“You’re finally going home.” The nurse smiled.

“Yea…but I wish I could remember something…anything. It’s been a month and I still have no memories.” Aeri sighed.

“Don’t stress over it too much.” He smiled.

“And these were with you when you came here. You were holding onto them like they were important.” He handed her a bracelet and necklace.

“Was I?” She examined them before slipping them on.

“Keep these with you. If something happens to me, go back and find Howon. He’ll know what to do. He’ll protect you. He’ll take over my place. Remember Howon”

“Am I a bad daughter and sister? I'm sorry I don't remember you guys. I'm a terrible daughter. I'm a terrible sister.” She thought.

“Aeri?” L searched for her eyes.
