3RD PERSON

Three weeks have passed since Sophie's memories were forgotten. In the course of the past weeks, it's more or less a rollercoaster of emotions.

Sophie has remembered a lot more than she had before, but her memories regarding Fitz and Keefe has little to no progress at all.

There were days that she had to drink more than 3 elixirs a day because of the side effects of remembering.

There were also times that she needed to stay at the Healing Center just because she fainted due to shock.

There were also those days when she suddenly cried, especially the memories regarding her kidnapping with Dex, Alden's broken mind, and the death of Councilor Kenric.

There were also days when she suddenly hugs someone out of the blue, because she remembered something happy or sad.

But, these past 3 days, her mind has taken a break from remembering and there were no problems for her.

Time just passed by before they knew it, and it was already February. They're about to have their midterms on the 3rd week, but no one feels nervous. In fact, excitement was all over the air.

"Hey, is there something that's going to happen aside from midterms?" Sophie asked Biana who was surprisingly humming as they walk to their lockers.

"Oh? I guess you don't remember that part yet." Biana said she licked the DNA strip on her locker "Ew. That flavor just destroyed my mood."

"Must be Elwin." Sophie grimaced over the flavor, in which she could simply explain as something similar to spoilt milk in the human world. "So yeah, what's happening?"

"Valentines day!" Biana exclaimed and started squealing.

"Isn't that a human tradition?" Sophie asked. Besides, elves have matchmaking scrolls, why do they need something like a day dedicated for love?

"Uh-huh, but Magnate Leto introduced it back when we were level 4. The activities vary each year, the only thing that's consistent is an aurenflare on the evening." Biana explained as she gathered all her books as to not lick the strip again later on.

"The celebration lasts for a whole week, and luckily, Valentines day this time landed on the last day of a school day, so it won't be interrupted by a weekend." She added.

"What do you do on the other days?" Sophie asked, also gathering all her belongings and slowly closing it.

"We prepare for the activity, or whatever it is. On our level 4, we had like a baking contest. Best tasting delicacy wins. When we were on level 5, we decorated whatever place we got. Best decoration wins. The prizes vary too."

"So, did we win on any of those?" Sophie asked, curious and also excited about it.

"Nah. Actually, it was kinda shameful because the contests are divided. The lower division for levels 1 to 4 and the higher division for levels 5 to 8. Imagine, we were the highest level in the lower division yet we lost to a level 2. Urgh, the embarassment." Biana said, slapping her cheeks with both hands.

"How come I don't remember any of this?"

Biana looked at her in the eye and answered "Because you hated Valentines day." Sophie gave her a questioning look which made her sigh.

"No, honestly, I just realized why. The time when you were absent at level 4 because a guy kissed you? Yeah, that was during Valentines. Then when we where at level 5, you just said you don't feel like going."
