Chihiro's POV


All the Omni Lords are here. And all of them know the danger that is incoming.

Except they don't know what it is.

Jaffery may creep up on us at any moment.

Maybe even now.

At moments like this, I really feel like I'm alone.

Especially without my buddy.

Without my buddy?

Well...........yeah.

What happened between us? It happened about 3 hours ago...........


Rough flashback

"I can't handle this anymore!!!"

"Chihiro.........calm down."

"HOW!!!!"

I could tell Reflection was losing her patience. But I just felt like bursting out all my feelings, no matter how much I could have hurt her.

"I understand........."

"NO YOU DON'T! YOU WEREN'T THERE BEFORE!!!!"

She finally lost it.

"CHIHIRO! STOP IT! YOU'RE BEING CHILDISH AND SELFISH! IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT YOU DON'T ENJOY YOUR LIFE, WHAT YOU DO, HOW PEOPLE TREAT YOU! YOU TAKE THINGS FOR GRANTED! YOU TAKE ME FOR GRANTED! THIS FORM OF MINE.........THE ABILITIES ON MY CARD..........IT ISN'T EVEN MY TRUE FORM!!!! THE ABILITIES I HAVE NOW..........THEY WERE FOR YOUR BENEFIT! SO THAT YOU SEEMED STRONG! SO THAT YOU HAD CONFIDENCE...........I'M ACTUALLY WEAKER THAN THIS............."

This sudden confession stopped me in my tracks.

"W-what?"

She stared steely at me for a moment, then sighed, breaking eye contact.

"Sorry Chihiro, but it's the truth. I'll leave you alone for a while."

She conjured up a portal, and disappeared into it, leaving me stunned.


Back to reality

I curled up in a corner of the room, heart thumping. Processing what had happened, what Reflection had said.

"It's my fault?............What did she mean? And this isn't her true form............"

I could only wait, hoping for her return.
