That night Sophia felt restless and had difficulty sleeping, as she struggled to sleep just like every other night, however, that night she was more tense than usual but she couldn't understand why, although she couldn't really remember the last time she didn't struggle to sleep at night since she always struggle to sleep.
Every night not only did she find it hard to sleep every time, but even if she eventually managed to force herself to sleep she would always get nightmares of the bad things that had occured in her life but then she didn't really care as she was already used to it, and if she wasn't sleeping she would be having a conversation with her other half she was the only friend she had ever had before she met Bernard.
However, this night she felt it was completely different from the rest, she couldn't understand how and why but she just had a strange feeling about it, to the very point where for the first time in her life she felt a strange sense of sadness out of nowhere, lately, this feeling became more and more intense.

Sophia furrowed her brows when she saw this before she closed her eyes once more but this time she wasn't sleeping but was now in a completely different place a white room.
In this white, a girl could be seen spotting on a plain white dress sitting on the floor with her hands wrapped around her knees, while her eyes stare at a particular place in the room with great interest, just then someone else appeared in the room this person had the same appearance as the girl who was sitting on the floor, however in comparison to the girl sitting on the floor, this person who a much colder and emotionless look in her eyes and expression.
This person was none other than Sophia, every time she struggled to sleep she would appear in this room with nothing else to do other than to have a seemingly endless conversation with the plain clothe girl.
And this time was no different, when Sophia appeared seemingly from nowhere the girl who had been sitting on the floor turned her head to look at Sophia, with a soft smile on her expression, in the white room the two of them stared at each other for a while before the stalemate broke apart with the girl sitting on the floor turning her face away from Sophia.
However, Sophia didn't seem to mind and simply went to sit near the girl and join her by staring at the exact place she had been staring at all this while. Besides them, there was a single white empty chair at the center of the white room, at this moment none of them were in the mood to sit on the chair or even argue over who was supposed to.
For now, they just continued with the silence and acted as if no one was there. They didn't find it awkward and simply enjoyed the silence in the room but that was only because no one felt like talking, or rather they already knew why the other person was there. Eventually, the girl who had been sitting on the floor broke her eyes off the place she had been staring at and looked at Sophia, with a small smile on her expression.
"For you to be here, I guess you are having one of those nightmares again right? What was like it this time, was it one of those nightmares where we were abandoned on an unknown planet by Father for us to fend for ourselves, or was it one of those nightmares where we almost died from starvation?"
The girl said all these with a sarcastic smile on her face, while Sophia just kept quiet eventually she turn to look at her other half and looked at those clear ash eyes, as Sophia looked within her eyes she could tell although her other half seemed like she was mocking her from the way she sounded and from the look on her expression.

"I know what you are thinking about, I also know it isn't one of those nightmares you usually have just from the little sad look on your expression it must be something different, something related to that person, what is his name again Bernard Cat right?
"Urgh, I guess the dude is pretty lucky to have somehow managed to charm our little cold-hearted ice beauty, Sophia. To be honest, isn't it really pitiful having all these feelings and burying them down, and not letting the person know about it, I know about the foreboding and I know what you truly fear, I also felt the same way as well for the first time in our life we felt sadness in a very long time, which is unusual if my guess is correct Bernard might very likely has met his maker."
As Sophia heard these words her eyelids fluttered for a while, and the sadness she had been trying to hide under her cold and emotionless expression became apparent until it returned to normal, however, she didn't say anything and simply kept quiet.
She knew what her other half clearly meant, she wasn't spouting nonsense or just to make a mockery of her, rather was simply telling the truth she just didn't want to accept it although she didn't want to admit it and had been doing everything she could not to accept this dreading truth, something might very well had happened to Bernard on the planet.
Sophia kept silent for a while longer, and opened her mouth and was about to say something that was when she felt someone tug slightly on her arm, as this happened she knew Anna was likely awake and noticed something was wrong, so she simply stood up stared at a particular place in the white room for some time before turning her eyes to look at her other half.
However, her other half didn't bother to look at her when Sophia saw this she didn't say anything else as well and disappeared from the white room immediately as Sophia left a single teardrop stream down from the other half who was sitting on the floor, but unlike Sophia, she didn't bother to wipe it away and simply just let it fall down freely with a smile on her expression.
