Acension city

[Farewell]

"I didn't let her I tried stopping her but she left anyways.." *her says worriedly*

[Rayleonarde]

Ray sighed. "Acon...please...remember me. Remember what was. You used to say what was and what shall be meant nothing, but now...What was means more now to me than ever."

[Aconitum]

Acon opened her eyes and looked at Ray as if she was seeing for the first time. Then, her expression to turned to anger and Acon lifted her paw to deliver a powerful backhand. "You rebooted?!"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray closed his eyes, and looked at the ground. "I...I didn't know what else to do...you seemed like you were in shock, and wouldn't recognize me.  I was desperate." He waited for Acon to strike him.

[SadDubwool]

*He crack the mirror basically in half and leaves the room*

[Aconitum]

Acon let her paw fall to her side. She sprang forward to hug Ray and let tears fall from her cheeks. "Why did you just cut me out like that?"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray sobbed. "I was weak...What happened that day...everything that transpired...I couldn't cope. Lulu made it sound like that was the only way."

[Farewell]

*ryan walks to the room getting on his phone calling zaida after a couple minutes she answers*

Zaida:"hello?"

Ryan:"look please come back.." *he says quietly trying not to wake up everyone else* "...I know this sounds crazy but I saw zero.."

*she slams on the breaks in the middle of the dark street as It was soaked by the rain dropping the phone and putting her head on the driving wheel*

Ryan:"zaida? Zaida?" *he asked concerned*

*zaida closed her eyes for a moment as if the world paused she sat there motionless*

[Aconitum]

Acon sighed and wiped her cheeks. "W-well, you're here now. And I remember."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray rubbed his eyes. "L-Lulu...she said that you could do something about this.  I...I want my old life back. I'll do anything to get it back..."

[Aconitum]

Acon sighed. "Ray, I-I could help it get somewhat back to normal, but things have changed so much. Too much. Besides, even if I could actually send you back, how selfish would that be? Jayce is happy on his own. My mother is on great terms with him and Lucy. I can't even begins to tell you what else has changed."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray sighed. "Yes...I understand. A sacrifice for the good of the many." He leaned back, and sat in his cell. "I'll just...be here, then. Until they either euthanize me, or lobotomize me." Ray smiled. "I accept my fate, and the choices I've made. No second chances, I've got to play with the hand I've been dealt."

[Aconitum]

Acon crawled up to Ray and kissed him. "I'm not gonna leave you in here."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray shook his head. "It's for the best. I can't operate in society...not when everyone looks like a monster, and everything is either stark white, or covered in rust." He sighed, and closed his eyes. "Don't worry over me, Acon.  This is my fate."

[Aconitum]

Acon narrowed her eyes at Ray. "So you're just gonna leave me again? What happened to staying with me through thick and thin, or did you forget that?"
