The boy and girl were running through the forest. The breeze flows between each hair follicle of the kids as they playfully pass through the mellow trees.

The girl's laugh radiates a similar feeling to that of light making contact with a surface filled with coldness and wrath.

The boy is running alongside her. But he is being pulled by the girl, the sunlight trying to pierce through the leaves which covers a majority of the sky.

After running a long time, they sit on a wooden bench by a large, old dam.

The girl gleefully shakes her legs back and forth on the seat as she munches on her ice-cream. The boy reaches for the girl's face and wipes off the cream on her face.

The girl blushes and stands up, staggering backwards facing the boy. The girl takes too many steps backwards. Before she knows it, the only thing she sees is the boy trying to reach his hand for her, then she sees the sky.

Sebastion Arkley
Hospital Rooftop

I walk up the stairs to the rooftop. I need to take a breather after talking with Addeline.

She is one scary, small girl. I don't know how other people endure her.

As I reach for the doorknob, I could hear shouting from behind the door.

Ah shit. There are people up here?

As I turn my back behind the door I could hear ringing in my ears.

[Please stop it!]

I stood there stunned for a moment, it felt like that voice came from my head.

I reach for the cold door handle, but it will not budge open.

Shit. Should I bust down the door?

[Maybe I deserve this.]

I concentrate all my energy onto the door handle which breaks off instantly and I push open the door.

The first thing I see is an older woman and the girl who was talking to Addeline yesterday. There is an ice wall that is pushing the girl off the rooftop.

Is that woman doing that on purpose!?

I look at the girl.

She was the first person to talk to me after I lost my memory. Why is she here?

I read the situation and I assume that the older woman is an Asteroid who possesses ice abilities while the girl might have been the one talking in my head.

I extend my hand forward and concentrate on the ice wall that is pushing the girl.

The ice wall begins to float and I try my best to move it away from the girl. But my abilities have not recovered from when I battled Addeline.
