"Ah, hey," she suddenly cut in with a much more mature voice, grasping Aramat's hand and looking her in the eyes.

"You aren't a monster, not now, not ever. Even people who do terrible things have a chance to redeem themselves, to make things better."

"Are you sure- Are you sure Serena?" Her voice wobbles out.

"We were mad people, cared nothing for others. I see this everyday and the visions get stronger and stronger." Sometimes she feels like she's in a birdcage, but if she flies out she'll go to a world far more hostile to Aramat than this.

"I know so, I've seen even the worst people change, Aramat, and you are nothing like her. You just need someone to hold out their hand, someone to help. If it horrifies you now, you can change. It may take... years, and it's going to be hard, but you can do it. I believe in you. If that's what you really, truly want, it can happen."

She wrapped up Aramat in her arms, even if the woman was older, Usagi would never deny someone affection if they were in need.

"You're so strong, if you ant to change yourself you can, if you want to change the world, you can do that too."

"I just... I just wonder which is real sometimes. The woman in the visions, or the one here? Which is the false one?" Aramat says in-between sobs.

If if the horrid woman in the visions is true, then why is she here? And why try to remember anything else about her.

She kept a hold of Aramat and wondered if she should reveal herself, but then, Aramat was hurting, aching, how could she not? She swallowed and hugged the woman tighter.

"They're both you, but... but you don't have to keep being them if it makes you unhappy. You don't have to change for anyone but yourself, Aramat. Maybe... maybe you can find something new, or something in-between, something that will make you happy when everything is said and done."

"I just- I don't know what to do. I don't know who I am anymore."

Happiness is a fickle thing though.

"I hope. Sometimes I enjoy my time here, I just wish there wasn't this doubt."

"You are, from this moment forward, who you choose to be, Aramat." She held her hand and gave it a squeeze.

"And no matter what you remember, or what you see and what you did, you don't have to be that person, and you don't have to be the person the label wants you to be either."
