[ Lakiya ]
Such a deep-rooted pain, leaving the one she loved, the one Layla loved, behind. She felt empty, as if she had left her heart behind, behind at the ESF, with Zane. Layla was always there now, plaguing her mind with angry accusations, enraged that the clone of herself had done such a thing to the one she still loved, even after death. Lakiya still hadn't told anyone about the ghost that haunted her, though she had no doubt there would be few who would actually believe this. She didn't hang around people much, barely able to keep herself composed around them for long. As a High Agent, she dutifully attended Ribbons briefings, took part in the missions she was assigned to, without fail. But she seemed more robotic as of late, barely even eating nowadays. Always, she held the pendant of the necklace Zane had given her, thoughts of him all but consuming her mind, making it difficult to concentrate in battle, leading her to be defeated and, more often than not, rather badly injured.
