Reaching the crimson memory crystal confined in chains, Lily sighted hope that she will regain her existence wholly. Yet before even having the chance to be in contact with it, she all of a sudden was sent into a pitch black room.
An entity appeared in front of her, carrying a long glowing scythe - its blade is engraved with the word 'poena', meaning punishment. Lily thought the entity in front of her is Death, the grim reaper.
"Do you remember me?" She heard her own voice from this body. Grinning from excitement, the entity moved closer to tell her something in whisper,
"I will devour your whole existence, so I can be the dominant one and you can't hide me anymore!" Stuned from seeing her own face from the entity in front of her, she forgets to defend herself from its vicious attack. Her body was sent flying through the dark room, seeing nothing but this person bearing her very own image.
"Stand up!" Levin commanded, but she can't pull herself up from her existence's exhaustion.
"I don't feel any power from my legs!" She exclaimed in a rattling voice. Her lower body seems shattering like glass.
"This is the most helpless state you've been in. Can't you really protect yourself?" The entity proclaimed that its name is Pitch, the wrath Lily is hiding since she was diagnosed with an incurable disease.
"I'll let you recognize me."
...
Flashbacks overwhelmed Lily's head. It appears as if she is back on Earth, back from the time when she was said to have an illness called muscular dystrophy. It's most often to affect male than females, but she was unlucky enough to get these genes from her ancestors. While the symptoms started to occur, all of her friends, one by one left her. The class makes fun of her wheelchair and sometimes she is being bullied in school because of this. Some people even tried to push her on her wheels to a very dangerous slope. She was known to be the kind and good-mannered girl, so whenever people laugh at her situation, she just laughs back like it doesn't affect her mental health. No one stands up for her but this guy named Levi.
One day, at lunch time, she overheard that some of her classmates are trying to convince her new lover, Levi, to dump her - calling her numerous names. She quickly turned around and goes away just to avoid hearing what Levi would respond, never knowing what her lover said. Her mind overthinks of everything that happened, happens, and will happen in her life.
"The only one who can protect myself is me." She told herself.
...
Tears came pouring to her cheeks, dripping to her chin. She finally remembered who she is, and what kind of life she has. The entity in front of her is the alter ego she developed as a defense mechanism. Through wrath, she was able to let out all of her anger from her abusers, yet only in her mind. She had this weird pleasure of murdering them step by step in her imaginations, but when Levi realized she became like this, he started Lily's healing.
"Don't let sin devour you."
Gaining back all her lost memories streamed courage all throughout her veins. She fearlessly stands up from the ground and held up her whip in a fighting stance.
"Levi, help me one last time fight myself!"
