  "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Why are you doing this?"

  The woman didn't heed her pleads. Her tear-streaked face was buried against the arms of the man next to her. His arms circled her protectively, as she shook from the force of her sobbing.

  "We're sorry, too, Emi," the man said evenly. "We know it's not your fault. It's just that..." Here, his voice started to break. "...It's just that, you look too much like

  She sobbed still, more quietly now, as she became exhausted. As her eyes closed, she fatigue, sh whispered, "Mama..."


     You will find someone who loves you.

     ... You love Arion, don't you?

  She came back to the real world, her memories fading back behind her eyelids. A single tear rolled down her cheek as she whispered, "Arion..."
