Lost Me Gained Regret

Last time, after finding out about my origins, things ended on a sour note.

So, when Bella called me up and broached the topic herself, I was taken aback. After a brief hesitation, I replied truthfully, "It was a pendant, a rabbit pendant, the same as my zodiac sign." On the other end, Bella seemed to perk up, "A rabbit pendant?!"

"Yes."

I confirmed, and then shared the backstory, "I've had that pendant since I was little. Two years ago, I had an accident, and that's when the pendant went missing."

Curious, I asked, "Ms. Taylor, why are you suddenly asking about this?"

"..."

Bella seemed to be calming herself, searching for the right words. Finally, she asked, "Do you have time right now? There's something I'd like to discuss with you in person."

"...Yes."

I thought about it and agreed.

Somehow, I had a feeling that what Bella wanted to discuss was deeply connected to me.

Bella cautiously asked, "Where do you live? Can I come over, if that's alright?"

"Ah?"

I was taken aback again and quickly said, "That's fine, I'm at Elmwood Villas, though it's a bit less private than Cloud Villas. Maybe I should come to you instead?"
