You are Sunny. After all that, you ended up telling everyone, being lucky to even survive that fight. You surrendered to the police... It was the right thing to do. Your mom forgave you. So did Kel and Basil. Your dad became much more avoidant... But he told you once that he forgave you for it... To contrast, you don't know what happened to Hero after. Meanwhile, Aubrey isolated you from her. She needed some time. After the trial, where you broke up in tears... You were sentenced for 4 years in juvenile prison, wirh mandatory therapy. You and Basil were trialed as a minor, and he forgave you once again.... The "heat of the moment" gave you both some grace and all... And it was very obvious, from your mugshot, to your interrogation, to your trial, and finally to your jail time, that you regretted it all. 4 years... Sounds familiar. Exactly the amount of years you isolated yourself. When you were in jail, you got to finally finish your left out high school years. After being released, you got a scholarship by grace yet again... And your case was never reported in the media. You got a degree in Nursing. Not for you, but for... Mari. She wanted to pursue Nursing, she told you a week before the incident...

After another four years, you finished your degree. You applied to your local hospital's nursing job, but the results take very long... You decided to work an early morning part time job, from 1 am to 9 am. You decided to invest in some cryptocurrency as well. This time, there are absolutely NO stairs, well, no required stairs. There is an elevator. There's also a window at the door, in case that hellish "Mari" haunts you again.

Speaking of that... Even after you turned yourself in, almost lost your friends and you parents for justice, and everything... You still haven't forgotten about Mari. Not one bit. You still have dreams of her, and some nightmares of her scolding you for... Pushing her down, and other things. Like that recital. You still wonder... Is the Mari you heard at Headspace, and the one that played the duet for you one last time, really her? Or is it an illusion? Does she actually hate you? Or has she became a set of deteriorating molecules, because there is not such a thing as a soul? So much...

One night, you heard a knock at your door, with a very familiar voice... You rushed to it.

"OHMYGOSH SUNNY! It's me! Mari! You've changed so much, little brother... Sorry if my clothes are funny. I didn't have time to pick!

But could you please open the door now? I-I'm soooo c-c-c-c-cold...." She said. Is "she" really the person she claims to be? Is your lack of sleep getting you? Her face, voice, and mannerisms haven't changed much... She's actually 27 now though... She's almost just like how she was back then. She's just taller now, towering you much more... Should you open the door?

Why did I even ask? You open the door for her, and she rushes to hug you. You feel her warmth now somehow... You must not be hallucinating, or atleast it must not be obvious.

"Ahaha... Your thoughts must be, 'does she want to talk about the incident', RIIIIIIGHT? " She said. Her tone gives you some creeps...

She suddenly lifts you up, forcing you to stare at her. She has a smirk on her face, but it's not something cute... But rather something manic.

"Guess." She said, as if she's trying to mock you.
