Soon enough the visualization changed to that of a young girl seen approaching a door leading into what was presumed to be a bedroom, her hair was in curls; and was black, she was seen wearing a light pink t-shirt and dark blue jeans along with white sneakers, as she appeared to range from age nine to ten, at the time being she was seen holding a plate with a bowl of ice cream on it, as she knocked on the door.
"Rosetta?" She spoke out trying to get a response although nothing.
"...Rosetta?" She repeated knocking on the door, as she leaned her head against it with a bit of a sigh adding.
"I know what happened at school today, I'm sorry..." And with this, the door leading into the area opened up, as the little girl nearly fell over but quickly regained her balance only to see a much younger looking Rosetta staring on the other side of the doorway- giving her a bit of an annoyed look.
Rosetta at the time being had her same hair color, but it was pulled into a ponytail- while she was seen wearing a green jacket that was slightly unzipped revealing a white t-shirt underneath it, and dark blue jeans with brown jeans, like the little girl she appeared to be much younger than the present time Rosetta, while she looked down at Noami (being a bit taller than her) as she added.
"What have I told you, mom and Dad? I DON'T want to talk about it." She moaned, turning around and approaching further into her bedroom plopping down onto a bed that was presumed to be her bed, as the young girl appeared concerned but began to approach, as she added.
"I know, I'm not here to talk about it; I'm here to give you this ice cream." And with this Rosetta turned to look at her, as the little girl revealed the ice cream to Rosetta, with Rosetta grabbing it and looking towards it noticing the little girl had put a smiley face with chocolate syrup in the ice cream; as she smiled faintly and chuckled.
"...Dimples?" She asked realizing the smiley face had dimples, as the little girl chuckled and shook her head.
"I thought he looked more silly that way..and I thought you could use silly." And with this Rosetta smiled and shook her head looking towards the little girl as she added.
"Thanks, Noami ..." And with this, she hugged with Noami returning the hug and pulling away with a smile.
"Of course sis!"
===================================================================
Soon enough the visualization flashed to that of the present, as an adult Rosetta was seen standing in a cemetery staring towards a grave; various other gravestones seen around along with people here and there visiting their past loved ones, while Rosetta meanwhile appeared concerned seeing the gravestone read Noami, her date of birth, date of death and some words about her; while Rosetta appeared saddened staring towards her and shaking her head.
