Love; Breakdown Ch.6 - Anna's POV

I can see it all clearly now.

I know what to do and I know why.

I've finally understood that I'm a hologram, a three-dimensional, moving, thinking laser picture of the real Anna Kate Paris.

Born and dead the same decade.

But I *am* her, based on the information in the Starfleet Database, *I am* her!!

And I, Anna Kate Paris, have to save my brother, the cute little boy, my innocent, sweet baby brother.

Of course he's grown-up by now.

I used to be so happy that I was taller that him, my two baby sisters were both taller than me.

I guess I won't be taller than him anymore. I wonder what he looks like. Good or bad? Tall or short? Slim or fat? Dark or fair? Nice or rude?

I'll have to see for myself, and I'll do it soon.

I also now what happened to him in life, it hasn't been very happy stuff, not very nice stuff either.

Too bad. He was so cute. My only brother.

I remember something now, I tripped him once when he'd stole my Barbie, and now I regret it, Mom said I would some day. This is that day.

It feels like if I hadn't tripped him he would have gotten a better life.

Feels like if I hadn't, he would remember me with only joy in mind. Not pain, the floor was so hard, he cried, Dad got mad, I ran away and hid under my bed.

But it's no time to think about the past time now, I've got a mission to focus on.

I've been given the change to do the good deed I don't think I ever did as a child.

As a *living' child, sorry doctor, I mean; as a child made of flesh and blood.

Not laser and a matrix.

No, I'll have to focus on my mission, Captain Janeway said that I was the only one who could possibly make it.

She won't be disappointed, I won't disappoint another person, this thing I can handle, I'll make it, I will.

Even if they delete me later, I will have done *something* good in this second chance to live.

I would have saved my brother, I *will* him.

I will... if I love my baby brother enough.

I do.
