Kiara hurriedly put her shoes on and grabbed her jacket.
"Where are you going?"

She turned around and saw Sean and Ashton standing in the kitchen's door opening. "Oh uhm, I was about to visit Cassandra.." She said. She grabbed her keys and walked to the door.
"I got to go now becau-"

Ashton grabbed her wrist and sighed, "Kiara hold on." He said.
It stunned Kiara because he never called her by her first name. It was always Olton. "What's wrong?" She asked and turned around.

Ashton looked over at Sean who was looking at the ground. "We got to tell you something love. It's important." Sean said.
Right at that moment Casey and Crystal walked in as well. "Hey friends! Why is everyone up already?" Crystal energetically yelled which led to Killian waking up as well.
"What's going on in here?" He asked.

Sean sighed and rolled his wheelchair to the dining table, waiting for everyone to join. Crystal recognized the serious expression on his face and her eyes widened. "Wait are we..?" She asked.
Sean looked at her and gave her a small nod. "It's time." He said.

Kiara and Killian exchanged a weird look and Casey gasped. "Excuse me. Why are you all leaving me out of this secret? Am I suddenly not part of this group anymore?" She exclaimed.
Crystal chuckled and grabbed her hand. "It's not that, we just didn't have time to tell you and we knew it would be extra hard on you." She said.

Casey knitted her eyebrows together. "What do you mean? Why would it be extra hard on me?"

"Kiara, when Crystal and I were looking for the serums, we found something that could change your life forever." Sean said.
He grabbed the shoulder bag and opened it, revealing the oblitus serum.
"This right here, can make you forget a whole week of memories. It would make you forget about SCP and us. You could go back to your old life. But if you don't take it, You have to forget your old life and we probably have to stick with you for like forever or at least until SCP trusts you to keep it all a secret."

Kiara's eyes widened. This is the serum they were talking about on her first day at Pow. The serum she so desperately desired.
She pulled it out of Sean's hands and looked at it. If she drank this, She would erase all the memories she had of them. She would even forget about her brother again. But is she wouldn't drink it, she would be forced to let Cassandra go.

"I need to visit Cassandra first. I need to see her before I make a decision." She mumbled. "We totally understand." Sean said with a sad smile. Ashton shook his head and groaned, "No we don-" He tried to say something but Sean jabbed him in his stomach. "Shut up." He said. But Kiara was too deep in her thoughts to even realize what Ashton had said.

She stood up and walked out of the door. Not saying anything else. She had to find Cassandra. She had to see her.

Casey

Casey looked at the table in front of her. She was deep in thought and didn't know what to say. She heard the door slam closed and a soft hand was put on her shoulder. "Are you okay friend?" She heard Crystal ask.
Casey shook her head and stood up. "You guys should've told me." She muttered while pacing around the room. "Why didn't you fucking tell me?" She pushed something off the table and dug her nails into her palms. Anger was washing over her because she rather wanted to be angry than sad.

She hated feeling helpless. She could only hope. And hope was never really something she did.
Crystal wrapped her arms around her shoulders and laid her head down onto her back. "It's okay. You don't have to keep it in. Just let it out."

"She's gonna leave us." Casey muttered. "She's gonna choose Cassandra.."
Ashton walked up to her and squatted down in front of her. "She's not okay? We're here. All of us. Cassandra has been in a coma for years. Yes it's sad but Kiara knows that she has to move on and she wouldn't want to erase all the memories she has with us." He said.
