained even at cellular level). Lusica's mind remains in the body, but allows Jefuty to take control as part of their pact, so the final setup is as follows during playable timelines:
Lige is the product of the pact made by [[Jefuty]] and [[Lusica]] in the timelines predating the main story of [[Reverse Collapse: Code Name Bakery]]. Her mind is a version of Jefuty who was preserved between timelines, injected into the body of Lusica (due to Lusica being a [[Shrike]], her consciousness is retained even at cellular level). Lusica's mind remains in the body, but allows Jefuty to take control as part of their pact. By taking control of Lusica's body, the Jefuty from the earlier timeline (under the identity of Lige) aims to guide the Jefuty from later timelines, in order to create a timeline where [[Mendo]] survives and mankind isn't destroyed by [[Relic Technology]]. At the end of Operation Bakery, Lusica would then take back control of her body. Using her ability to shapeshift, she would pose as Jefuty and go to Antarctica and live her life in her place. Meanwhile, the real Jefuty would surrender to [[William]], who would perform his world-ending Relic experiments on her instead of Lusica. But because Jefuty would have already lost the ability to connect with Relics, William would fail and the world (and more importantly for Jefuty, Mendo) would be spared from destruction. Jefuty's only condition to the pact was that, before Lusica took back control of her body, she would be able to say her goodbyes to Mendo.<ref name=C51 />
*Lusica's Shrike body from the present timeline: controlled by the mind of Jefuty from pre-game timelines. Also subject to remote control from the Shrike Progenitor. The mind of Lusica from the present timeline is dormant until the end of operation Bakery.
*Jefuty's body from the present timeline: controlled by the Jefuty from the present timeline. Contains the dormant mind of the Lusica from earlier timelines. At the end of opreation Bakery, the two minds swap control over the body.
 
By taking control of Lusica's body, the Jefuty from the earlier timeline (under the identity of Lige) aims to guide the Jefuty from later timelines, in order to create a timeline where [[Mendo]] survives and mankind isn't destroyed by [[Relic Technology]]. For this conclusion to be reached, Jefuty must surrender her own body to Lusica's mind at the end of [[operation Bakery]], so that Lusica can stop [[William]] from taking control of the Relics.<ref name=C51 />
 
As a result, after operation Bakery, there are two active instances of Lusica's mind in the final timeline (one controlling her original body, and one controlling Jefuty's body), and no active instances of Jefuty's mind. This is the nature of Jefuty's sacrifice.

After successfully pushing back the Werewolves and Sugar in Mineral Water City, the AU force retreated to the air field to wait for transport White Crane I, but were again attacked by Sugar, who assumed the massive form of a Reflection of the Progenitor. During the battle, Lige gradually lost control over her body to Lusica, who had proclaimed that the “day of chance” had come. Lusica promised to preserve Lige's consciousness and memories.<ref>{{cite|rc|Chapter 5, Act 2}}</ref> With the help of air bombardment from Mustang 6, the AU force entered the Reflection of the Progenitor's body to destroy it from the inside.

With the transport aircraft approaching and the AU forces alive, Jefuty had to conclude her pact by giving up her body to Lusica. Under the pretense of letting Jefuty say her goodbyes to the Caucasus, Lige (now Lusica) took Mendo away and enabled Jefuty to escape.<ref name=C53>{{cite|rc|Chapter 5, Act 3}}</ref>
With the transport aircraft approaching and the AU forces alive, Jefuty had to conclude her pact and surrender to William. After leaving Mendo some parting words, Jefuty excused herself under the pretense of making her goodbyes to the Caucasus and met with Lusica, now back in control of her body. Lusica took Jefuty's appearance, and the real Jefuty went away to surrender to William. To complete the illusion, Lusica had already created a clone of herself in the form of Lige to keep Mendo away.<ref name=C53>{{cite|rc|Chapter 5, Act 3}}</ref>
