"ᴄᴀɴ ʏᴏᴜ ʀᴇᴍᴇᴍʙᴇʀ ᴡʜᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴇʀᴇ ʙᴇғᴏʀᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ ᴛᴏʟᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡʜᴏ ʏᴏᴜ sʜᴏᴜʟᴅ ʙᴇ?"

A loud voice echoed in the dark void. You continue on walking trying to seek for an exit. When you were pulled into the portal you passed out due to the change of dimension. You woke up to find yourself in a white dress with a gold belt. You didn't question why you're suddenly in a different attire, you just went along with it.

The voice kept repeating its words from earlier. Irritating you to the max. Was the voice waiting for your answer that's why it keeps on repeating their words?

If you do answer, will it even stop?

Deep in thoughts, you bump on an invisible wall making you fall on your buttocks. You rub your temple from the impact as well as your lower back.

"A dead end..." You mumble to yourself, standing up and placing your hand by the wall. Slowly walking as your hand glides on the invisible wall. The voice went quiet, you could feel it's still there, just quiet. Before you could go far you came to a halt when you felt another presence in the void.

You turned around to see a figure covered with black substances. You both stared at each other not moving nor speaking. "ᴄᴀɴ ʏᴏᴜ ʀᴇᴍᴇᴍʙᴇʀ ᴡʜᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴇʀᴇ ʙᴇғᴏʀᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ ᴛᴏʟᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡʜᴏ ʏᴏᴜ sʜᴏᴜʟᴅ ʙᴇ?"

A vein showed on your forehead as you smiled. Looks like you have to answer the question after all. You sighed before speaking. "Yes. Why do you keep ask—"

"ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ ʀᴇᴍᴇᴍʙᴇʀ? ᴏʀ ᴀʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴏɴʟʏ sᴀʏɪɴɢ ʏᴇs ᴛᴏ ᴄᴏᴠᴇʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛʀᴜᴛʜ ᴛʜᴀᴛ..." In a blink of an eye the figure was not in front of you anymore. Two hands gripped your shoulder as they put its weight on you. "ʏᴏᴜ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ʏᴏᴜʀsᴇʟғ ᴀɴʏᴍᴏʀᴇ?". Silence engulfed you. Not knowing what to respond. You felt time slowed down, you can hear your very own heart pumping loudly. Your eyes wide open, thinking of any ways to defend your answer that you ᴅᴏ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ʏᴏᴜʀsᴇʟғ. You shook your head in disbelief

"What?"

A single word left your mouth. Before you could continue speaking the figure twirled you around. Your white dress following the movement. You're eyes met with dark ocean blue eyes. The figure was no longer covered with dark substances instead it became a shadow figure, the only humane thing is his eyes.

"ʏᴏᴜ'ʀᴇ ᴀʟᴡᴀʏs ʀᴇᴀᴅʏ ᴛᴏ ᴀᴄᴄᴇᴘᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛʀᴜᴛʜ, ᴛʜᴇ ʜᴀʀsʜ ʀᴇᴀʟɪᴛʏ..."

It gently squeezed your hand before leading you to somewhere. "ʙᴜᴛ ᴡʜʏ ᴄᴀɴ'ᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀᴄᴄᴇᴘᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛʀᴜᴛʜ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴅ ʟᴏsᴛ ʏᴏᴜʀsᴇʟғ ᴛʜʀᴏᴜɢʜᴏᴜᴛ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴊᴏᴜʀɴᴇʏ?"

You stayed silent, tears building up in your eyes. You speak in a low voice not caring if it'll end up you crying over your words, "I achieved my expectations for myself... I hadn't lost myself. I'm still the same... Nothing changed." The shadow figure continues walking, still holding your hand, It stayed silent waiting for you to continue your words knowing deep inside, you have a lot of words to share. "But maybe... That's what I think? I may be successful but sacrifices were made for me to get here."

"ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴛʜɪɴᴋ ᴛʜᴏsᴇ sᴀᴄʀɪғɪᴄᴇs ᴀʀᴇ?" It asked in a soft voice. Your head hung low as you remembered what you sacrificed. The want to feel comfortable with the things you're doing, the want to freely express your emotion, the want to not be stressed, it filled your heart.
