*Wake up.*
/Who are you?/
*Wake up.*
/I don't want to./
*Shut up. Wake up.*
/Who are you?/
*I'm you.*
/No. I'm me./
*Don't you ever think?*
/Yes.../
*Then wake up.*
/I don't want to./
*Yes, you do. You just don't want to face yourself.*
/I am, by talking to you aren't I? And you did say you were me.../
*Do you think sleeping and hiding will make this all go away.*
/Shut up./
*You know it won't.*
/Yes it will./
*Oh god. Deal with it. You followed. It's your fault.*
/Leave me alone./
*I'd like to. But I can't.*
/Stop bugging me./
*I will, once you wake up. So wake up.*
/I don't want to./
*Face yourself. Get yourself out. Stop hiding.*
/I kind of like to hide. So leave me alone./
*Hmm... then you'll have less time...*
/What are you talking about?/
*Nothing.*
/Oh! I don't like you./
*Of course not. You don't like yourself.*
/Shut up./
*I only say the truth.*
/Leave me alone./
*Face yourself.*
/I don't care anymore./
*Wake up.*
/I can't. I'm stuck./
*I can't believe you're me. So pathetic. So pitiful.*
/.../
*Prove to me I'm not some pathetic girl. Wake up. Stop hiding.*
/.../
*Wake up.*

Two jade eyes opened, blinking a few times before focusing. Leena put her pale hand on the side of the bed, pulling herself up so that she was sitting up straight. She covered her eyes a little, cursing and muttering incomprehendable words.
Glenn, who was sitting on a chair nearby the window, turned his head to look at Leena. His dark eyes relieved that Leena had woken up. Glenn rushed over to Leena's side.
"Thank god... I ... we were worried about you," Glenn said.
Leena looked at him.
"What happened?" she said in a drowsy voice, she felt sore and tired.
"You fainted. And I brought you here, you've been out for around ten hours," Glenn said.
"Hmm... funny isn't it?" Leena suddenly inquired to no one in particular.
"What?" Glenn asked, a bit confused.
"You try hiding but they always find you in the end."
"What are you talking about?" Glenn was now extremely confused by Leena's strange and sudden words.
"Nothing..." Leena sighed.
"Oh, I just remembered, there are people here to see you," Glenn said, a smile now on his face. Yet, Leena could read some traces of worry in his eyes, his dark eyes. Leena put a hand on his cheek..
"So worried? Why?"
Glenn brushed away Leena's hand. She felt a little hurt, he was always so kind to her but seemed so rushed to her right now.
"Why would you think I'm worried?"
"Never mind," Leena said, then quickly turned her head to the door as it opened.
A small, bronze hand extended from the wooden door, slowly opening. The hand belongs to a girl who was wearing a white, sleeveless top and a short, red skirt that went up to her knees, the girl's bronze legs jutted out from the skirt. She had extremely bright, cerulean eyes and sun-gold hair that was in a high ponytail, braided at the top of her head. She saw Leena and smiled a smile that was surely too big for her face.
"Why hello! Whatcha all up to?" the girl said with an Australian accent.
"Kid..." said Leena breathlessly. Leena felt so happy suddenly, it was like meeting one of her best friends in a completely different way. After the whole adventure that happened back at home, she and Kid had become close, at first rivaling for Serge's love even though both knew Serge only had a romantic interest in Kid. Both didn't really care, Leena and Kid became close friends and Serge had gone back to his own world.
Still, it was nice to pretend to rival for Serge's love. Though after a while, Leena had stopped liking Serge and moved on, as did Kid but every once in a while, Kid would sigh out Serge's name in longing.
"Oh wow! It's like looking at Neya!" Kid exclaimed as she saw Leena. Leena frowned as she realized that this Kid was not her best friend, she suddenly felt a longing to talk to Kid. To go back in time with one of their memories where they threw each other in the lake and ran around crazily with stick swords pretending to be Glenn and Karsh. She missed those memories.
Leena sighed, "It's nice to meet you," she offered. Kid wrinkled up her nose.
"What's wrong?" she asked with concern, half full of wonder if Leena somehow despised her and the other half full with real, genuine concern. For some strange reason, Kid had felt close to Leena right when she saw her. Glenn cast a worried, sideways glance at Leena.
"Nothing... just memories," Leena said, brushing away her feelings and thoughts.
"Oh, well... meet Harle," Kid said with a bright smile.
A small girl walked in, dark, raven hair cascaded down her shoulders and she had dark brown eyes with rich colored skin. She smiled strangely, "I'm Harle."
Leena blinked. She remembered the Harlequinn back at her world, always wearing that costume with all the make-up on her face, and a strange giddish smile that always covered her face. In wierd ways, the girl who walked in seemed so much like Harlequinn even though she looked extremely different from Harlequinn. The strange smile was still there.
It almost scared Leena but she brushed it away.
"Hey, that girl looks exactly like Neya!" exclaimed a guy as he walked in, Leena felt her heart leap but kept calm. She tasted his name in her mind, not daring to utter it out loud. After a few minutes of what seemed like an eternity of thinking, she had realized she didn't exactly feel too much for him but a pure physical attraction.
She didn't want him like before. She didn't want to lean her head on his shoulder over the pier, watching the sun set and she didn't want to talk to him about life and how happy she was. Not anymore. She realized that in a way she had given him up to Kid because Kid had loved him more, and he loved her back, while her love was never actually a love but more of a like and a remembrance of a past.
She decided she wouldn't go after him at all. It wouldn't be fair to herself at all, nor would it be fair to her best friend.
"Hey," Leena uttered. She studied him, he was tall and the same bronze color, like Kid, his eyes and hair was the same. He looked exactly the same. In fact, everyone looked exactly the same but Neya and Harle.
Neya ran into the door, almost running into Serge, "HEY! Wanna go outside?" Neya asked excitedly. She was so much like a little girl, though Leena. So different from herself.
Leena nodded in response.
Glenn looked at her worriedly before saying, "Okay. C'mon."
Leena watched everybody run out before she got up herself, Glenn had waited for her by her side.
When she got outside the house, she had a sudden urge to dig up the ground. She didn't know why, and it was very queer because she just felt like she had to dig up some of the earth to find something. To find something... but what?
"Do you have a shovel?" Leena asked in a strange voice. Glenn looked at her with a confused look before walking into the house, handing her a shovel.
Leena walked over the backyard, she just knew there was something. She just didn't know what. She walked around until she felt like the place close to the rose bushes was the right place to dig.
And so she dug until she felt herself touching a wooden box with a latch.
By then, Leena was extremely confused and felt a little dizzy, her hands stained with the damp, fertile soil and grass stains appearing on her dress.
"What... what is it?" asked Neya as she and the others had in time, gathered around Leena.
"It looks like a really old box," Kid said bluntly and sarcastically.
Harle had a strange smile on her face and Glenn appeared to look worried again.
Leena opened the box hurriedly, finding that she couldn't open it she broke off the latch with the shovel to find... a spatula and a few other things.
