I'm fine, thank you
(...I'm just gonna cancel that one scene in the last chapter, because...I don't want to be reminded once I read through this story in the future...)
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...Where...am I...now..?
I remember before, that...oh yeah, that happened before.
That's out of the way, yes, she told me that my mind is now 'calmed down' and all, but where da hec am I now?
There's literally nothing surrounding me...
I can't even see nor feel anything around me...
Aether? Paimon? Cass? Aiko? Columbina? Tartaglia? Anyone??
...No response..?
...Great, me...
...
Am I forever stuck in this 'nothingness' mode, or will I wake up from this confusing time?
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...Hello...
...
...
...Hello..?
...
...
Hello..?
...
...
Hey, Kathlyne..?
...
...
You awake..?
...
...
...
That voice...
Is that Paimon's?
I was quite relieved that I could hear a voice from the real world, but as I heard her voice getting louder and louder, the feeling of waking up from this hel-hole becoming larger and larger...
...
It just...
..
Stops.
Nothing...
Silent once again...
Emptyness starting to flow once more...
...
Then I heard voices again...
However...
They were unpleasant...
...Too unpleasant...
...
...Lossing one most dear...they whisper...
...
...Risking...they whisper...
...
...Sacrificing...they whisper...
...
...Genociding...they whisper...
...
...Abandoning...they whisper...
...
...Why...does it sound...so familiar..?
...
...
...
...
...
...
Then those images pop out.
Those memories...though not belonging to me...feels very, very unpleasant...
Memories...that I recongnized immediately...
Memories...related...to the words whispered to me...
...
Lossing one most dear, they mention.
Risking, they mention.
Sacrificing, they mention.
Genociding they mention.
Abandoning they mention.
...
...
...
...
Why...is it happening now..?
I don't want to remember their sufferings...
I don't want to remember how they went by so much...
I don't want to remember how despite all of those things have happened...
It was all planned out by a mere group...
I don't want to remember...
I don't WANT to remember...
...
Yet...
Those voices and images keep appearing...
...
A god who had lost her one most dear...
A small, innocent creature risking his whole life to save the universe...
A vessel sacrificing itself just to save the kingdom...
A 'mere' child killing all those monsters...
A person abandoning someone who was supposed to be her friend...
...
...
...
Why am I getting all of this..?
It's not related to myself...
Then why am I getting all of this all of a sudden..?
Why...so specific..?
...
Why Genshin Impact?
Why Kirby?
Why Hollow Knight?
Why Undertale?
Why Little Nightmares?
Why fictional games and characters?
Why?
Just why??
Why am I getting things that doesn't EXIST in the first place??
What they suffered isn't MY fault...
What they went through were all planned out...
It wasn't MY fault that ALL of those things happened to them...
Why...am I getting these specific things...so sudden..?
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...Unless...
...Unless this is a warning...
...To Kathlyne?
Or to me?
...
Or maybe...the both of us..?
...
Was it the reason why we were chosen to be a part of them?
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
I think I know what to do now...
It's just one simple word...
Yet a confusing one to most who doesn't understand...
...
...
...
...
Accept.
...
...
...
...

"KATHLYNE! WAKE UP THIS INSTANT!"
Da hec Paimon.
I immediately got startled from her screaming, making me jolt up, fully awake because of the screaming. Thanks, Paimon.
"Geez..! I'm up now!" I said in a grumpy tone, stretching my arms a bit.
Paimon then faced to the other people behind her, which I recognized were Aether, Cassie and Aiko. "See? Paimon told you all it would work!" She said to them, her hands on her hips proudly.
"But that startled her," Cassie added.
"Yeah, yeah, but still!" Paimon said back.
"Guys, no fighting..." Aiko tried to calm them down.
"Are they? Because to me, they're simply 'discussing' something here," Aether said.
"Okay, guys, what da hec is going on, firstly?" I asked as I stood up from the bed or couch I was laying on.
"No need to know anymore, actually..." Cassie replied, facing to me. "The more important thing is that if you're okay now and what did you feel before you passed out right in front of TARTAGLIA AND COLUMBINA-"
"Alright, alright, geez, I know..." I immediately cut her off when she started to shout. "Firstly, I'm fine now. Secondly, do you remember when you mentioned them? That's when some stuff goes wrong, my mind started to 'glitch out' in a way, glitchy voices speaking to me like 'You're useless' or 'Nothing needs you' and et cetera before fully passing out. Thankfully, 'something' helped me to regain concsiousness in the real world, which or who I will not mention because I don't want to explain more, and then boom, I'm here." I explained.
"Thankfully you're okay, and that's the important part of all," Paimon said, her right arm now around her chest. "But what you mentioned before...do you know why it happened? Or was it just something that just so happened all of a sudden?"
"Well, this is only a guess, but I think it's because of the fact that I'm in Kathlyne's body, and that those thoughts are most likely supposed to be on herself and not supposedly me, but weirdly enough, I was affected as well..." I explained in reply. "But there was something about what happened during my unconsciousness..."
I then approached to Cassie and whispered on her ear, saying something short and simple yet a lot and complex in a way. "Bad endings...true bad endings..."
"Oh, freek..." she whispered back in plain yet large shock. She really understood what I meant, since in the past, I would usually ramble about it during going-home time in school. Oh, anoter thing was that it was the first ever time she actually said 'freek' in her entire life.
Everyone else in the area then turned to me and her, exchanging confused looks. "Why were you whispering to my Creator? Was it something only she could understand?" Aiko asked.
"Basically, yeah..." Cassie answered for me, facing to her. "We would really have to explain if Kathlyne, or Kris, would tell about it..."
"Oh yeah, now that I remembered," I then started. "How about when the five of us maximum are the only ones around, any one of you can freely refer to me as my real name? Or, I guess, my real nickname? Because people calling me by a name that's actually not my own, knowing my real name or not, isn't exactly quite something I'd like to hear the entire time."
"We'll do, no worries," Aether said, a small smile on his face.
There was a few short moments of silence after he spoke, which ended when I was the one who spoke. "Where da hec are we?"
"Oh, we're in the Serenity Pot," Aether replied.
"Oh, okay..." I didn't know what else to say, what things we're going to do next. Until...
"Oh freek, them...OH FREEK, THEM-"
"Huh? What? Why are you screaming?? And what 'them'??" Paimon asked, startled from my shouting.
"I mean my friends, them! Aren't we supposed to find them and let them leave this place before their timer here stops?? Again, I know that it's, like, 4 and a half months left before it would actually end, but still," I explained in reply.
"Oh, right! We've almost forgotten because of what happened before! We should really get going now!" Paimon said, flying to the door and gesturing the rest of us to follow. "C'mon, now! We don't have all the time in the world, anyways!"
All of us followed along as we went out back to reality, cotinuing from where we were before (aka the Golden House) onwards.
However...I felt uncertain on something...well, not related to what we're doing nor any of my friends in general...
It was related to those thoughts before.
But not only that...
Where was Kathlyne?
Supposedly, she'd be in my mind, communicating with me any time. But this time...she wasn't there. Mayve those thoughts I got caused the sudden silence? Or was it something else that made her not speak?
Was it because...she heard those voices as well amd thought the same as myself?
Or maybe...it was something else..?

'Ya wondering where I was, huh?'
~~~~~~~~
I'M ALIVE STILL Y E Y -
Okay, so basically I can still be 'alive', but not too 'alive', as being 'too alive' can REALLY distract me and, well, ya know what I mean (exams hate me).
And also - I'm most likely going to change some of the ways I do my stories, since I just feel like doing something new and all >->
Oki, see y'all next time (aka after freekiddie-exams ;-;) :P
