She wanted to cry.

But of course, she couldn't.  Her dear friend since childhood wouldn't want her to cry.  Her friend would want her to smile.

But why was it so hard?

Her friend had been gone for so long, she thought her friend was dead.

And then suddenly, her friend shows up again.

It was as if her friend never left in the first place.

Or so everyone else thought.

Everyone thought that this person was the missing little girl that used to play with her best friend.  Everyone thought they found a missing child.  Everyone thought everything was okay.

But she knew, she knew very well...

That this strange creature wasn't her dear friend at all.

Because she had found her friend's body years ago.

And her dear friend was definitely not alive.
