I stare at myself in the mirror.
My hair is up, I see my dress sparkling every time I move. I couldn't help but twirl.
I look - decent.
This is so not me.
This all seems like a dream, and I will soon wake up.
My family were quite poor, we couldn't afford luxury things. But that doesn't mean we weren't happy. Back then, I was never alone, I always had my sister and my mum and dad. Those were the good times. But I probably will never see them again. I miss them.

I'm all alone.

I put up a strong act but I'm actually weak. After the years, I learned to hide it pretty well.

I slap myself lightly.
Stop thinking about the past.
We can never replay the past.
If we could, my life would be different.
I take a few deep breaths. Why am I nervous?

I step out of my room making sure no one is there.
I really don't like being in public or anywhere with people.
Whenever anyone sees me they point and whisper.
I want to be a normal person. Is that so impossible?
That day. That grey morning. I still didn't know why I showed myself. I knew people would point and stare. I wonder if that is my fate.

I got to the meeting place.
I saw a flicker of black hair. Yuichiro.
He looked good in his suit. I felt myself blushing a bit.
Everyone was already there.
"Sure took you lo-" Yuichiro stared at me "Woah... Surprisingly you don't look half as bad"
He looked surprised I saw a bit of red plastered on his face. Was he - no he wouldn't - blushing? He looked kinda handsome like this...
What is wrong with me? I'm never like this. Stop it Skye.
Guren suddenly pops up from the shadows "Ready?"
"READY!" We all chimed.
