“Is that even a question? How vulgar to think it was going to be someone else but me!"

Finally a moment alone. Is not like Sayaka doesn’t enjoy everyone's attention on her, but even she needed a moment to contemplate her future. She rested over her new bed. Small compared to the one she is used to. The room itself was… Small for her taste. But she didn’t need more than that. This was going to be her year, as she pretended to succeed on her own ambition of becoming the prestigious student she knew she was, next graduate with plenty of honors as Doctor. Just like her Father once did. After all, one day she would inherit the family business, and she would need to take the lead on their private clinics around the country.

She had everything she needed in place, yet she felt something was missing. But she had time to kill right now. There was a big ceremony to congratulate new students, where Kyoko had to be. Cornelia wanted to go, but when she noticed Sayaka wasn’t interested, she dismissed the idea. That was annoying for Sayaka. “Look, if you have no will to do what you want, you have nothing to do by my side” That’s what she said and left her outside her room.

Minutes passed and she found nothing to but stare at the floor and saw a orange pillow that reminded Cornelia hair“(It’s obvious a girl like her would want to be like me, but no one can)”

She needed to keep her mind occupied until the night ceremony, where her dad will come.

This was boring as hell. Exploring the faculty sounded interesting on paper, but in practice it was pointless. At some point someone decided to put maps everywhere, Sayaka lost count of how many times she read ‘You are here!’. She walked with no particular route for what seemed to be hours.What options does she have? Social media was always the same, hundreds of friends' requests were fun to read at the beginning, but ended up being annoying so she turned off her notifications. Then there were the constant updates on Cornelia showing the initial ceremony, like Sayaka actually cared about being updated on something so pointless.

“So far I found that brute of Tori and her sidekick… Vanessa was her name?”

Tori was one of the few people in the world who never showed any form of respect to Sayaka and even talked back to her, she never gave a thing about Sayaka status or anything.

In the long term both of them never actually existed for the other, mostly because Sayaka thought a brute like her would never be worth her time.

Vanessa was even worse, she knew nothing special about her beyond being always around Tori. Not really much to create a profile on Sayaka’s head. She hated to not know about people, what they might be thinking or saying on her back…

“(What were they talking about? Something about a boyfriend or something)” Why did she care about them anyway? She noticed she got lost while thinking about that “Ugh.. Not my problem! Where Am I?” What Sayaka noticed was an old building that was consumed by nature, the place was long ago abandoned. “I remember now” Years ago, Tina Koya was a school not different from where Sayaka studied. Those were the humble beginnings of what ended being one of the most prestigious universities from the entire country.

This building is the last remnant of that past, but it turns out that place was about to get demolished to create a new building in honor to Sayaka’s father from his last monetary donation. The place was going to have their last name, something she couldn’t understand why none other building had until then “I practically own this place, it's only fair” She watched the old windows around the place, some broken while others were entirely missing “I won't miss this place at all…”

But when she was turning around she remembered Luten’s words “What I’ve come to learn recently, is that nothing happens by casualty” Why was she remembering that now?

Abigail ‘Abby’ Luten, an old associate of Sayaka’s father and woman of authority for what Sayaka remembers, but that wasn’t the woman she encountered last time. The once strict and serious woman abruptly changed in less than a year for an unknown reason, she ended up constantly smiling and laughing. She even set free her once formally tied hair. It was wholesome in a way, but annoying for Sayaka as she felt Luten was trying to teach her a lesson she couldn't comprehend. Mostly for those cryptic and random comments. Worst part was that she was a Dean at Tina Koya, meaning she was somewhere around.

Yet those words came back once again “(I think… Oh?)” It was then when Sayaka notice through a open windows something shining “(What’s that?)”

Why did she go? Probably because of her boredom, probably Abby’s words, but in the end Sayaka felt the impulse to enter the old open door. The place didn’t look particularly bad, out of all dirt, weed and old architecture, it still gave the place of a school. Yet it was doomed to be demolished in a few months.

Concerning what Sayaka saw, it was the reflection on a mirror that was facing a room with no door. Sayaka went inside to notice it was more than a single room, a small house. It had a bed, an old janitor uniform, and improvised kitchen, another door that probably led to a bathroom and that was all. Nothing that could produce the shining she saw.

But then something fell behind her “Ahhh!!” She fell on her own because of the noise. When she recovered herself, she noticed that what fell behind her was a necklace “(Was that hanging on the ceiling?)” She took it and noticed it was a big emerald. “There is no way this is a real onel!” But how could she tell? “The gold part looks real tho…” Then she saw an inscription on it “What is… ‘Who wears this necklace has the power to merge’ Ah? And what does that mean?”
