As Alessandra grew up, it grew to hate Father and his constant abuse of her and the other delightfuls, physically and verbal. She was the first one out of the delightful children to start to falter in their grades and even slip ups with behaviour. It got so bad that they began splitting off from the rest of the group, the hivemind missing a piece. It was noticeable as Hoagie would point out when he and Sector V would fight them that it feels like one of them is missing, but itvwas quickly ignored, and the battle continues. Alessandra would often be singled out by Father and considerably more punished than the rest, considering she wasn't as "delightful" as they used to be.

Alessandra would often split away as they would "need a moment" to rethink and try to act as every delightful child should be. Repeating the rules to herself, over and over again. During one of those days, however, someone noticed them, pacing around nervously. The Kid or Ace as they often get called, got curious as they were passing by eating a chili dog, walking back to one of his planes. Curiously, he peaked his head through the bushes and asked if she's ok, considering how it's very clear how much distress she's in. At first, Alessandra was very hostile, but after that, they calmed down and simply said she's not feeling too well. Ace offered to have a quick chat to help them calm down and to comfort them, which ended working. Alessandra thanked them, and they both parted ways. But soon enough, it actually became a regular thing. Each time, she would tell Ace more and more about her problems and what's going on at home. Sparks of romance between the two. Ace would also often patch their injuries up either from KND defeating them or Father's punishments. As more as Alessandra told him and the more he saw how it gets treated, the more angry he got at the situation until one day, he said three words that changed Alessandra's life from then on. "Come with me."

Finally, an opportunity of escape presented itself. They can finally have a chance at normal life, no pressure, no rules, no expectations, freedom. She could feel a fire burn in her chest and a voice from their mind. The "other" her, urging her to go, to run. The voice mumbled and quiet but passionate. That same night, she tried sneaking away, but as she tried to exit through the main door, she accidentally slammed it... too hard. It woke everyone up, especially Father. She tried running as soon as they realised the mistake they made but it was too late and Father caught up to her. What followed was the reason why she has the scars you see on their reference. Father wasn't happy. At all. Ace knew something went wrong because Alessandra was nowhere to be seen, and all he could hear was screaming. He wanted to go there and help but knew it would be a terrible idea, it would not only put him in danger but Alessandra as well.

Afterwards, Alessandra was isolated for a good month. It was meant to force her to reflect and think about what she's done. It didn't work. If anything, they kept crying and thinking about Ace and trying to run away. During this time, Ace would sneak little notes to them, and they communicate that way. Finally, one certain night. Ace helped Alessandra escape. She ran and ran as fast as her legs could take her. When they were finally far away from the mansion. Alessandra laughed triumphantly as it and Ace hugged each other. Freedom, at last.
