Primordial Journey; Into the Depths

As the trio of the Black Sand Pirates would lackadaisically drift along, passing through people every so often and remaining relatively silent as the captain steered his ship, Tymon, though patient and steadfast in his journey, was a little tired of moving so slowly.

He looked around at the beautiful aquatic creatures that passed by the translucent tube that was the Underground Waterway in awe, finding that this was more beautiful to look at these creatures down below than it was to look at the ones nearer to the surface. Guess that was something about water... The deeper you go, the darker it gets, but the more beautiful things there are in that darkness.

"Woah! Is this what the underwater of the Veritas looks like!?!?"

He couldn't believe that deep below the surface were things like this... It was like a whole different universe or something, yet it was still quite clearly connected to the land they were in. The Veritas was a strange place, indeed, but beautiful, nonetheless.

"I can't wait to see what creatures are here..."

Still resting on his shoulders, lost in some deep thought of her own, Friday remained silent as Tymon enjoyed the sights of the deepening underpass. She didn't seem to have much to say, for she was a bit downtrodden by the scenario that flashed in her head over and over. She, being Tsuki's Will, couldn't get over the fact that their meeting ended the way it did. Though it was something that she should probably get over, she wasn't exactly pleased with herself... So it was difficult when such things kept replaying over and over and over. Perhaps this disappointment that she felt was the same that was going on within Tsuki; the very reason why she left in the first place.


Her silence, though soundless, spoke more words than her words would have in this scenario. Usually, Tymon's enthusiasm would brighten her own, but she couldn't even enjoy the beautiful sights... unfortunately.

"..." His crew was silent. Sakai, who had basically been resting, and Friday, who eerily fell silent, left Tymon's words lingering in the air with no response. "... What's the matter, love?" he'd say to the dreamy girl that rested upon his shoulders, "You usually love this sort of stuff." He was worried about her. Ever since she got back, she'd been a little different, for whatever reason. It was bothering him to the point where he couldn't even focus on looking at (and for) all the wonderful creatures that roamed around this undersea aquarium. "Wanna talk about it~?"

Further down the hallway, a long ways off, a couple of Servicemen could be seen walking out of the dark corridor and up the sloped path rather dutifully. Where they were coming from and why was unknown, but they did not seem to have any clear-set duty that they were doing, due to the lack of urgency in their mechanical movements.

As they drew near, they both would simultaneously pick up on a disturbance in the atmosphere around them, a reading that they were both very keen on since there was nothing going on around here.

They would say in tandem, "Hm. A disturbance. Warning." before their eyes flashed red and their friendly smiles would become distraught frowns. They walked now more carefully up the pass, keeping an eye out for whatever this disturbance they were feeling was.

She shied away from the question, turning her head and burying her face in his hat. She remained silent for a while, contemplating whether or not she should tell him what was bothering here or not. She didn't want to sound like a bitch, especially since, even if only in spirit, she was still here with her love. She didn't want to worry him with her trivial personal problems, even if she knew that he wanted to hear about them. He was sweet, but she knew he had better things to do than to try to make her feel better. She should be able to do things like that on her own, anyway... So, that's what she intended to do.

"Oh, don't worry about it... I'm just... Thinking about some things..." Even though she wanted to leave it at that, knowing Tymon, he wouldn't allow it to be left at that... He was the type of guy that, once he knew there was a problem, he would go out of his way to fix it... Even if it wasn't as serious as he was making it. He had sweet thoughts and intent, but his delivery could use a little more work, in all honesty. But maybe that's what this journey he was on was all about.

Before too long in their rather smooth cruise, Friday sensed that there was something strange up ahead. She quickly perked up and gazed into the darkness, before her head would disappear for a brief moment and appear in the distance. She saw two more men identical to the ones that they saved Sakai from, and it seemed like they were now alerted to their presence. Her head returned to her body in a ghastly wisp and she'd tap Tymon on the head, "Hey. Some of those goons are up ahead, and it seems like they sensed us. I don't think they can see us, but they can probably read us, since they're robots." It was one of those fortunate unfortunate incidents that allowed her to not have to express her true feelings, but it could take a turn for the worst if they didn't get through this. Their whole mission could be compromised if those guys found out and flooded the Aquarium. But, knowing her hubby... He'd find a way out of it.

Each of the passing creatures that flowed through the beautiful waters would drift dreamily through the lucid ocean that surrounded the Underground Waterway. Every so often, a larger creature would pass by, which, if it weren't for the scenario at hand, would probably have drawn much awe and attention from the crew on the ship. Even the smaller creatures in the mystical spacious sea would bear witness to the strife that the trio were currently in and, as animals, were in tune with not only their intent, but their feelings, as well. With this same harmony shared with each other and their wavelengths being conducted on the deep-sea watery waves, the aquatic animals would begin to act eerily, forming patterns and formations that only they were aware of the meaning, or even that it was being done. They could very clearly see the two Servicemen and, even though they could not clearly see the ship, they could feel its wavelengths and vibrations, giving them clarity of its whereabouts.

In an urgent sense to help them out, for whatever reason they were inspired to do so, a mystical animal would float alongside them at the border of the translucent barrier separating the water from the tube-like walkway. Its eyes seemed to glow with a bright, mystic light that was unlike the other animals... as was its shape and form. It seemed to resemble a sort of mix between an aquatic animal and a land animal, all wrapped up in a cosmic veil that masked its true form.


It attempted to guide them to where it was, causing small ripples in the solid barrier to reveal not only that this creature had some sort of mystical power, but also that it was alright for them to follow it into the water, for whatever reason.

"Thinking about some things, huh?" he said in a tone mimicking her own, as a means of showing her that not only was he not buying it, but that he caught on to the fact that there was something more to it than what she was revealing to him. She definitely was right to know that he would want to pry further, for if he knew the information, he could always find the solution. For some reason, it didn't matter what the scenario was, as long as he had all of the information (or at least enough), he could piece together everything; from the scenario itself to the solution, and any number of alternate paths and solutions that could be made from it until one was decided upon.

"Well, you know that's not gonna cut it with me. I want details, love. You know I hate it when you're down. I can feel it. We're connected in our hearts, remember?" Though he was serious, he said it in a playful tone as to at least show her that he could be compassionate about the situation, despite the gravity of it, in his eyes. However, it was cut short once she explained to him that there was trouble up ahead. "Oh, shit, really? Fine, well... Don't think you're off the hook. But, we do need to get past these guys... And this hallway is narrow..." It was already established that they couldn't drift off into the water. Despite being intangible and invisible, they still needed to breathe... But these guys could sense them somehow, perhaps using methods that did not require perceptual vision, but maybe the reading of wavelengths or something. They were in a pinch...

That is, until he noticed the aquatic creatures acting a little funny around him. He wasn't sure why, but perhaps... It had something to do with his natural affinity to the water and all the sea creatures, which was why he could not only tell something was up, but feel it within them as though he were one of them. He looked up and around, seeing the larger animals seeming to orchestrate this phenomenon whilst the little ones merely engaged in it. "Oh, great, now the animals are acting up, too... Crap. We might have to abort this mission..." He grit his teeth and looked off to either side, trying to figure out any other way. He didn't want to fight and cause a scene; that would be counterproductive, even if they could win.

It was then that he noticed a rather peculiar creature that looked different from the others... Sure, the other creatures were beautiful and filled with a cosmic sort of luster that seemed to fill the ocean naturally (especially with the beautiful planets and celestial bodies flowing undersea), but there was something different about this one specifically... He couldn't put his finger on it, but as it spoke to him and insisted they come near it, he saw the ripple in the glass, hinting that it had some sort of special power that would probably allow them to pass through. He only hoped that whatever it was, it would also allow them to breathe underwater.

"Shiiiiiiiit, we're gonna follow that mysterious ass water creature, that's what we're gonna do!! Fuck tha bullshit!!" He spun the wheel hard to the left, turning the ship toward the barrier wall, "Alright, water thing! I'm gonna trust you and see where this goes, yeah!?" And with that, he would steer the ship straight into the wall with high hopes that they would survive...

ΠSakai said nothing and she did nothing. She didn't even open her eyes, because weebs weren't worth looking at or something along those safe line of what she was thinking. She just slept there the whole time, even tho she was awear of something like this happening, etc.Π

When Tymon turned the ship into the barrier, it would immediately seep through the wall rippling like water, covered by a cosmic veil similar to that which streamed from the being and littered the waters with the sparkling dust. This would enable them all to be able to freely swim through the water and breathe it as though it were air.

Around them, they would be able to see things that they were not able to on the other side of the glass; creatures whose natural light did not pass through glass, making them completely invisible behind translucent walls. Large, colorful, exotic jellyfish spiraled slowly through the water, arcing around the moon-like construct that glowed faintly in the distance.


As the creature led them on, another spectacle found its way to meet them; a large whale that looked to be made up of the stars itself. The aquatic constellar creature wailed a beautiful tune, swimming under their ship slowly, yet gleefully.


"We know who you are," it said, "And we have led you here to help you on your quest... And guide you to both what you seek and what you need..." the creature flipped and swirled around the ship, swimming rather swiftly through the water as though hovering through the air, "Partake of these creatures' blessings if you so choose." It looked to Sakai, noticing within her the power of Ice, "... And you, she blessed with Ice... If you so choose, you may ask and receive a gift from the depths of the water, as well..." The creature looked to them all and nodded its head, "I will leave you to frolic upon the waters and return to guide you when the time is right..." With that, it would disperse into an array of glittering specks that would spread across the sea like an asteroid belt.

"Yare yare, can't seem to catch a nice nap, but it's all cool. Sooo I get a wish Huh? Sounds like one of those "I'll do it, but you gotta do something for me" type of things and I'm not down for that. So I'll pass on that whole "wish" thing."

ΠSakai wasn't stupid, she knew where these type of things went and she wasn't down with it. Pluse she didn't want anything to do with something she didn't care about, because no one could grant her wish and she knew that was a fact. So she passed on that, but once that was done she went back to sleep.Π

Tymon gazed up in awe at all the beautiful marvelous spectral creatures that were floating around him in the sea that resembled the depths of space, eyes gleaming with stars and sparkles at the spectacles he saw before him. "Uwaaaaaaahhhhh~!" he cooed, his eyes widening at all of it. And then, that's when the mystical water thing told him that these creatures of this place were, basically, his friends and wanted to help him on his journey. That's all he needed to hear.

"FUCK YEAH! YOU GOT IT, MYSTICAL ASS WATER THING!!" He heard Sakai say something about 'wishes' or something, but she must have been dreaming all of that foolishness, cuz lord knows that Tymon, the attentive one here, heard nothing of the sort being said by them. "... Wish? ... I dunno what you heard, but I'm about to go have fun. Later, stiff!" he'd say before, without a second thought, hurdling himself off the side of the ship and onto the cosmic whale that just passed him by. He wasn't sure what Friday was gonna do, but he sure as hell was about to have some fun with these here water things whilst Sakai basically kept the shit warm with her icy stiffness.

As Tymon insisted on impulsively hurling himself off of the ship, Friday would stay behind and let him have fun in his element. He certainly enjoyed the water due to his sign, and quite possibly was about to have a field day with his Epic Art, but Friday was with Sakai on this one. She had a lot to think about and wasn't really feeling up to it right at the moment. "You go on ahead," she'd mutter to him before lifting her legs from around his neck and bending backward into the air, hovering down to her feet gently, "Have fun, baby!" she'd say, waving at him as he hooked onto the cosmic whale.

Meanwhile, Friday would hover toward Sakai, lying down next to her and sprawling herself out on the deck floor, perfectly alright with looking up at the oceanic stars filling the waters all around them. Sakai was asleep, and that certainly meant that, if she wanted to, she could enter the dream of Sakai and eat it, considering that Friday was a Baku. However, despite how she usually would be when she saw a tasty morsel as a sitting duck, her own thoughts and feelings got in the way of her playfully mischievous behavior. She sighed heavily, kicking a leg up over her knee and just lying there. If Sakai interacted with her, she might be willing to respond; she seemed to have something going on within her, as well. Perhaps the two girls could help each other out.

Once Tymon latched onto the cosmic whale, he would begin to feel its energy course through his body, connecting them in their minds and hearts. The energy would cause the boy to glow in a spectrum of color similar to what the whale itself emanated from its own being. Though it moves slowly through the water, due to its largeness, it would feel as though it were rushing swiftly since it covered more ground more swiftly with its greater size. With their minds and souls connected, it would begin to speak to him through its melodious wails.

"Hold on tight..." it said, taking a them up over the ship and around toward where the beautiful moon was. Apparently, the whale wished to show the boy all of the wonders of this interstellar undersea environment before it was time for him to depart. Whether he knew it or not, his traveling here was more important to him than he could ever imagine... And all of the cosmic marine life were aware of this. They would quickly reach the sparkling trail left by the mystical unknown creature, flowing into it and riding its current swiftly all the way to the moon.

"Huh? Oh yeah that thing said "gift" didn't it? My bad, even tho it's really not that big of a difference, but whatever I still don't want it."

ΠSakai just brushed that off and continued to lie there and enjoy the peace of sleep; because nothing else really caught her eye except sleeping. However, she noticed that, that one chick came to chill with her or something like that.Π

"Sooo what are you? It's clear that you're not normal. You could call this girl talk or whatever."

She didn't realized that she was being addressed by the sleeping girl that was apparently talking to herself before, but then started talking to her. If she weren't paying attention, then perhaps she wouldn't have even caught it at all, in all honesty. Then she would have missed the entire thing and just drifted off into a slumber, herself.

"I'm a Baku. We're Dream Eaters. But I'm also a Fairy. And a Witch. It's like being a mix of a Human, a Demon and an Angel, or something." She wasn't too big on that sort of lore. That was more Tymon's thing, he being her human equivalent after all. She would learn more about his culture eventually... Perhaps, where her Human self was. "Uh, you could say, a 'Fae,' if you will." She thought about what her True Self could be doing right now... Dreaming up how that could be going... She would be lost in a forlorn daydream for a moment or two before she snapped back to reality and remembered that she had Ice Powers or something. "And what about you? You think that having those ice powers is just what normal people have? I thought everyone knew that Balneal was where everyone hides their powers in order to blend in with the normal people. That's the hotspot." But this chick looked like she was too cool for the rules, anyway. Kinda liked her attitude, since she was the same way.

"Yare yare, all that mixed into one Huh? Sounds like a something else hehehe, but why be mixed with so much? I mean why not be one thing and call it a day?"

ΠSakai sighed, she was gonna keep most of what she wanted to say to herself and what not. She wasn't sure why everyone had to be a jumbo mess of everything, since it wasn't called for in her opinion.

She kept her eyes closed and sighed again.Π

"As for my powa, it's what makes me normal. Trust me, from what I can remember; I'm something far worse then you could imagine. And that town was backwards, much like everyone I see."

"I am one thing," She said, rolling her eyes and giving Sakai the 'wtf is this' look and hand gesture, "But I mean, I'm just a new thing. Just like my lover. He's a one of a kind and so am I. No other things like us, apparently." She lowered her hand and returned to her position of rest, sighing a bit, "That's what makes us special and meant for each other, or whatever." She knew that it was because of these things that no one else had that made them partners, but it still didn't mean it was going to just all click together immediately, especially since they had their things to go through in order to make it function properly. Talking to this girl helped her put that into perspective, somehow.

She rolled over, looking at the cold expression on Sakai's face, "Yeah, you definitely seem pretty normal to me. But that's good. You don't wanna be in the fucked up shit we have to deal with." There was so much that they had to endure just to be together, as well as everything else that happened because of it. Honestly, it was just a lot for her to deal with... Which was why she was unsettled. "A lot of people are backwards... Especially the ones without powers and stuff. It's weird. But that's why they aren't allowed to have them, I guess..." Would probably go fucking things up, or something.

"But you should probably try to be a little more open. I saw what was there on your chest when you were going to the bathroom... Or whatever." The glowing light in a small room of mirrors without a roof over it was definitely a dead giveaway, regardless of if Tymon was doing his own thing trying to get the ship into a safe spot where they could rest and relax, "... I hope that's not serious, or anything. Whatever it is."

"One of a kind Huh? I'm sure you don't really buy into that mess, do you? This ain't a small world, so there's plenty of people like you. Now rather you believe it or not is up to you."

ΠSakai didn't buy into the "One of a kind" jazz, because there was always someone just like everyone; all you had to do was look. She took in a breath and exhaled a fog like substance from her mouth, it wasn't anything really except colder air.Π

"Good to know that you think I'm normal, that's all anyone should think really. And I think everyone has a power and what they do with it is up to them and no one should judge them."

ΠDeep down she was a rather critical person and didn't feel that anyone was bad based off of what they did. Like she said before "What's right to one is wrong to the other and vice versa".Π

"Oh that? Its nothing really, just a little birth mark."

Friday swung her leg up and down, thinking about these things that the strange ice girl was saying. As Tymon was off doing his Tymon things, which could very well just be anything, she just wanted to enjoy this time of reflection.

"... Yeah, I am honestly one of a kind. Everybody is, really. Otherwise, you'd be me and not you." This was just how things were. There were no need for two exact same beings in the exact same place, because everything had something different to do that was specifically up to them and only them, that no one else could do. That's why they were all 'one of a kind,' even if they were all generally the same. "But I don't really expect you to get that. You're just... All normal." She giggled, poking fun at the icy girl. She was pretty stiff, even if she was laid back.

"But if you think everyone has their own power, you agree that it's what makes them unique, right? Judging is for whether I wanna be around you or not~." So far, the girl hadn't done anything bad at all. She just seemed to have a rather apathetic or indifferent, slightly obnoxious and rude attitude, but none of these things were bad. They would probably get on Tymon's nerves, but Friday tended to like things like that, since she did so to him every so often, too. It was cute... Sometimes.

"I don't except you to understand. However, when you go deeper into the pit, you'll see that at the core we're all the same, but it takes time to see that. I've had lots of time to understand that much, even if my mind isn't as I'd like it to be."

ΠSakai's viewpoint was far different from the normal simple type of person, she saw everything for what it truly was. Tho getting others to see that viewpoint wasn't always easy, because everyone likes to see what they want to see, rather than what they should be seeing.Π

"There's nothing to be got really. And thanks for calling me "normal", but you to are normal."

ΠShe knew Friday's lot and it didn't supprise her one bit, tho it was nice to get a refresh every once in awhile.Π

"Yare yare, having powers doesn't make you, me or anyone unique whatsoever. Because we're all the same, this guy has fire and I have ice; but, we both have powers so it doesn't mean I'm unique and it doesn't mean he's unique."

ΠUnderstanding Sakai was hard if you saw through rose colored glass, because to understand her was to understand why she was like this in a way. Aside from that, she turned over to her side, she wanted to look a Friday directly, she wanted to see into her soul and maybe then and only then would this understanding be clear. (Since it wasn't stated, I'm referring to the "Eyes are a gateway to the soul").

"Yes a birth mark and it does something, but it's something that I'd rather not have to go through again."

Friday waved her hand off to Sakai lackadaisically, partially listening and partially blowing her off. Even though her words were true, Friday had her own things to come into understanding of, naturally, to a different degree than Sakai. Though, those things would probably help her True Self understand life a little better when the info got relayed... Whenever that may be.

"Naaaah, you're just crazy. I already know that type of stuff," she'd say, sniffling her nose a bit, "I get that we're all normal and stuff, but normal and unique are two different things. We can all be unique and still be perfectly normal. You're just... More normal than... Me!" She tried again at poking at Sakai, but knowing how this girl was so far, she'd just pass it off and say something snide or something. Though, Friday had to get her 'childish tendencies' in order, she had to admit. But what was said wouldn't be taken back, because she was a bitch like that sometimes.

Despite being clearly told 'no' before being asked, the curious Friday would insist upon the question anyway, simply because she had difficulty dealing with the boundaries of others, at times. "What does it do? I wanna see."

"Aren't we all a little crazy? And it still doesn't matter to me, but that's enough of that talk and thanks for saying I'm normal. You really do know how to make a girl feel happy don't you?"

ΠIt was nice to talk to someone who wasn't a complete ass and couldn't understand anything. Sakai always found these "People" to be fun. Tho she wasn't sure why Friday wanted to see what her "Birth mark" did, even after being told "No" in so many other words.Π

"You're quite a picker Huh? Well since I enjoyed our girl time so much, I'll show you."

ΠShe didn't normally do this for anyone, but she was in a good mood; even tho her face didn't show it whatsoever. She sat up and took her hands and started to unbutton her short, as well as taking off her tie. Once she was done, she'd open her shirt and slightly pulled down her bra.

She would then point at the star and it would glow, before her clothes froze over and that was it for the most part. Tho is wasn't a look change, it was something else.Π

"See, that's it."

ΠObviously she was lying.Π

Friday giggled at her, finding it cute that she seemingly enjoyed something... Even if her facial expression and demeanor didn't show it. She always liked making others happy, even if sometimes her methods were a bit extreme or too mischievous for others to bear. This was why only Tymon was capable of dealing with her all the time... But that just meant she had more of herself to work on so she could be a presentable person to others besides him. She really did like the girl talk, too... Since she didn't ever really have any with anyone or anything. Like Tymon, her existence was pretty solitary most of the time...

"The crazies are what makes us normal. And unique. That's why it's crazy." She brushed her hand through her hair and giggled again, though becoming rather surprised when the woman insisted on showing her despite not wanting to. "Really?!" She said, jumping up and looking her in the eyes, "You'll really show me?!" She she got excited, things on the ship would start to fall, or break, or random slight disturbances would occur. She wasn't paying much attention, so she didn't really pay it any mind. Instead, she just watched and enjoyed the show as she saw Sakai unbutton her shirt all sexy-like (even if with a completely expressionless face.) "Yeah... Take it off, hottie..." she muttered under her breath, licking her lips a bit sensually. "Nice tits," she had to add, since they were indeed right there all bouncy and ready to be played with...

But after all the hype and build up that Sakai put Friday through just to freeze herself over, which seemed relatively normal to her, Friday would pout and the ground under the both of them would crack randomly. "Buu... That's really all it does?! Geez, how lame." She couldn't tell if this woman was lying, but it seemed like she was. Even so, Friday would merely puff out her cheeks and slam her head back on the floor, causing it to crack further. "... Ouch... ;; " She rubbed the back of it, completely unaware of the events going on around her because of her excitement. "You're no fun..." she'd say, now having calmed down once her 'Bad Luck' of sorts came back to bite her in the ass with that careless blow to her head she allowed to happen in her recklessness emotion.

"Whaa? You think I'm hot? Oh, I don't know how to react to that; how should I react? And my boobs are nice to? Oh my, I don't know why I feel this feeling, but I feel happier than before."

ΠSakai wasn't use to hearing these things, so she didn't know how to act when someone told her things like that. At that point, that feeling she was feeling made her steam a bit; because that's what was now coming out of her head, steam. Her face was all red and her heart was racing, she just literally couldn't believe someone said something nice about her. (Given the fact she was call a freak by that woman from the town)Π

"MY BODY IS NOW COMPLETELY ICE, SO I TECHNICALLY BECAME THE ELEMENT ITSELF AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, JUST RUN YOUR HAND THROUGH MY BODY."

ΠShe said quickly! She felt so good that she had to tell Friday the truth about what really happened.Π

Friday, still rubbing her head, would be halfway paying attention to Sakai as she went through her little flustering emotions. Friday turned to see her steaming, with a face as bright as a beetroot. She snickered a bit and her eyes lowered, but her brows were raised, "Ohhh? Not so cold now, are ya~?" Even if her expression still seemed stiff and expressionless, it was clear that on the inside, there was a lot of feeling going on with this one. Friday liked that, though, and now was interested in seeing how much she could do. She always enjoyed playing like that, especially when it was all in the spirit of fun. She just needed to know how to get control of taking her fun too far... As she sometimes tended to do.

"It's good that you're happy, then," she'd say warmly, raising her hand and sticking it through her body, "You looked a little down while Tymon was piloting, but he was just trying to get us to a safe place before we could sit down and talk to you." She would continue to wave her hand through Sakai, completely passing through and feeling how cold and hollow her body was inside. "Wow, you really did change completely into ice. Guess you're not so normal after all, huh~?" She snickered again, taking her hand out and looking up at the beautiful sea of stars again, "... I think he picked a nice place... He's a little spontaneous sometimes, so don't mind him... He's like a little kid when it comes to his heart and spirit..." though it made him innocent and sometimes a little kiddish, it was what she really loved about him, because without it... She probably wouldn't still exist. Kids lose their fairies after a certain period of time if they do not maintain their childish innocence, which is where the Fairies rest inside of their hearts... She was one of the lucky ones. Humans were really fearsome creatures sometimes; more so than the Fae. Thinking about that made her smile... He did really love her.

She lowered her head, though, finding that thought hard to bear, for some reason. "... Dammit..." she muttered to herself, gazing off to the side. She wondered what was wrong with her... Why her True Self couldn't do the same... Even if the love was there and true, there was something holding her back besides the Thirteen Restrictions... Something Friday couldn't really put her finger on. Hopefully... it wasn't the curse...
