7 7 - (Ellyn) Memories
*************Ellyn perspective****************
(A few hours earlier)
"Ellyn, I very much hope that you are reading this letter. If you are reading, I already know that you entered my room through the window and are seeing a piece of clothing under that letter. I don't know if it's up to you, but it's worth a try. Signed, Sebastian. "
* looking at the clothes
He surprises me more and more with these dubious things. But it's better than nothing .. .
...
Where did he get that outfit from? This tight ... is suffocating me... I'll have to make with my own way. .. I think I will have to remember some Gacha's clothes ... Ah I know!
* green energy arising
...
Much better! Much more comfortable and more practical ... But I will have to get used to it. It's been a while since I've worn clothes different from my Elementia's style. Will serve.
- Hmmm ...
Sebastian's room is much tidier than I thought it would be. A computer, a wardrobe built into the wall, a small bed with a headboard next to it and that hanging cabinet with some books. I think organization should be something he likes a lot because each book has a number and in order. But I think it's better not to mess up anything ... But I'll take a closer look here .
( A few minutes later)
Why doesn't time pass? I'm getting really boreeeeeed ... You know what? I think I'll see how much energy I have ...
* green energy emerging from the hand
Sigh ... I'm wasting more energy than I should have ... Invisibility for 1 and a half days straight, 5 arrows shot and this outfit. I didn't expect it to be a lot of energy for a few times used, but I think I should regulate that. It seems that refueling with mystical energy is not an option ...
I will still need to do one more thing ... And I will have to concentrate quickly.
"Spirit of the wind, guide me in the face of emptiness. Your presence will reveal the truth. Wind Searcher ... "
Hm ... Even though it is a world that has minimal magic energy, I can feel some very specific directions. I expected there to be more distant areas where I had more people here, but maybe I was wrong .
Okay... 3 directions. How strange... 2 of them are pointing east, but there is 1 pointing west from here. Like, I remember seeing buildings where those 2 directions were pointing, but this other ... I'm going to see this better with Sebastian.
* rotating door handle noise
Huh ?
*door opening
Ah, dust. Why do I always have to hide here under Sebastian's bed ?
I only see someone's legs coming in , but strangely, one of that person's legs seems to be hurt because it looks like it's forcing the other leg.
- Honey? - Huh ?
- Yes? - What a calm female voice ...
- Want some help? - Whoever those other legs are at the door, he seems to have a manly voice.
- You don't have to. I 'm getting things done. - Why is she touching Sebastian's clothes?
- Yeah...
- Don't you think you're worrying too much about me?
- I'm not worried. I know you are capable.
- Then why are you there looking at me?
- Why is it good to see you struggling ~~
- Well, if I don't do it, nobody does it, right?
- Gross - Yeah, it was really gross.
From the voice, I think it must be Sebastian's mom and dad. I thought his room would be locked ...
- Why didn't you go to work today?
- I did a great deal for my bosses at the conference in Chicgao. They told me to rest since it was hard to do that in 5 days.
- Talk is something cansactive? - Yeah...
- Well, aside from the fact that I had to make a lot of calls, run after other employeers inside the conference and get a snack for the bosses, talking was the least. - Wow...
- Oh, I see. And yet, you're still asking me to get more tired .
- Work is one thing. Another is to help you here at home. If you want I can make dinner.
- Are you going to make microwave lasagna ?
- Am I that predictable ?
- ( laughs ) A lot ~~
From their conversation, it seems that they are doing well. But it doesn't even look like they are married, but as if they were young grooms ...
- Hey... Do you know that surgery thing? - Surgery?
- Yes. What did they say?
- They said they do it in Chicago, but ...
- But ...
- You would have to do physical therapy for a while .
- And would I have to spend time there?
- Well, it was about what I was going to say ... What if we we changed to ...
- No. - Huh?
- Honey, there are more opportunities for Sebastian and Cassandra. We might even be able to stay close to you when you do physical therapy.
- I said no.
- ( sigh ) Why do you still insist on staying here? We have been here for 5 years and you told me you wanted to travel, visit new places. And yet, he prefers to stay here...
...
- Do you remember what I said when we started being together?
- Yes ... I remember ...
- And what is it?
- That you wanted something that would make you remember every day. Something you would never forget.
- Yes ... And what did you tell me ?
- Hmph ... That I would make you have the best memory of your life.
- Yeah ...
...
- That memory is our family together and happy ... The years we spent here in Creast Fall were the best years I have had. We made new friends, our children bonded with other people , started to become what they want to be, you got this job after a lot of effort and I ... started to build up the courage to understand that it wouldn't be a defective leg that would make me stop.
...
- Larissa...
- For me , just moving to Chicago may be good for you and me, but ... What about Sebastian and Cassandra? They would lose those bonds. Those things that they are starting to give more value and attention to would be thrown away. And I don't want them to lose any more things because of me ... They almost lost my presence when we risked that treatment. And it was painful for you when you had to take care of the house and you didn't know what to do ...
...
- Ethan ... For them, I can live like this. What matters is that they also have happy memories just like you and I are having here. .. As we met, when we got married when we started to have our own lives ... I don't mind having to spend the rest of my life so if you are to our family will be happy...
*silence
- If that's what you want ... Fine...
- Thank you...
-Come here.
I see the two get closer and I think they are hugging together ...
- I love you, Ethan.
- I love you too, Larissa.
Memories...
- Hey, I think we better get out of here. It's almost time for Sebastian to be released from school. And he won't like to know that their parents are dating in his room.
- If that's what you say ...
* door closing
I get out from under the bed. And I keep thinking about what Sebastian's mother said ... Whatever she has, she would rather stay that way than change his life and Cassie's. .. Are parents really like that?
"Memories..."
I think I'm going there with Sebastian. If I meet him there , we can already find directions. And ... I don't think it's time to ask him, but if I postpone I won't have much time until things get complicated ...
* jumping out of Sebastian's bedroom window
I'm going to have to go without invisibility this time ... Breathe ... Act naturally, Ellyn.
...
Walking around here reminds me of the time when I traveled a lot between the kingdoms in Elementia. Looking at everything in a thorough and calm way ... and sometimes, helping some people along the way. This calm of this world leaves me with a strange feeling . I think it's the valley of strangeness that was told to me before coming here ...
I see some teenagers in the same uniform that Sebastian wears. Passing through some of them, I already realize that they are looking at me differently. I'm so weird to be looking at me like that ...
- Huh ?
How strange ... I had the feeling that someone is looking at me differently ... Not like teenagers who are seeing a girl, but a look ... seriously. Weird..
...
* facing the school where Sebastian studies
Maybe and I had come here first. There's a lot of magical energy here! But as if I passed by here yesterday and I was meaningless ? But I don't know ... This energy doesn't seem to be that intense. I can feel a high amount, but high for a world with little magic ... If there is someone in this school, then I think ...
- Sorry, are you waiting for someone?
I look to the side and see that friend of Sebastian, Stella. But why is she wearing this outfit and her uniform tied at the waist? Like, it suits her, but it keeps her very "masculine".
- Ah yes. I'm waiting for someone. - NATURAL, ELLYN!
- I see.
Logically, though, she's expecting Ian or Sebastian. What if I...
- Do you know anyone named Sebastian?
Out of nowhere, I just see her expression change in a way that made me a little tense.
- Sebastian?
- Yes.
- Yeah ... What's he like? - Is she making a fool of herself?
- Well, he's white, short black hair with a little bangs, almost my height. He has a ...
- A scar on his right arm? - Wow, does she even know that?
- That's it ~~
Now I got more tense with her ...
- One minute, okay?
- OK...
I think someone was annoyed. She ended up taking her cell phone and started typing something. I'll have to wait.
- Excuse me. Your name?
- My name is Ellyn.
- Humrum ...
I just hope that nothing wrong happens ...
...
5 minutes later, I see Sebastian, but he looks ... nervous? You better agor a way to ease it a bit ...
- Hi, Sebastian.
- Come here. - Hey, don't wrinkle the jacket, please!
He ended up pulling me to a side wall, holding me as if I were a large piece of wood.
- What are you doing here?
- Huh? Weren't we going to walk around town to show me the whole thing? I only came here because I thought we could do it this afternoon.
- (whispering) But you could wait for me near my house. - Okay, with a chance for your sister and your mother to see me.
- (whispering) Sorry, but there was something I wanted to confirm
- (whispering) Confirm what?
- The what are you two whispering there?
Why does Stella look nervous, too?
- Ah , Stella ... Well ... is that ...
- Won't you tell me that you two are ... - Two are?
- N-NO! I mean ... that's not what you're thinking. - Thinking about what?
- So what is it?
I think I better say something before it gets worse for Sebastian ...
- Well, I'm a friend of Sebastian. I saw it from a distance and thought it would be a good idea to visit him, after a long time without seeing each other.
I just see Sebastian's eyes shining with hope. I think I got the persona right.
- Friend from afar? I don't remember this. - And I don't think it worked.
- W-Well, it's just that she's been a friend of mine since before high school. Only that.
- I know, but they couldn't meet anywhere else? Like, then everyone will say you're ... you know ...
Wait ... did I become a household destroyer? Ahem ...
- I was very anxious and came to see him soon ~~
I end up hugging Sebastian's right arm, but apparently, I don't think Stella is falling for that pretense.
- Hey, not wanting to be boring, but can you get away from him a little? Get away, get away. - STOP TASTING MY JACKET!
- Excuse. I just missed him a lot. - I think I exaggerated this ...
- Se.bas.ti.AN !
- Fine. The fault is mine. But in my defense ...
- What defense what? You are almost at risk of being buried alive!
- Do you think I don't know that, Stella?
I'm lost. Why are they both too nervous? And buried alive? Who would do that?
- Pardon. What's really going on here?
- Can you give me a minute here, Ellyn? - Ok ...
I just made a gesture , but I walked away from them for a moment and stood against the wall nearby.
- Huh ?
That feeling ... Why does it look like someone is watching me?
...
- Don't come with this one. You'll owe me one!
* looking covertly
I think their conversation is over. But why is Sebastian running his hand in his pants pockets.
- Ah, Sebastian! You dropped your phone!
I look to the side and see a girl coming towards Sebastian ... Wait ... This girl ... Oh, damn!
- Ah, thanks for finding Naomi. I thank you from the bottom of my innocent soul.
Naomi ??? Are you serious? It's the girl who ... It can't be. If she is here, it means that... I think I better get out of here before she sees me.
- Sebastian, shall we? - What face is that, Sebastian?
- Huh ? - Oh, no!
...
- Sebastian, who is that girl behind you?
- Well, she is ... - She must not have seen me ... I think I better follow the wave.
- Hello. My name is Ellyn. I'm his friend ~~ - ELLYN, YOU DONKEY!
- Oh, hi. Naomi Yuhkana. Nice to meet you. - Sebastian, help here!
- I never saw you around here. Do you know Sebastian from where? - If I say about a forest, would you believe it?
- I ... - Sebastian, say something!
- I?
I'll have to improvise ...
- I've known Sebastian for a long time. I had moved from this city about 2 years ago and decided to come back. I heard that Sebastian was studying here and I came to visit him. - Don't ask any more questions, please!
- Oh, I understand. It's just that Sebastian never told me about a friend of his who left Creast Fall .
- You know what he's like. Always forget one thing or the other. Hehe ~~ - What is this strange situation that I am going through?
- Yeah ...
...
- Naomi, I'm going to need your help. Is it okay if we go? - Stella, you help emergency l perfect!
- Ok ...
My holy father! Glad Stella helped a lot in this ... I think we're free from this ...
- Ellyn, can I say something? - Too early!
- Yes, Naomi ~~
- The next time you come to see Sebastian ... Wear less flashy clothes. I know we don't have anything against flashy clothes, but I think it wouldn't be good for a girl to walk around like that.
What? Flashy ?! Your...
- Oh sorry.
- No need to apologize. It's just a tip, if you know what I mean ...
- It's just that Sebastian doesn't know how to choose clothes for a girl anyway ~~
...
Looking at Sebastian's face, it looks like a lightning bolt hit him. I didn't see him making that face even when he passed out in the forest.
- Really, Sebastian ...? - I just think someone is angry.
- Haha ...
- Anyway, have a good afternoon, Naomi and Stella ~~ - And forget my face, please Naomi!
I can't believe it worked! If it is exactly who I'm thinking, I think that is something I did not realize right in this city .
I started walking slowly in a direction here, but Sebastian is standing there, looking at Naomi , but he ended up turning around with an expression of ... I don't know what that expression is.
At least, we will be able to be alone for a while ... THERE'S NO MORE SCARY FOR TODAY!
...
(Other side of the street)
* looking at Ellyn from afar
Just like he told me. Green air and green eyes, white skin, impulsive behavior ...
- Hmph ... How would say that the daughter of a god would act like that?
