Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 198 - Believe me

Rei looked at Elvina fixedly. Both of her eyes were teary hearing the words from Elvina that really made her feel relieved. He was relieved that it turned out that Elvina really cared about him.
"Thank you for believing in me."
"We're cousins, and we should trust each other."
Rei nodded slowly, agreeing with his words. "Alright, you better go home. It's been very late afternoon. If you come home late, Aunt Isyana will be angry. Moreover, you didn't contact him at all, did you?"
"Yes. Then I'll go home." Rei got up. He grabbed his school bag.
Elvina got up, wanted to take her to the front door. Just as Rei and Elvina took a few steps, William went down to meet the two of them.
"You're going home now?" asked William as soon as they arrived the man looked fresher after bathing and changing his clothes.
"Yes, I have to go home. It's late afternoon."
"Be careful on the road."
"Yes, then I'll say goodbye."
"Thank you for helping us today" Elvina said.
Rei just nodded slowly. They then went to the front door and separated there.
Rei drove his motorcycle away from Elvina's house. Go home to his house.
Days change. It's been almost a week since that incident.
Elvina and William continue to be the target of Joe who keeps trying to catch them and bring them back to the lab, and whenever they are in danger, Rei is always there to help them.
On that side, Melinda suddenly did not carry out her duties like before. The woman devised another plan so that she could focus more on the work given by the professor.
Melinda no longer showed her face to Elvina or William. It just disappeared without a trace. Instead, they instead had to continue dealing with Joe.
Meanwhile, Rei's life at school is also not too quiet.
Rei always stuck with Lucia. Whether he had any problems, the girl was so sensitive when dealing with him. He was very angry, often speaking in a loud voice, and sniffling. Especially with himself.
Rei was curious about her. Because the girl's reaction was always excessive when she was with him.
Not only with Lucia, Rei also had to continue meeting with a group of people he had met in the cafeteria.
Those people were also again talking about things that his brain could not digest at all. It made Rei astonished as well as curious at the intent of every word that was thrown from their mouths. In fact, they often laugh after talking to him, after which his emotions become unstable.
This afternoon. Rei sat at his desk which was located near the exit. While the English teacher was explaining the lesson in front of the class, it was different with Rei who was now pensive in his place.
Rei could not focus at all on the lessons of the day. His gaze was repeatedly fixed on the window beside him. Staring at some students who were exercising in the field.
Rei sighed slowly. Again his mind was filled with various questions about every problem he was facing.
What really happened to me to the point that it made me not be able to remember a single bit about my past? Why can't I remember anything, and why am I still in this position?
