"...I'm sorry to hear that, Hitomi," Sharon heard Rick's voice echo in her head. Everything went black around her and she struggled to stay awake, but even as she did, that word, that name, kept bouncing around her mind, Hitomi... Hitomi... and it sounded more familiar with each second. Also with each second, her memories began to fade away, draining out of her head like water down a drain.
Katsumi and Ayane both watched transfixed as Sharon was wrapped in an egg of black light with blue sparks. Because the distance involved was so much less, there were no massive reality ripples with Sharon's change. After a few moments more it was over.
Where Sharon had been, now stood a girl looking 16 years old. The girl stood maybe 5' 3" with brown hair falling straight halfway down her back. Clear blue eyes opened with just the mearest hint of a slant. A jean-jacket appeared across the back of one chair, as the girl put her hand to her head. She couldn't remember anything, something about another girl somewhere...? She struggled feeling incredibly slow, her head stuffed with cotton. Then... My name... my name is Hitomi she remember. Everything started clearing in her mind and she noticed Ayane, Katsumi and Rick all in the room.
"Ayane, Katsumi, what's going on here?" Hitomi asked.
