Broken Memories twirled and danced as Gaela silently watched the dark abyss swirling in her mind, sitting with her legs bent and her strong arms around them. Gaela looked down at the ground, her pale and lifeless face staring back at her from the mirror-like floor. Her mind recalled past events and memories and she felt her lips tugging upwards.
"Hello Yuki, it's been a while."
Unfazed, Gaela stood up and stared face to face with a woman who looked similar to herself. The woman was tall, elegant and she was faint in colour, as if she was under the moonlight. "Mother," Gaela acknowledged, "hello. It has been quite some time since I last thought of you or recall distant memories." "And that's why I'm here," Hisame Itenokami smiled, "I am here to tell you to continue living."
Suddenly the darkness was no more. Vivid memories of the past immediately flooded and all that was around Gaela and her mother was colourful lucid sceneries from her past.
A blonde boy suddenly materialised out of nowhere with an impassive expression and corpses littered around him. He was cold, ruthless and efficient. He was a monster. But the cold expression softened as he reached out for Gaela with a small but meaningful smile. Cherry blossoms danced around them as the sound of rain resonated with Gaela's soul. The faceless corpses around them disappeared and Gaela suddenly found the Yoake in her hands. Without much thought, Gaela handed Brian the Yoake. "I'll leave this to you Brian. I'm more of an artillery person," Gaela said. Brian silently took the katana from Gaela's hands. Tens of thousands of memories with Brian from childhood into adulthood flashed before Gaela's very eyes before the duo paused. Brian stood there, frozen with the Yoake firmly in his grip.
A blue haired girl with a low ponytail hacking diligently with a switchblade appeared out of nowhere. The blue haired girl suddenly looked at Gaela with such hatred in her eyes as if wishing to hold Gaela at knifepoint. As if like magic, the spiteful expression on her face disappeared. The girl's low ponytail tied itself into a side ponytail and she gave Gaela a wink. The switchblade in her hand was gone. It was replaced with a box cutter. The girl twirled it around aimlessly with a carefree smile, skipping about. Gaela recalled the times she spent with Rin. Most of them were amusing and enjoyable memories because Rin can never be seen sad. Even if the whole world falls into ruins, Rin would still give Gaela a big optimistic smile with fire and passion in her eyes, that's for certain.
A noblewoman sat quietly in the background with a book in hand, reading peacefully. She finally stood up just as Rin stopped moving as if she was frozen in time. The noblewoman's emerald gaze behind her glasses was cold and intimidating. She seemed so haughty as if she was a queen and Gaela couldn't help but to feel inferior next to her. The redhead then rolled her eyes and fixed her plain glasses, blushing bashfully before looking away. All of a sudden she seemed very doting and caring but was too embarrassed to show it. Adrienne Le Blank was no doubt an extremely valuable asset in the Rí an Ghealach if not the most treasured. Gaela remembered all the times Adrienne looked out for Gaela and her acquaintances as well as all the beautiful plans and strategies the girl had proposed. Gaela gave Adrienne a grateful nod. The redhead in return scowled and looked away.
A pink haired girl with a bewitching gaze was resting on the ground with one leg bent and other straight, arm resting on the bent leg, smoking a cigar in one hand and a bottle of gin in another. The girl flickered the cinders of her cigarette off carelessly. She suddenly stood up and bounded towards Gaela, offering her a white mint with a deceptively charming smile. The pink haired girl was an appealing and ruthless monster who kills people. She can get hold of information with her charms easily. The girl threw the mint canister in her hands away before pulling Gaela away excitedly across shops, malls and boutiques. Memories with Folisha... They were pleasant. Folisha would bring Gaela outside to have fun. She was just a girl living her life as a kid as well as a teenager; loud, lovable and enjoying her days like she's going to die young. Folisha was living the life she missed out on.
