Anemoia Echoes

The Fox in White (57)

Dartz and Shaman arrived at Tiger's home. They went over to the bedroom area where Aikasuyuri was. She had been unconscious for a long while, ever since the Subjugation of Aikasuyuri. Only now has she begun to show signs of waking up. She has been slowly moving around and showing facial expressions in her sleep. While Dartz and Shaman were arriving by following Deyla to the Home World of Tiger, both Consta and Tiger were already watching over Aikasuyuri, as they were the ones who noticed her waking up. Then Dartz, Shaman, and Deyla quickly ran over to the side of the bed. 

Aikasuyuri had fidgeted around in the bed before opening her eyes. She looked around and shot up. "Where am I!" She quickly looks at all of them. "It is you guys!" Her personality seems off to the Heroes of the Horizon. "Dartz, Shaman, Deyla, Tiger, and Consta." She looked at them intently while seemingly showing way more emotions than before. "Why am I still in VRChat? I don't usually sleep in VRChat at all. I need to get off now..." She went to reach her head to remove her VR Headset, and suddenly smacked her face with her hands. "Ouch...Huh? Why can't I get my VR- ..." She looked at her hand and slowly reached around her face with her hands to feel it. 

Shaman looks at everyone else in the room. "Huh? It seems she isn't Aika from the Horizon. Like she's a different person?"

Dartz replied to Shaman. "Looks like our first reactions when we first appeared here." 

Aikasuyuri looks up at them with confusion. "What is going on?" She hears the word "Horizon" and begins to remember memories. "Are these my memories?" She places her hand on her forehead as she struggles to utter words. She seems to remember more and more.

Consta looked at Shaman. "We still don't know all that is happening here." She put her hand on her chin. "It seems like-"

When Aikasuyuri looks up at them all, she snaps into an almost completely different personality than before. "Heroes of the Horizon... Thank you..." She slowly removes the blanket from her and tries to get up off the bed.

Dartz looks back at Aikasuyuri. "Huh? What is going on here? You're back to the Horizon Aika?"

Aikasuyuri shook her head and smiled. "I think I began to understand what happened to me. Although I'm unsure if this was real or not." She jumped out of bed and looked at them, then bowed like a royal bow, like a princess. "Thank you for helping me and saving me." She looked up at Shaman, and her face changed. "Sorry, my dear Hero, Shaman." She walked up to Shaman and looked at the cap on top of Shaman. "I assumed Rigel had perished and the pink one too." She bowed and apologized in a manner. 

Shaman was taken aback by her apology. "Eh? I...The pink one...is alive but..." A tear begins to fall, but she wipes it off. "Rigel..." She grabbed Rigel's captain hat and held it to her chest. "He did everything for us all... So please, don't waste all of what he has done for us." Shaman looks at Aikasuyuri. "Aika, Rigel brought us back together. Everyone still doesn't understand what is going on, but I think Tiger could provide us with information."

Aikasuyuri changed back to her personality and put on a soft smile. "I guess my acting skills were a little too good, wasn't it? But yes, he indeed brings us back together, but even I'm unsure how and why..." She looks at her hands. "I killed you guys, and I'm unsure why I'm even acting differently..." She touched her face. "It feels like I'm living two different lives... yet both seem so familiar and so real." She turns to look at Tiger. "Well? So what information do you have?"

Tiger gestured to Aikasuyuri and the rest to follow along. She led them back down to the basement area where the pool was, but there were three pictures near the pool. "Aikasuyuri, do you remember this picture?" Everyone was surrounding Aikasuyuri in front of the picture, and then the three of them realized something. The picture contained Roz Asteri in it, with Tiger, Dartz, and Aikasuyuri smiling together now. "This wasn't here before... I'm sure it was only the three of us. Now, Roz Asteri was one of ours?" Memories began to flood into their head.
