Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 629 - Scenes & bitter memories

"Wait for me," Rei said as he chased after one of those who continued to run between the magnitude of the storm.
Although Louis could feel the storm very clearly, it was different with Rei and the others. They are not affected by the surrounding conditions.
Louis was still trying hard to get close to the boy. But for some reason, his body seemed to be moving in a slow fashion. Making it should take more time to get to where Rei is.
On the other hand, Louis saw Rei stop running.
Elvina and the others seemed to just vanish, just like her mother who had also disappeared somewhere.
Rei fell silent as he looked at a boy five years older than him. He looked at the boy.
The boy stood in a position behind him.
"Sister!" Rei smiled wryly as he realized who he saw. "Me and the others are playing chases, let's play together…"
Bruk!
The boy turned around and immediately pushed Rei's body to the ground in the sand. Rai was shocked by what he had just done.
The boy looked at Rei with an annoyed look on his face.
"I don't want to play with you! I hate you. Because you, mom and dad love you more than me?!"
"Sister…"
"Better you've never been in this world!" The boy turned around and stepped leaving Rei alone.
Rei sat down while crying.
These memories.Louis felt his chest grow tight. He saw the boy sitting there alone crying.
The more Louis struggled to step up, the greater the sandstorm he faced. But that didn't make Louis give up. He struggled to get close to the boy.
He had to save Rei, and take him away from this place.
"How many times have you said, don't play?!"
The scene changed again. Louis saw Rei who was getting bigger again. Now he looks like an eight or nine year old.
Every scene changed and every memory of Rei changed, Louis increasingly felt his chest tight. He also saw the expression on Rei's face that was getting sadder and moody.
Bruk!
Louis fell back. He looked up and looked at Rei who was now like a Junior High. He stood alone with his head bowed and his face gloomy.
Louis looked at the boy's back. From where he was, Louis could see an aura of loneliness from him. Not only could he see, even Louis could sense that the aura was getting more and more concentrated. A sign that Rei has fallen too deeply into that loneliness.
Her tears are getting harder.
Mister.., hang in. I'll set you free…
I'm not gonna let you feel any of that again…
Louis got up in limp. He started running towards Rei. With great difficulty, Louis braved all the storms that confronted him until he finally managed to arrive where Rei was.
Grep's!
Louis hugged Rei from behind. The child who was downcast while crying could only be quiet as soon as Louis hugged him.
"I managed to catch you…"
"Calm down, I'm here. I will free you from all this suffering." he muttered in tears.
