Anemoia Echoes

Thoughts of entanglement and belief (22)

Dartz has gotten everyone to sleep together in the same world away from the Horizon Ward after her talks with Rigel. She wanted to see what they are going to do next, as she realized her hair was still short from Aika's attack back at Rekai District. As she was thinking about her hair being long once more, it suddenly regrows at a quick pace back to its normal state. Dartz has now realized that she could cut her hair to let it be short and that she can grow it back if she just thinks about her hair growing back to normal. She right now was cleaning herself off, as she was alone in a shower taking a long stare into space as she thought long and hard about her life so far. Then began talking about it all to herself in the bathroom "Heh heh, my life is turned into anime girl... I began to talk to others like it was a normal thing I always had done before..." Dartz looks at her own body plus finally normalizes her life now that all her changes in her life and seem quite comfortable in her newfound life now despite what had happened. She washed her body, as it was normal now, and was no longer flustered or embarrassed by the girl body she was put in. She began talking more in her shower talk as she continue her bath as the water was endless in this reality but her feelings had turned heavy. "Dad, Mom... I hope you don't miss me a lot" She tear up a bit as she feels a surge of emotion running through her heart "I feel like I know I will never return home anymore" She wiped her tears in the shower even though the water already carried away her tears into the drain. "Stay safe...Dad and mom... I wish you could have heard my last goodbye..." She only now coming to terms with that this is her life now and that this is her normal now. "Mom, I wished I could have to hug you before all this happened... Dad...I wished I could have told you how great you were... *hic*" She could only cry that she will never get a chance to meet her mother and father that she was somehow spirited away into this reality without realizing what had happened. She could cry and speak as her parent was there to listen to her wish and grieves "Mom and Dad...I'm doing fine...I have my friends here with me...*sniff* Not all of them are doing great but they are still here with us... I made a new friend with a person that isn't normal like our world...He great friend who tries to protect us." She gave her last parting words as she finally accepted the fact and gave her last cried. "Mom and Dad, I love you...please stay safe...don't try to find me and just live out the rest of your life in happiness...I'm so sorry for not loving you guys more... I love you so much Mom and Dad..." She collapsed onto her knee and let the warm water wash over her. She took a while longer in the bath before coming back out in only a bath towel around her. Dartz seem to have released the emotion of her pains as she saw that Shaman was still asleep on top of a sleeping Rigel. Tiger was sleeping on the sofa nearby and Consta was sleeping on a baggy sandbag chair as she refused to sleep on the same bed as Rigel. It seems Consta kept true to her own words despite her getting saved by Rigel. She went to grab the clothes she had left in a nearby room, she wants to put them on despite that she could have easily just spawned into existence on herself. She put on her clothes and got into her normal attire as the attire themselves seemed to heal on its own as it was her hair like before. She was tired from all the mental strain she had and went to get on the same bed where Shaman and Rigel were on and rest next to them on the bed. After a long rest, she had woken up to a commotion that caused near her as she sat up to see what was going on. 

Shaman was blushing and flushing hard as she jumped off of Rigel onto the floor which causes a ruckus and commotion that nearly woke everyone up but Tiger who was a heavy sleeper this time around. "Wha! Why was I sleeping on Rigel!?" She had made a clear distinct sound that everyone quickly took notice of right away.

Consta who was sitting on the baggy sandbag chair looked over at Shaman. "You began to sound like a girl?"

Shaman was a bit confused as she looked at Consta "What do you mean I sound like a girl... wait? have I always sounded like a girl?" She seemed confused by what she just said. 

Consta was perplexed by Shaman's confusion and replied again to Shaman. "Um no, you were a guy before we came into this reality or however you guys say it, and besides you always spoken in a somewhat masculine voice."

Shaman began to think and remember what had happened and fell into a small silence "Oh right..." She sat down on the bed "Why did I think I was a girl for a second... and began acting like one..." She thinks about it more. 

Rigel interjects his reason to help Shaman understand. "You lost your memories, it seems that it was eaten away at your identity"

Shaman looks down "Uh, I'm sorry. I don't remember a lot of my memories...or the important ones to be more specific" She felt conflicted about her existence and only remember a few things that she still could make of that was important to her. "I uh don't want to attend any more of the bullet-hell district anymore" 

A shock came through everyone and who had heard it. 

Consta knowingly understand what Shaman had felt and too said the same thing. "I'm sorry, I too don't wanna do this Bullet-hell district anymore as well."

Rigel was shocked as he couldn't say anything that will gain their conviction for the Bullet Hell, he only could merely accept their words. 

Dartz tried to convince both Shaman and Consta. "Why? I know we had gone through-"

Consta refused and cut off Dartz "No, please don't even try. I don't think it is worth our time now." She looks directly at Dartz "I'm not going to risk myself anymore, the loss is probably too great. Rigel has shown already failed his task in protecting us. Even if it was one time, it was already too great." She looks at Rigel "Why did I even put my own life in your hand, a thing that wasn't even one of us"

Dartz became angry and screamed at Consta for the constant put down on Rigel "Consta! why are you still going about him! He had done all that he could, of course, he had failed in protecting us once but he still saved us! without him, we would still be in that bullet hell still dying till we are nothing more than ourselves in this reality!" She was so loud that it had woken Tiger up from their sleep. 

Consta was conflicted but still, stay firm and yelled back at Dartz "Do you understand that my life is more important! then this stupid bullet hell, besides who we are saving isn't anyone I remember in my life!"

Dartz strike Consta by grabbing Consta by the neck collar "Aikasuyuri that you know! is our friends! our past life back at this world where we used to call Earth!" she shook Consta in anger state "You may not remember it! you haven't seen Aika but she is here but she didn't remember us but I believe somewhere inside her right now is the Aika we know of!" 

Consta grab Dartz "Sorry! but hell I don't even know her and even if I did remember her now! I don't want my life to become something that I wasn't!"  She glared at Dartz in return over the argument. "I will not let myself be wiped clean! You can do it all your own! You wannabe Hero!"

Tiger quickly split apart with her strength "Stop it! we aren't supposed to fight among ourselves!" 

Consta looked away as she stood up "I won't be staying here any longer" She opened her menu, and gave one look at everyone then turn away and left the world.

Shaman looked worrisome about the situation earlier that just accord and went up to Rigel "Rigel, I can't do it but I could only apologize... but thank you for taking care of me." She got onto the bed and rolled up the blanket on herself.

Rigel only stays silent and sighs "This is fine..." He open a portal that only led back to Horizon Ward. "Dartz, you can talk with Tiger about this situation... and if you wished... You can start Hioru District...just make sure to notify me." He left the world into his own portal. 

Dartz was left standing there all alone with Tiger and Shaman. She couldn't do anything at the moment but only relay to Tiger what had happened.  Dartz found herself only found that she may be the only one attending the next fight. The fight to find out more about Aikasuyuri's existence and with Rigel's request to save her.
