Me: Hey guys. Hehehehe. *takes a step back as the crowd starts to form* H-hey now, let's be reasonable, shall we? I have an excuse regarding of my absence these past weeks. I can assure you that everything will be crystal clear once— *freezes when a dagger shoots off at my direction*

Astra: *smirks* You'll have to be more convincing, Lynn. Everyone won't take your pathetic excuse at this rate.

Me: The only thing I can convince myself right now is that I wish I didn't regret creating you. *scowls*

Astra: Ouch. *shrugs*

Me: As I was saying, I really apologize for my absence. I'll be honest, ever since I transferred to another school (again) for Grade 12, I could barely write stories anymore. Everything is too...overwhelming and stressful. I really didn't know which is which I'm going to start. I could feel my writing skills fading away, and that saddens me a lot. Believe me when I say that every time the night dominates the universe, I tend to overthink a lot before I sleep (I'm sleep deprived) but now, I always think about... everything: my future, myself, my goals in life etc. that it's becoming beyond my reach. It saddens me because I feel that my skills in writing is diminishing, and that terrifies me. I've sacrificed my talents for writing when I could have enhanced them in my childhood days considering that I have a lot of time before. Writing has become a part of me, and I wish not to part with it. Ever. If my writing skills parts with me, I feel as though I lost a part of me— and you know how that feels right?

Astra: That's really deep.

Me: You're being sincere now right?

Astra: Trust me; I am. I can already tell that you're tired.

Me: I am. *sighs* Sorry for the dramatic note. I usually don't write down my life but I just wanna share what is currently happening right now. Anyway, here is ArcturusStar's request. I apologize for the delay update. I hope you understand. Thanks for waiting.

REQUESTS ARE CLOSED FOR NOW. I NEED TO FINISH THE OTHER REQUESTS FIRST BEFORE ACCEPTING ANY REQUESTS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND CONSIDERATION.

Enjoy~

It's funny to her when before this all had happened, she refused to make any physical or skin contact with anyone, regardless of their age or gender. Perhaps she wasn't the type of person to be too friendly with anyone despite if said anyone is a close friend or a family or a relative. Either way, her reasons stay the same: she wasn't that much of a friendly person or...rather, she didn't like to feel as though she was being harassed.

People are different; opinions and thoughts of each person is no different concept. And that is the same for Aqua. She is different in a way she doesn't seem to appear like those girls from her neighborhood. Unlike some girls, Aqua prefers to be in her own solitude— only the company of music and the darkness is enough for her. Unlike some girls, she, for one, has never experienced being free. She has never experienced the company of the other girls around her neighborhood so the term of 'fun' never occurred to her. Unlike some girls, Aqua, a natural midnight-blue hair always tied in a French braid (courtesy of her deceased father) that seem too different from the other girls, is a girl who has been holding a curse in her entire life.

Aqua, in short, has been blind the moment she was born in this universe.

Her mother, who had been there for her since she was a toddler has always prodded her to consult an ophthalmologist to have her eye surgery.

It was never too late, she told Aqua one day under a lazy midday afternoon. Aqua would shut down the music box that was given to her by his father after he left in a military, her whole system freezing up in dread and sudden anger, but then she would relax herself before speaking up her expected and usual reply.
