"Hey, Troy" Yami sighs
"Yami?" Troy turns around
"I'm so sorry" Yami hugs him
"I thought that-how did you die?" Troy asks, hugging her back
"I let her kill me, I should've died and you should've lived, I know that you can see all that sh*t in the future but I don't care, you and me are friends and I couldn't bare having someone sacrifice themselves for me" Yami starts crying
"Hey, hey, it's okay, we're going into heaven together, alright? You and me" Troy smiles, petting her
"Yeah, you, me, and Alayna, maybe a happily ever after, finally, r-right?" Yami forces herself to stop crying
"Yeah, I just...I'm sorry you couldn't have your full happy ending and you had to end it with me" Troy sighs
"It's the best ending I could've thought of" Yami laughs a bit
"Alright, let's go through the gates" Troy lets her go
"Yami, I've...I've gotta tell you something" A Mexican woman with dark black hair stands to the side
"Go ahead, I'll be there in a second, promise" Yami lets him go
"Alright, see you in a bit, I'll be waiting for you" Troy walks through the golden gates
"What's wrong?" Yami turns to the other woman
"You know I like you-I love you, and I wouldn't do anything in my power to hurt you, right?" The Mexican woman asks
"Yeah...Alayna, what are you saying?" Yami asks
"I can't go with you" Alayna sighs
"WHAT?" Yami steps towards her
"My soul is stuck in the shadow realm and you know what happened to it, the whole place just collapsed in on itself, I'm so, so sorry Yami" Alayna crouches down
"No...this...no" Yami falls backward
"I know that I haven't done that much for you, but...can I ask you to do something else for me?" Alayna asks
"Yeah, anything, you know I'd kill for you" Yami quickly crawls to Alayna
"If you're gonna stay with Troy, I'm almost certain that you'll go back to Earth with him, when you do, this is where my favor kicks in, are you sure you wanna do it?" Alayna asks
"I said I was before, my mind hasn't changed" Yami shakes her head
"Alright...when you get back down there, I need you to be cold towards the world, only make friends you know you can trust, once you do, open up to them slowly, but when you see Troy again, you can act however you want, keep up the cold-heart killer or open up quicker than a bud on a flower in the summer, I know it's a lot but can you do it?" Alayna asks
"I think I understand...yeah, I can do that" Yami nods
"Make sure you remember everything Troy teaches you, you don't know when you'll need it since you can't rely on me or Ren anymore" Alayna explains
"Right...I just...can't believe this is happening" Yami stares down
"Don't start crying" Alayna rubs her forehead
"I won't, I'm-I'm sorry, I just-I'm gonna miss you" Yami gets up, somberly
"...I'll be honest, I thought of you like my kid, I couldn't take care of Petra so I wanted to try and redeem myself, I hope I partially did it with you" Alayna puts her hand on Yami's shoulder
Yami hugs Alayna
"I love you" Alayna pats her back
Yami slowly lets go
"Bye, Yami...I hope we see each other again one day, if it's even possible" Alayna puts headphones on
"Me too..." Yami rubs her eyes
"I'll send you my playlist later, bye YamYam" Alayna waves
"I'll quote you on that" Yami points at her, grinning slightly
Alayna waves, disappearing
"...When I get down to Earth, stone-faced motherf#cker" Yami walks through the gates
