|| Never Enough|| The Greatest Showman ||
When Yui awoke, it was in a strange place. She was cold, so very cold, the wind howling outside of the window. A tower, Yui realized, she was trapped inside of a tower like a princess. Slowly, Yui rose from the bed, taking the blanket with her to look outside. Snow whipped through the mountains of a frozen desert, Antarctica, the farthest reaches of humanity, where Yui could feel no ones light. She fell to her knees, tears of frustration welling up in her eyes. "Why? Why can I never stop them?" She sobbed, feeling something strange in her heart. Yui wasn't alone, but she didn't know who was with her, or why. A slot in the door cracked open, food falling through. Yui ran to it, sticking her hand through to see who was there. A robot, a robot had delivered the food. Yui was truly alone here, where not even her miracles could influence humanity.
She wasn't sure how much time passed. She fell asleep in the bed, trying to warm her freezing body. She didn't touch the food, but sometimes drank the water or juice, talking to whom she believed was Resplendia watching over her. "But you don't want me to call you that anymore? Okay, Dia, that feels right." Yui said softly, clutching the shell necklace that rest over her heart. Yui waited, for what she didn't know, a rescue maybe, but she had a feeling that this time, no one was coming. K was the star of freedom, xe could free memories, body parts, and perhaps other things too from a person. So Yui waited, dancing to keep warm, biding her time until K came. Hunger gnawed at her stomach, but she pushed the trays back through the slot they came through, sometimes attempting to pick the lock. Had it been days? Months? Years? Yui didn't know. She had no way to count the time that passed except with naps. In Antarctica during the long summer days, the sun only set for an hour, so Yui had plenty of time to charge.
Then one day, the door opened. Yui was sitting in the bath, talking to Resplendia, who never did answer, but Yui knew she was there. "Talking to yourself? I guess the isolation is beginning to get to you." She bolted upright and grabbed a towel, soaking wet as she ran into the main room to see K standing there, looking smug. "You!" Yui screamed, charging forward. "Ah, ah, I wouldn't do that." K tugged on a leash, pulling Ren and Luna inside. "I thought you might want to see your friends. I'm not hurting them, don't worry, they're doing great things though." Yui ran forward, colliding into them as she hugged her angels, tears welling up in her eyes. "Please, don't leave me." Yui said as she pulled them close. Ren's eyes were blank, "Who are you?" He asked, her body stiffening.
"Ah yes, your greatest fear is to be forgotten, is it not?" K grinned, "Resplendia shared that with you." Xe pat Yui's hair. "Start eating food, or I'll stop giving it and you'll die a painful, hungry death, only to wake up hours later and die from the same fate, again and again." Yui swallowed hard, nodding. "That's a good girl. Do not worry, your part will come soon, once you've understood my despair." K left, tugging Luna and Ren out behind her. "Resplendia lives inside of you," someone said as the door closed, but whether it was Ren or Luna, Yui couldn't tell.
"Is that true?" Yui asked softly, hugging herself. "Are you truly there?"
