I closed my eyes and immediately, the images of yesterday's event appeared in my mind. I was so happy at the beginning, but then the joy end… just because a mistake they did. I don't know anymore whose right, whose wrong… All I know is this has to end. I have to wake up from the sweet dream and face the reality already…
Reality…
That word sounds so foreign to me, and yet so fit… Why must we dream when reality is all we need? Dreams will only brings false hope. We dream as we wish for a better reality… But that's impossible. Just hoping and dreaming for something we couldn't attain won't bring us a better truth.
That…is my reality…
I open my eyes and gazes around my now empty room. I have already packed everything I need. What's left is to say goodbye…But to whom?
"Mikan…"
Persona comes out from the shadow and walked to me slowly. He didn't wear his white mask so I could see his sad and trouble expression.
"Rei-nii, it's alright. This is my choice," I said with a smile, trying to reassure my brother.
But it doesn't seem to be enough. I raise my hands and took his face, eyes staring at me. His black eyes hide a thousand sorrows, and it sadden me more as I realise it's because of me. Slowly, I pulled him for a hug.
"I'll be fine, Rei-nii…I'm not that weak. You should trust me more…" I said to his ear. "I promise you, one day…I'll return here and be with you again,"
"….Promise?" he ask with his deep voice.
"Yes…I promise," I sounds more determined that he couldn't help but show me a small smile.
I released him and then pulled out a medium sized box from my luggage. "Do me a favour. Hold this for me until I come back. It's my treasure…".He hesitantly accepted.
I stepped back a bit from him. My body start to glow. "Well then…Sayonara, nii-sama,", I teleported away with a smile, leaving him standing alone with my box.
Mikan's POV
I teleport to a deserted building. It seems like they have been expecting me already. I could only smile at this.
I trust Rei-nii to take care of my treasure. Inside it was the pictures of friends and my diary for the last two years I've been in the academy. To me, they're my precious treasure. A family that I desire. But, it's all over now…
I no longer need to hold on to my childish dream. They hate me anyway, and will hate me even more after this.
I don't care anymore… If by doing this means I can protect them… then I'll destroy even the world for them.
"Sakura Mikan, right?" a voice greeted me as I stand in front of them. I nodded.
This is it… There's no turning back anymore…
I'm sorry and thank you for everything, everyone…
"Welcome to AAO,"
I left my heaven and dive myself to hell.
