Lylli: Wha? Where am I? Why is that teddy so huge?
Grace: Did you just wake up, sweetie?
Lylli:
Why is this lady so big??
Lylli: Wha? Where am I? Why is that teddy so huge?
Grace: Did you just wake up, sweetie?
Lylli:
Why is this lady so big??
Alice: Goodbye, little sister. I’d say don’t forget about us while you’re gone, but you probably will anyways.
Lylli: Yep, it’s true. When I leave, I’m going to forget for sure. It’s not on purpose though, I swear!
Alice: You should give Lylith a hug this time before you leave. I know she’d never admit it, but she really does want one too.

Lylith: Did you figure out where you went wrong?
Lylli: Yes, I remember now thanks to a little help from Alice. I trusted a dragon disguised as a human in Universe 564-B.
Lylith: You’re being sent back out there again as a different person this time. Ilyesa thinks there’s something very important hiding there.
Lylli: Can you please sneak in some signs to make things go a little smoother this time? I really don’t want to get cooked to a crisp and eaten again.
Lylith: No.
Alice: Look, I know you’re having a rough time with your missions because you keep dying in weird ways. However, you’ve got to keep going back until you can gather enough information for Ilyesa.
Lylli: That’s a little hard when I have to keep learning a new universe’s rules all over again. Not to mention the fact that I can’t remember anything about who I really am when I reach most places. And then, just when I think I’m understanding the world, I get killed. Why can’t you or Lylith go in my place for once?
Alice: I wish I could go in your place. It used to be my job, in fact. I’d get into all kinds of crazy trouble and I had a blast! However, Lylith and I have been told to stay put until she gets back and gives us more instructions. We’ll both keep watching over you from here until then.
Lylli: There was fire everywhere! My face felt like it was…ugh. I remember crawling to try and get away. It all goes dark after that.
Alice: I’m sorry to say that your so-called boyfriend set you on fire and ate you. It was pretty gross.
Lylli: And you just sat here and watched me get eaten? You didn’t think to try and stop him?
Alice: You’re new to this, but you’re not that new. You should know the rules by now. I cannot intervene no matter how I might feel. All I can do is observe.
Lylli: We eventually moved in together. He was a great cook and everything he made was delicious.
Alice: Do you remember the last dish he made you?
Lylli: Of course I remember! It was Mapo Tofu with pork!….Wait a second! Oh my god!
Alice: So you finally remember now, do you?
Lylli: Once we had started dating, he would take me to all these cool places I had never heard of before. He also knew exactly what to say to make me melt like butter.
Alice: Uh huh. And you never suspected anything? You never saw the signs that you might be in trouble?
Lylli: Suspect him of what, exactly? What are you talking about? He treated me like a princess!
Alice: Okay, then. Keep telling me how you remember it.
Lylli: *sigh* Okay. So anyways, we dated for about four months.
Lylli: I don’t remember what happened to me. Why won’t you just tell me?
Alice: It’s more beneficial for you to try and re-trace your steps. You can remember more than you think and it will help you when you go back. Trust me.
Lylli: Um…It was just another day like any other. I remember sitting by my favourite fountain. It was the one near the cafe I went to every evening.
Alice: And…?
Lylli: And then I saw him. He was the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
Dear Diary,
I’ve been making a living a few different ways. I’ve been applying my skills I’ve learned from blogging to manage a social media site. I’m just a clickbait writer right now, so I’ve also been selling paintings in marketplaces. I’ll even hold a bake sale once in a while, but my baking skills aren’t that great yet. During the weekends, when I’m really short on cash, I help out at my cousin Quince’s cafe.
Yes, Quince Smith owns his own cafe! I’m so proud of him! I never thought he had the work ethic or business knowledge to run his own place. I’m glad he proved me wrong because it’s very inspiring. It gives me hope that one day I might be able to open up my own bar. I really want to create a cozy community place that features local art all over the walls.
