It was quite difficult not to reminisce on the olden days, where I was naïve and silent. Where I kept to myself, where I cared for everything and everyone.

Now it was all in the past. Though I have sort of changed back. I was back to caring, and back to not faking anything I did.

But often times, it was a real struggle to ignore the fact that I didn't got any closure.

There is nothing I can do at all about this, however,

exams are coming up and I can finally finish my first year in senior high school.

I sighed as I leaned against my chair. It has been quite some time since I just wandered around the Pleb Hub. I might do just that.

I entered the Pleb Hub, wearing my casual wear. A plain pink sweater on top of a white polo and some regular jeans, with my hair styled in a bun with the help of my black hairclip.

They've seen my face when they first opened their eyes. So it wasn't an issue for them to see me walking around.

The change of scenery is just what I need before returning to the real world.

If only I could stay here forever. But alas, that isn't possible.

As I neared the Pleb Hub's garden, a spot I go whenever I am in distress, I noticed a certain brown-haired boy was sitting on the bench I usually sat at.

I smiled and sat beside him.

"Dear child, what seems to be the problem?" I asked. The boy looked up at me, sighed, and turned back to staring at the flowers.

"Ms. Creator." He said, sadness evident in his tone. "I don't understand. Why haven't I been deployed to a mission yet?" He asked. 

I wrapped my arms around him. "Lucas, dear, it's not because you don't have a mission or because I find you not fit for any mission. It is because I am still molding you and the world you shall be assigned too." I said, comforting the boy.

"You mean it?" Lucas asked, smiling slightly. "I do. Once it's finished, I shall send you out immediately. You have my word, my child." I said, as he hugged me.

Lucas left, saying he had to talk to Ontier in a few minutes. So I was left alone in the garden. The silence welcomed thoughts to run through my head, that was until someone entered the garden.

"It's quite the pleasure seeing you here," A voice said. I nodded my head, as I held one of the nearby plant's leaf on my hand. "I really needed some time away from my reality." I simply said. The person I knew all too well, sat beside me. 

"It's time to move on, you know?" 

"I know."

"But why won't you?"

"I don't know."

"Time to make a decision then."

"Thanks for the great reminder, L.""

"Anytime, Ms. #." Was Lilian's reply to me. I sighed, letting go of the leaf. "I'm surprised you moved on quickly. Why can't I do the same?" I wondered.

"You said it yourself. I am the person you wish to be, but cannot be. I'm basically living the life you wanted." Lilian explained. "But the thing is. You don't control my life. You don't control my decisions. You don't control anyone in the Pleb Hub, despite creating us." Lilian continued on, her eyes looking dead serious.

"I believe in giving you all free-will. I do intervene when it would bring harm to you and the people in your world." I said.

"I understand. Through this free-will, I found myself forgiving... him. Despite all he did. I hope you can do the same. You are a free person, so it's time you break away from the chains of the past. Though I think it's time you return to your realm and start reviewing for that test you have. And to start forgetting and forgiving them." Lilian said, looking at me.

"I forgave them. Long ago. I just can't seem to forget them. Despite what they have done. Despite not even admitting they have done it." I said.

Facts!

- Yes the Pleb Hub has a Garden

- ####### is basically me irl, so there is that

- Like Lilian said, Lilian is the person I want to be but cannot due to some reasons I cannot explain in this chapter alone

- Lucas is one of the newer OC's with no final story, so he stays in the Pleb Hub

- And yes I have a test tomorrow and instead of reviewing I am writing this because yes

- the them that ####### is referring too will be revealed as the story progressed. But maybe you have some guesses? No? That's alright. Or maybe I hinted it down below? Meh.

- ####### is the only person in this book that'll be in the first person point of view, the rest are 3rd person point of view

- I do have that pink sweater and white polo. It's my favorite attire

- ####### is like a mother to all of the OC's in the Pleb Hub (though it kind of means ####### is actually their mother since ####### created em)

- ####### is closest with Lilian, and Lilian is the only one who knows the entire life of #######

- I don't have a garden irl but I would love to have one

- Whenever there is silence, I tend to think a lot. I hate it, cause it'll end up with me remembering things I wish to forget. So I always have some audio playing, whatever it may be from songs to youtube videos I don't mind.

is true. I used to be silent and caring, keeping to myself, to the point I didn't socialize with my other previous classmates and stick by my old friend group only. I cared about my previous class, sure do I did. Did I love my old class? Oh dear, that's opening a whole new can of worms. I changed after an incident, and returned to being caring to others. At the same time, opening up as well. Not faking my emotions and all. And yes, my current class is the best I kid you not. I love them with all my heart. Each and everyone of them.

So, 11-Benevolence, if you managed to find this somehow. I love you all. I really do. You don't know how much, despite being tired, do I smile just knowing I get to go to class with you all. To my best friend, to my classmates I had small interactions with. I love you all. <3
