Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 19 - Reasons

"Good morning" William said as soon as he arrived at the dining room. Elvina, who was pouring milk into a glass in her hand, turned her head with a smile.
"Again," he said. Elvina closed the fridge door as soon as she finished putting the bottle back in. He walked up to the dining table and put the glass in his hand onto the table which had been decorated by some tempting-looking dishes.
"Today's breakfast looks so good, I want breakfast soon." William glinted at him.
"You need to be patient for a moment. Let's wait for Rei to wake up. We eat with him." Elvina took off the apron that covered her white shirt.
Elvina already looks very neat with a long-sleeved white shirt folded up to the elbow. The bottom was inserted into a short black skirt that formed her slender body. Elvina tied her hair one back. Make the real tomboy woman look beautiful and feminine.
"Why hasn't he woken up at this hour?" Elvina stared at the pink clock that was coiling on her wrist. It's enough noon. Unusually, Rei woke up at this sesiang hour.
The Rei that Elvina knew a year ago was Rei who always woke up before six in the morning. Before the cock crowed, and before himself was busy with work at home.
"It's possible that he's exhausted, so he wakes up a little late" William said.
"It seems so…"
"Oh, yeah. By the way, why didn't you speak truthfully to Rei, about the question last night?" William suddenly opened the conversation. Ever since the question Rei asked last night, William kept thinking about what he said. The question of the man who became his cousin continued to ring in his mind.
Elvina turned to look at her sister who was standing while leaning on the chair she used to sit in.
"I don't think we can get Rei back that fast. Moreover, you know for yourself the reason why Rei disappeared a year ago. If we bring him back now, I'm afraid Aunt scolded him again and triggered his memory. If his memory returns, Rei may leave again."
"Then what are you gonna do? There's no way we can keep him here, right? Rei will definitely keep asking and asking us to drive him home."
"We're waiting for the right time until he's really ready to meet his family."
"Agha!!!"
Rei jerks. His breath was stinged with sweat pouring down his forehead. His face turned deathly pale.
Rei's awake. Sitting on the bed with one hand holding his head that hurt.
Rei tried to catch his irregular breathing. "That dream again." said Rei, lowering his head. The dream came again. Strange dreams that always make his head hurt when he opens his eyes.
Rei rubbed his sweaty forehead. Rei's focus then switched when the sound of knocking on the door heard him. Simultaneously, Rei heard the voice of Elvina calling his name.
"Rei? Are you awake?"
"Yes. What's up?"
"Let's have breakfast. I've prepared food for breakfast."
"good. I'll be there as soon as I wash my face."
"Then I and Will wait downstairs."
Elvina went down to the first floor to wait for Rei to finish washing his face.
Rei wakes up from his place, trying to stop thinking about his dream. He decided to go to the bathroom and wash his face before going down to meet Elvina and William for breakfast.
