Rae honestly couldn't describe her feelings once she knew she had a lover especially when she had no memories of him. But once she saw his picture, it was finally proven why she felt home. He saved her before and she can't forget that blue hair flow unforgettable in her head. It was a picture of them both, seemingly he fell asleep on the table as if he was waiting for her to finish her work. His hand was holding on to hers while her other hand was writing. Sorano did tell her a little bit about him and his past.

Apparently, he was once controlled by Dark Magic to go berserk but now he's repenting his sins by finding Crime Sorcière, that's where he knew Sorano. It's an independent guild at first as a redemption for the crimed the committed before but now, it had been granted amnesty by the Queen. Rae even played a huge role in that guild since she constantly helped them out by giving out information about Dark Guilds she received in Magic Council conferences. 'Overpower couple', that's what Sorano would call them often.

"Dark green eyes—that explains why I am attracted to this amulet." Rae muttered softly, glancing down to her new amulet necklace. That color, reminded her of him indirectly. It was sure nice to discover she had a loving family and lover but would they like it if she had no memories of them. Would they accept her? No, she's afraid if she can't accept them just like before. They were all strangers to her although they're her family. "My head's hurting right now. I can see why Minerva doesn't want me to learn all of this now." There's a sharp pain struck her brain as if there was something blocking her from remembering anything.

She was still getting used to human interactions, thanked to her waitress job at Sabertooth, her social skills had gotten better though sometimes she would flinch when Orga shouted to her or when Sorano randomly groped her. But to know she had such good-looking lover, it didn't make any sense since she thought she didn't have any charms. "Jellal Fernandes." The red tattoo above and under his right eye was the most prominent feature. Her hand grazed the picture to feel the flat surface as if she could reach him directly.

It was still mind-blowing but, now, she could slowly accept things. As she was standing by the window, her eyes flickered outside and much to her joy, that guy was there but this time, he was wearing clothes. Fortunately. Heart bloomed with excitement to see someone who didn't treat her fragile again, Rae quickly placed the pictures on the table and hurried to the door but of course she had to give some excuses to Rogue as he just walked passed her room. Said, she wanted to take a stroll to freshen her mind.

"Are you sure you're alright, Rae-san? I mean, it's not easy to process all of them in such short time."

Though her head was nodding to whatever he was saying, Rae had her eyes impatiently looked at the door. "Mmm I'm coping but everything is good, Rogue-kun. Thanks to everyone, you've been taking care of me since day one and I really appreciate it." She offered him a quick smile before backing away and leaving him there staring at her weirdly since she looked like she's in rush. Of course it was strange as it's already quite late and she's out alone. But then, Sting came and clasped his shoulder, telling him not to worry, strongly emphasized she's not a little kid.

Rae had her feet ran so fast so she could catch up to him, however, just as she was almost there, her eyes could see there was a girl with short silver hair with him and he suddenly shot up from the sitting position and ran with the girl to somewhere else almost as if there was something happening. Something that felt uneasy in her heart yet Rae took a few steps forward until she stood beside the bench they were once sitting across each other. A shining shimmering necklace then was seen on the ground.

"Is this—" As if there was electrostatic force hit her hand once she picked it up, Rae had her other hand flew to her mouth as her right hand automatically threw it away in reflex. Her eyes widened in disbelief, it was the same necklace—just like in that picture. Then, that man must be—no. She only saw his hair however, that raven hair was something she can't forget especially not after seeing his picture. Her head pounded hard every second, however despite the sharp pain, Rae kept pushing herself to pick up the necklace.
