"when can I see my sister?" The voice came out sounded like a young boy. Then Ellie  stood up on the stairs and walked down. The couple hesitated.
"You can see her. She looks just like your mother." The man says.
Ellie's body moved with our her permission and walked over to the basket. There was a baby with brown eyes but you could easily mistake it for gold. A tuft of hair was on her head and she has rosey cheeks.
"Wah" the baby responded.
"Don't touch her. She's dangerous." The mother said strictly.
Even though they said don't touch her she touches her anyways. Nothing happened. The couple flinched waiting for it. Nothing.
"Ellie. Ellie is her name. Can we call her that?" The boy/Ellie asked. The sliver of Jia's soul is a little lighter than Niko's. The parents smiled awkwardly. "Sure... Go to bed now." The couple said.
"Is grandma dead?" Ellie asked without her permission.
".. go to bed honey. I'll make pancakes in the morning." The mother said. The boy ran upstairs and into his room.

There is a cracked black sphere and a blue piece of sphere bounces about,  trying to get out. Niko opens the jar and reaches in. He puts the blue piece in between the two black pieces and it spins and swirls, creating one black sphere with a blue spot. Niko pulls his hand out. He closes the jar. Niko is back. Back to normal. He then can see. Niko rushes out of the soul room and speeds through the hallway until at the other end, he sees a door. He opens it and runs through. Niko drops out of the sky, landing on the grass in front of Jia. His soul is unstable since now it's been tampered. Jia sees Niko. Her weak legs give out. She falls. Directly onto the grass. It went black. There was light. The boy ran down the stairs and Ellie got the feeling that she was excited to see herself basically. When she got down there was no basket with a baby in it. Nothing..no sounds either.
"Mama, where's Ellie?"
"Who's Ellie?" The mother said while pouring pancake mix in a Pan.
"My sister!" The boy said.
"You don't have a sister." The father grunted and walked to the couch and sat down.
"I do-" the boy was cut off.
"Must've been a dream. Let's eat now." The mother said and flipped a pancake onto a plate. Niko blinks. He walks to Jia and crouches down next to her. "Jia-nen muh heh?" Niko asks in a thick Korean accent. "Jia? What are you doing?" Siona translates. "Jia-nen gwaenchanh ni?" Niko asked, clearly worried. "ELLIE DOE! MUHLAGO!?" Siona shakes her head. "Jia are you ok?" She translates. Still in Niko's voice. "Ellie too?! WHAT!?"

Niko looks weirdly at Siona, confused at why she was repeating what he said. "Nuh nen hanguk mal heh." Siona says. It translates to "You are speaking Korean". Niko gasps. "MUH!?" He shouts. "WHAT!?" Siona shouts in Niko's voice. "Stop shouting please. My head aches." Jia sighs and stands. Niko blinks. He sits down, looking at his feet and breathing fast and heavy. "Nah nen hanguk mal heh? Jinjah?" Niko whispers. He's near enough for Jia to hear him. Jia looks at him. She just blinks. "Am I speaking Korean? Really?" Siona repeats. Jia nods. Niko shakes his head slowly. "Oh god. Oh god." His voice switches back to English when he says that.

Jia laughs. "It's ok." She says. Her voice is throaty. Niko smiles. "An genchan heh." He mumbles. "Inje neoneun naleul doul su eobs-eo." Niko sighs. "It's not okay." Siona translates. "Now you can't help me." "We have Siona to translate for now." Jia states. Niko shrugs in return. Jia laughs. Jia shivers all the sudden. A cold breeze catches her skin. It is a abnormal cold. She looks at Niko, shakily finally standing still. Sin stands in silence, than runs up to Zelda room. Jia watches the boy. "Oh yeah. Zelda's room." She says. He opens the door, the room is white, he looks at the desk, a 'Welcome to the black parade' album is on the desk with a couple of suicide notes. Sin takes a look at some of them and sighs. Sin bites his lip, he wants to scream, than be accidentally presses a button, the beginning sequence of 'Dead!' comes on. Jia looks at Niko. "I'll stay with Ellie.” Sin laughed, "this is probably what Zelda thinks of Niko... And everyone else in this world besides me..." Sin doesn't turn it off and keeps looking around the room. Sin looks around the room which each item there's a memory. Sin shakes his head.
