"This is the first time we've been allowed to talk about what's coming before it happens. But I'm sure someone must have."
It wasn't so far beyond belief. Not everyone would be satisfied with their current life, or have been gifted with a true self that had lived through unsettling experiences. It was a relief to be herself now, after the fact, but surely another must have experienced that same relief simply by learning there was more to their existence than what they currently had.
Reimi had to believe that, just like she had to believe that her companion was telling the truth now. Without it all the hardship they'd endured up until now would have been in vain.
"That's good, though. The stronger your heart is, the easier the transition will be."
She'd hesitated, that first time. Her body had sensed the awful future waiting for her and rebelled, pushing her to ignore that urge until the last possible moment. No one, not even Reimi, could blame Emily for such a reaction. But she didn't want another person to feel what she had that night.
