"Big Sis?" Alice asked again after receiving no response.
"I'm really sorry, Alice, but I can't rember anything at all." Alyssa admitted, shaking her head.
She had made an effort to recall, wracking her brain, but there was simply no trace of that place in her mory. It was as if the location had never existed, or as though it had been entirely wiped from her mind.
"Are you sure?" Alice asked.
"I'm sure," Alyssa replied.
"I see. It's okay if you can't rember. I'll find another way to figure it out," Alice said, forcing a smile. She felt disappointed, but she couldn't really bla her sister for not rembering.
She took another sip of her tea to soothe her emotions and then steered the conversation towards lighter topics while chatting with Alyssa. She shared stories about her school experiences, including how a teacher had co to her rescue.
As they delved into this topic, she saw an opportunity to seamlessly introduce her second reason for visiting.
"By the way, is Zyden here?" Alice inquired, her cheeks flushing with a slight embarrassnt.
Thinking about him always made her feel flustered, and she couldn't quite make sense of her infatuation, especially since they hadn't interacted much.
So, she believe on the idea that this might be what people ant by falling madly in love—sothing unexplainable and occasionally irrational.
"Why do you want to see him?" Alyssa raised her eyebrows.
"I just want to apologize to him," Alice replied. "Can I see him?"
Alyssa considered for a mont, then nodded. "Sure, He's in his room."
Alice bead with gratitude. "Thanks, Big Sis. I'll be quick."
With that, she jumped to her feet and excitedly ran upstairs.

"What was that place?" I muttered to myself as I overheard their conversation from my headphones. I had questioned Alyssa extensively about everything related to Alice, even using my suggestion to push for answers.
However, she never ntioned anything about a place where she took Alice for treatnt.
Alyssa had only told about Alice's sleepwalking problems, so I assud she might have a bipolar personality disorder, with the other personality having so kind of super powers.
'I should listen more,'
As I continued to eavesdrop on their conversation, I noticed that Alice attempted to change the topic when she didn't get the answers she was looking for.
I thought she might leave at that point, but instead, they carried on with their conversation as if everything was normal. Then, Alice eventually brought up another important topic.
"Why is she looking for ?" I mumbled out loud .
I realized it might be risky to et her at this mont, but I should at least hear her out.
"Ask her why she wanted to et ," I commanded Alyssa through the earpiece.
[I just want to apologize to him,]
"Apologize to ?" My mind raced as I contemplated the situation, and then I rembered sothing .
"Let her co upstairs," I commanded, then I stood up from the chair and picked up my assault rifle.
CLICK CLICK CLICK!
I double-checked the magazines and chambered a set of rounds, the clicking sound indicating that it was locked and loaded. Then I pointed it directly at the door.
My telekinesis might be powerful now, but a bullet would always be faster. If she did sothing dangerous, this place would turn into a total bloodbath. Hers, of course.
'You're dead if you make a wrong move,'
KNOCK ! KNOCK ! KNOCK!
A knocking sound echoed from the door, and I could see her face on my monitor.
"Who's there?" I replied, feigning to be unaware of her presence.
"It's , Alice," her soft voice called out.
"Alice? Why did you co up here?" I pretended to be shocked and flustered, but in truth, my fingers were already on the trigger, ready to fire anyti .
"Can we talk? I have sothing important to tell you," she added.
I paused for a mont. She would definitely figure out that Zyn and were the sa person if I show my face now.
"I can't see you right now," I replied.
She fell silent for a couple of minutes. I could see from the monitor that she was pondering her next move.
"Can you give another chance?" She eventually asked, her voice filled with doubts and sadness .
"Chance for what?" I inquired, sounding casual.
"Zyden, I'm so sorry about what happened last ti. I was just really surprise by your change," she admitted, speaking in a, sincere tone.
'Surprise? You told you love , and then walk away!' I clicked my tongue in annoyance. Understanding her , was like trying to solve a rubiks cube in the dark.
'Wait? Maybe I can use this to complete the mission,' I mumbled to myself after spotting an opportunity. The mission had a penalty of -10 charisma, so if I could pull this off, it would be a win for . I just needed to seize this chance.
"It's alright, you don't have to apologize. At least I know that soone loved the way I used to be. " I replied, my tone filled with a touch of loneliness. My acting skills were so on point that I could probably audition for a K-Drama role.
"So you don't have to worry about soone like out of guilt. I can manage on my own," I added to guilt trip her further.
Alice was taken a back by my reply , and I could see from her face that so tears was beginning to form.
"I'm really sorry," Her voice trembled as her eyes welled up with tears. The intensity of her emotions painted her face with vulnerability, a mix of regret and longing. She reached out on the door, her hands shaking, trying to find a way to steady her footing.
"I still love you," she continued, her words heavy with the weight of her feelings.
"Please, forgive . Please give another chance."

"Jackpot!... Oh, no," I exclaid, my excitent almost causing to pull the trigger and kill her.
Who would have thought she'd co to my house and bring so many rewards? Maybe the system knew about her other persona, which was why it gave such generous rewards in the first place. But it didn't anticipate that Alice might complete the mission on her own.
"Give so ti," I replied to her. "I appreciate your feelings, but I need so ti to think."
I chose the safe route and decided to stall .
'I can't reject her now and have her go full psycho on ,'
