Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 626 - I warned you
...***...
"The fate will change again?" repeat Louis.
"The Rei you brought will be stuck in the past, and Rei in the future with you will be known to die people. Arguably, the people in his native time would assume Rei died in that time, while the people in the past where you brought him would assume that he was the real Rei. And fate will be exchanged between Rei who is in the past, with Rei who is in the future."
Rei silently bowed with tightly clenched hands. Maybe he's selfish, but he just wants to stay with Rei. Without him, Louis would only be a soulless spirit.
"I don't care. I'll do it at any risk! I just want to be with Rei longer."
"I told you, it doesn't mean that by bringing Rei from the future, he'll remember you. Besides, you know, if you change her body, she'll be a different Rei. His body, will remain the same as the last time he died. He would have the power that Rei had when he died, and it could have just made him die. And again, I won't be able to protect and take care of her because she has blood. Even when you bring them here and change their positions, their DNA will be the same, but still. The blood flowing in his body had changed due to time. So I won't be able to take care of her."
Louis is still in a state of disbelief. Every utterance from the old man seemed to explain that indeed everything he would later do was forbidden.
"I know you're lost, Rei. But maybe it's time you tried to take it off."
"Maybe you'll think I'm selfish. But just so you know, I can't let it go like this. I can't just let Rei die. Not only did I think about myself, but I also thought about Elvina and William. Think about the people who have always loved and cared for him. People who are always trying to make her happy. I can't let them experience the same thing as me. I can't possibly do that. I don't want to make them sad, especially I promised myself to always take care of the three of them and make sure they're always together."
"It's the only way to keep my own promise."
"I've warned you, but there seems to be no point in banning you. You won't listen to my words, will you?"
Louis remained silent without a word.
For a long time things turned quiet. Not a word came from their lips, until the old man gave up and decided to accept every decision Louis made.
At least, he had already warned Louis about every decision he would later make.
"Once again I stress, I warned you. Next, you take responsibility for the consequences yourself. I have to go, my time is up."
"Well, thank you for explaining everything to me. You're accusing me of worrying about me. I'll take whatever the risk is."
The old man just sighed. Before long his body began to turn into a speck of light which then disappeared along with his increasingly high movements towards the sky there.
