[Rocky Highway]

Even though time has passed since the eventful day wherein both lily and Mia  had separated from each other, it was still lingering in the former's thoughts of what happened

Sometimes she would ask herself "if she ever had chose the opposite, would the ending end differently?"

At times Luke would comfort her and always reminded her that its not her fault, but at times she always question herself if she really wasn't the reason for their death

She was the one who instigated everything, from leaving the empire to going on a journey, everything was done with her knowledge that everything has a price

One night as she suddenly woke up somewhere quite familiar, the ceiling, the door, the bed, and the room

At that lily was pretty sure that she was back in her old chambers back in the empire

"How... . . Why am I here?... . . Why am I back?" Panicked Lily as she rose up from her bed and started to walk off towards the door

As she started to move about, she also was quite panicking in her mind

"Why? Why is this happening? I should've been out there!!! Why am I back? Aren't I'm at the Beastman Country? Why am I here?"

Soon as she trudge around a corner, she herself started to call out names

"Luke! Anna! Ingrid! Rebecca!... . . "

But nevertheless not one even responded to her call

"Nononono! This can't be happening"

As soon she turned a corner, a bright light suddenly illuminated her eyesight which made her late to react and notice that she herself had arrived at her once prided garden

In shock she herself started to back away when suddenly a voice so familiar   shock her from behind

When she turned around however, she stared eye to eye at Hibiki prior to all the changes

"Lily? What happened? Are you okay?" Asked Hibiki

Still somewhat remembering  that eventful day, Lily jerself syarted to back away as her eyes quivered in fear

"No... . . Please no! Stay back! Don't come near me!" Muttered Lily

Maybe out of concern Hibiki asked again

"Lily? What's wrong?"

But as he asked that question, Lily herself shouted back as if she's  rejecting him

"I said stay back!!!"

In shock and dismay Hibiki heeded her shout and took a step back, soon he saw her crying face with an emotion of sorrow, pain, regret, and anger

"Its not my fault... . . I didn't know... . . I only wanted answers... . . You! You killed them!"

"Killed them? Who?" Asked Hibiki

"Mia and Alda! You killed them!!!" Shouted Lily

"Mia? Alda? Who are they?"

Finally snapping Lily was about to do something horrible that she hasn't  done before when suddenly another voice resounded behind her

"Its your fault"

As if she was triggered, she immediately  turned around and saw both Alda and Mia's corpses laying down unto the ground, with the former hugging the head of the latter close to his chest

"Its your fault that we died"

Looking everywhere  for the source of the voice, she soon deducted that the voices actually came from the corpses herself
