Kyoka silently blinks while the body of Lachesis stands right before her. Breathing, alive. She’s covered in blood and dirt, and scars from what looks to be forbidden alchemy decorate her arms.
Lachesis was supposed to be dead. Kyoka saw it happen right before her very eyes. Much to her dismay. It had been several months since that fateful moment.
So how—
“I’ve missed you dearly, Kyoka-san.” Lachesis finally speaks. Her voice is just like how Kyoka remembers. Her heart begins to stir as memories of their time together flash before her eyes. Tears begin to form in her eyes.
How?
There’s a massive whirlwind of emotion that swirls inside Kyoka as she’s left speechless. She still loved Lachesis, having many dreams where they’d meet again one day. Even wanting to bring her back herself through whatever means necessary. No matter the cost.
But to see it happen like this…
Kyoka feels so much. And it changes every second. Joy, sorrow, grief, fear, confusion—her mind and heart race in unison.
“L-Lache-chan? Is that really you?” Kyoka hesitantly takes a step forward, before freezing in place.
The figure before Kyoka only smirks before walking closer, heels clicking on the floor.
