Back Once Again

[Pandora's point of view]

I listened to every word they said. Every expression they expressed. Every feeling they felt. I knew it all; they all flew like a river through my nonexistent self. Their words, expressions, and feelings all felt strangely familiar to me. To my soul... I had one. We all did.

Bacia... Bacia... Bacia! If she is the actual sorrow to Arthur then why do I have to suffer as his KEY... I'm not his sorrow; she is. But I have to take in all the pain. It hurts. I like Arthur, yet I stand here as his sorrow. So how could we have been any good to each other... We...

I'm Bacia... and Alden knew it. that's why he did not tell me to leave alongside Arthur because he wanted me to know; he wanted me to hear. To hear every word. Because he knew I was her. He knew me before me.

My illusional body was pulled by gravity; it pulled me aggressively to the ground. I did not raise my head. I feared what stood right in front of me. My true self. She was beside Jessica that whole time; stood by her side.

"Hello~" I smiled at me, "I'm sorry for not letting my memories, your memories, with you, us. But you may have some of it back; we still share the same soul, and it shall remember its own past."

I had a shadow under me. I...

[Jessica's point of view]

"You're here... I thought you left with Arthur," Alden turned his face away from the outside and faced us, "Pandora."

She was here the whole time, Arthur's KEY; Pandora. She listened. I could not see her. But why only now did I see her?

"You were here?..." [Jessica]

Her tears fell one after another on the floor that lied under her feet. Was she hurt? She seemed sad; full of pain. Her beauty must have had concealed how much pain she was in, but no matter how much you try, facts are hard to hide.

Looking at her more thoroughly, she is Bacia - even if I had not seen her face before -, but it was her for sure. The nights' dark black hair. Her wide almond eyes that carried every soul whom they contact with their gazes. She was tall and had proudness in her height; she walked on her own red carpet like a deer. She was an undercover enchantress.

"You can see me? hm..." [Pandora/Bacia]

"Yes, We can see you. You're not..." Alden tried pointing it out to her, but it was unnecessary - because she had already realized it.

"I'm not a KEY anymore?... Alden," she lifted her head, "Is your offer from the other day still ongoing?"

"You don't even have to ask. "Alden threw the cigarettes pack he carried with him on Bacia (Pandora?).

"Even if I seem like myself... back then and now, I can't recall, but it makes me dejected. This whole existence..." She looked around her for a few seconds followed by a stare at Alden," The lighter."

"Hmp!" he laughed, "Of course, you need a lighter."

"You smoke?... Now that I think if it, I saw you smoking once." [Jessica]

"I do - from time to time; that is. I'm not a heavy smoker like Alden. You smoked too - just like myself." she smiled at me. Warm.

"So Pandora, what will you do now. You're not a KEY anymore, but you're not a 'Gold' either." [Jessica]

"You just don't know...It's Bacia Gold, Jessi. From today onwards, I'm no longer Pandora. My name is engraved like all of your names on the walls of this house... If he asks you about Pandora, tell him she left to a faraway place." As she spoke, she slowly moved to the window's balcony; beside Alden. She carried her cigarette to her lip, "Don't you have something cheaper than this," she sarcastically complained about the cigarette.

"All I have~ don't be picky, Bacia~," he whined back at her.

"Hahaha~. Sorry of being picky~... Since when did Jessica's room face 'Asami's Sunflow..."

Bacia's cigarette fell from between her fingers as she rested her hands Alden's shoulders. "Why?..."
