14 years old. She would open her eyes and witness the familiar white walls and ceiling of a laboratory. There were whispers inside and outside of her head, she couldn't distinguish the source. The girl had heard something about her scientist parents were developing and modifying her to be the perfect successor despite being the only daughter. Other prestigious families would consider marrying her off to a son of a wealthy conglomerate but so far her mother's wishes are different. At least for now.

This procedure is common. She had wires all over her chest and head. This is to achieve perfection at all costs. Although it would be unnecessary for her to be good at a lot of things at once but in certain things, she had to.

There isn't a day went by where she didn't think that her own self is artificial. Even the name Aphrodite overall feels surreal. Eventually she knew that some cosmetic surgeries has been done on her to achieve perfection. After all, beauty has always been so superficial, she thought.

White is the colour of her world. The ceiling, walls, medical and scientific equipments, lab coats, Dr Alex. He was the only doctor with a charming smile as he always knew what to say to make a child feel better. Aphrodite had trusted in this man ever since.

But she doesn't trust anyone else to handle this particular information. Having this disorder while striving to accomplish a lot of things as a future successor is quite an impossible feat.

Nobody would want to befriend a nutcase.

Despite everything, she still had lovers in the past. They did not know the severity of her troubles, and her family background. In difficult times they helped the goddess type to fight and develop her own perseverance, until she met her previous soulmate. Alice left her not in the pretense of a break up, but due to the fact that her family would wed her off to some other rich boy due to bankruptcy; and the poor girl committed suicide, leaving a note only for Aphrodite. The note was destroyed right after it was found by the goddess type.


"We will meet again. I will always wait for you."

"My dearest Aphrodite."



The purple haired girl heard faint whispers upon regaining consciousness. Some of them were loud and some rather hushed. She could recognize a distinctive voice belonged to Dr Alex, as she's used to it after all these years. Aphrodite witnessed a familiar white ceiling, a small infirmary located inside the mansion. She blinked for a while before trying to process the people who were in the room. All the hosts were around, naturally. Aphe couldn't find a reason nor energy to be defensive anymore.

"You're awake. I'm so glad to see you again." Haruhi immediately rushed to the bed and wiped her tears.

"Aphrodite, my dear. Welcome back. Your friends are very concerned about you." Dr Alex spoke softly. "This is a first. No one else dared to barge in senselessly into the mansion except your new friends here. Radical, really."

Aphe managed to force a weak smile on her lips. Dr Alex should've seen how erratic they are during host club hours.

Tamaki wished her to get well soon, his face was laced with concern. The twins, Hani and Mori brought flowers and fruits. Kyouya leaned against the wall and observed the situation from afar while concealing his emotions.

"Thank you for visiting, everyone. I appreciate it a lot. This is a battle I can't put into words. But someday, I will explain everything." Aphe spoke. "Please don't worry too much about me. I'll be attending school as usual."

"That particular day won't come if it's from you, Aphrodite." Kyouya hissed. He snapped from his trance, his mood completely rotten and a mess.

"Kyou-chan, this is not the time." Hani frowned, trying to calm him down. Haruhi gasped.
