  I find myself floating in darkness. There is a silver structure off in the distance. As I approach the structure, I see that it is a large, silver double door that is slanted at the top with five spires equally spaced along the width.

  “Hey,” I hear my voice say from the other side of the Door.

  “Who are you?” I ask it.

  “I’m just another aspect of you,” It replies.

  “What do you want?” I inquire.

  “I wish to apologize for Jason. Those pills we were taking made things confusing so when I gained control, mistakes were made. If those same things would have happened today then Jason would have been fine,” It says.

  “What about Tia? I ask.

  “She was, and still is, a threat,” It states.

  “Either way, I still do not wish any harm to her,” I say.

  “Alright. I will respect your wishes until her threat to our life is imminent,” It replies.

  “I understand… Are you and Airi the same?” I ask after a moment.

  “No, you and I are the same. She is something else…” It responds.

  “So, what do you think of Cheza?” I question.

  “You wish to ensure that we will protect her? Yes, we will protect her. So, do we love Cheza?” it asks.

  “Of course we love Cheza! …like a little sister,” I reply.

  “Riiiiiiiiiiight.”
