"Do i.... know you?" she asked hesitantly, looking around warily.

"W.... what?" he wasn't sure if he heard right "W-what do you mean? I-it's me, Techno... don't you... remember me?" he asked, starting to walk towards her again, causing her to back away, scared by his large size.

"N-no, i-i-i don't. P-please don't c-come closer" she begged in a shaky voice, eyeing the corridor on her right and thinking about escaping.

"Why?" his eyes widened as a thought came to his mind "Was it Dream again?" he clenched his fists hard "Did he do this to you!? I'll make him pay!" he angrily spat out, scaring her enough to convince her mind to escape, so she did, running down the corridor on her left, not daring to look back.

"Wait!" Techno started to chase after her, not wanting to lose her again "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you!" he shouted, he was much faster than her and would have soon caught up to her if she hadn't turned left and enter a room, temporarily disappearing from his sight. He dashed inside the room, stopping upon seeing that Sally, Wilbur and Phil were there as well.

He desperately looked around for Angela, finding her hiding behind a girl he didn't recognize.

"H-hannah i-i-i'm scared, t-this p-person i-is scary. C-c-can we g-go home p-please?" she begged in a shaky voice, her whole body trembling in fear. Hannah looked at her friend and then back at Techno, glaring at him, the vines around her arm growing some thorns.

"Everyone please calm down, let's not act too hastily" Wilbur tried to mediate the situation, placing himself in front of them "Let's just calm down and talk about this rationally, we are all here to help Angela"

"This doesn't look like help to me" Hannah angrily spat out, still actively glaring at Techno "This looks more of a threat"

"Please, let us explai-"

"What the hell is going on here?!" Techno shouted, tired of being ignored, making Angela flinch and causing her to tightening the grip on Hannah's shirt.

"Who is this person?! What happened to Angela?! Why doesn't she remember me!?" he shouted angrily, walking closer to them and causing Hannah to tense up, her vines growing in size, wrapping around Angela protectively.

"Back off" she warned but Techno drew his sword, not slowing down "Move out of my way, or i'll make a way myself" he threatened, lifting his blade to cut the vines, but just as he was about to hit them, Phil stepped in, his sword connecting with Techno's deflecting it.

"Phil what the hell are you doing?!"

"There something going on here Techno, violence is not the answer this time! Can't you see you're just scaring her more?!" he shouted back, Techno looked over him, seeing that Angela was now crying. He felt his heart constrict, causing him to drop his sword.

"I... i didn't... i would never...." he placed a hand on his shoulder "I know you would never hurt her, please just listen to what king Wilbur has to say" he weakly nodded, him and Phil taking a few steps back, making Hannah retract her vines a bit, the majority of them still surrounding her and Angela, just in case they tried anything funny.

"This is going to be a long day..." Wilbur said with a sigh.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After they all calmed down, Wilbur brought them in a large room with some chairs for them to sit in. They all sat in groups, Techno close to Phil, Wilbur with Sally and Angela with Hannah. Phil noticed that before Angela sat down Hannah patted the chair, it seemed weird but he didn't gave too much thought into it.

"So..." Wilbur started, catching everyone's attention "Let's start slowly and steadily ok? Hannah, could you tell us how you found Angela?" he politely asked, Techno could see that Angela shrunk a bit in her seat when she heard him call her by her name.

"I found her wander around aimlessly in the forest near a lake close by, she didn't remember anything, not even her own name, so i gave her a temporary one" she smiled, looking at her and Angela smiled back "I called her Veronica, since she seemed to like the flowers of Veronica Persica so much" Angela chuckled a bit "I really liked that name" she mumbled a bit embarrassed.

"That was when?"

"About two months ago, she had been living with me ever since"

"Why didn't you come here sooner then?" Techno angrily asked, making Angela flinch a bit, Hannah noticed and placed a hand ontop of hers, calming her down.

"Because i didn't knew she was related to you, she didn't tell me anything about her past either because she didn't remember or didn't want to tell me, so i didn't ask" she calmly answered, shooting him a glare.

The servants came to serve some tea, they were about to give a cup to Angela when Hannah intercepted it "I got it" she took the cup and handed it down to Angela, who apply took it, Phil noticed it again, there was clearly something going on here, but he couldn't quite pin point what it was.

"Angela" Sally softly called, she didn't react right away, not being used to be called with that name "Can you tell us what you remember?" she was a bit hesitant at first "It's ok, you can talk to them, they are friends" Hannah glared at Techno again "At least some of them" Angela nodded, taking in a shaky breath.

"W-well... i-i remember feeling a-a strong pain in m-my chest... a-and then it felt cold... so cold... i remember someone... i-i can't remember their f-faces but... they seemed v-very sad... i-i don't know why..."

"What is the oldest memory you can recall?" Phil asked, Angela thought about it for a while before answering "A rose..." her answer surprised everyone.

"A rose?" she nodded "A white rose... i don't know where or when but... i can remember it clearly for some reason" she mumbled, Techno's eyes widened in realization, he remembered that flower, she was very attached to it, so attached that she even gave it a name. Phil told him that she planted it under her window almost an year back, there's a good chance that is was still there.

"I know where that flower is!" he said excitedly, making everyone jump "It's in my kingdom, i can show it to you" she cowered away a bit when he raised his voice, still very scared of him after his the first impression he gave her.

"I don't think she wants to come anywhere near you buddy" Hannah pointed out, placing a protective arm in front of her, earning a glare from Techno.

"Alright everyone, let's not fight please" Sally asked, clapping her hands, making them settle down with a scoff.

"But it would be better if she stayed either here or at the Antarctic Empire, just in case Dream has any other tricks up his sleeve" Phil pointed out, Hannah raised a confused eyebrow.

"Who is this Dream?" she asked, confused "He's the guy who erased her memory" Techno angrily spat out.

"It's safer for her to stay close to us, so he can't hurt her" Phil finished "I agree with you Philza" Wilbur added, looking at Angela "But we can't force her to stay if she doesn't want to"

"Hurt? Hold on.... you still... oh no..." Hannah sighed, realizing what they meant "You still don't know do you?" she received a confused look by everyone "What do you mean?" she took in a deep breath "You" she pointed at Phil "Shake her hand" she ordered.

Phil was very confused but obliged, bringing his hand forward and waiting for Angela to take it, she hesitantly looked at her friend who nodded in approval. She extended her hand and Phil went to grab it.

But he passed right through it.

"What?" he tried again, and again. No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't seem to get a hold to her hand.

"She's...." Wilbur started, Hannah nodded "A ghost, just like me"
