It's a strategy to ensure I remain

Ghosting

She sat down next to me on the couch. « So where should i start with that? I should probably explain how we met and the rest after. » I tried to listen to her but my mind wasn't even thinking straight. I'm feeling really dizzy. Maybe it was because of the ghost effect. « So yeah we decided to create an nation named sankofa and you were the founder of it with Ace and me. » I noticed in her face they're was still a huge event that happened. She was looking at the ground with a small face and I knew that if I asked more about it I might have the answer why I look like this now. « But Aiko, what happens after sankofa ? » she was hesitant but she spoke. « After that we followed 2 people, one is Jax and the other is Toby. Both of them were looking suspicious and something was off when they saw the nation. So we both decided to follow them and we ended up in the forest. We both got defensive so we took our sword and they thought we were attacking them. We decided to catch Jax to ask him what's wrong with our swords and he got scared and during the moment we didn't focus on the rest. » « so what happened ? »

I can see in their faces that she was trying to keep her tears to herself. « Well we did not focus on Toby... sadly the person that Toby hit with his sword was you.... » Her last words were the only thing I could focus on. My death happened like that !?!?!? I was standing in front of her with tears on her face. The only thing my mind kept was my death, i couldn't focus on the rest except that. « I wish i could have protect you from them... » they spoke in a quiet tone. « Aiko it's alright we have to deal with the present and thing happens you know. » she looked at her watch and saw it was already night. I was feeling a bit tired after all the information about my past that I've learned today. The only thing that keeps spinning in my head is my death. « Hey whither i know its a lot to learn in a day and i can see in your face you look kinda traumatized. Maybe getting some rest can make you feel better and we can still talk about it tomorrow. » I looked at her and nodded. « Aiko i have a question. » « mmh ? » « do you mind staying here for the night? It's kinda difficult for me to learn everything today and it's pretty late. » They look at me with a soft smile. « i don't mind at all. Also, I think it's better if someone stays with you today. ».
