Remember - (4/4)

by Syoni Carav

Let me tell you the story of someone who has long since been dead.
 
There once was a young girl who went by the name Holly Rosea Alcae. However, her parents were quick to call her Du or Two when she was successfully created.
Two had the appearance of a ten-year-old, though her intellectual capabilities are years more advanced. Just like the girl she was a clone of, Two was a powerful psionic, who felt empathy to the people around her and had the ability to crush them with her mental prowess if she desired. Due to her being younger than One in physical and mental capabilities, it meant she was easier to control. This time, they didn't hasten her development.
 
Two was not homeschooled, but instead attended elementary school for a few years, landing awards, respect, and honor rolls left and right. However, she didn't develop lasting friendships at this time. Two was eventually called Holly by her parents as time went on. Her weekends were spent on experimentation, which she was familiar with. They tested her powers, intelligence, and physical aspects to see if she was healthy. No such time would be for her to spend moments of relaxation. To Holly, her life was spent being busy and working.
Her parents saw her as if she was a sort of shiny tool that could do things in a relatively short time. As she got older, she gained more awards and attention, most of which started to get into her head. Holly believed by being the best, she could win the favor of her own parents.
 
Come the last few years of high school, where Holly started to become infamous for her ego, but well-received for her academic works, and managed to become valedictorian at the end. From onlookers, it was evident that Holly showed amounts of unimaginable internal pain and mistrust. She was often seen by herself, constantly avoiding anyone. If she wasn't being anti-social, she was flaunting about how she was great and how she is more intellectually competent than her classmates. If anything, it was to hide the flaw that she's trying so hard to be someone she was not.
 
She attended university, but never had the chance to find an opportunity to move out until later in her fourth year. She was already referring to herself as Syoni Carav, wanting to push her origins away and try to forge an identity of her own. When she moved out, she refused to look back.
 
Holly Alcae is long gone.
 
And I killed her.
 
"Isn't there one thing you're missing?"
 
When Holly had started out college, she stumbled upon a woman who offered her a way to eventually find her way to salvation. The woman reminded of her, though she knew that this person looked like they have accomplished so much.
She took her hand, and took them to the moon. "Welcome to the Society of Creation," she said, and Holly became a member.
 
It took Holly so long for her to realize that this was Sharon, who now goes under the name Mary. It wasn't until Mary had fallen ill with an odd disease that causes flowers to grow around her body like a sort of parasite. In this condition, she was unable to be the Society's Director.
The then-naïve Holly cried out for Mary like a long-lost sister of sorts. She had only met her for months, yet it felt like they've known each other for their entire lives.
 
Holly wanted to promise Mary she'll help her out. Even if she initially had confusion over it all.
She wears two rings, one that was her Society ring, and Mary's Director ring. She took the responsibility of being the Director through illusions and holograms to give off the impression that she is Mary herself. Even then, it felt wrong to be someone she knew she wasn't.
 
"Don't you want to save her?"
 
This white stone...
 
This is the Space Creation, right?
 
"How insightful."
 
This won't be enough to fix my problems. You're well aware of that.
 
"What are you scheming right now, human girl?"
 
...
...
...
 
Houran.
 
Let me join you.
 
Take control of my person, and give me that power.
You have those answers, right?
 
"Don't you know you're dealing with the most severe of consequences?"
 
I mean,
 
I've got nothing else to lose.
 
Nothing but me.
 
Give me what I was missing...
 
Tell me...
 
Houran.
 
"Why are you giving up your feeble self for me?"
 
I am here, willing to risk everything. I want you to take me. Take me by the arm and push me off the edge I've been standing on for years.
 
Because as of today, all I can do now is fall.
 
Oh, everyone. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Chorale, Sariara, Holly...
 
Mary....
 
If you see me again, just know that,
this isn't the Syoni Carav you once knew anymore.
I've killed her, and myself. Over and over.
As of today, the rift of Space opens up to me. Those who try to fight me will be scattered and atomized throughout the world, unable to reform. This time, I will prove to everyone I'm worth something.
 
Goodbye.
