The same question once again

It was the first time that evening that 'Guiying', the alter personality in Guiying who had been protecting her for a long time now, had shed tears. 

'You did your very best.'

'I am so, so proud of you.'

His voice felt like a warm, gentle tide of the ocean, but it rang a loud resonance inside 'her' heart that shook her from within. There was no reason to believe that Zixin was talking to 'her.' He was in the dark about 'her' existence. It should have been Guiying. The Cai Guiying everybody knew as CherryBlossom.

But for the first time, 'she' felt that he was talking directly to 'her.' 'She' suddenly felt exposed but more than that, 'she' couldn't explain why a tear slipped past her cheek.

It was a short call. Zixin said a simple thank you. But it reached the deepest part of 'her' heart because it was the first time that 'she' felt recognized.
