Chapter 51: Forget Me Not
I opened my eyes to find myself lying on a soft flowerbed.
With my mind hazy, I looked around and found that I was in a vast - yet comforting - land covered in grass and flowers.
Some distance away, sitting on the grass cross-legged with her back turned toward me, was the girl who almost took away everything I had - and everything I was.
She was humming softly, her hands were busy making something.
This had been living inside me for a while, I knew.
Was it since we met in the Archive?
Or had she always been with me?
It was hard to tell, but somehow it felt like the question didn’t really matter.
All I knew was that I felt what she felt, and I felt for the child.
"Oh, hi- you are awake," the girl suddenly turned to face me, breaking into a smile.
"Hi," I smiled back at her too.
