"What's going on here?"
When Bianka opened the door. She saw Thea who was still sitting in her chair stuck like glue, and Maria who was trying to lift her up from there, but to no avail.
From the conversation she heard before entering the room, Bianka like already knew what the source of the problem was here.
"Big sister Bianka why did you come here? Isn't it already late at night?"
Seeing Thea ask her directly, and ignoring Maria who hugged her from behind to drag her out of the work chair. Bianka crossed her arms in dissatisfaction.
"I have something to tell you. But, this problem can be put off until tomorrow. Thea, balancing work and rest is important. I suggest you rest for today."
"Ugh... You're like this too..." Thea bit her lips in unhappy.
Seeing Bianka immediately covered her mouth tightly because she saw her current condition. Thea closed her eyes for a moment, and she immediately entered the corridor of the Kaslana family space.
Thea knows that Bianka's arrival at her place must have a complicated problem, and she needs to solve it as soon as possible.
Because Bianka kept her mouth shut. So don't blame her for searching her memories in the halls of the Kaslana family corridor to find out.
After all, this is an urgent task.
"Thea..."
"Ughwh!?!"
Realizing that Bianka's memories already had an additional wall that came from Schariac's very thick blood inside her body. Thea opened her eyes again, and she immediately saw her big sister displeased expression.
"Are you trying to read my memory?"
"Yeah... sorry..."
Thea lowered her head guiltily.
Even though she could tear through the barrier created by Bianka very easily. It would be found out right away, and Thea didn't want to make her big sister so angry with her.
Bianka couldn't help but sigh: "I'm not angry that you want to try to read my memory. I just want to say that you should take better care of yourself. Don't get so busy with work that you forget yourself."
"But I..."
"No buts. My little sister, you should rest now."
"That's right Miss Saintess, rest easy. I slept quite a bit this afternoon. So, Miss Saintess can calmly leave all these tasks to me! I am currently feeling very energetic!"
Taking a deep breath, Thea, who was outnumbered, could only nod her head in resignation.
"Alright...."
Put the glasses hanging on her face on the table. Thea arranged the documents on the table to make it easier to find them, and she immediately stood up from her chair.
Thea knew that Bianka who was standing in front of her was a very stubborn person. She would not leave before seeing her off to rest.
To solve this problem, Thea could only go back to her room obediently.
"Maria, I've arranged the documents in order. Left is Schariac's house, middle is the Stigma project, and right is Schicksal. If there's any urgent matters, just tell me everything directly. I'll rush back immediately."
"Besides amber..."
"It's okay Miss Saintess! I can finish everything myself! Sleep well!"
Suddenly pushed by Maria to the outside of the room. Thea was confused for a bit, before she shrugged her shoulders helplessly.
"I like that kid." Bianka immediately expressed her opinion very straight.
"Yeah, me too. Although she's a bit silly and naive sometimes." Thea couldn't help but smile a little.
Walked back to her room together with Bianka. Thea who was looking at the night sky filled with stars in a daze, maintaining the silence, suddenly felt that her left arm had been nudged by someone.
Looking to the side, Thea could see Bianka's eyes looking at her with eyes full of worry.
"Thea, I want to ask you something. Is the stigmata terminal device really able to give stigma to other people, or is this all just because of your ability?"
Bianka asked seriously.
When she first rejoined her family. Thea has shown that she can give a stigma to other people, without needing special items like terminal stigmata device.
With the ability of her sister who can give stigmata to others. Bianka became very suspicious that the "artificial stigma" created by the alliance of the two powers, Schariac, and Apocalipse, was a huge lie of her own making.
If all of that really happened...
Then how much burden has been borne so far?
Bianka's eyes became very worried: "You must be very tired. Don't push yourself anymore, we are all very worried about you."
Hearing this Thea couldn't help but smile languidly: "Ehehe... I really didn't push myself a bit. Bianka's sister was just worrying too much, if I'm really tired, then I'll immediately go rest."
"Really? But Kiana said you like to lie."
"Big sister trust her words more, or mine? Don't take the words of a child seriously."
....
Walked together along the short, but also very long passage, and fell silent once again as silent as night. They finally arrived at Thea's room, and Thea entered there waving her hand.
"Good night big sister."
"Yeah, good night Thea. Sleep well."
Closed the door, and found her to be alone again. Thea, who admitted to being a little stressed, took another very long breath.
Since she became the Saintess of the Schariac house, and led the Schicksals who had suddenly lost their leader. She seemed to be sighing more and more often.
This proves that she was already very stressed.
"Ah, I've never notice a wine cabinet before in my room. When did this cabinet suddenly appear?"
If at the usual time, Thea would return to her room to take a short nap on the bed, and go out of the room quickly after taking a shower and sorting out her clothes.
Perhaps it was because she was daydreaming now, which caused her to have free time to pay attention to her surroundings, and allowed her to become aware of what she had been neglecting all along.
"If I wasn't thirteen, Himeko would probably ask me out for drinks tonight... Why do they like alcohol so much?"
"Is it because it will make you drunk?"
"What's so good about this feeling?"
Remaining silent in front of the wine cabinet for a long time, and was giving this matter some serious thought. Thea let her disturbing mind win, and she picked up the bottle of wine with some trepidation.
"Drinking a little is fine right? There's no one here either..."
Thea looked around warily.
She felt like she had returned to those moments where she would steal food in the middle of the night, and always worried that Cecilia would suddenly appear standing behind her like a ghost.
Very exciting, but also very scary at the same time.
"Let me taste some adult beverages. I should at least experience the feeling of being drunk to relieve my curiosity."
Lowers the sensitivity of her brain to the lowest, and can make her drunk very easily. Thea opened the wine bottle, and her head immediately became slightly dizzy from smelling this alluring aroma of wine.
Many memories of the entire Kaslana family are directly related to wine. Although Thea didn't know what kind of wine was in her hands because she was too lazy to search through her memories. This does not stop her from judging that this wine is very good.
At least from all the memories belonging to the Kaslana family, this wine could be rated quite high in their category.
Drink wine from a glass, and drink it little by little. Thea became slightly addicted to the mild taste of the wine, and she suddenly had hiccups.
"Hiks!"
Thea covered her mouth tightly.
Her face was completely red by this time due to the high alcohol content.
"Congratulations, you're drunk now. I mean, what do you expect from this?"
"Ah? What?"
Raised her head, and noticed that the surroundings had changed, becoming undulating like boarding a ship in the middle of a night storm. Thea shook her head in a very dizzy manner, and she saw a pair of small feet that had suddenly appeared in front of her at this time.
"Why are you confused? Wasn't the purpose of your drunkenness to relieve the negative thoughts in your mind, and summon me at the same time?"
Sitting in front of her, holding Baba Homu which has a pink or yellow color. The small version of Thea, looked at the adult version of Thea with very cynical eyes.
"Wine can make people happy because it will lower your intelligence. Maybe they will also see some illusions just like your current state."
"So, guess what, Is the me currently standing in front of you an illusion or not?
The small version of Thea dropped the empty wine bottle with a bored expression, and she looked at this adult version with a small smile.
"So what did you call me for? Have something you wanted to tell me?"
"Do you miss me? Another me?"
The little version of Thea smiled very sweetly.
Sat at a small round table by the window. Under the bright moonlight, there were now two figures sitting opposite each other.
One is the adult version of Thea who has a gloomy face, and the other is the small version of Thea who always has an innocent smile on her face.
"This hallucination is too strong..." Thea massaged her dizzy forehead helplessly.
"[Hey, what kind of expression are you making? You are trying to deny my existence? Please look at my face!]"
The small version of Thea got down from the chair, and she walked around the adult version of Thea in circles.
The adult version of Thea who didn't want to see the figure of the small version of Thea for the time being, kept turning her head everywhere to avoid her gaze.
"[Look at me! Look at me! I'm right here!]"
"Stop being annoying! Why are these hallucinations so strong!? Go way!"
Seeing the adult version of Thea covering her ears like a child, and closing her eyes tightly. The small version of Thea puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction.
"[Why do you refuse to see me? Isn't this your wish?]"
"...."
"[Come on, say something. You know covering your ears won't work. If we look at it from a normal person's perspective, you're technically talking to yourself right now.]"
"...."
The adult version of Thea immediately turned her body backwards, refusing to speak.
The little version of Thea who saw this, became furious.
"[This is why I hate adults. They always keep all their troubles to themselves, and secretly drive themselves into depression.]"
"[You expected to see me, and here I am, talking to you right now. Now, when I'm in your presence, why are you suddenly so quiet?]"
Hearing this, the adult version of Thea opened and closed her mouth several times, and in the end, she could only bite her lower lip tightly.
"I hate you."
The adult version of Thea gave off a tone that was almost the same as the injured little animal.
"[Good, now you start talking. Then, what does that mean?]"
Open tightly closed eyelids. The adult version of Thea can only look down with a sad look.
"Because... It's you they want, not me."
"[...Ah?]"
Had a moment of silence for a while, and decided to turn around to see the little version of her. The adult version of Thea looked at herself with a complicated look.
"Ever since I combined the secondary consciousness, and the primary consciousness, our personalities have changed so much that it's like seeing a different person."
"I'm fine, but what about other people's opinions!?"
"Kiana, Siegfried, Himeko, Aurora...do you think I haven't read their memories!? What are they thinking about me!!!"
"I... I... Also don't want to be like this..."
Seeing this adult version of her became very depressed, and didn't dare to look herself again. The little version of Thea could only helplessly shrug her shoulders.
"[An identity crisis again huh... You know, you have a serious mental problem about denying your own existence. I suggest you take a break like big sister Bianka said. This illness of yours is getting worse.]"
Ignoring the sarcasm of the little version of Thea. The adult version of Thea slammed the table beside her hard, as if she was venting all her anger.
She clenched her fists tightly.
"Do you understand... why I started to enter the stigmata room very rarely?"
"Because I don't want to see those eyes again!"
"Their eyes full of worry, and pity, they are all not for me!!"
"It's all just for you! Silly Thea, stubborn Thea, selfish Thea! They only care about you, NOT ME!!!"
Stunned, found her being shouted at suddenly. The small version of Thea raised her eyebrows in confusion, and she saw this adult version of Thea, with watery eyes.
"[Do you know...]"
"[...How painful is it to say all those things to yourself?]"
"[Why did you hurt me...]"
"You're not me..." The adult version of Thea's body trembled silently, as if she was holding back her tears.
"[No, I am you, and always have been.]"
The little version of Thea walked up to the adult version of Thea, and she handed over the Baba Homu doll she always held, to her.
"[The only difference between the two of us may be from our responsibility. I knew what would come in the future, but I ignored it. As for you, you don't.]"
"[I am stupid Thea, and you are smart Thea. You can always be me, but I can't be you. You are better than me.]"
"[So... Don't cry. You make me feel sad too.]" The little version of Thea wiped her teary eyes.
Hear the sound of muffled sobs. The adult version of Thea raised her head, and she immediately saw the little version of Thea who was crying in front of her, with panicking.
"Sorry, please stop crying. I'm really sorry for yelling at you before."
"[It's too late... hiks... I'm already crying... hiks...]"
"Then come here."
Gets down from the chair, and immediately took the little version of Thea into her arms. The adult version of Thea smiled gently.
"Now... I don't hate you anymore. Thank you for hearing all my complaints."
The small version of Thea bit her lower lip tightly: "[No, I refuse your apology. I'm starting to hate you now.]"
"....Then what should I do to earn your apology?"
"[Return Baba Homu.]"
"Here, take it."
"[....I still hate you.]"
"Yes I know."
"[Apologize again.]"
"I refuse."
"[I hate you!!!]"
....
Sit by the window wall, and make the little version of Thea sit on her lap. Even though these were all just hallucinations she was making up, she somehow felt like they all felt very real.
She meets her former self, and has a heart to heart talk with her. Letting go of all the burdens that she had been keeping.
Wine...
Now she understood why everyone loved getting drunk so much.
Thea closed her eyes very comfortably.
"[Bad news for you, salmon. It seems like it's time for me to leave.]"
"Hngg..."
Raised her eyebrows in confusion, and noticed that her head was growing dizzy. Seeing the figure of this small version of her start to fade away, she immediately grabbed the wine bottles scattered beside her in a hurry.
"[Stop, What are you trying to do? You look like a drug addict, please stop that. You look so pathetic.]"
Realizing that the wine bottle in her hand had already been kicked by the small version of Thea far away. The adult version of Thea could only stare at her other self with sad eyes.
"But... If I recover, won't you disappear? I want to talk to you a little longer."
"I don't want to say goodbye yet..."
The little version of Thea couldn't help but sigh: "[You're silly. If you miss me, just drink some wine next time. Now, you can't.]"
".... Why?"
"[...Do you realize how many bottles of wine you've already drunk? This wine rack is almost empty, and you don't notice at all!]"
"Ah, really? I thought I only drank a few bottles..."
"[You are really stupid. Really stupid.]"
The small version of Thea could only shake her head helplessly.
Can feel that this adult version of her still feels very reluctant to part with her. The little version of Thea thought for a moment, and suddenly she had a very genius idea.
"[Hey adult me, want to do something silly?]"
".... Do what?"
The little version of Thea smiled very slyly: "[Doing something that will definitely make people angry.]"

In the stigmata room...
Because it was the middle of the night, and everyone must have gone to bed. Even though the stigmata room right now felt very empty, without anyone's presence. Thea snapped her fingers, and a familiar figure, immediately appeared in front of her while still sleeping soundly on her bed.
"Kiana, wake up! Come on, get up quickly!"
"Hmm... What's wrong... is it already morning?"
Feeling her body continue to be shaken very hard. Kiana suddenly felt very annoyed, and she immediately brushed off the hand that was on her shoulder at this time.
"Alright, alright, I'll wake up!! Don't shake me again!"
Sitting on her bed in a daze, half sleepy. Kiana raised her head in confusion, and she could see her sister Thea, smiling broadly at her.
Thea's face was now very red, adding to the charm of her beauty, and the sweet smile on her face managed to make Kiana silent for a few moments.
"Are you awake? Great, I just wanted to tell you to go to sleep soon. It's late at night."
Kiana: "???"
Has a black question mark on her face. Kiana saw Thea running out of her room, with laughing out loud.
Thea: "Muahahahaha...!!!"
Kiana: "...."
Even though she didn't know what exactly was going on, she felt very irritated for some reason.
Damn, waking me up in the middle of the night just to tell me to sleep early!?
I feel so angry!!!
As a reminder, Thea is now officially addicted to alcohol.
╮(^▽^)╭ My bad.
