“In any case…keep alive…for me…please…”

“you won’t be blamed. I know there are some reasons. Yes, I know.”

“Nobody wants that.”

“I’m sorry. Goodbye.”

“Pong…”

“NO! …”

Morris can’t believe what happened at that time. The memories…are very scaring. He cried for his incompetent. He’s cry for that is countless.

There is a good start in the morning. The sun is so warm. Morris open his eyes, touching his face with sigh.

“I cried again last night…I’m shamed on me…”

Morris held his face and said, with self-depreciation.

Hamo has been dead for three years. His death is about all of humans, but Morris don’t think. Morris believes there are other ways to deal with the case.

After thinking, Morris decided to eat breakfast. When he walked into the kitchen, he found a note on the desk, saying “Come to Diff Café after school. I have some words to say. -by Sara Vineyard.”

“What will she want to say…” Morris had no idea.

Actually, Sara is also the related person of that case. To say exactly, she is the core of the case. She takes care of Morris after Hamo’s death, so she has the key of Morris’s house.

After breakfast, Morris went to school. Walking on the road, he found a strange machine at Sara’s yard.

After school, Morris left to Diff Café. Actually, Morris was thinking what Sara would say, so he didn’t Listen the teachers carefully. Sara is very special. She is not only a scientist but also a magician. Generally, the science and the magic are conflicted, but she can control both of them. Only few people know her secret, which includes Morris and Hamo.

Morris got into Diff Café, watched around and finally found Sara on the sit beside the window. Morris skipped the “hello” and said, “Now, what will you say or ask?”. Sara knows his anger. She changed to the serious face and say, “Are you sad for that case?”

“That’s right! …I hate myself and want to die when I dream it…I can’t stand any more…”

“Well, if you had a chance to restart, would you like to try?” Sara smile to Morris and say.

“What you mean…”

“Hamo is still alive. Do you believe?”

“What? Hamo?  … What do you say about that? What do you mean? He has been already dead for three years! Now you tell me he’s still alive? Are you kidding me?”

Morris said excitedly and hit the desk again and again.

“Calm down and listen to me. Although he’s body is dead in the world, I try to transfer his mind to another world and succeed. In that world, he matches a new body and keep alive. But there’s a cost that he lost some memories, including the moment that he was dying. Fortunately, he still remembers you. He said he missed you.”

“…”

“You can get into the world by the same way, but you will pay the cost, not only the memories. At the meantime, you will get some advantages. So, if you had a change, would you?”

“I…”, Morris can’t make the decision and said, “Maybe, I can’t face him any more…His death, is my fault…”

“I don’t think so. He saved all of us with his life. He knows the consequence. He is also happy to help us, which is the happiest moment for him. Don’t blame yourself.”

“Well…I know. I decide to meet him now. Hamo is my brother. We are together forever.”

“OK. Get to my home at 7:00pm. You can bring something but excluding clothes.”

“Why?”

“Anyway, prepare for yourself. That’s All.”

With some confusion, Morris leave to his house. There’s no doubt that Sara’s words are true, because Morris had seen something peculiar that happened on her—Morris think so. In the meantime, Sara think: It’s time to act.

Morris arrived home. He just brought one thing: smartphone.

At 7:00pm, Morris turned off the electric and water brake. He went to the yard next door, which is Sara’s. The strange machine is still at the yard, and Sara stand by the machine.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes, I think so.”

“I will go with you for ensuring your safety. There may be a lot of difficulties there. Have you really made your decision?”

“Yes. I won’t run away anymore. This time, I will take care of him.”

“OK. I will go if you arrive there safely. Don’t worry. It’s a successful machine.”

Morris entered the machine, and wear a gear with many wires. Suddenly, it was pitch-black before his eyes. And, become unconscious…
