I opened my eyes to see myself back in the black void again.

"I'm here again..?" I muttered and gasped.

"Ymir! She better not!" I exclaimed and stood up.

I look around to see if the little girl is around.

"Hey! Hey, are you there!?" I called out.

"Big sis." I heard a small voice behind me and there I saw her.

"Kid! I'm..." I trailed off, not sure of what to call her since she hasn't told me her name yet.

Then I remembered one nickname some people gave me.

"Little flower! You have to wake me up! I have to make sure Hannes, Ymir, and Krista are-"

"You can't." she said and I slightly flinched.

"What?" I whispered, confused at her words.

"You can't change the storyline." she said and my eyes widened.

"How... how do you know that?" I asked with brows furrowed.

"I know that you're not from here. I know all of this is fiction in your place. I know I'm not real, all of these are not real." she said and looked at me with that blurred face of hers.

I remained quiet, but I'm panicking inside.

"But you can't change the storyline no matter what." she said.

"Why not?! If you- or whoever the ffff- duck!- sent me here, must have a reason why you guys did, right!? And that should be saving them! I'm doing the best I can!"

"You can't!" she yelled.

"I asked, why not!?-"

"Because you'll only stop yourself from doing it!"

I silently gasped and stepped back.

"What do you mean 'I'll stop myself'? That doesn't make any sense!" I said.

"Can't you see!? All your plans for changing some major events failed!?" she said, tears appeared on her blurred face and fell down on her cheeks.

"You can't change the storyline, you can't save everyone!" she continued.

"Everything you do comes with a price!"

"Stop. Just stop." I whispered and gritted my teeth.

"I get it. I can't save everyone. I know that. I tried, they died, and I'm tired. But I can't stop just yet." I said.

"I have to try!" I said and grabbed her shoulders.

"You have to give me a chance! I have a chance to save Ymir and let her live with Krista!"

"Please!" I begged.

"But I don't want you to blame yourself if you failed! When you cry, I cry!" she said back, making me chuckle.

"Really?" I asked and she nodded, wiping her tears away.

"I'm sorry, little flower." I said and helped wipe her tears away.

"But please, let me do this." I said softly.

I saw her shoulders tensed up and she sighed.

"Okay..." she whispered and I smiled.

"Thank you." I said and gave her a hug.

I felt her slowly hug back and nuzzle closer in my shoulder.
