Prolog

..."I.. really love you."...

...The man finally said the words he had prepared the whole night. His cheeks blushed a little as he has been keeping his feelings ever since they are little. At the top of the cliff, facing the vast lake, he made his confession to the girl he truly loves....

...The wind blew softly fluttered the golden hair of the girl he was talking to. Her beautiful green eyes met his soft brown eyes. His words really surprised her, made her freeze in this warm day, but he found it cute....

...He took a step closer to her slowly and faced her not further than 10 inches. He kept staring at her, then, he tucked her hair behind her ear gently....

..."Will you... accept my feelings?"...

...She felt something inside her chest. Something really strong that makes her couldn't hold back anymore. However, rather than happiness, what she felt was 'guilt'. Guilty feeling of deceiving people she sincerely loved and taking someone else's life and happiness....

..."I'm sorry, but I'm not the one who should answer it."...

...He was puzzled by the words she said. Knowing that, she gave him a further explanation before he questioned what she means....

..."I'm not someone you fell in love with."...

..."What if I tell you, that I'm not Rushia? She was dead 5 years ago, and someone who stands right in front of you now is not her."...

...The man couldn't give any response. His mind tells him that she was joking, but his ability tells him it was true. It doesn't make sense, but she wasn't lying....

...***...

...The sun was setting, but the girl still there, sat on the ground, looked at the sun which about to go....

..."Is it my time to go, too?"...

..."My Lady!"...

...She flinched after hearing the call. Her maid was looking for her everywhere and finally found her. The girl gave her a glance while her maid still panting. She put her eyes back to the lake again as sending a farewell to the sun. Her maid walked closer to take her home....

..."...I'm, not belong to this world."...

...Her sudden words made her maid stop moving and starting to listen to what her Lady said. Even though she didn't really understand. Yet, nothing came out after that. She just sat there silently....

...It started to worry the maid, since the Lady she knows, was a kind and cheerful girl. It would be normal if her Lady smile and greet her the moment she sees her. Yet she gave a short glance awhile ago....

...Moreover, recently, she often spacing out when no ones around. She lost her appetite and seemed fragile. She thought this vacation will bring her usual self back....

...When her maid about to check the things out, she said,...

..."Tisla."...

..."Yes, my Lady."...

..."I'm, scared..."...

...Her smile awkwardly bloomed along with her trembling lips. She looked back at her maid when she can no longer hold her tears bursting....

..."What should I do?"...
