Reflection

You lay in your bed as your ship lands in the tower's hangar. Lilly was sleeping nearby, how could it be that she could sleep so much?

As you lay there you thought about your encounter with Cerberus and what Eris said. After straining your brain for a while you returned to the inevitable failure of trying to remember your past.

When you finally decided that you were done trying that, you went over what you could remember. Every moment from waking up on Nessus to your recent talk with Eris.

You thought about the events you can remember for a long time, always returning to your past.

You continued to think until you eventually went to sleep.

You woke up to find yourself in the same uncanny environment you met Cerberus in.

"I see." You hear the voice of Cerberus speak.

You abruptly turn to see only one of the three, the one with the chain.

"Wha-

You only began to speak when a spine-chilling feeling hit you with ****.

"You should know when to speak." She takes slow steps toward you. "And when not too." She says.

She stands about a step away from you now.

"Despite the way you live, you still seek to know your history?" She brings a finger to her chin. "That's interesting, and to me, only adds to your appeal." She leans forward slightly. "The others think differently. They believe that you are haunted by your unknown past, or rather haunted by not knowing it." She shakes her head. "I don't see that in you." She abruptly stands up straight and brings her hands to her hips. "How else would you be able to utilize its contents, or build to what you have?"

"Its contents?" You ask.

"Your past. You can access all of your knowledge so long as the picture of the life you previously lived is blank." She snaps, the clothes that you were wearing when you first woke up on Nessus appear on your body. "This is the only thing painted on the canvas of your past. Yes?"

You strain yourself for memories regarding the clothes, but the only ones that you see are waking up on Nessus and getting rid of them.

Your clothes return to normal as she sighs. "Even in a situation like this you are trying to make contact with your memories." She grins. "Not to mention, you asked a question after what happened when you tried the first time." Her grin turns to an open smile. "With no hesitation as well." An almost invisible tint of pink paints her pale cheeks before fading. "Further proving the qualities we believe are right."

"For what?" You step forward, attempting to establish even a slight amount of dominance in your situation. You were getting your answers.

The pink on her cheeks becomes more noticable, if only slightly.

"Magnificent." She mumbles, eyeing you repeatedly. "You managed to take a step despite your situation. Did you even feel what happened when you tried to speak before?" She chuckles. "You really want to know." She folds her arms. "You're making a better display of everything now than in the entire time we've been watching."

You almost said something before you noticed her eye change. Her eyes were void of anything that was there before, her gaze looked as if she was dead.

The other two girls step from a bright light that appears on either side of the first girl.

Their eyes were just as empty, but only for a moment before they all returned to normal.

"She was lying." The one with the band states.

"Hardly." The plain one says.

"Should we tell him?" The one with the chain asks.

"Absolutely not." The one with the band speaks.

"I agree." The plain one says.

Their eyes empty again.

You take a step back without thinking, your body acting opposite your brain.

Their eyes return to normal.

"That is true." The one with the chain nods.

"I must admit the alternative sounds quite entertaining." The one with the band says.

"Either susception would be interesting to see." The plain one speaks.

"However our purpose shall be fulfilled." The one with the chain says.

The others nod.

Their eyes empty. "Make your choice, we know you've been thinking about it for some time now. Make it soon, or everyone will regret the inevitable decision." They all speak at once.
