Chapter-38: Meeting Theresa and Anti-Entropy

About a half an hour later, Himeko finally got a call from who I presume to be AE, meaning that their meeting is finally over. They accepted my deal with the condition that I'll have to come to them with Himeko and I'll have to restrain myself from any aggressive behavior. I understood where they were coming form, but it still hurt a little to be treated like this. (Is this how Kiana felt when she was feared by almost everyone in AE?)

Himeko wanted to tell them to take it easy on me, but I stopped her. If she would say something like that, they would become suspicious. Himeko understood that, but I knew that is still bothered her. I gave her a small soft smile and told them the small list of people that I chose: Welt Yang, Einstein, Tesla, Theresa and of course Himeko.

Himeko already knew that I wanted to keep my identity a secret, but she was still surprised by the small number of people I chose. They hesitated at first, giving the identity of the chosen people, but they accepted and told us they would be on their way. Giving the distance between Salt Lake City and Soukai City, it will take a few hours before they'll arrive.

"Now that's done..." I begun to say. "I'll go to my room." I turned around and started to leave.

"Do you even remember where it was?" Himeko asked, a little sarcastically if you ask me.

"Nope." I said, not even stopping to look back.

I went to the stairway and went up. Even though I said I'm going to my room, I am actually exploring the house. Normally, I would feel too ashamed to do something like this at a stranger's house, but I didn't feel anything like that here. Arriving at the third and last floor, I walked through the hallway, passing door after door. Even though this was my 'first time' seeing them, I already knew they wont lead me to the room I want to enter. But then I reached it.

Opening the door, I saw a room similar to the one I had at Schicksal, yet there were small details that no one could replicate. This was my room. I walked around and my eyes landed on the wardrobe. Curious if my taste changed after living here, I opened the wardrobe. Inside were the usual clothes I am usually wearing, sorted for different occasions and their number was a lot greater then what Otto tried to immitate.

Putting some of them aside, I found a hatch under some sets of pyjamas. I open it and found some more girly clothes and... skirts. Looking at them, I was feeling a little embarrassed, but truthfully, I did felt curious if I looked good in them. (With a body like this, everyone would feel curious of how she would look in clothes like this...)

With that thought, I glanced over my shoulder at the door before getting up and walking to it to make sure it was closed. After I got that out of the way, I took the clothes and dressed up. Going to the mirror, I looked at myself and I definitely didn't bought this clothes. I(am not a narcisist) looked beautiful in this clothes, but they were a little tight in some parts. Unlike the way I buy my clothes with comfort as a priority.

While looking at myself in the mirror, my eyes fell onto the framed photos on the table. The photos were similar with the ones I saw in the album. Forgotten moments of my life here frozen and captured on a laminated thin paper. Unlike the photos in the album, the ones framed here were with me and my adoptive parents, friends and daily moments of my life here. Unfortunately, this ones too didn't bring up anything more then the sentiment that I did those things and meet those people.

*Knock Knock*

"Enter." I answered.

"Diana, I made some snacks..." Ms.Ashley said while she opened the door, but stopped for some reason. "It seems that even after almost a year, they still suit you." she said giving me a soft smile.
