Wordcount: 323
Short summary: Nadia wonders how this could have happened. But more importantly...
She’s cried so many tears that she can’t cry anymore, even if she feels like it.
Even if her heart hurts. Even if it won’t stop hurting because it’s been broken into pieces.
How could this… How could this happen? Just a few days ago, she and Swin had been arguing, yes, but they had the same goal! They had the same information, the same beliefs! How could he, without telling her… How could he just…
Nadia would have listened to him. She understands Swin’s loyalty to Ace. She understands it so well but still…
It hurts.
They were supposed to be together forever. They had a promise! So it shouldn’t just…cease to be so easily! And she’s still not sure that the person that Swin left with is even Ace! Even if Swin thinks so, even if she saw the face that was exactly the same as Ace’s, there’s just something wrong! Because even if he was somehow miraculously alive, Ace wouldn’t act like this…act so…maliciously! Her brother would never be that guy, ever!
(If Swin is loyal to Ace he’d follow this “Ace”, well Nadia is loyal to the Ace she knows from her memories. The one who always protected her, guided her, loved her…)
She pounds her fists into her pillow. Everything just…sucks! It’s so frustrating! It’s so sad! Painful! Lonely! Absurd!
Yes, it’s absurd! Something is just not right. She believes in Swin… Because she will always be loyal to Swin. So she doesn’t believe, even as he’s “betrayed” them to help Ace, that he would ever do such harm with malintent. Her mind is set. She just has to save Swin from himself! She’ll expose the truth and he will see…he will understand…
She sits up from her bed. She doesn’t need to bring much. There’s no time to waste and only one goal.
She’s going to get Swin back, no matter what!
