It only took four days until Octavia saw Robin again. Octavia sat at the office desk, looking over papers about who was left in the population.
She still didn't cross off Robin Reyes because if she did...it would be real.
"Are you gonna cross it off?" A voice echoed the office and Octavia jumped up.
"Ro-Robin?" Octavia stuttered, staring at the woman she knew was dead.
There sat Robin Reyes, in an office chair.
"You can cross my name off, I'm not living anymore." Robin looked up from the chair.
"How-How are you-?" Octavia took small steps towards her dead lover.
"How am I here? I don't know, you tell me." Robin stood.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Ro." Octavia said.
"No need to apologize, O, it doesn't change things." Robin stepped closer to Octavia.
"I can't do this. I need you here." Octavia shook her head.
"I am here...right in front of you." Robin tilted her head.
"You know what I mean." Octavia thinned her lips.
"Who are you talking to?" Indra's voice echoed the office and Octavia masked her flinch as she faced the door.
"Indra. You should've knocked." Octavia told the woman.
"I did, you didn't hear." Indra, once again, looked in the direction Octavia was once looking in. Octavia followed her gaze and saw Robin was no longer there. "We should talk about-"
"No." Octavia sat back down, already knowing what the woman was going to say. "There's a new rule and I want you to make sure everyone understands. If anyone ever mentions her, it's an immediate execution. Clear?"
Indra looked forward for a moment. "Clear."
"Good." Octavia looked back down, crossing a name off her list.
