Chapter 631: Something felt strange last night.

[Dear Me,

This is PROBABLY the last time you will hear from me. Sucks. Well, I don't have anything else to say. You and I... we will never be better. We'll never get better. It'll always be like this. I'll always be here within you, lingering, waiting for the moment to come out.

But I don't want to come out.

I've seen my life, and it's better with just one of us in it. Now that I say this, it sounds a little strange, doesn't it? Anyway, I did pat you on the back. Good job, me. Congratulations on being happy, on this second life, and on being you.

Promise me that in this life, you'll live a long life filled with happy memories with all the people who mattered and those who cared about you. I'm writing this because... you know why. I don't want to be sentimental anymore. I've had a good life, a life I would never complain about.

Cherish it.

This life is something you prayed for. Do not forget that. So, don't mishandle it.

**P.S.** Take care of MY husband. I am someone you don't want to become, someone you tried not to be. If that's the case, then take care of him and protect him at all costs because... the moment something bad happens to him, you'll become me again. That I am certain of.

Always here,

Your demon.]

Penny couldn't help but chuckle as she read the email she sent herself last night. Although she had an idea of this email even before she checked it, a lot had happened last night, and she almost forgot what was said here.

"I guess... we're both happy now," she whispered to herself, smiling. "I'm glad."

Penny heaved a sigh of relief as she leaned back. She was all alone in the room because her parents and Haines had to go home. Slater drove them, promising they would be back before she knew it. As for Hugo, he dropped by that morning but still had to visit the station for updates. He was very hands-on with the matter.

Atlas stayed for a while and then stepped out to make a phone call. The same was true for Zoren. Although she was certain her husband and first brother weren't out just to make a phone call, Penny was left alone to rest.

"I'm not better," she whispered to herself, lifting her eyes to the ceiling. "I know that she's always going to be there."

But she also knew that it wouldn't be the same anymore. Now, Penny didn't have to drink just to appease her other self.

"Though last night..." Penny touched her cheek, hissing. "I'm... surprisingly still used to it."
