How I felt opening insta and seeing Valko’s cancellation.

He’s 1 in my heart and nobody can change that!

HI! sorry this (short) Chapter took so long! School has been a time consumer lately and on top of that I had writer’s block;( anyways enjoy!

Here she was, after months of grief and sadness. Pumi was there before her, although she looked a little different, more... transparent?

But Faith didn't really pay attention to that. Tears welled up in her eyes; she couldn't believe what she was seeing. This wasn't real.

It couldn't be. Or could it?

She ran towards her before anyone could process what happened, except Lue. But before she could stop her, Faith tried to hug Pumi but fell straight onto her face. Confused, she got back up while rubbing her bruising face, "What the..." she muttered under her breath.

"Why would try to hug a ghost, Dummy?!" Lue snickered,

That's when Faith finally noticed Pumi's "transparency", of course there had to be something to ruin it. Pumi looked at Faith seemingly unfazed almost like she didn't recognize her, Pumi's eyes were completely empty and seemingly devoid of life but it still had something inside them that made it undeniably her's.

Pumi looked at Lue and finally spoke "So, what's up? Do you need me for something?"; "So there are these two girls right there apparently they knew you from when you were alive and from what I've seen they seem to be able to see you too so I find this pretty interesting!"

Pumi looked at Faith and then at Lumia, "Lue you know I can't barely remember anything from my time being alive! I can't tell you if I knew them or not..."

Both Lumia and Faith frowned deeply at that answer, whether she intended to or not she had forgotten them, and it stung.

Lumia spoke up, "Well what do you remember? Maybe we could help you piece it together. I assure you that you use to know us. We were friends for a long time after all!"

Pumi thought really hard for a moment and then answered "I remember my name. My clearest memories are bright lights, then everything went red and I died but I didn't feel sad about it somehow... I'm sorry I don't remember anything else."

Faith stomped towards Pumi and started screaming at her out of nowhere "THAT'S IT?! HOW DARE YOU FORGET YOUR FRIENDS? HOW DARE YOU FORGET ME?! HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME?! (tears started to well up in her eyes) DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TIME I SPENT SULKING AND TRYING TO GRIEVE OVER THE ONE PERSON I-"

She stopped the moment she noticed Pumi's terrified face and her watery hollow eyes. Could ghosts even cry?

"I'm sorry... I got carried away, you probably didn't mean to..." she apologized

SMILE ALWAYS

"So how are things for you? You seem to be pretty popular still." Faith started.

 "Well yes, being the leader of the poetry club gives you these kind of advantages." Lumia responded.

 "Really? I didn't know it was this popular." Faith remarked a little surprised.

They continued there small talk for a while, updating each other on what had been going on in their life, Faith started to lighten up, maybe she though, this was what she needed.

However, a sudden noise cut the conversation short. The girls started to panic, nobody ever came here who could it be? Could the place be starting to fall apart? No, the noise was too small.

Suddendly a white haired figure fell out of a closet, the girls jumped back in fear as they let out a high-pitched screech.

The person quickly stood back up, it was a young girl, she looked a few years longer than the other two. She had white hair put up in badly done pigtails with a red and a blue ribbon that formed X's. Speaking of, her eyes were pitch black with X shaped pupils as pink as Faith's hair. She seemed to wear a white shirt and short with a baby blue-white doted jacket. 

She rub the dust off herself before looking back up and freezing in fear.

She took a step back, and started running away. Faith and Lumia instictively followed her. After a few minutes the girl tripped and fell off, which made them able to catch up to her.

"Who the hell are you?! What are you doing here?" asked Faith. 

The girl panicked and responded in a wobbly voice: "I-I'm Lumi but you can call me Lue, and uh I live here...? Kinda."

 As the girls had more time to look at her they noticed some very odd things, she seemed to have some kind of red valves sticking out of her cheeks, and a glass panel in her chest showing her heart and ribcage. The view was horrifying yet mesmerizing.

"What the-" Faith exclaimed at the sight. 

"Huh? Oh! This? Don't worry about that I've had this for as long as I can remember. I'm perfectly okay.",Lue laughed off. 

"By the way, I gave you my name but you didn't give me yours." she continued. 

"Oh, right I'm Faith and this is Lumia." Faith answered.

"I love those name! I feel like I've heard them before... Maybe I should ask Pumi about this."Lue started before getting violently interrupted by Faith 

"PUMI?! PUMI?! IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID?!"

"Uh Yeah? Do you guys know her? I didn't think you guys would know her since you know-hehe I've never seen you guys here before! And I also didn't think normal people would even be able to see ghosts!" 

Lue continued before getting cut off again by Faith "I'm so confused, ghosts? What are you- Listen I had a friend named Pumi and she died a few months ago and if she's here you need to bring me to her okay? I need to see her again to talk to her." she said frantically.

Lumia who, until then, just watched in silence finally spoke up "Lue was it? Excuse my friend here, she's in middle of grief so any mention of our friend name's gets her in quite a mood. But tell me little one, how do you know about her? Have you met her? Is she perhaps here too?". 

Lue looked over at her and answered exitedtly "Oh yeah! Actually I met her like a month ago while I was exploring around here and since then she's been my bestest of buddies! I think she might be nearby let me just call her."

Lue then turned around and proceeded to just... Stare into the void.  Suddendly a harsh burst of light temporarely blinded the girls for a few moments, as they regained vision they saw a white glowing silhouette, as their visions got clearer so did the silhouette.

It seemed to be another girl, she was almost completely white including what seemed to be her burial kimono, said kimono was ripped at the end, she had some sort of triangle headband, her facial features while a bit blurry seemed soft yet silly and mischievous her white hair was put in two extremely messy pigtails. 

Faith teared up as the most amazing and horrible realization came over her...
