Log;

She was normal. Normal. She had no powers, nothing. She was simply a normal human being...for one day. Alessa couldn't believe it, and didn't know even how to feel. All her life she had wished that she was normal like all of the other kids, that she could have a normal life, a normal family...and now she was able to experience it, if for one day. On one hand, she felt free, but on the other...a part of her felt connected to her powers. It was a part of herself, and she felt extremely vulnerable and helpless in this state. She was deliberately spending this day with Henry so as to avoid Xulchibara's burning gaze. If he saw her in this state...

Her cheeks flushed with shame. She couldn't stand the thought. It would be better just to get out and spend some time with Henry. She waited near the front door, her black shoes idly tracing the design in the lush carpet. Oh, how she wished that Henry could remember her! It took every ounce of her willpower to not throw herself into his arms and cling to him as if her life depended on it and to keep the tears from flowing every time she saw him. He had died, was dead, and now was back to life. It was the greatest gift her god could ever give to her. Despite the fact that she wished so very hard that he would remember, she knew it was their price. This was something that shouldn't have been, and the consequence was Henry not remembering a thing. She tried to console herself and tell herself that it was okay, because Henry was back and he was alive, but...

If only he could remember me, only a little bit, she thought, sighing as she heard his familiar footsteps down the hall.
