Closure [Closed]
Now was about the time that Cassie would go to the Sensoriums, call up her old house that she lived in with her father, have Stacy bring up a holographic of her father, and spend all her hours locked away. Except she wasn't. She wasn't even on her way there. Instead she was walking around the statuary, looking from monument to monument for one familiar face.
After being trapped inside an illusion based off of her home, going to the Sensoriums would just be... creepy. That mother who had been her mother but wasn't really. Her friends who weren't really her friends. Blake...
...Well, Blake really hadn't been all that different.
She still didn't know why the Nightmare King showed her images of her former life. She still didn't know why it worked. Maybe she was just weak.
"Ah, I knew you'd be here." After some searching in the City, Cassie stopped in front of her father's statue, hidden amongst the rest. "Not that you're really here but you're- not really anywhere I guess. You probably can't even heart this." She brushed back her hair. "I- I really hope you're in the pods somewhere but- but- I can't keep going like this. I need to- I need to say goodbye. I keep saying I have but I really..." Cassie sighed.
"I love you, Daddy. And I miss you. I wish you could see him. I've done so many stupid things. You'd be so mad at me but I think-" She took a deep breath. "I think you'd also be proud of me. You used to tell me I could get through anything. That I was tough. I'm not- I've really wanted to give up. I really have but I can't. There's always someone who needs me, someone I can't let down. And whenever I think I can't get through it I think..." Her voice cracked and she gasped. "I think about you and how you had so much faith in me, even when you shouldn't have." She wiped the tears from her face. "I just want you to know-" A pause as she held back a strangled sob. "I know you'd love me no matter what but I'm going to- I'm going to work hard. I'm going to make myself something worthy to be proud of. And if you're not in the pods, or if I'm not here when you wake up- we'll still be together. I just need to wait a little longer." She pressed her hand against the statue. "Goodbye."
