Late one evening, Elizabeth was in her room whilst waiting for Jo to bring her new identification. She was seated on the ground with a gla.s.s of wine. Each drop of wine she poured on the gla.s.s was like a fragment of memory rekindling. As she raised the gla.s.s of wine towards her face, she stared into the gla.s.s and could see her past.

The memories she saw were so vague yet so clear. It was as if she was seeing a recording or video of everything.

"Who are you?"

Elizabeth asked her own reflection which she can see on the gla.s.s.

"Why did you leave me?"

The questions coming out from her were question she was asking to the person who she saw on the gla.s.s.

She chugs down the gla.s.s in one go as if it was nothing. Then poured her another and gulp it down once again.

A few hours pa.s.s, Jo came knocking the door. However, no one seems to be answering him. He was curious as to why no one seems to be answering at all.

"Hey, are you still alive in there?" He knocked on the door at the same time.

Still, no one seems to be answering.

Eventually, Jo decided to take action and see what the girl is doing. He checks if whether the door is opened or close. "It's not locked?"

He became even more curious seeing the girl did not even lock her own room. As he went inside the room, he was welcomed by the strong scent of alcohol. Just by the scent, he could already predict how the girl is current at.

"Hmph, I wonder what memory she recovered again that she is like this again."

Jo looked so pitiful at Elizabeth. It wasn't the first time such a sight happened. Since the day she recalled who Megan was, she has regained more and more of her memory almost every single hour. So, the journey to the capital was a great adventure for Jo for Elizabeth would just suddenly scream and cry without any warning.

"Hmm, hey, girlie, are you alright?" Jo went closer to check on Elizabeth's state.

"Who are you?"

Hearing the familiar question caused Jo to sigh so heavily. It was a question which he has heard so many times and has been such a great curiosity. "I really wonder who the person you're seeing right now so we can end this ridiculous roller coaster. I just hope once we find Scott, he'll bring you to the old man and I can finally go and search for Big Sis."

Jo went down and wraps his arms around the girl's body, in order for him to carry her on her bed. As he was carrying her to her bed, the girl continues to mumble gibberishly almost as if she was speaking in tongue.

"English please!" Jo asked sarcastically as if the girl was awake.

Yet, Elizabeth continues to speak gibberishly as if the words coming out of her mouth make sense.

As Jo laid her down in her bed, he expressed such pain for the girl. He can now understand why Megan wishes to help her so much. He wonders why her memories were altered and why were they locked up as well.

"You know what…"

"Hmm…"

"If we do meet the professor, somehow, I hope the professor will lock your memory again. It seems you aren't strong enough to recover. Look at you…"

"Hmm…"

"Can you really hear me?"

"Hmm…"

Jo slightly chuckled seeing Elizabeth continue to respond, "Hha, girl… I wonder what you were like back then."

Elizabeth had this strange expression on her face that looks like as if she was smiling but her brows were knitting together.

"Seem like you only showed such a good side to people you like."

As he finished tucking Elizabeth to bed, he went ahead and cleared the bottles of wine.

"I better lock the cellar this time." He muttered seeing the number of wine wasting around. "Girl, you sure can drink."

Late that night, Elizabeth was mumbling to herself as if she was having a night.

"Run, Liz, run!"

"Professor, what's going on?" Elizabeth cried seeing the worried look on Professor's face. She was dumbfounded when she can hear screams of people outside as well. "Professor?"

"Liz, listen to me…" Professor Petrovich was unable to finish what he wishes to explain when he can heard a familiar voice.

"Professor, what's wrong? Why do you look as if death is chasing you…"

"Liz, I'm sorry but your no longer face her. That stupid kid," Professor Petrovich sighs so heavily in anger, "That idiot kid, he challenged the old man for you."

"What? What are you talking about?" Elizabeth was dumbfounded.

"He challenged the old man for your freedom and he…"

"Don't tell me, he killed himself?"

Professor Petrovich sighs, "Don't worry, his fine but the old man…"

"The old man…"

Before Elizabeth could finish speaking, the door slammed opened alarming both Elizabeth and Professor Petrovich.

As the image of the person who opened the come into face, a flash of bright light caused Elizabeth to scream her lungs out.

"Girl, wake up!"

"Hey, wake up!"

Jo came running to the girl's bedside since he rested on the couch in order to watch over her. He already expected the girl to somehow be in at this state....

"Hey, girl, wake up!"

"No!!!"

"Girl, come on, wake up!"

"No!!!"

No matter how loud Jo spoke to wake the girl up. It was as if she was in deep subconscious and was so impossible to wake.

"F*ck whatever!"

Jo, whose heart was as hard as stone and cold as ice towards Elizabeth acted out of character. He went behind Elizabeth back and embraces her from behind. As he expressed such warm comfort, the girl felt the warm embrace and soon calmed down. As if magic…

"Girl, don't you Chinese believe that you have a life in the past. I'm really curious what great sin you did in the past that you are now suffering and living a life like h.e.l.l."

As he continued to calm the girl down and comfort her. It made him recall the moment in the past with Megan when sahe use to get drunk as well. Reminiscing such memory brought a smile on Jo's face. He couldn't help it but chuckled slightly as he spoke in a soft and gentle tone.

"You know, Big Sis gets so drunk badly too. As you know, we do live in the dark side of the world which means we hardly get and good sleep. Big Sis would normally scream and cry at night as well. She would even wake up in the middle of the night and force herself to drink again until her mind goes blank once again. However, the difference between you is that Big Sis has accepted it but only regrets the action she'd done which is why she gets such nightmares. But you, you get nightmares for no reason and now…" He sighs before continuing, "You get nightmares and you don't even know why. You see fragment of your memory yet you can seem to understand them. If I was you, I'll just forget about it and move on…"

Jo saw there was no point for Elizabeth to recover her memory. Even though she promised Megan, he felt like such a journey is a waste.
