Nikki's been hit hardest from the recent events. She'd only just lost Kyra *to the new RP! ^o^* and now she's been made to learn that she's had a sister this entire time, a sister who had died and been trapped in such an awful place for years, made to do the Via Infinito's bidding as a deranged unsent. This post sorts through it all for Nikki.

And what better way to sort through things going on in your head than by beating it out of your other half? xD The battle against the Shadow Nikki serves as both a revelation for Nikki, as well as, further explanation as to what the two Emis are. So going back to what I'd said last time, the Emi with Mishka at present is the pyreflies of the true Emi that the Via Infinito could not control. They separated these pyreflies and locked them away while manipulating the negative pyreflies that they could control. Of course, Nikki's situation is a bit different. Her shadow had been created by Sanika through the use of telepathy. They're more the negative memories which can be stored in pyreflies that harnessed the pyreflies in the Via Infinito to create the Shadow Nikki. Nikki had originally suppressed the memories that comprise her shadow so Sanika was able to access and subsequently draw them out into a metaphysical manifestation. However, once the Shadow Nikki was formed, the negative emotion allowed the Via Infinito to creep in.

Once she had herself sorted out, she and her shadow were able to finally reunite, which restored all of Nikki's memories.
