Well, those in the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess I should go as well,\" said Nia. \"It is a bit of a pickle, but they're just girls in love, I am sure they'll understand if we talk to them nicely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll go with you then,\" said Partner. \"I'm not so sure that girl can keep herself calm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me go too,\" Lucifer said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I also have to go, this is all because of my fault,\" Jonathan sighed. \"I should have rejected her myself instead of making you do all the excuses. It's my responsibility.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I'm going as well, please don't forget about me,\" Emeraldine smiled gently. \"Everyone... Ugh, thanks, let's go then,\" I nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn't anything else I could do but chase after her and try to explain things to her properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing what they believe we are, with what we actually are.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there really the possibility of making up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, we'll sound selfish and stupid at the end, because they know a completely different person than what we actually are.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, maybe if I could somehow project my memories into their minds, would it be possible for them to realize we aren't exactly the person they think we are?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then comes the possibility that they'll be even more afraid of the truth, of this loop... And that those they considered friends are long gone, replaced by complete strangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very completed and deep stuff, this trial is literally killing me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or more like, killing my heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's like watching a drama on TV, but I'm forced into the protagonist body without any of their previous memories!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Man, if this had continued as just a battle academy fantasy, it would have been so much easier...\" I sighed, running towards Emily and Alma with my friends. \"Girls! Did you find her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She went to the bathroom...\" Alma sighed, gasping for air. \"Hahh... I'm tired...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should we go see- Ack!\" Emily gasped as she noticed the army of friends behind me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucifer, Jonathan, Emeraldine, Nia, and Partner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah I just bought five people with me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So many people?! Maria, this is a private thing...\" Emily sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine, they're also my friends...\" I said. \"At least Jonathan should come with us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it's a girl's bathroom!\" Alma said. \"It would be a violation of the guidelines if he goes inside...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, then let's go bring her outside,\" I said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked into the bathroom with Alma and Emily, and quickly reached the area where she was. \"Ahh... Sniff...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I've only met this girl for two days now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shouldn't really feel bad at all either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I mean, I just met her, and she has been kind of a cunt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... somehow, I felt bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why do I feel bad?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It feels as if something might be influencing me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Character that I am replacing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As selfish and spoiled as she was, Sofia still looked like a decent person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I mean, she worked towards helping her friends and all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was clear she cared about Alma and Emily to an extent...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And perhaps even a bit for the character I've replaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that... things happened like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What can I do to solve this problem?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem is that Sofia is sad and destroyed because the man she likes loves someone else and has been in a relationship with her friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, putting it like that it does sounds fucking terrible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the thing is, I am not this character, and Jonathan isn't that character either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To let her do whatever she wants would imply she would continue flirting with my boyfriend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that's not something I can accept, trial or whatever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, I just told her the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that ended hurting her because doesn't have the context that I have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That we come from another world and aren't the people she thinks we are.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, I have to clarify this problem, and tell her that those people are... fucking dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn! Is there a way to solve this without traumatizing her even more?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmmm...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, the Friendship Shop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sofia? Are you there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alma called for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave me alone...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sofia responded bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please don't cry, Sof! We love you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily called for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-You're our friend...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alma nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you were my friend you would have told me that Maria was with Jonathan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"B-But we didn't know that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seriously, we didn't!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had already told them what happened, they accepted it faster than I imagined, maybe\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>because they already had a strong bond with my character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they still felt a bit angry at me, but not enough to act like Sofia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sofia, it's true, they didn't know. I kept this a secret. I knew it would hurt you, and I didn't\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>want to hurt you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why did you even do it?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because love... is not something that can be decided by just saying a man or a woman is\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know it hurts; I seriously know.
