The first rays of dawn approached quietly, scattering the light from the sun on the surface of the sea, as well as expelling the darkness of the past.
Under the gradually brightening sky, Lacus sat quietly on a chair, facing the morning breeze that blew in from the window. She lowered her head and looked at the little face that had fallen into a deep sleep.
That pink, messy hair that resembled a bird's nest.
That haggard, thin, and frail little face.
It was almost identical to the face that Lacus had seen countless times in the mirror.
Yes.
That was her own face when she was twelve years old.
"You …"
Lacus' gaze gradually wavered. She subconsciously reached out her right hand, attempting to touch the face that was once so familiar, yet so real.
But before she could touch the haggard little face, she was startled by a knock on the door.
"It's me. Kai. Audrey, are you still awake? "
Lacus' gaze wavered a few times, but she still slowly retracted her hand, stood up, and opened the door for Ray Mingkai.
"I'm still awake. Kai, you haven't rested yet? I heard from Luo that the two of you seemed to have gone through a battle. "
Lacus looked at Ray Mingkai, who had a hint of fatigue on his face, and could not help but ask.
Ray Mingkai shook his head slightly and glanced at Lacus who also had a tired look.
"No. That's not important. When I was training in the military academy, this was just a small matter. But I'm a little worried about you. "
"Me?"
Lacus was stunned for a moment, but she immediately understood.
"Are you afraid that I'll be affected?"
Before Ray Mingkai could answer, Lacus continued.
"Actually, when we were in Scandinavia, I suspected that you were hiding something from me. Is this what you're hiding from me? "
Lacus' intuition was undoubtedly sharp.
"Yes, and no."
Ray Mingkai did not deny it, but he did not admit it either.
"I'm just worried about you."
"Worried about me?"
When Lacus heard Ray Mingkai's words, she immediately revealed a helpless, almost bitter smile.
"Yes! No matter who it is, when they learn that multiple clones of themselves have been cloned without their knowledge, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as a scream, right? "
"But you looked at her calmly and accepted her."
After Ray Mingkai personally sent "her" back to her and confessed some things, Lacus calmly accepted "her" and gave up her room to let "her" rest.
"I …"
Lacus opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to explain the situation.
"I just don't want her to sleep in the living room like this. Moreover, judging from the wounds on her body, she must have been tortured, right?"
Ray Mingkai's gaze went past Lux and landed on the bed that was gradually being bathed in the morning light.
"She is just one of the many clones. Other than her, there was only one Ke, no, the Imprinted Man, who was still alive. The rest had probably been destroyed. When we attacked that island, the only thing we could save was her and some information. "
Ray Mingkai retracted his gaze from the bed and made eye contact with Lacus.
"Among the information, I found traces of another 'her' being sent to PLANT."
"Another 'her'?"
Is the truth unfolding just like that?
Lacus didn't expect that the Silver Wind incident was actually planned by another 'her' and the mastermind behind the creation of 'her'.
"Then, my name, my identity, my family, and my father were all taken by another 'me'?"
As Lacus's voice was filled with grief and indignation, light flowed, and her pink hair fluttered in the wind at the moment the sun rose from the east. The true face of Lacus Klein was gradually occupied by grief and indignation.
Her pure and flawless eyes were also occupied by a light that was unclear whether it was hatred or not.
"Just like that, without my knowledge, I was cloned and made into countless copies of myself. Then, they took my name? My voice? My identity? My family? Is my father dead? "
Ray Mingkai was speechless under Lacus's grief and indignation.
He didn't know what to say or how to comfort her.
In the course of history, Lacus Klein was bound to meet the girl who disguised herself as her through superb plastic surgery. But at that time, Lacus Klein had already experienced the destruction of her family due to her father's death. She was the Lacus Klein who had grown up after the First Great War.
Now, the Lacus Klein standing in front of him was a girl who hadn't experienced most of the events in the original course of history.
Furthermore, the early arrival of 'her' was a heavy blow to this Lacus Klein who had yet to grow up.
Ray Mingkai's silence made Lacus smile sadly.
As her skirt fluttered, Lacus took a few steps back and returned to the bedside. She lowered her head to look at the sleeping 'her'.
"I don't know what to do. Kay. "
Lacus gradually lowered her body and slowly reached out her hand to touch the thin and frail face that was almost identical to hers.
"She's probably Lux Klein! Looking at this face that I've seen countless times in the mirror, I can't help but have this thought. "
"No."
Ray Mingkai's footsteps gradually sounded.
He came to Lux's side and lowered his gaze to look at Lux's face that was almost identical to "her".
"I know. The real Lacus Klein isn't in PLANT, but here, beside me, in front of me! "
With that said, Lei Mingkai looked at "her" thin face, then looked up at the sky that was about to be occupied by light, and looked at the sky where the funnel-shaped colonial satellite that was considered ominous by the Earth Alliance was located.
"She, and the 'her' in PLANT are just clones of Lacus Klein."
"No."
Lacus shook her head.
"They aren't clones."
Lacus put down her hand, turned back to look at Ray Mingkai, and smiled gently.
"They aren't clones, nor are they anyone's props. They're just a life that was unlucky enough to be born in this world. That's all. Kay. "
"Lacus."
Lacus' words shocked Ray Mingkai.
He never thought that Lux would say something like that.
With these words, Ray Mingkai had already guessed how Lacus would treat 'her', as well as the 'her' in the sky who had taken the name Lacus Klein.
"Kay. Let me bring her back! "
Lacus composed herself, stood up, looked at Ray Mingkai, and softly made this request.
"Aren't you afraid of causing unnecessary trouble?"
The appearance of 'her' had already made Lund Mina Sahak suspicious.
Ray Mingkai had reason to believe that the special forces that participated in the attack on the island would definitely report to Lund Mina Sahak after the mission ended.
"No, that won't happen. Kay. I believe that Lund Mina Sahak will make the right choice. Moreover … "
Lacus' gaze once again fell on the thin and frail face. Ray Mingkai knew what she meant very well.
At the end of the attack on the island, the special forces had indeed brought back some information and evidence.
Under the influence of the information and evidence, Lund Mina Sahak would probably fall into a state of paranoia.
Just imagine.
Unknowingly, the people around her were secretly swapped out by an Imprint controlled by an unknown faction. Even she herself could be swapped out and replaced with someone who knew nothing about the Imprint and still believed herself to be the true self. What kind of terrifying scene would that be?!
"Lacus. That's her name. "
As the morning sun shone on that thin face, Lux gently caressed her and softly gave her a name that belonged to her.
"Welcome, Sir! My … sister. "

"Harrow! Harrow! Harrow! "
The familiar voice came from afar.
Kira, who had yet to get out of bed, knew that this was the signal that the noisy Harrow was about to arrive.
Moreover, accompanying the noisy Harrow was a young girl who looked like an angel descending to the mortal world.
Her name was Lacus Klein.
A young girl with a voice like the sound of nature.
Every time she softly sang, Kira would always feel as if she had come to a pure, undisturbed, and harmless heaven. She was deeply captivated by her voice.
Lacus Klein.
She was a beautiful and pure angel.
It was just that she had a fiancé.
And that fiancé was actually a friend that Kira had met when they were young and then separated. After a long period of time, they met again by chance, Aslan Sara.
Under this relationship, Kira hesitated and shrank back.
But fortunately, Kira was still in a heavily injured state. That cowering appearance only made the angel-like young girl misunderstand that it was because she was afraid of pulling on her wound.
This misunderstanding made Kira heave a sigh of relief, but also made Kira's heart gradually fill with a pent-up anger that was difficult to relieve.
"You're awake. Kira. Come! This is today's breakfast! "
When "she" pushed a small dining cart and appeared from the side path, she looked at Kira, who was already able to sit alone on the bed, in pleasant surprise.
"En. Thank you! Miss Lacus. "
Kira slightly raised her gaze and glanced at "her" pleasantly surprised face. Then, she quickly lowered her gaze, afraid that the angel-like young girl in front of her would see through her.
"That's not right! Kira. My name is Lacus Klein. I'm not some Miss Lacus! You can just call me by my name! "
"She" pushed the dining cart to the side of the bed and said somewhat angrily.
At the same time, the Harrods, who had been following "her" movements, began to clamor even louder.
"Harrow! Apologize! Harrow! Apologize! "
Perhaps it was because she was afraid that "she" would be angered.
Or perhaps the noisy Harrow scared Kira.
Kira hurriedly lowered her head and wanted to apologize. But unexpectedly, due to her sudden movement, she accidentally lost her balance and fell straight to the floor.
"Aiya! Be careful! "
The floor was right in front of her, but Kira, who couldn't exert much strength due to her injuries, was about to fall heavily to the ground when she was saved by a gentle embrace.
"Aiya! Be careful! Kira, your injuries haven't healed yet! Are you hurt anywhere? "
The fragrance that gradually calmed Kira's impetuous heart.
The voice that gradually calmed Kira, who fell into a dilemma due to her identity,
Became Kira's comfort at this moment.
"Thank you! I'm fine. Lacus, can you help me back to the bed? "
Kira seemed to be trying hard to calm her heart. After taking a few deep breaths, she said in a seemingly calm manner.
"Mm, okay. Please be more careful! Please tell me immediately if you feel uncomfortable anywhere! I'll get the doctor to come right away. "
"She" gently helped Kira back to the bed and gently smoothed the messy quilt for her.
Looking at her gentle and moving appearance, Kira gradually became a little dazed.
But Kira forced herself to stay awake.
"Right! What's breakfast today? I'm a little hungry. "
"Ah la! Are you hungry? Kira. It just so happens that Miranda personally made some snacks in the morning. You can try. "
Looking at the girl who took out the dazzling snacks from the dining cart as if she was presenting a treasure, a gentle smile gradually appeared on Kira's face.
However, this scene was seen by someone standing in the villa next to them.
"Test subject LH033's movement data is normal. It basically matches the gene provider's original life path, movement path, and even the fluctuations of her thoughts are almost the same. At the same time, in the gene provider's field of expertise, she also displayed the same high level of talent. "
"In yesterday's experimental performance, the 853 audience members present did not discover any abnormalities. They were all mesmerized by the singing of test subject LH033."
"Combining the results of many days of observation data, LH033 has already reached the standard required by MISE.E, and even slightly surpassed the gene provider in the field of singing."
Miya stood by the window and looked down at the room that was made of high-strength transparent glass on all four sides as she listened to the continuous data reports and the results of various observations.
The man and woman inside were so harmonious, so friendly.
But it was also because of this that Miya's hand on the window gradually tightened.
"So, when Aslan was not paying attention, you betrayed Aslan like this! Lacus Klein!! "
"Pa!"
Under the gaze of the experimenters around her, the edge of the window frame made of ironwood was forcibly crushed by Mia.
"The observation ends here! Let LH033 begin the plan! From now on, her name is Lacus Klein! "
