Memphis left Hoshito the same day her rank was discovered. She bid farewell to Cassius and the other girls who had treated her like a sister, yet she didn't shed a tear. Sasha and even the tsundere Aya teared up, but she did not. It wasn't that she didn't care or had turned into an emotionless robot; it was just that she had a new goal in mind that she had to achieve no matter what.
All Gates in the world would permanently disappear, and she would be the one to make it happen. This was what she vowed to herself. Emotions would have to be put on the backburner.
After taking one long and hard look at Cassius, Memphis bit her lips and held back what she wanted to say. She couldn't even bring herself to look him in the eyes right now, let alone confess her feelings to him and tell him how she'd pay him back for everything he had done for her.
The truth was that they lived in two different worlds. At least, that was how Memphis saw it.
