I went back to bed, but I didn't get any more sleep. I was scared. Morning had already come and passed, but I couldn't move.

"Are you awake?" Italy was at the doorway. I could hear the soft cooing of Daisy in her arms.

There was no use trying to deny it. "Yeah, I'm awake," I admitted. I felt her weight as she sat on the bed next to me.

With her free hand, she petted my hair from my face. "Are you feeling any better?"

I couldn't answer that question. I couldn't cry anymore over this. Did I still make myself sick to my stomach? Yes. I had meant this curse for Liet. Something had gone wrong, and I had been cursed instead. I wanted him to be by my side, but I didn't deserve him now. I was a despicable person. There was no way he'd want someone like me. I was just fooling myself.

"Well, we're going to go out for a walk. You can come with us if you want. It might be a nice change of pace."

She left me alone in the room again. Maybe she had a point. I couldn't stay in this room all day. The fresh air could probably let me think better. What was I going to do with my life now?

I took out the green uniform out of the bag. It wasn't folded anymore, but Liet's smell was still there As soon as I put these on, his memory on this fabric would fade. I hadn't learned anything. I was still so selfish. . It made me sad that this was the closest I would get for me to be in his arms again. But, I would take what I could get. If there were any day that I wanted to be held by him, today would be it.

Germany and Italy were waiting for me at the front of the house. Little Daisy was in a carrier that they held in between them. Italy smiled when she saw me. She offered her hand out to me.

It was a bit cool outside, but it wasn't uncomfortable. The leaves were beginning to fall from the trees. They crunched as we walked along the little path. Germany and Italy were talking amongst themselves while swinging Daisy gently back and forth.

Once we had gone a certain distance, Italy stopped. She gave her half of Daisy to Germany with a huge smile on her face.

"It's time for daddy-daughter quality time! You stay here with Daisy. We have girl stuff to talk about!"

Germany looked slightly panicked. "Daddy-daughter…what am I supposed to do?"

Italy smiled even wider and kissed him. "Bond with her. You could play or try to teach her something. I'll be back before you know it. Have fun!"

She kept my hand gripped tight as we went further down the path.

"Isn't it pretty today?" she said whimsically.

I nodded. The sky was clear and blue. The wind was playing with my hair so I tucked it behind my ear.

"Thanks…for last night, I mean," I said. She had let me cry on her for so long.

"It's no problem. I'm a mommy now, so it's instinct!"

Further ahead of us, there were two people stopped in the middle of the road. One was a short pretty girl with long pale blonde hair. She looked like she was wearing a dark blue maid's outfit. She was alarmingly cute. Her hands were hooked around the neck of another person. His green uniform looked similar to my very own.

My breathing hitched. This couldn't be happening. Why was I reacting like this? This was a good thing, right? He was meant to be with a cute doll-like girl. We were never really meant to be together. No matter how much I tried, I could never be the cute girl he liked. He probably didn't even know me now. That was a good thing, wasn't it? If he knew me, he would be as angry at me as I was with myself. But still, my body wasn't on the same terms as my thinking.

"Liet?" I breathed out.

My worst fears were realized as he turned my way. His blue-green eyes gave away his identity. My Liet. The Liet I had sacrificed so much for belonged to someone else. I couldn't bear to be part of this sad scene any longer. I let go of Italy's hand and ran off the path into the tall grasses. I didn't remember as much about Liet as I would've liked to. Even with my limited amount of memories, I had fallen in love with him time and time again. I couldn't bear to see him like that with anyone else.

"-nd? Po…" A voice? It sounded nice. I could hear coming from behind me, rustling through the grass. As much as the world seemed like it was out just to spite me, it threw such nice things my way from time to time.

"POLAND!" The voice was right behind me. Something warm tugged back on my wrist. I stumbled back into the arms of my dreams. It was like getting a slap from a livewire on my brain. I hadn't realized how muted my memories had been. The warmth permeated through my body.

Liet was here. Liet had come after me. Liet was holding me in his arms. Liet's hands were the ones that touched my face. Liet's eyes were the ones staring into mine filled with sad happiness.

"Poland, you're all right! You have no idea how worried I was about you. I looked all over for you!"

I couldn't comprehend anything. How did I deserve him here like this.? I could feel the tears silently fall from my eyes. Liet wiped each one away with the movement of his thumbs.

"Why?" was all I could manage.

Belarus had a knife in her hand as she held it up to Lithuania's neck. I hadn't expected us to come across them so soon. The mystery girl that held on to my hand muttered something. Lithuania turned. His neck now sported a fine red line from the knife's sharp blade.

"Poland?" he said, not quite believing what he saw.

That's right! Her name was Poland! I couldn't believe I could forget someone like that. It was too late. She had let go of my hand and was running through the feeling. Lithuania motioned to follow her.

"Oh no, you're not going anywhere until you tell me where my darling big brother is!" Belarus hissed.

"He planned to stalk Chna again today. If he catches you, his new favorite hiding spot is in his conference room. The third panel from the left of the picture of his last boss is a secret door. You break down that, and you've got your brother," he spat out. He managed to get out of her grip, and he ran after Poland.

Belarus painted an evil little smile on her face and ran further down the road.

I smiled to myself and headed back the way I came.

"Well, you look like you're having fun!" I said to my husband. He was in the exact same place I had left him.

Germany had one of his rare smiles broadcasted on his face. I don't think I had ever seen him on this level of excitement. "Italy, you wouldn't believe it! Watch!" Germany saluted our daughter.

For a moment, Daisy hesitated. Then, with a giant giggling grin, she brought her tiny right hand to her forehead, matching her daddy.

Germany looked like he was going to explode with pride. Daisy lifted her arms up in the air.

"Ve~ Daisy, you're so smart! You'll grow up to be just like Daddy!" I lifted her up and showered kisses all over her tiny face.

"Ich liebe meine Mädchen," he said. He kissed Daisy on her cheek.

He turned to me and gave me a quite different kiss. Much deeper than the one he gave our daughter. He pulled me closer. Daisy was safely nestled in between us. I brought my hand to his face as we parted.

"Ti amo," I said as sincerely as I could. We spent a moment like this. I didn't know exactly how long I spent just staring into my husband's eyes.

Daisy's little voice broke our reverie. Her little arms were lifted toward our faces. Germany took her from me and held her against his chest.

"It's almost time for her to take a nap. We should probably head back home. Where is tht girl?" Germany said.

I smiled remembering what had happened earlier. "Oh, Poland? She's fine. She won't be joining us on our way back. She's in good hands now."
