My Reverse Life

Darkness... as far as I can see. Why did father... that old man betray me?. Why do I feel this is not the first time?. Did someone betray me in my previous life?. Does my past life father betray me?. No that's not right, he didn't betray me. He just... becomes a waste. In the same way, I become a waste. Did my mother betray me for killing me?. No, her action is justified. I let her into despair without ever doing anything.

My biggest regret is my previous life. If I can go back in time instead of reincarnating in an alternative world, I would try to reverse it and made my mother the happiest woman ever to live. Now, I was given the chance for a second life. I try to act differently, I try a different path. But aren't I just walking into the same path without realizing it?. All I have done so far is only fulfill my selfish desire. There's is no Reverse Life that I wish for. Why do I care if people saw me as a man instead of a woman?. Why does this trivial thing bother me?. Was that the reason for my father to take extreme measures?. Or is it for a petty reason after I just beat him in his own office?. He said he hide everything from me to protect me. Yet his current action is far from protecting me. I don't understand him!.

'A scum like him should have died...'

No... even if I hate him. He is still my father.

'He is an obstacle for our goal to achieve the reality we desire...'

That old man loves me. He just didn't know how to convey it.

'Why you are so stubborn and finding an excuse for his wrongdoing?'

There is no way he does all of that without reason.

'You really are pathetic... I give you a chance to change your mind. But you waste it... now sleep forever. I'll take care of everything from now on.'

My consciousness slowly fade. And...

...

...

...

...

"My only regret is to let you take control. Despite being part of myself, you have become your own person with your own thinking. You only have yourself to blame for being disobedient." I said as I look at the last bit of consciousness in my hand.

Time to wake up. But I still need to pretend. I waste too much energy just to awaken myself up.

Slowly, my consciousness back to my body. I open my eyes and see the witch, Emilia fighting the esper.

"Aria are you alright?!..." I hear the familiar voice.

"I am okay... Carol. How are you here?." I ask.

I have my guess but, let's just hear her reason.

"I... I was in the mall before the lockdown announcement. I heard a fight outside so I approach and see it." Said Carol.

"You didn't go to the safe bunker and instead approach a fight?." I said while frowning.

"I...I am also an esper." Said Carol.

She didn't have the talent to be a liar. My other self is too dumb for being deceived by her.
