@dinomites sent: "It seems so strange that they can't see you... but I can. I wish that I could do something like that... so I can be left alone but be able to talk to the people I care about." ( Aelia to Black Swan )

Unprompted

Black Swan's head tilts at that, gentle smile on her face as always. She isn't too surprised to hear that; any child would likely see it like that. "Perhaps on paper it seems a blessing, and yet there is little that doesn't have a disadvantage to it." Her smile falters slightly, before she continues. "I gave up my body in devotion to the Remembrance, and through my lack of body, it is how I can pick and choose who sees me. I am a Memetic Entity, a being of memories. Or, in simpler terms...a ghost."

She crosses one arm beneath her chest, whilst her other arm's hand moves to rest on her chest, her smile having shifted into a more neutral expression. "This is a life I took on wholly willingly, but it means I am eternally going backward towards the past, whilst those around me go forward towards the future. This is not a life for everyone, or even most people."

She then smiles again, both arms lowering as she then kneels down to Aelia's level. "Though your life has been turbulent, you are still able to live your own life as you choose. You are the one who decides your future, even if you face difficulties accomplishing that." Her smile grows wider. "So, dearest Aelia, know that you have those who you can rely on, who can help you to carve your own path even when it seems impossible to overcome whatever you are facing. And know that I will be there, witnessing every step of the way, until it comes to an end."
