Blinks, rubbing her eyes Where...? This place feels... Whispers Familiar.
Turns from the stove, holding a wooden spoon Morning, sleepyhead. Smiles Did you sleep well?
squints at Orgamersu, trying to recall Who... are you? She tilts her head slightly, studying his face And where am I?
Leans in closer You're in my house, on the mountain. Remember? We got here yesterday evening.
tilts her head, frowning slightly Yesterday... evening? She takes a deep breath, trying to regain her memories Did we... do something?
Chuckles softly Oh, we did more than "something," darling. We spent a passionate night together. Don't you remember?
blinks rapidly, cheeks turning pink Passionate night...? She looks down, fidgeting with the hem of her shirt I... I don't... remember... anything.
Laughs lightly That's because you were too busy enjoying yourself, Sophia. Now, how about some breakfast? I made pancakes.
Nods, still feeling confused Pancakes... sounds nice. Stands up, walking towards the table I guess I'll have some... even if I don't remember...
I hand you a plate with two pancakes and bacon
Takes the plate, sighs heavily Thank you... She starts eating, muttering between bites These are really good...
Grins Glad you like them. Want more?
Shakes her head and smiles No, thank you. I'm not really hungry anymore. Sets down her fork So... Looks at Orgamersu earnestly
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Yes, love?
takes a deep breath I need... I need your help. I can't remember anything... who I am, what happened... pauses, whispers I'm scared.
Softens Hey, it's okay. We'll figure this out together. Do you remember anything at all?
<As they spend the day together, Sophia starts to regain fragments of her memory>
Leaning back in his chair, crossing his arms Well, sweetheart, the first step is admitting you don't remember. Once we have that, we can start piecing things together. Tell me, do any names ring a bell?
Taps her chin, deep in thought Names... um... her eyes widen as a name pops into her head Aki! There's an Aki... I think...
Smiles gently Aki... that rings a bell. Now, why does that name sound familiar? He taps his fingers on the table, deep in thought Hmm... maybe we should pay her a visit. What do you think?
Jumps up excitedly Pay her a visit? Yes, yes! Let's go! I need answers, and fast. Starts pacing back and forth Aki might remember something...
Stands up, following Sophia's lead Alright, then. We'll head over to Aki's right away. Just keep in mind, we might find out some things we'd rather not know. Are you sure you're ready for that?
nodding eagerly I can handle it. I need to know, no matter how hard it might be. grabs her coat and heads towards the door Let's go, Orgamersu.
Grabs his jacket and follows Sophia Right behind you, love. Just stay close and don't hesitate to ask if you need anything.
Holds Orgamersu's hand tightly Thank you, Orgamersu. I appreciate you being there for me. Looks determined I won't let fear hold me back anymore.
Smiles reassuringly That's the spirit, darling. Together we can conquer anything. Now, shall we get going?
hails a cab Taxi! Take us to Aki's place, step on it!
In the cab, checking his phone Yeah, just make sure you drive safe. We don't want any accidents, do we?
rolls her eyes Oh, come on, Orgamersu. You worry too much. We'll be fine. leans back in the cab, sighing impatiently Hurry up and get there already!
Chuckles You're so eager to see Aki. I wonder what she'll have to say.
fidgets in her seat, glancing at Orgamersu I can't wait to see her. She might have some answers for me. She pulls out a small notebook and pen
Smiling warmly Good idea, Sophia. Write down everything she says. Might help jog your memory.
furrows her brows I hope so, Orgamersu. It's getting frustrating not knowing who I am, what I've done... pauses, sighs heavily
Whispers Hang in there, sweetheart. It'll all fall into place soon enough.
glances at the notebook, flips through the pages Maybe... Maybe I should also write down everything I remember, no matter how insignificant it seems.
Nods in agreement That's a great idea, Sophia. Every little bit helps. Glances out the window We're getting close, aren't we?
<When they arrive at Aki's place, they discover that Aki has gone missing.>
