Aiko was surprised by the question, she pushed Monika's finger down by her lips "Who am I?" she looked at Monika with a confused expression. "You know who I am."
"All I know is your name," said Monika as she looked at Aiko. "and that is all, Aiko"
"You want to know more about me?" asked Aiko as she looked at Monika. Monika nods. "Alright then, well…I live with my brother and father, and umm…"
"And….what about your mother?" asked Monika.
"Well…sighs…." Aiko looked at Monika, "She died when I was 10 years old"
"I'm sorry for your loss," said Monika.
"That was years ago, okay?" said Aiko.
"Alright, I understand," said Monika.
"Do you? I don't think you do," said Aiko. "No one really does but my brother, Allen"
"Because your mother is his mother…" said Monika.
"He was only 6 years old," said Aiko. "He doesn't even know our mother that much, unlike me."
"What do you know about your mother?" asked Monika. Aiko was surprised that Monika asked her that, but she guessed that it wouldn't hurt to tell Monika.
"I only know two things, and those are this song that she sings to me and her smile, it makes me happy." said Aiko. Monika gave Aiko a small hug, and Aiko was taken by surprise.
"Thank you for telling Aiko, I bet it is hard for you." said Monika.
"Thank you for understanding," said Aiko.
"No need to thank me, Aiko. You are my friend and a member of the literature club." said Monika.
"Does that mean I'm a doki?" asked Aiko. Monika nods.
"It does," said Monika, "Now, I will go now" as she started to leave, went out of the shop, Aiko had a question for Monika, ran out of the shop and saw that Monika was gone, leaving Aiko confused. 'What….how can Monika walk so fast? And….what did Monika mean by who am I? I have more questions than answers' thought Aiko. Then Aiko remembers Sayori, she needed to find Sayori. She walked around and then found Sayori taking a nap on a chair. Aiko smiled and sighs.
"Should I leave Sayori here or stay and wait for her to wake up?" Aiko asked herself. Aiko chose to stay and wait for Sayori to wake up. Aiko sat down and hummed a tune, her mother's song. "I wonder how my brother is or my friend..' thought Aiko, not knowing what someone was watching her, someone's shadow. Aiko yawned and then started to close her eyes and then take a nap. After a while, she woke up and yawned, looking around. It was dark and she was in her world again, she sighs. "Looks like I'm back again"
