"Hey, Kiana. Can we talk?" Hachiman asks while knocking on the door, "…Maybe she's already asleep… Should have asked her after she was done practicing with Himeko." He clicks his tongue then walks away.

He stops as he hears the door open, revealing Kiana, wearing a lace deep V-neck open white nightgown, yawning as she squints her eyes at him, "Hachiman…? What do you want?"

He looks away from her with a guilty expression, "Sorry, thought you were still awake… We can talk tomorrow." He tries to walk away but she holds his hand to stop him.

Hachiman looks back to see her looking at him with an annoyed expression, "You already woke me up. Might as well take responsibility for it." She huffs and crosses her arms together.

He rubs his head with his cheek slightly red, "Yeah, sorry. Um… Can we talk inside my room after you -?"

Kiana looks at him like an idiot before sighing, "Just get in here." She opens the door wider then pulls him into the room.

She closes the door then locks it, "You've been acting weird around me since we came back. Kinda like those main characters in manga learning something dark about their companion." She waits for an answer but sees that he is too busy looking around the room, making her slightly blush.

"Oi! No looking around a girl's room!" She lightly bonks him, prompting him to let out a grunt and rubs his head.

"Jeez, then would you rather I look at you?"

"Yea –" She stops then slowly looks down to see her clothes, "…Oh."

Kiana's cheek reddens until it reaches her ears, then she turns to look at the wardrobe near her, "…You can look at me… Hachiman," She quietly mutters, though in the room, she might as well have shouted.

"Nope. Not until you've changed."

"…Do you want me to use my strength on you?"

Hachiman quickly turns around, though he keeps his eyes focused on her eyes, "Nope. I've seen what you did to that punching bag down there."

Kiana sighs, "Alright, tell me what do you want to talk?" She tiredly rubs her eyes, "Hopefully it's not long… I am beat."

He flinches, "Maybe we should continue this tomorrow –"

"Just tell me."

He sighs as he hears the annoyed words from her, "Alright alright… Do you remember anything from your past? He tentatively asks, prompting her to blink then scratch her head.

"Ummmmm… I remember me living in a house surrounded by snow trees with my parents and aunt Teri visiting us at random times… Then I woke up in a different place with my dad saying goodbye to me… Other than the stuff I told you and Mei about, that's all I got."

She squints her eyes at him, "Why? Did aunt Teri tell you something? She did tell me that I had siblings but I don't remember anything like that, so I just chalked it up to her being mistaking me for someone else then left."

"Well… It might be better if you see this first." He fishes out a picture from his pocket then shows it to her.

The picture shows a man with shoulder-length white hair held in a ponytail, wearing murky green vest and brown trousers, holding up two small female child with white hair that look identical to each other in each arm, who are smiling, while a woman with waist-long white hair, wearing a red t-shirt and black jeans, hold a female child with purple hair and one hand in her arms that is looking away with a pout.

He places the picture into her hand and mutters, "Miss Theresa wanted to give this to you on that day but thought it was too soon. She gave it to me so that I can tell you about it when the time is right… And I choose now."

Kiana doesn't say anything but she brings the picture up to her face, "That… Are my parents… And me… Who are those two…?" She quietly mutters while furrowing her eyebrows.

Hachiman sighs, "I can only trust that Miss Theresa had told me the truth… Kiana… You are a clone of this two." He points at the purple haired and white haired child.

"Sirin, the purple one, was the Herrscher of the void and was about to die, along with your mother because a nuke was about to drop on them. She broke free from the control because of your mother and sacrificed her Herrscher core to teleport them out of the blast radius."

He stops and mulls over the words to say while Kiana looks at him with her full attention, "They, your parents, adopted her into the family for some reason? In fear of being discovered, they moved away and settled at a place far away from civilization. And this one, the one to the guy's right, was called Bianka Kaslana."

"Now, bear with me as I try to explain how you came… So, from what I understood, is that someone had found Sirin's arm that got cut off, kidnapped Bianka, mixed their genes together and put a fragment of Sirin's core that they found into you, then… Incubated you in a test tube to the point you were only one year younger than Bianka."

"Siegfried and Cecilia got wind of your location, rescued you and her, relocated to somewhere else to live, then –"

Kiana puts a hand to his mouth, "Stop! Just. Stop! My head is about to explode right now!" She pushes him to the bed then removes her hand while she gets on the bed then grabs her blanket to cover herself with it.

Hachiman closes his mouth as he awkwardly looks at the lump, "…Guess I told you too much…"

"Ya think?! I don't remember any of that!"

"…Well…. Um, should I continue?"

"…Just tell me the reason why I can't remember."

He nods before coughing a bit, "That the thing. Um. No one knows."

She uncovers herself to glare at him with disbelief, "Excuse you?!"

"Miss Theresa didn't tell me! Only that while the forest and house were burning someone had kidnapped you! It took a month to find you but your parents had become wanted people, so they dropped you off at a place they trusted to help you."

She deadpans at him, "…You suck at explaining things."

"…Well sorry. I can barely comprehend your whole story. This is the result of me trying to make sense of what she told me."

Kiana sighs before dropping her face into her bed, prompting him to look away with a blush, "My head feels like it will explode… Hachiman. I order you to massage my head as an apology for tonight."

Hachiman widens his eyes, "Wh-what?! Now?! While you are wearing that?!"

"I can't bring myself to care. And I trust you."

He blushes but reluctantly massages her head, though he looks away from her, "Ahhhh~ I can feel the headache going away~" She blissfully sighs, "Hachiman please do this every day."

He snorts, "You have my sister to thank for. She forced me to massage her head and body, making me look up techniques for it."

"Then thank you Komachi~!"

Silence descends on them as Hachiman continues massaging her head while she makes herself comfortable by lying straight, "Just in case… You really aren't bullshiting me right?"

"I wish. Oh I so wish… But I thought that you should know since you looked happy in the photo…"

"…Why?"

"I imagined Komachi forgetting me and that is all the reason I need to tell you."

"…You could have at least prepared your words."

"Sorry… I had it all planned out but seeing you like this made me forget."

Kiana snorts but doesn't say anything as she enjoys the massage. They stay like that for a while, with Hachiman's hand going sore. He takes a quick glance at her face, only to see her eyes closed.

Just as he was about to stop, he hears her muttering, "What happened to my… Siblings?"

He shrugs, "Sirin disappeared the day before the fire and Bianka was gone earlier morning. At least that's what they said to her." He stops his massage, prompting her to lift her head to look at him with betrayal.

He sees the look and cringes, "Lady, my hand is getting sore as hell now. Let me rest." He sighs as she keeps looking at him with the same face, "Besides, we should be sleeping now. Good night, Kiana."

Hachiman gets up, only to stop as he feels a hand latching onto his, prompting him to look down to see her sadly looking at him, "…Can you sleep with me? I-I don't think I can sleep after your info dump… Take responsibility for it, Hachiman."

He gazes right into her eyes, only to sigh as he sees the fire in them, "Kiana, no. This is not appropriate and –"

"I don't care! I don't care what is appropriate or not! Just please… Just this once…"

"…Only if you tell me why do you hate people wearing a mask since you didn't answer last time."

Kiana blinks before muttering, "…Nothing special… I kept on being betrayed over and over because I couldn't see through their mask… That's all…"

"…Fine. Just let me go to the bathroom then I'll sleep in the corner –"

"Nope. In the bed with me."

"…You gorilla –"

Crack, "Sorry, were you saying something?"

"…Nevermind."

*A...N*
