"Who the hell are you?!" I asked again.

"You really dont remember, huh? Think! You dont have that brain for nothing."

I looked in her eyes,with her hand still grabbed onto mine and little by little I began to remember.

"Look! The squirrel is so cute! Can we name him Chubby please?"

"What a name for the poor squirrel..."

"My backyard, what am I doing here?"

"Hey Kai,ready to fight some math? I know how much you like it,hehehe!"

"Shut up! I hate it so much!"

"I'm just kidding!"

"The school hall?"

"Let's go to the festival together! It will be so much fun,dont you think? It will be our first time."

"Will our parents let their 8 years old children go there alone?"

"Yeah! Mom said it's okay,yours too."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at 5 pm,dont be late,because I'll go without you."

"Okay! If I come late I'll get us icecream,if you're late you'll buy me cotton candy, deal?"

"Deal!"

In the end,I bought her cotton candy,I was late by one minute! Damn it!

"Does it taste good?"

"Yes! Want some?"

"But the losers dont get medals."

"Who cares? It was just a bet,come on!"

After some time...

"Woah! They're so pretty! The stars falling from the sky!"

"Its just meteors,Eva.."

"I dont care,I still believe in the old tales about Souls falling from the sky to begin a new life."

"Sure.. if this is real then I'm Chubby the Squirrel... Ouch! What was that for?!"

"No way you're Chubby! He's smarter than you!"

"Sure.."

"The last one who arrives at that stand is an old snail!"

"Hey! Not fair! You are 5 meters in front of me!"

"Why do I remember these? No... it's not possible.."

"Now you remember?"

"You're not her! She's dead!"

He pushed Eva back and raised his hand but.. someone whispered in his ear.

"Kai stop! You've hurt her enough!"

"That voice..Ivy?" He began to tear up,his dead wife was talking to him.

When he heard Ivy's voice,Eva escaped and went to find Mako,he didn't went far away,he was on the rooftop.

He was crying because he felt so helpless. Always having her protect him.

"Hey

"Hey.. dont cry,okay? I'm here."

"But.. I'm alone.." 6 years old,and she took care of me.

"You have me! Until every star in the universe dies, you have me!"

This memory played in his head,when he was crying because he was alone.
And he wasn't, he always had her by his side.

"Hey.. dont cry!" She shouted.

"Eva!" He got up and hugged her.

"I know you dont feel anything but please..dont go."

"And what if I said I feel your warm hug?"

"Huh?" He was confused, he heard her saying she doesn't feel anything.

"With the Celestial Lights and the rain of magic I am able to feel again,but I'm sure it's for a short period of time."

"In glad... for once you can feel alive again."

"It doesn't matter if I'm dead of alive,what matters is that today is the happiest day of my existence." She tightened the hug a bit more.

They stayed like this for a while until Mako broke the silence.

"Did he do something to you?"

"I told you,he cant hurt me anymore and I wasn't alone,Ivy got his attention. She showed up,and I thankful for her action."

"What do you mean by 'anymore'?"

"You didn't realize this ,did you? Well.. when I showed you my memories, he was the guy you always saw. He threw my books,he took my notebook."

"No..way."

"Yeah.. and we were friends at some point. Always playing in his backyard,being always together. It pains me that people so dear to you can turn into your worst enemies."

"Does that mean everyone is my enemy?"

"No. Yukio is someone who will always support you. He cares about you,even if he doesn't show it."

"Hey Eva..Why do angels have wings?"

"Its for them to travel across the two worlds. You,humans call us angels, but we are Asterias, Chosen Souls tasked with different missions."

They talked more,getting into subjects
they've never touched before. Mako felt something in his chest, and thus he was asking her all the things he didn't before.

"And then... everyone left me. It was the most alone I've felt in a long time."

Just as they were having their chat,Kai,Mako's father was slowly approaching the rooftop.

When he appeared, Eva walked in front of Mako,protecting him if something else happens.

"What do you want?! Didn't you hurt us enough?" Mako shouted at his father, filled with hatred towards him.

"No.. I just came to say sorry for hurting you Mako."

"Well you can leave! I dont want to hear your apologies."

He looked up,with his face looking at Eva.

"Is that really you.." She extended her hand towards him and with tears in her eyes and said..

"No!! Dont say my name just yet!"

"Evalin Comorodo?"

"No!!" She screamed and fell to her knees,with her head crying in her arms.

"Eva! What is wrong?!"

"Why do you hate me so much,Kai?"
