>???: Follow the path you know. It's your only chance. No point in hiding if your body gets stolen.



There is no point in hesitating, either she's on the right path or she isn't. She follows the stream.

Why do you *look* like that...??"
"It was all a façade! I told you! I told you all and you called me crazy!"
"Now that this world is done with us, it doesn’t need to pretend anymore!"
"This is what they've always been!"
"Everything's as it's always been. Pretence was never involved."

Good luck!

What do you suppose the name on the card will be?

==>> Enter name.
