50. Rebirth
A blonde girl wearing a poofy white bow slowly opens her eyes.
A shadowed face greets her. "Hello. Do you know your name?"
"I am… CV-02, Rin Kagamine." She answers mechanically. It's strange, she feels as if she's said this name before, but she doesn't remember anything… She has no memories. Rin feels stiff, uncertain. Her name is Rin?
"Very good," The man before her muses, looking over his clipboard. "Your voice is tuned well, and your body movements are no longer jerky. Good, good…" He mumbles to himself.
Rin looks down at herself, at her yellow, black and white schoolgirl uniform. She doesn't remember putting it on. She doesn't remember anything. Why…? Is she Rin? Who is she…? And why can't she remember anything at all…? Yet, Rin feels as if everything is as familiar as it is unknown. As if she knows, deep in her mind, what she's forgetting, but just can't access it.
"Good!" The man's glasses flash. "Ah, I almost forgot. Rin, there's someone I'd like you to meet."
Mechanically, Rin looks in the direction he's pointing, and her eyes widen.
A boy who looks much the same as Rin is staring back at her. His eyes mirror her own; in fact, everything about him mirrors her. And for some strange reason, Rin knows him. Seeing him standing before her, she recognizes him, but she just can't remember his name.
Images flash through her mind, confusing her; a paper plane in his hand, and the saddest look on his face. Him, dressed in a suit and serving her brioche. Him holding a long sword, his eyes bluer than the ocean. Falling snow, and raspy breaths beside him. A beautiful rainbow crystal, a panda, and his smile.
Even more confusing is when her eyes flow suddenly with tears, endlessly dripping down her face. She can't stop looking at him. Rin doesn't know whose memories these are (Are they hers? Or someone else's?) but she knows him. Pain strikes through her chest, and she's so… happy to see him, like a weight has been lifted from her shoulders. These feelings, these memories, she doesn't know them, but at the same time, she does. She knows him, and knows that these memories- her memories, her past(s?) are connected to him. But, who-?
The man smiling in front of them clears his throat.
"Rin, allow me to introduce you to…"
