"Lloyd it's me! You know me. I'm your siblin..." I did not finish my sentence when he interrupted me.
"Who are you? I don't know you." he pushed me away. He probably thought I was a creep. For sure he did; everything gave it away. His look towards me. His gestures. They all drove me further away from him. "I'm sorry... I just was so excited, but it seems I got the wrong person." I was so embarrassed by what just happened that I could not see him in the eyes anymore.
"My SN is Lloyd, but how do you know it? I don't remember meeting you anywhere before this time," he looked at me with dazed eyes. At that moment, my mouth spoke before me thinking, so I flashed my sentences at him with no break.
"I'm your sibling, Lloyd. You must remember me. I was with you in that vicious place. Lloyd..." I quickly grabbed his wrist with his palm facing my face," You see this. This is a sign left on us from that place. This three on your wrist is a tattoo that was printed on us. I, you and our nine other siblings... you see." I let go of his wrist so I can turn my back for it to face him. I tried to lower the neck of the top I was wearing to reveal a number on my upper back; Number 4.
"You see, I'm your sibling, Neveda. I'm her. I'm Neveda. You remember me, right?" I forced it onto him.
I could not see what was his facial expression, because I gave him my back. I was worried he did not remember me like how I did not recall who I was with and who Lloyd was. "Lloyd, please don't fail me!" I hoped within myself. From my back rose his hands to land on my shoulders. "HAHAHA," he laughed. I could not move a hair for I was not sure what was that for. "Please don't be a rejection," I said loudly. Oops.
"What rejection? Did you just confess your love to me? How could you have become this gross, Neveda." he teased me. He knew who I was. I was above the clouds.
"You're the gross one here. How dare you play such dirty jokes on me. You're mean; you know."
"I truly didn't recognize you at first. You look so different now. Nothing is the same. It has been 13 years since I've seen the Neveda I know."
"Is it the 'age gaps'?"
"It's everything. You just look so different. Your hair was long, and you were smaller and just a kid."
"Everything is changed in you once you arrive. And I just recently cut my hair. It's short; I know. By the way, when did you arrive to the Golden World?"
"A little over a year, I'm not Lloyd anymore. My name is Ash Black here."
"Ash Black... It is very weird telling you this, especially that you know I'm a female. But people here choose what to call me. I came with two names and they choose upon what they think I am... like if I'm a female or a male. They were given to me by this world, so I have to play along. Until one day they discover... It's Asami Gold."
"You have a group, don't you? I'm the only one who is 'Black' and carried the title of G1."
"I'm... from G1 too... You know why not come with me. I'm, actually, here with someone. I told him to stay somewhere while I ran after you." my voice was shaky. Ain and Alden's voices kept on speaking in my head, "Just don't tell anyone you're ACF; no matter who they are. Always introduce yourself as Asami Gold or Li Jun Gold. Do you get it?"
"I actually came here to look around the place, since I'll have to officially visit the area sometime soon. I think you go to calls from Lowell."
"Yeah... see you then." we parted.

Each had fallen in their way.
