A nameless flower field.

The white-haired woman kneeled down in front of a white flower.

A lone Liliweiss had bloomed in the middle of the field.

''Hello.''

You shouldn't expect an answer from something inanimate.

''I promised myself not to come here again but...''

Sigh.

The wind swayed past.

''We're all together now.''

''Snow, Dorothy, Rapunzel, Red Hood. You know them, the silly ones.''

''Scarlet, who isn't a Grimms Model, but let's skip that for now.''

''Avalon... Is our newest member, so I don't expect you to know them.''

The woman takes a deep, yet shaky breath. Then exhales.

''Back then... We were all at each other's throats... Weren't we?''

A wary chuckle.

''Everyone was going for each other like a bunch of kindergarteners. We were all complete strangers to one another.''

''Thankfully, it has gotten a lot calmer now.''

.  .  .

''I still remember all that you used to say...''

''About wanting to be a beacon of hope...''

Something feels hollow inside this woman...

''That... Wish... Is coming true...''

''And it will continue to do so...''

.  .  .

A single tear droplet flows down the woman's cheek and falls unto the flower's capitulum.

''I wish you were here with me right now... I think you would've gotten along with everyone...''

''You would've been such a cheerful addition to the team...''

And the tears just keep rolling.

''T... They ask the same question, over and over again...''

''Who was the first Grimms Model? Where are they?''

''I try to shake them off but...''

A sniffle...

''My sanity could only tank so much...''

''My heart sinks deeper than the world's ocean every time they mention you...''

''One day I forget, and the next I am reminded of...''
