|| Dearly Beloved || Utada Hikaru ||
Callisto whirled around, a spot of conflict zipping through her eyes. She shook her head, pushing on a smile. "You surprised me," her voice was soft, recalling the fear she had seen in her sister when she had awoken. Io had no idea who Callisto was, only that they were sisters, but she seemed satisfied with that small bit of information alone. "Thank you," Callisto did a twirl, facing Io once more, who hugged her. It was a surprise, they hadn't hugged in years, even as androids, even on the day they had taken a private train tour, the most they did was hold hands. Callisto relaxed in Io's arms, she had missed this, had missed them. "Your first mission?" Io had released her, the two standing an arms length away.
What did this mission entail? Kidnapping more androids? No doubt Io had no idea that they were on the wrong side here. Suddenly, Callisto's expression changed to one of alarm. "Io," she grabbed her sister's hands. "Don't go after Jace," she urged. "You can't win against her," Jace was a combat unit that could see stealth units, she was no doubt angry about the kidnapping as well. How had they even found her? Unless Jace had purposely exposed herself in order to be captured and brought here so that she and Callisto could be reunited. Callisto blushed when Io mentioned wrestling in bed. "That's not!- Never mind," that wasn't what she needed to focus on anyhow. "This isn't a good idea, you and Firis should stay here." Besides, without her memory, Io was too naive to recognize the dangers of this mission.
She wanted to know about their past, but Callisto was almost afraid to tell her. Should she lie? No, Io's internal lie detector would go off no doubt. Callisto released Io's hands and turned, removing her dress. She hung it up and pulled on a sweater and leggings. "How much time do you have until you leave?" Callisto asked, sitting down on the bed. "There's a lot you need to know," she would be honest without informing Io of the more painful parts of their history, she decided. Her sister was in an innocent state, surely she would be overwhelmed by their dark history. "This side, Firis's side, aren't the good people, they're the bad guys Io." Callisto informed her, figuring sh should at least give her that. "They kidnapped us from my last concert in New Tokyo, we were supposed to go back home."
Instead they were here, in a literal prison in Cuba. "Our parents never wanted twins," Callisto began, but stopped, almost choking. "They decided to embrace it though," as much as they could. "We have an older brother named Metis, he loved us a lot, he was like a Dad. We did everything together, we would go on walks, play in the snow, and had all the same classes. I was an overachiever, you struggled in school, but I always tried to help you." Callisto held her hands together in front of her as she spoke. "You met Dane in our Freshman year of high school, you started skipping school, you didn't want to learn anymore, you struggled with reading, but you did your best, you always did your best." Callisto looked up at Io, wondering how she could tell her this next part without hurting her sister.
"In our next year, I was diagnosed with cancer." Callisto admitted softly, "You disappeared from the house, you would leave for days at a time, but you never told anyone where. I was in the hospital, I was supposed to die and we had a fight. You disappeared again, I never thought I would see you again, I thought I had died, and when I woke up... I was an android and so were you. You asked Azariah Reiss to save me and she in turn, had given us both to GENOS Labs, who made us into androids."
