Chapter 16 Hello from the Other Side
At the gravesite Nikki touched the headstone of the leader, whose diary they read. Haku held her other hand because she warned them that this was risky, resulting in possession or worse. Her pupils disappeared and she was standing in front of the brunette girl in her striped jumper, vertical stripes on top and horizontal on the skirt, two other women were behind her.
Anita: "We still have to prove that what we did meant something, if it stops it was as worthless as our parent's try." she said.
Nikki: "You exposed a secret about you town, and your families get closure. Meaningful things make change happen, inspire others. Would you have tried if your parents didn't inspire you?" Nikki replied.
Anita: "No, I would've just stayed in the hospital, wishing I could do something to show Logan life had meaning, that he shouldn't do nothing."
Nikki: "See, trying doesn't make things useless because you learned, trying can sometimes be more meaningful than a result."
Anita nodded begging to fade in and out as the ghosts of the others became visible, a white light blanketed them as Nikki returned to the world of the living. Everyone else could see the ghost fading and their aura was no longer sensed, the ghost had moved on. A map left behind of the secret room in the sawmill where everything stolen was confirmed it was time to move on.
After reporting their findings to processing, Net sent a message to Ambrosia who replied with a video link explaining their next mission with Gaia, wearing a pink sweater with a matching button down shirt, blue skirt, white stockings and Mary Janes. "My grandparents are visiting" she explained. All four had to meet Commander Douglass in sector 599 of the New Martian port.
