Jimin's POV
I-I—
My hands were trembling.
My eyes were wide open in shock.
Everything makes complete sense now.
Why she wasn't afraid of us at first, why she seemed so calm and why Ethereal wore a mask to hide her face.

There were signs. So many.
She told me once that she ran away, that she was forced to make choices.
She promised me to help me with my issue, and I vaguely remember either 슈중 or 슈라 telling Yoongi hyung in the hospital that if anything were to happen to Y/N, we would offend more people than we could handle.
Plus I remember hearing 용수 say Y/N's name when I was about to leave the plane.

Flashback:
Blurting out a hurried sorry I dashed off the plane with the speed of light, escaping from my predicament.

But it was not before I heard him complaining under his breath, "My face too? And I still have to change my clothes! I'm so going to be late. Y/N is going to be so mad at me."
Flashback ends.

I heard it. I wasn't hallucinating then...
It really was Y/N.
Y/N is Ethereal, and Ethereal is Y/N.
They're the same person!
No wonder this collaboration was possible...
I need to make sure! I need to ask Y/N! Or Ethereal! Whichever. I need to hear it out of her mouth. I need to see her remove that mask right in front of my face! I need to see it with my very own eyes.

Y/N's POV
My mother huh?
I wonder what it's like to be a mother?
What's it like to receive a mother's love? Was Angel ever truly a mother to me? My mother?

I laid on my bed as I stared wistfully at my room's concrete ceiling. Tonight, for the first time ever, I was going to deliberately skip my nightly training routine.

I couldn't sleep. I am so used to being awake at this time that I couldn't even shut my eyelids long enough to say my own name. This resulted in me just laying still on my bed with my mind going on overdrive.

In two days. Two days, I'm going to see her again. I'm nervous. I don't know what I'm going to say what I was going to do once I confront her.
I want to ask her "why"?
Why didn't she love me
Why does she hate me?
Isn't she my mother? Don't mums all adore their own kid?

Also, what really happened to my father? What went on before his death? His death was shrouded, and still is filled with mystery.
용수 refused to tell me. But he was there! I never understood why he would always avoid my question. I know for a fact that he didn't kill him. I would always remember his truthful, yet raging voice when he told me that, quote-unquote, "I DIDN'T KILL HIM. HE DIED BY ACCIDENT. I tried to reach him but... It was too late."

I saw the regret in his eyes. I believe him. He isn't a person who would do something like that. He may seem frivolous and completely unrestrained, but he is sensible.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

The sound of someone at my room door was heard. I was alarmed as I leapt out of my bed and onto my feet, directly staring at the entrance of my room(which essentially is the door).

A soft voice was soon heard from behind said door "um...Ethereal? A-are you awake?"

Recognizing the voice immediately, I scurried to grab my mask. I placed it on before popping the door open.
