1943 vs. 2011:
Noshiko stopped herself from taking another step; she noticed the young girl that Kira had just invited into their home. The young girl looked exactly like someone Noshiko had known while in the internment camp -- she was one of the nurses who had been instrumental in helping with what happened to Rhys.
Even though Noshiko knew there was no way she survived after what she did to seal Rhys’ fate, she couldn’t stop her name from forming on her lips.
“Evel--”
“Mom, this is Sophia.” Kira spoke over her mom, neither one of the girls realizing Noshiko had spoken. Kira gestured to the teenager next to her who turned to look at Noshiko with a warm smile.
“Hi!” Sophia warmly said, stepping forward and sticking a hand out, “Nice to meet you.”
Noshiko forced a smile on her face, hoping it was enough to hide the pain behind her eyes as she stepped up to meet Sophia. Her gut was right -- there was no way Evelyn had survived that night, but Noshiko still wondered how the teenager looked like a mirror image of her.
