What's the problem here?
A Jane Doe, about the age of 7 to 10.
She doesn't have any identification on her and a blood sample is being taken to find the possible parents of this child.
Jesus Christ, what happened to this young one? She is… I-I don't even want to say it.
Is she even alive?
Barely, but if we don't do anything, she WIll be dead.
Right, let's get started.
…
.

.

[I hear voices.
Voices of strangers.
I don't recognize those voices.
They're new to me.
Where am I?
Why can I hear voices?
They're echoing… like an empty room.
An empty room that's been empty for a very long time.]
…
[I'm making such weird quotes…
I should look around and see where I am exactly.
I can't see anything or feel anything.
It's like everything is invisible, including me.
I feel like I don't exist, even though I feel my throat vibrating.
I can feel it but I'm not sure where but I am speaking somehow.]
…
[You know, how about let's talk about something else?]
[Hmm, sure. I'd love to change the topic.]
…
[Yua: Huh? Those voices. The masochist and desperate for a girlfriend? Those two, where are they?
…
Yua opens her eyes and she looks at herself and sees she is a ghost.
A surprise, but a welcomed one by Yua.
She tried touching her own hands but it just went through.
…
[Yua: I'm a ghost… That means I died, and here I thought a ray of sunshine could shine away my problems, but the earth turned dark, and night took over and allowed my death.]
…
[Joseph: Hm… how about we talk about that little brat, Yua?]
[Madelyn: Yua? What about her?]
With her name now being mentioned, Yua floats to the two of them and it seems like they're watching that game show they always watch together.
…
Yua tried waving to them, but it appears they're not noticing her.
She tries screaming to their ears but to no avail.
After trying two times. She's convinced that she really is a ghost, and this must be a memory, a nostalgic one at the least.
Her siblings are already dead. There is no way this is happening in real time right now. Right…?
…
[Joseph: Let's talk about our conversation with her, eh, I'll start.]
[Madelyn: Well… Go ahead.]
[Yua: They're talking about me talking to them? This should be something to hear.
I don't remember something like this happening before.]
Yua floats down to the carpet floor and listens and awaits what the both of them think about a brat like her.
Joseph continues to watch the game show that's playing on the tv and his eyes are locked to it.
It took a few 5 seconds before he finally gives an answer, his voice tells hesitation, but he makes it hidden to her sister.
[Joseph: It sucks to be honest. Liam mentioned something about Yua being socially awkward and she's distant from us, well sometimes.
I didn't believe in his shinegenas at first, but seeing it in person throughout these months of interaction with Yua, I can say that Liam was right.
Yua is a brat, and she doesn't know how to talk to people, but she does know how to when it comes to annoying everyone.]
Yua stays quiet. Despite all this, negativity is one of the things Yua is already used to and she didn't give a comment since most of what he said is actually factual.
Even if she was here right now, she would just feel guilty about it, but at the same time angry for rubbing it in.
She looks to Madelyn, who seems to be thinking and gathering all the memories between Yua and Madelyn, although…
Yua doesn't remember talking to Madelyn, not even once, not unless Yua comes and teases Mad for being a masochist.
[Joseph: How about you, Mad?
What do you think of that lil' s**t head?]
…
[Madelyn: … Well… I'm not good at "putting the pieces together" but I think we're pretty okay.]
[Yua: Huh?]
[Joseph: *yawn* Really huh? How so?]
Madelyn looks around, making sure her other siblings don't hear this, it's a surprising one she must've kept, but to make sure they're not eavesdropping on them…
[Madelyn: Melanie, your boyfriend is at the door! And Liam, Joseph said you're stupid!]
[Joseph: Wha- What was that for??]
…
[Madelyn: … sorry, I'm just checking if they're somewhere near us, but looks like they're asleep.]
[Joseph: Jeez couldn't you find a better call out? Anyways, just spit it out. You're getting along with Yua, yeah? We usually don't get along with her, so how is she with you?]
Madelyn sits on the couch, making sure she's comfy and she looks at the game show, but then turns her eyes to Joseph who is still watching the show.
[Madelyn: Well, she's not very good at communication, yes. But I did talk to her about something… a doll she likes, and she kept talking about it for like minutes and even reached an hour.
That counts as a conversation, right?]
[Joseph: You talk, person talks equals conversation. That's what I know.]
[Madelyn: I guess that counts as a conversation then. You see… Yua isn't a bad kid for me.
She's pretty nice once you get close with her.
It's pretty hard, and I'm still not in that relationship with Yua yet, but I can feel like she's comfortable- y-you know. Letting it all out on me. She sometimes swears at me.]
[Joseph: Uhm, I understand if that was a great memory for you, b-but I'm asking if both of you had a normal conversation, y-you know, without masochism…?]
…
[Madelyn: … I'm afraid not.]
…
Both of them quietly continue to watch the show they're watching as Yua after looking at this time…
This must be where she's finally home from school when her dad forgot to pick her up.
Yua peaks her head outside the house and an endless void is met upon her.
There was nothing but darkness.
…
*!
[Yua: T-there I am! I'm walking on nothing somehow, but I'm walking still!]
Yua floats to herself who is wearing a pink raincoat.
The saddened and angered Yua stops at the doorstep and looks at it with disgust painted all over her face.
…
[Why do I even bother living here…]
Yua opened the door and walked in, closing it from behind.
[Joseph: What's the password?]
…
[Yua: Grr! Do none of you care for me at all?! All of you forgot to pick me up! I had to walk! School was over 6 hours ago!!]
[Joseph: Oh it's you, there's meatloaf in the fridge. Microwave it if you like.]
[Yua: W-what?? f**k that meatloaf! Are you both even listening to me??]
…
Joseph sighs as he looks to Yua, who looks to be in distress and angry.
But Joseph is too tired to even see.
[Joseph: Uh, yeah. There's meat loaf or whatever, just stop whining okay? Your whining might break someone's ear drums here, just go and eat you little brat.]
He turns back to the game show with no pity or sincere regret about what he just said.
[Be glad you're being fed here.]
…
Without a word Yua walks to the kitchen which Joseph finally sighs in relief and continues his watch on the television, but for Madelyn…
Concern starts to wrap her like a tight box about to be given as a Christmas gift, but only to be opened to see not happiness, but disappointment and despair, as he looks to his brother and pats his shoulder in which he looks with an eyebrow raised.
[Madelyn: Uhm, hey d-don’t you think that was a bit too harsh for, you know, a kid?]
[Joseph: She deserves it, doesn’t matter what she thinks, she probably doesn’t even care.]
Hearing this, it’s the same as before, Yua is starting to get irritated.
Why is she here, why is she seeing this?
Is she in hell?
Is the devil punshinging Yua, and for a warm up it’s going to show bad memories that Yua doesn’t get to see?
It’s almost very funny, but Yua already knew it from the beginning, ever since she started to change.
She knew she would be sent in a horrible place if she was to proceed like this, maybe it’s right for Yua to be like this for the entirety…
…
Madelyn sighs as he gets up from the couch, in which his brother asks.
[Where are you going?]
Madelyn looks at him and just puts her hand on his head and lays him down on the couch.
[I’m going to bed, make sure to not stay up until morning, and make sure you get a good sleep, okay?]
…
Joseph smirks and puts Madelyn’s hand away.
[Aight, I got you. You have a great sleep sis.]
With Joseph knowing, Madelyn goes upstairs, where the ghost Yua watches her go up, but Madelyn’s stomach rumbles, which can be even heard by ghost Yua.
Madelyn goes to the kitchen, but then stops when she hears Yua talking.
[Madelyn: ...Yua?]
Madelyn decides to listen in.
The ghost Yua was a bit confused on why Madelyn is over there.
She remembers this day, Madelyn does go in the kitchen to grab something to eat, but why is she hiding behind the wall?
Ghost Yua doesn’t remember what the other Yua is talking about, but for her sake she decides not to listen in as to prevent bad memories she might be already over with.
…
Curiosity gets over her, so she decides to float in the kitchen and sees herself just looking at the assignments the school has given her while she is ranting.
[Stupid Joseph, Stupid Liam, Stupid everyone! Why don’t you all wanna talk to me…
I’m trying as hard as I can to get your attention, but why are you all ignoring me…]
*hic
[It’s been like this ever since I was 4, even my own parents don't talk to me because they’re “BUSY.” What a stupid excuse to avoid saying that you don’t love your daughter. Both of you have done nothing to cheer me up! I hate both of you!!!]
The Yua on the chair throws the papers down, following her bag as she smashes her head against the table before screaming out loud in stress.
[Yua!! I can hear you young lady! If you do that one more time, I will come there and teach you a lesson!]
[Yua: Shut up!! Shut up!!]
Unexpectedly, Madelyn comes in which Yua saw.
…
Madelyn gives a nervous smile and a weak wave but Yua just turns away where she takes her despair to herself.
The father was about to come downstairs, but sees Madelyn over to the kitchen, which looks like Madelyn has this and he goes back downstairs, giving Yua another chance.
…
[Madelyn: Y...Yua. I- uhm. Heard you, and uhm-…]
…
As quiet as ever, Madelyn assumes Yua is in that state where she doesn’t wanna talk, which Mdaelyn quickly shut her own mouth and just walks to the fridge.
It’s silent…
…
Madelyn opens the fridge and looks for something to eat.
The microwave dinged so Yua pushes the mini stairs to the oven and she starts walking up to the microwave, Madelyn takes a peak and sees Yua has tears in her eyes, but her eyes keep her look as angry.
…
Ghost Yua starts to get sucked by a force, she would like to stay now that she’s seeing this, but it is too late as she is sucked to nothing…
*!
Yua wakes up and looks around, but sees that she is still a ghostly figure.
As expected…
Yua floats and looks around, wondering what could this memory of hers offer?
She sees it’s the park, and in the distant, Ghost Yua sees her family near a long bench.
She remembers this as she floats to them.
[Liam: Ow! What the f**k! Who threw that f*****g soccerball?!]
Melanie points to the kids that were just playing until they accidently hit Liam, but his overreaction gets to him as he gets up and gets the soccer and tries to throw it at their faces, but they scatter in horror, but Liam without revenge, is a disappointment to him so he runs to the kids, trying to hit them with the ball.
Joseph immediately goes after him to stop him.
The Yua that was sitting alone far away wonders what the hell Liam is doing with a soccer ball and why are kids running away with Joseph screaming out to Liam to stop.
It’s a bizarre thing that Yua always expects whenever they go on a family picnic, or is it even a family picnic? Yua doesn’t feel like sitting near all of them, they probably-
*!
…
Yua looks to who sat next to her, which turns out to be the big boobed mckenzie Madelyn.
…
Madelyn gives Yua a sandwich with a friendly but nervous smile.
…
Yua looks at the sandwich and to her.
…
An awkward stare down has begun, and both glare at each other's eyes, until one blinks.
…
A minute later, both blinked, but they assumed no one had blinked so this goes on for another minute.
…
Yua groans, giving in as she takes the sandwich and looks away.
…
Madelyn is really willing to talk to Yua, but in this situation again, it looks like Yua isn’t ready to talk, so she just gets up and walks back to the picnic spot.
…
Madelyn stops to look at Yua once more and sees that she’s eating it, which reliefs her as she runs back, but hears Joseph calling for her to help him stop Liam, so he quickly runs to him.
…
The Ghost Yua looks at herself, and sees herself looking at Madelyn, but she shakes her head and continues to eat the sandwich.
This Yua didn’t realize why her sister gave something to someone like her, but the ghost Yua now realizes why.
Lost in words, she doesn’t know what to say now.
She wants to talk to Madelyn, but now… she’s dead… and Yua is also dead…
And probably in hell…
Everything disappeared and a black void was now around Yua.
Confused she looks around, she almost can’t see anything, but a light shines upon her.
She looks up and sees the light, a warm light that has the aura of welcoming someone, and someone like Yua feels it’s warmth despite her ghostly self.
The sunlight offers peace for this little child it seems, and Yua's mind is puzzled on why this is happening, but if the skies offer her a chance she's not going to complain.
…
…
Yua decides to look up and float up to the light, the closer she gets, the brighter the light becomes…
