You were currently on the deck, sitting on the wooden floor with crossed legs as you looked up at the sky. It was currently middle of the afternoon but you could see the clouds shifting to a starry night sky, both orange and blue mixing perfectly. Sighing, you ran a hand through your silver hair before counting the starts that were just starting to appear.

One, two, three.

"What are you thinking about?," K asked from next to you, her sitting position the same, purple cape draped over her knees and legs. You glanced at her and stared at her face, noticing the small smile that was barely noticeable. Huh, how strange.

You pressed your lips together before looking up at the sky once again. Sky. For the first time, you doubted your identity. Were you really Sky? Who were you? The stars were coming out. Four, five, six. "You can read my mind, right?"

"I only choose to," K faced you, a now evident smile on her face, purple eyes glinting. You blinked multiple times, a bit taken aback by this sight and even secretly pinched yourself to make sure you weren't hallucinating. "This time, however, I would like to speak to you."

"Who are you and what have you done with K?," You squinted your eyes as you picked up the scabbard from the ground next to you and drew your sword out, pointing it at an amused K.

"Sky, I am very much myself," K laughed a bit as she shook her head and leaned backwards, using her arms to support her as she looked up, silver hair falling off her shoulders. Wait, laughed. You were getting more confused by the second. "Forgive me for my actions before. I realized that I haven't been that kind to you."

Despite your confusion, you still managed to smile. You've always known that K wasn't the emotionless woman she claimed to be and you were glad that she was finally opening up. Although, a small part of you wished that she would have done it sooner to avoid awkward silences and sarcastic remarks right in her head. "It's okay. You have your reasons for acting that way."

"You truly are as kind as he says you are," K whispered and you unfortunately failed to hear this. The Helian woman put on a smile, which brightened up her usually dull face, before tilting her head slightly. "Now, Sky, what are you thinking about?"

You frowned. It wasn't because of K's question but because of your answer. You turned towards the sky once more and brought your knees up, hugging them close to your chest, glad that Suran's outfit had given you shorts instead of a skirt like Emily's. "I'm thinking about the sky. K... ever since you told me about my parents, I've been thinking about my identity. Am... am I really Sky? Am I really the person I've known myself to be for eighteen years? I don't even like I was supposed to be guardian. All I did was find them but I can't even protect them when I need to."
