Seele's point of view: I can remember many great times we had... We had plenty of snow one Christmas. We went upstairs to sleep after a tiring day of making snowpersons. Would Santa come? That question kept me awake. I suddenly heard the doorbell. "Seele! Bronya! The presents have arrived. But... ...don't open the door or the presents will disappear!" Shouted a voice. That's definitely Santa! I ran to the door and opened it. "Hey! I told you not to open the door!" Instead it was Rozaliya. "Roza!" "I'm not Roza! I'm Hind-1. I'm here with the presents!" Rozaliya untied the bag beside her. "Here are your gifts. By the way, we will be taking the gifts back when you're done with them." Said Rozaliya. "Then they're not gifts, Roza. And people aren't gifts. You can't give your sister Lili to us." Said Bronya. "Liliya was tied up with red ribbons. Rozaliya did this, somehow. "Roza wanted to be a reindeer." Said Liliya. "Santa's tired of going down the chimneys to leave prezzies by the pillow. I HAD ENOUGH! Reindeer delivery is far better." Said Rozaliya. Pillows? Did Santa leave presents at my pillow? I felt my pillow... there was...

"Lili! Look! I have a present from Santa! It's a hair clip! WHAT?! SANTA DIDN'T GIVE ME ANYTHING!" Shouted Rozaliya. "Who gave me this gift? Was it Matushka Cocolia? I turned around to look at Bronya, but she quickly looked away. I think I saw her smiling.

My point of view: "See? I'm right Patrick. These are my wonderful memories." Seele's sudden reply forced me to discontent from her diary. The girl gave an endless torrent of emotional responses. "Whoa! Whoa! Easy there Seele. Easy. I believe you. You're starting to look angry to me." I said. "Sorry, I got carried away." Replied Seele. "What happened after that?" "Bronya and I went out to see the stars during a cloudless night. The wind was strong, so we walked very slowly. We had to shout to hear each other. We sat down on the lawn and gazed at the cloudless skies. A squad of motorbikes blazed past behind us. Bronya turned around and looked at them. "I'll get one of those and we can ride it to the beach." That's what she said. Bronya promised to do that for me. Bronya also told me she held her breath for 4 minutes 35 seconds during training. 4 minutes 35 seconds. I remembered that very well. I remembered every moment I shared with Bronya. Her spetsnaz training included motorbike riding and underwater operations."

"What does spetsnaz mean? I never really heard that word before." "It's a Russian umbrella term for Russian Special Forces." "I would never know because I'm from North America." "I then saw a falling star. I quickly made a wish that Bronya would take me to the beaches." "Did she fulfill that wish?" "Of course she did. We walked along the beach, played beach volleyball, and built sand castles. Bronya buried me in the sand, leaving only my face exposed. The sun warmed the surface of the sea, but the deep parts were cold. I didn't jump when a wave came crashing and swallowed some water by accident. It was very salty. But I was really happy. You see, Patrick, I remembered everything... hahahaha." She started laughing like a Yandere. It felt like Yuri from "Doki Doki Literature Club."

"Seele?" Suddenly her body started to look like static and color glitches. Then a dark voice. "Very happy, aren't we? Ha. Ha. Ha. Is that how you remember things? Ha. Ha. Ha. You really like spending time with Bronya, right?" Then her body was normal. "Yes. Those were wonderful times." Then she turned static and color glitches again. "But those days were gone." "Is it really gone?" "Did you actually go to the beach with Bronya?" "I... I saw the sea... the azure waters..." "Did you actually go to the beach with Bronya?" "..."

Something was wrong with her. I put the diary book to the side and asked Drago. 'What's wrong with her?' "The other presence. It's inside of her. She's not alone."
