Fluid was wondering about the city when he spotted a girl his age on a bridge. She's in a blue ragged dress, a lavender winter coat, black heeled boots, a scarf, and a floppy hat. She had oval glasses, freckles splayed across her face, red lipstick, and medium length blonde hair. She's accompanied by a spotless dalmatian puppy, if it weren't for her pink nose and blue eyes, she'd blend in with snow she's playing in. The girl and the puppy haven't noticed him yet, so he stays out of sight.
Flora: 🎵They said I was found by the side of a road. There were tracks all around, it had recently snowed. In the darkness and cold, the wind in the trees. A girl with no name and no memories, but these: Rain against a window, sheets upon a bed, terrifying nurses, whispering overhead, "Call the child Flora, give the child a hat." I don't know a thing before that.🎵
The puppy's stopped playing in the snow by now and is looking at her with a mournful expression. The girl, Flora, has a beautiful voice, Fluid's completely transfixed by it.
Flora: 🎵 Traveling the back roads, sleeping in the woods, taking what I needed, working where I could. Keeping up my courage, foolish as it seems, at night all alone in my dreams. In my dreams, shadows call, there's a light at the end of a hall. Then my dreams, fade away, but I know it all will come back one day.🎵
The water under the bridge starts to move, Flora's eyes are closed in concentration.
Flora: 🎵 I dream of a city, beyond all compare. Is it Paris? Paris... A beautiful river, a bridge by a square. *The water from the river forms a vaguely familiar shape* And, I hear a voice whisper, "I'll meet you right there in Paris" *the figure disappears* Paris...🎵
Fluid tries to figure out who the figure she made was, it was definitely female, but there wasn't any defining features.
Flora: 🎵You don't know what it's like, not to know who you are. To have lived in the shadows, to travel this far. *She holds her head and falls to her knees* I've seen flashes of fire! *There's a flash of a building on fire* Heard the echoes of screams! *The shadows of people screaming* But I still have this faith, in the truth of my dreams. In my dreams, it’s all real.
And my heart has so much to reveal. And my dreams seem to say, “Don’t be afraid to go on. Don’t give up hope, come what may" I know it all will come back one day.🎵
She stands up, picks up the little white puppy, and walks off in the opposite direction. Fluid stands there in a trance for a moment before getting back to Coil.
