Under the pitch-black night sky, there was still a bright light shining every once in a while, but it was neither the light from the moon nor electricity, but the light from the huge flame that was now scorching everything. Especially this village built from wood.
both sides of the road Chaos with firefighters They are helping to use fire hoses to slow down the fire and not prevent it from interfering with the rescue efforts of the fighters in yellow uniforms. who are risking their lives for all victims Amidst the cries of hundreds of victims still waiting for help in the unstable rubble.
The lander ran through the flames. Among the wooden houses that were leaning and ready to collapse at any moment. He reached out to Mabel, who was holding her child in the middle of a wall of fire, all around him were pieces of wood that would collapse at any moment. “Hold on, Mabel, just take a step,” Lander said. with a trembling voice
Just a little more, just get out of that wall and we'll be able to go back again. But then everything got worse. When a piece of wood fell on Mabel, she fell. The flames continued to pile up and he couldn't stop them. Mabel looked at Lander as she stretched out her arms to hand the child to him through tears.
“Please, Lander, please protect this child.” The young man in the yellow leotard did not answer. He picked up the baby with both hands and forced himself to run out of the house with tears in his eyes.
He couldn't help his tears streaming down his cheeks. The bitter feeling that arose in my heart and the stuff in my chest burned so much that my heart almost broke. And who can forget this?
At the small dining table of a warm father and son family
Inside the dining room of a quiet private home The atmosphere was quiet and suitable for conversation at the dining table, where there were only a young girl and a father-son uncle. They are using utensils to put food on the table. Causing the sound of the gang of cutlery rubbing against each other until a loud noise was heard all around. And then the girl started to get bored.
“Dad, how was work yesterday?” Lily asked, not even wanting to know the answer. She just wanted to break the oppressive quiet.
“Well, in general,” her father gave only a short answer with an expressionless expression on his face. Which couldn't be helped because her father had always been like this. Even though he occasionally showed emotion, it couldn't be said that it was similar to a normal person. It is said that he was nicknamed the dead-faced goldfish ever since he was a child.
Lily didn't know if it was true or not because she hadn't even met her father in the first place. She only knew that her father was like this from the first time they met.
“Well, Dad, I think it's good for you to take a break from work. It would be better to go outside and get some fresh air than to stare at the computer screen until your eyes hurt.” Lily asked with concern. It's a pity that her father doesn't understand that connection at all.
“It's okay. Dad can still go. Besides, during this time, Dad is free. By the way, how is your father's condition? Is it better like Furball's?”
“Not yet. The symptoms are still the same. Oh, I played with such intensity. Do you want the doctor to put his foot on your forehead?”
"Uh, would you please apologize to him?"
"cannot"
Tell me a little bit about it.
Lily is a child who has had special powers since birth. She has a special ability to see the special threads of each person. It can tell the personality of its owner, from age, personality, mood, attitude, just by observing its color and shape, not just people. Animals are fine, but they were a bit difficult to see when you were a child.
At her house there is a chubby, fluffy Pomeranian dog named Furball. She plays with him regularly. One day, while Father was sleeping, Lily came in and said that the dog was dying. Her father was confused and wondered if it was true or not. So I took him to the animal hospital and found that
It was poisoned and if it had come a little later. This dog must have returned to the Dog Planet. Once Furball's condition improved, his lifeline returned to normal. Father believed in the power she had. Or maybe this was a divine blessing that she received from God to liberate mankind? She didn't use it for anything special anyway.
And recently, Miss Lily saw that Father's lifeline was not in good condition. From experience, it can be said that the father's lifespan is no more than 2 years if he cannot fix it. Since then, she has been coming home more and more often. Until the school break came, so she took the opportunity to come back and stay in the old house. And let's start looking for the cause. But if you can't find the cause, at least She will be with her father until the last moment even though he is not her real father.
“Or maybe it has something to do with that,” he mused, alone.
“Which matter?”
“Um, that was a long time ago.” He looked like he was thinking about something. Lily's eyes widened and she reached forward.
“Can you tell me?” He thought for a moment before finally opening his mouth.
“At first I thought I would just bury this matter with you, but when I thought that it might not last long, I thought it might be better if I told you about it,” Lily frowned in response. with doubt What is the matter that Father is keeping?
“Lily, do you know that before you adopted me? Dad used to have friends before.” Lily nodded, understanding the matter of her being adopted by her father, but not knowing anything about her father having friends before. Wait, has your father ever had friends? This question popped up in Lily's head.
When Father finished speaking, he picked up the picture frame that was on the sofa for me to look at. It was an old picture of her father from high school that had been there for as long as she could remember, but he didn't talk much about the past and she didn't really care.
“Well, I saw The man in the picture? Please help me bring him to my father.” Lily swallowed hard. To find someone? I'm an ordinary person. But my father is a detective who took on the job of looking for this person. But even if Lily thinks so, she must listen first.
“This person's name is Pop, his real name is Drul Sangdara, and he is a close friend of his father. They have been close since childhood. You're the second friend in my life after Mabel.” After saying that, he reached out and picked up the picture that was on the side table. Because Dad gave me a picture frame. Lily took it with both hands.
It looks like a picture taken by friends. Inside the picture was a picture of three people standing in a row, all holding up two fingers with a smiling expression. It looked as if the picture had been taken at an amusement park. In the background, there were rides attached. The person in the middle was a petite woman with a round face. Wearing your hair in a bob with bangs looks cute. Split by two men who, on the right side, are tall and large men.
From the looks of his legs, I think he's a bit tall so he had to tear off the lower part of his leg that the photo doesn't capture. Really pitiful As for the person standing on the left side It will be a slender man with an annoying face. No matter what angle you look at, this is clearly your father. When you were satisfied with the look, you put the picture aside and picked up your phone to take a photo. It was then that Dad started to get into the issue.
"I want to see that thing. Can you go find it for me?" At the sound of her father's voice, Lily's heart nearly screamed.
“Eh, this kind of thing, Dad can make it himself. You really don't need to ask for help from me when it comes to finding people, isn't your father number one?" But as soon as he heard that, he kissed his own mouth.
“No, Lily, this is different. Anyway, Dad, I'd rather you find out yourself.”
It's better to know for yourself. Is it about you yourself? Or is it actually a human test subject that escaped from the lab? Or is it true that we are aliens? Light thoughts with the little boy raced through her mind before she shook them off with nonsense.
Lily placed the picture on the table. before nodding exhaustedly, “Yes.”
“I trust you, Lily. I hope that if fate really exists, I will find it. I believe that when heaven gave me magical eyes, it must have meaning.”
“I understand.”
After dinner, she went back to her room, with questions in her head: What was Father thinking? She fell onto the bed in boredom. My father's former friend who never once told me about him. I don't know in what mood, so I'm telling you exactly what. But it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.
Lily was racking her brain to think about what people who used to be friends had to do to keep their eyes on each other and to the point where they couldn't communicate. For us to be able to break up with our friends, how big of a deal must it be? Lily got up from the bed and circled the room imagining things about love?
No, Dad never had love. As for money, well, maybe yes. But my father borrowed money from other people, no matter how poor he was, if it wasn't to the point of death, there was no way. As I thought about it, a word popped into my head: life? Her father had no history of DUI. never hurt anyone Never embarrass anyone Always be a good person with kindness and morality.
How could someone like this make other people's lives go haywire? Thinking like that, I started to wonder. But then she remembered Wait, did your father used to be a rescue worker before or did he do something wrong? But the job of being a firefighter means having a life that you can't help. Or will it be a mistake?
Thinking about it makes my head heavy. No matter where she turned, she couldn't find an answer. But from the looks of it, it must be related to the firefighting profession.
Haha, I'm really smart like this. It wouldn't be bad if I became a detective. Lily sneered inwardly. Thinking of a career as a firefighter, she immediately thought of one person. P'Mew just took the firefighting exam. Plus, we haven't talked to him in a long time. Well, it wouldn't be too bad to meet each other. After that, Lily immediately called to make an appointment with Brother Mew. The other end of the phone answered that it was OK.
In the middle of a city that is full of chaos
Tide
capital of
Flood
A lowland country located in the center of the island. It is the center of chaos, where people from every city have to flock into the middle of the city. This district fire station was built about 30 years ago and has a large moat in front. All around were tall brick walls filled with ancient traces.
This fire station was the fire station her father had also worked at before.
Lily was standing here waiting to talk to a senior she hadn't seen in a long time. Lily arrived in front of the fire station on foot because it was located not too far from her house. Her senior appointment was at 9:00 a.m., but she arrived almost 10 minutes too early, so she picked up a book and read to pass the time.
Today is Mew's rest day and she is about to be released from her schedule today. Before he could finish his thought, a familiar voice sounded. When he turned his head, he saw a teenage girl in a blue uniform with a familiar looking face. It made Lily feel incredibly at ease.
"Lily, I haven't seen you in a long time." The owner of the voice ran up and hugged Lily with a smile on her face. Lily hugged her with nostalgia. Mew is Lily's senior. She knows each other because she is one of the people Lander helped save from a big arson many years ago. which sparked a little dream for a little girl until she could be where she is today
The two of them chatted casually. Until finally he started to get to the point.
“So Lily came to see you because she had something to do, right? What's the matter?" Mew leaned over and asked with a questioning look in his eyes.
“Um, I would like you to find information about the fire incident that happened when my father was working.”
"Why do you want to know, Lily? Before, I really didn't care." Mew trailed off before smiling wide and mysteriously. The look in his eyes changed to a teasing, animalistic look.
“Or Lily. Are you interested in this profession?” Lily blushed with embarrassment.
Mew has had this mischievous personality since childhood. Every time Lily or seemed interested in something Mew knew well. But when Lily refused, she always regretted it. She always liked to tease Lily. What's the matter? I'm not really interested in this job at all. But when asked like this, it makes me feel really embarrassed.
“No, sir, I just want to know what my father has done.” Lily refused, looking embarrassed. How shameful is that? But after hearing the content, she immediately stopped playing and changed to a serious expression.
“Lily's father, oh, Mr. Lander, right? All right, then I'll tell you about it. I remember Mr. Lander's story very well.” Mew then began to tell the story with sparkling eyes.
“Lander, he worked about 17 years ago because of that.
Center
Arson problems were quite common at the fire station during that time, so work was very busy. That year, from what I've seen from his history, it looks like he did big jobs about 3 times. He was born in the Pruksa housing estate. plastic surgery hospital

And Condo 8, even though two of the three are now new buildings. Those arsonists really just won't give up. Why do things like this? Even now, I still haven't been able to catch any of them. But it's still good that the incidents have decreased until now there aren't any big fires like that. Eh.
Let's talk about Lander. I'm sorry, I'll tell you now."
“Lander is a rescuer, always risking his life to save people inside. Really brave. When I was a kid, he even saved me once. It was really cool. From that moment on, the image in my head engraved the word rescue team into my heart. I realized that I had always wanted to be a firefighter. Even though the road was a bit difficult, I finally made it. Plus it's really enough to come.
It won't be like the picture I had in my head, haha.” She laughed dryly.
“So, Lily, do you want to know anything else?”
“Mew, have you ever seen this person?” Lily pulled out her phone and showed the picture to Mew. Mew raised her eyebrows and looked at Lily suspiciously.
“I'm just looking for someone. I assumed it was related to the fire, so I came to ask you. “Then Lily sent the picture to Mew.
“This is Pop, real name Drul Saengdara, my father's best friend from high school. Will you know me?”
Mew rolled her eyes and considered the picture carefully. She looked and looked again. It seems like I'm still not sure.
“The one on the right side?” Lily nodded.
“I'm not familiar with it. never seen before I wonder if I won't be able to work in this area.”
“Then it's okay. Thank you, P'Mew. You're really kind.” Mew just laughed dryly.
“Haha, not that much.”
“Then I'm going back today. I will send the information to you online. Take care of yourself, Aunt Lily.” Lily waved back.
Okay, now we've got the goal. Lily sat down at a park to go over all the information.
Condo 8 and plastic surgery hospital

Places that have been targeted by terrorist attacks in the past Currently it has been repaired, but Pruksa Housing Estate It has not been repaired yet. So let's go check out the housing development first. An old place which is located in the middle of the city.
Tide
It used to be an old landmark because the village's appearance was built based on the style of old wooden houses with beautiful patterns and designs. Combined with modern concrete houses that are strong and comfortable, it creates a new village with this amazing idea. Until it has become a popular tourist attraction here. which at that time was considered very excellent. Unfortunately, when 17
Last year, there was a major arson incident. Until this area was left with only remains.
Just as Lily was thinking, Lily's instincts kicked in. Lily looked left and right to find the source of that feeling. There was a man crouching down and walking towards Lily. The man was dressed like a large, intimidating middle-aged tourist. There is a prominent mole at the corner of the eye. He was crouching down and walking towards him as if he was holding a picture of something.
Even though he shrank in size in an attempt to reduce his fear, that didn't make Lily feel that this man was any less frightening. The longer he stayed, the more terrifying he became. When Lily strained her eyes to see the lifeline It was enough to know that this man was harmless, so she breathed a sigh of relief. When he noticed that Lily was aware
He stood up and stared intently at Lily while alternating between looking at the thing in his hand. He stared at Lily, alternating with what was in his hand. It made Lily feel suspicious. But Lily acted kindly and asked directly.
“Uh, is there something wrong with me?” Those words snapped him out of his trance. As soon as he came to his senses, he immediately turned away and apologized.
“Sorry, it wouldn't feel good if a girl was stared at, right? ” His eyebrows dropped and he lowered his head and apologized repeatedly.
"That's right. So what are you doing? Are you looking at me alternating with the same picture over and over again?" He made a sad face. Before telling the reason
“I just happened to think that she looked like my wife, even though she had a little bit of a wound, but she looked the same. I looked too much, I'm sorry. ” Finished speaking, he handed the picture in his hand to Lily with a regretful expression.
Lily looked at the picture the man had sent her and it was a photo of a young woman holding a baby with a round face and brown bob. When Lily saw his face, he was shocked. Because the face of the person in the picture was similar to her face and the face of the woman in the picture that Father had shown me. to be sure
Lily reached into her bag and immediately opened her phone to compare the pictures. Really with the same person. No matter what angle you look at The people in these two pictures are definitely the same person. And how can she look like these two?
“Uncle, what is this woman's name?” He was startled when he heard Lily speak. But as soon as he regained his composure His eyes lit up with hope.
“Uh, Pusadee Saengdara, do you know her too?”
“I don't know. But I'm looking for someone related to her.”
"Really? So do you know anything about her?"
"I don't know, but who is Uncle?"
"Uh, I'm sorry I did something rude, Uncle Note."
“Uncle Note?” Lily thought for a moment.
"So, Uncle Note, would you like to go to a coffee shop?"
At a large coffee shop in a shopping mall The highlight is a circular dome decorated in the ancient style of Rome. Inside, there is a flower garden surrounding it. Inside, there were people crowded together. Some drank coffee, some chatted. The ancient and beautiful atmosphere of Rome combined with the atmosphere of nature. This makes this place an extremely expensive coffee shop. Currently, Lily and that uncle were sitting next to the outside area of the shop because the surrounding view was of a flower garden inside that looked beautiful and gave an equally good atmosphere.
“Starting to get to the point. From what Uncle said, has Uncle Note lost his memory?” It seems that this man named Uncle Note has been working abroad for 10 years. Lily asked with wide eyes as she leaned closer with curiosity. Wanting to see it made Uncle nervous.
“Yes, the doctor told me that I lost my memory 17 years ago from the shock of the house fire. wife died The daughter disappeared. That made me have to start a new life. My wife's family has never met me and I don't know where they are. It's like I don't have any relatives on my side. So I came out to live alone with my wife.
I was lucky enough to be able to work part-time to survive, during which time I felt very insecure. It always feels like someone is stalking me. I lived like that until I couldn't stand it and had to save up money and struggle until I could travel abroad. And I planned to stay there until I died, but unfortunately my heart wanted to meet someone I didn't know that I had only seen in the last picture, so I traveled back and then met you here. That's me. So I was careless.”
“Is that so?” Looking at it, it seemed rather sad. If one day you wake up with no memories left There is no one next to me. And still being stalked, no matter how I listen to it, it's clearly a nightmare. After he finished speaking, there was silence as if there was nothing to continue talking about.
“So, do you know anything about the person in this picture?” After saying that, she picked up his picture.
“Um, from what Father has told me, it seems like your name is Mabel.”
“Mabel? Do you have friends from school?”
“Yes, there are mainly two people. As in the picture.” Lily showed him the picture on her phone. He looked around. before raising his eyebrows and frowning
“Is this picture taken at an amusement park? Probably yes.”
“I am looking for your child, Sera. Do you have any clues?” When he finished speaking, he pointed at the baby in the picture. Lily shook her head, clearly not knowing. Or am I just a similar-looking person that can be found in the world?
“Oh, so that's it? ” He looked at Lily for a moment. Before starting to think about something
“Would you like this, Lily? Shall we exchange information? It seems like her father knows Mabel, right? So, let's exchange information, shall we?” Lily listened and nodded, that was not a bad idea either, and Lily exchanged the man's contact number.
After that day, Lily kept telling stories and answering her questions. Then, the next day, Lily and Uncle Note would find the information they found and exchange it with each other at the same coffee shop. Lily will give information about Mabel, while Uncle Note will give information about the location of the fire and is always looking for information about deaths.
After father had been giving information for many days and listening to stories all the time. One day he started asking questions.
“Lily, do you have a picture of Uncle Note to show me?” he asked, still expressionless as usual.
“Yes.” Lily handed the phone to her father.
“What is his real name?” he asked calmly. He examined the picture carefully. He also picked up a picture that was on the table and compared it. After looking for a while, he got his answer.
“I don't know. But the nickname is definitely not Pop. How are you? Does your face look familiar?”
“No, it doesn't look familiar at all.”
“Is that so?”
“But it's strange that he has a picture of Mabel that doesn't even look similar. He said he was looking for his daughter, right?”
“Yes.” Father thought for a moment before realizing something.
“Wait, Lily. What is the relationship between Mabel and Uncle Note?”
"I don't know. He didn't tell me."
“So, can you try bringing him to our house?”
“Um, maybe. But why?"
“Father, I have a question that I would like to ask.”
The next day at the same coffee shop.
“Uncle Note, have you ever had plastic surgery?” As soon as he heard the question, he froze slightly before looking at Lily with doubt in his eyes.
“Never,” he simply replied.
“So, how did Mr. Note have a picture of Miss Mabel?”
"I don't know. I realized that she was my wife, but I don't remember anything about her. Do you know anything about Sera, Lily?" But Lily refused.
“Wow, I've been looking for this long and still haven't found any clues. Really boring.”
“That's it.”
Then the rhythm of their conversation was interrupted and dead air occurred for a moment. It had been many days since Lily and Uncle Note had met and exchanged information, but after many days there had been no sign of finding any important clues. Maybe they're lost.
“Look, Lily, where did the picture you showed Uncle come from that day?”
“Is that a picture of Dad and his friends?”
“Yes, that's the picture.”
“My father gave it to me.”
“Father?”
“Really, Uncle Note, would you mind coming to talk to my father at home about finding this person? He's something he's good at. Maybe he knows about Uncle's child.” Uncle Note's face was half-believing, half-believing, but still, he had no choice but to try, so he agreed.
Well, Dad wanted to meet me so he could find out. She took out her cell phone from her pocket and called Dad, and of course the answer was that she had the green light to travel now.
Father walked out to greet us at the front of the two-story house, which was made of beautiful clear glass and decorated with concrete, looking stunningly beautiful. He stood politely even though he was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and long trousers that looked modest and covered the scars on his body. Combined with his aristocratic demeanor, it made Uncle Note feel self-conscious. When he successfully invited Uncle Note to sit on the sofa in the living room of the house.
Lily and Father sat down on opposite sides of the sofa. And then Lander started the conversation.
“Hello, are you Mr. Note? My daughter already told me about it. I heard that it has something to do with Mabel, so what do you want to know?” His polite expression and expressionless face put a lot of pressure on the note sitting across from him. I don't know if this was an adult's conversation or if it was just that her father hadn't talked to anyone else for a long time, so it came out like this.
"I would like you to help me find some information about Sera." Uncle Note finished speaking and picked up a picture to show to Father who was sitting across from him. She vaguely saw that it was a picture of a young woman holding a child.
“Is this child Sera? And what about her first and last name?”
“Uh, Kanthamanee Sangdara,” he replied in a half-hearted tone. But that answer stopped Lander in his tracks.
“Wait a minute, Mr. Note. What is your real name?”
Seeing Lander's expression, he sweatdropped and answered boldly.
"My name is Drall Saengdara."
Lander swallowed hard, his expression so shocked that he had to stand up from the sofa. before sitting down again
“Sorry. I just happened to be a little careless. But what does Sera have to do with you?”
“Probably my child. And do you have any clues about Sera?”
Father sat quietly for a moment, looking as if he was thinking about something. Lily and Uncle Note saw this and stared at him with curious looks in their eyes. Lander thought about it for a moment and then replied with an expression that didn't look good.
“I would like to express my condolences. But Sera? He has died.”
Those words shocked Note to the point where he could hardly speak, as tears began to pour out in his eyes. Lily, on the other hand, froze. That means that what Note has done for 5 years will lose its meaning.
“Died. Where did you die? For what reason?”
“Died abroad. from bloodstream infections when More than 10 years ago.”
Uncle Note slammed his hand on the table and roared. “And how do you know?” His face was extremely tense.
“I don't want to tell you. But I used to visit her at the orphanage often.”
“This is abroad. How is that possible?”
“I don't believe it, absolutely never.” After speaking, he dragged his feet and walked out of the house. Lily focused her attention. He found that his lifeline was clouded with sorrow and disappointment.
“Dad, are you talking too harshly?”
“Lily, are you close to him?” That question surprised Lily.
“Please go find it for your father and find out if he has had facial surgery or not. If so, then I definitely have a surprise for you.”
“Eh, but at that time I already asked. He said no.” Father suddenly spoke up with an expression that Lily hadn't seen in a long time. The last time was when she survived being hit by a car. Its meaning is that Father is extremely happy.
“No, I think he's lying. Sera isn't dead, I know that. But don't tell him about it until Note confesses. Do you understand, Lily? The opportunity has come to us. By myself too!!!”
Many days have passed since that day and Uncle Note hasn't contacted her again. But she tried to comfort herself. She didn't do anything wrong, but she felt bad at the same time. Even though I didn't do anything, I feel like I hurt someone until their heart was broken. Her heart began to sag. She began to have no energy to do anything.
Maybe if we hadn't invited him from the beginning He really didn't have to be in pain. Even though every day Father came to comfort her, it still couldn't fill her heart. The only person she wanted to comfort was Uncle Note himself. Day after day, she thought like that. I couldn't get this thought out of my mind for once.
Another few days passed until Lily's school break was nearly over. This time period, if Lily remembered correctly, would also be the last day before returning to Uncle's country. Meanwhile Lily was sitting exhausted. Lily's phone suddenly received a new message, and this time it was from Uncle Note.
“Are you free? Can you come to the coffee shop?” That one message made Lily regain her strength again.
At a famous shop in an urban area which has a shady atmosphere from the pond next to the shop It is a good view for setting up shop. Lily was sitting outside in a chair waiting for someone. With hope, waiting anxiously for the time
At a large coffee shop in the urban area The highlight is a circular dome decorated in the ancient style of Rome. Inside, there is a flower garden surrounding it. Inside, there were people crowded together. Some drank coffee, some chatted. The ancient and beautiful atmosphere of Rome combined with the atmosphere of nature. This makes this place an extremely expensive coffee shop.
Currently, Lily and that uncle were sitting next to the outside area of the shop because the surrounding view was of a beautiful flower garden inside. It provides an equally good atmosphere.
While waiting with guilt What will the emotions in his heart be like? Angry, sad, happy? Lily's head was all confused. And then she woke up from her trance as her instincts kicked in again. Looking at the source of the voice, he saw a tall man with a prominent mole on his eyes. He was crouching down, walking towards Lily with a clumsy expression. Lily immediately focused her eyes.
The life line is still getting better, but it's still bad.
“Hello, Lily,” a soft greeting slowly lifted her.
“Uncle, I'm sorry, I didn't think that It will be like that.” She continued to wait for an answer with a sad expression.
"It's okay, Lily. I understand. I'm sorry I worried you."
"nevermind I'm so glad you're safe.” Hearing that note made him feel relieved.
“Lily, I think today will be the last day we see each other. Therefore, Uncle will try not to say anything to cause things to remain unresolved. Lily, too."
“The picture you brought to show me. It's exactly like the picture of me when I didn't lose my memory, so I had a lot of hope when she took me to see Father. When we didn't get to meet him, we were very disappointed that our dreams would never come true. But because of that, another part of my heart felt relieved. To not be imprisoned again, at least from now on Uncle won't have to waste time again.
You don't have to worry about whether you'll find it or not. Will there be time to talk? Because of that, I thought it might not be that bad after all.”
“Aren't you lonely like that? I don't have any friends. There is no family. Plus, you've lost your target.” The answer sounded sad, but he gritted his teeth and answered.
“It's okay. I'm even relieved because at least there's nothing on my mind.” He stretched out his chest confidently, and the expression on his face made Lily relieved.
“Is that so?”
"Then there's nothing outstanding. Goodbye." He stood up and made to walk out of the shop. It was then that Lily reached out and held him back.
“Wait a minute, has Uncle ever had plastic surgery? I beg you, please answer honestly. We made a contract, didn't we? That this will be the last time So can you please answer from the heart?” He had a shocked expression on his face. Try to deny the inevitable But Lily gave him such a pleading look that he couldn't bear it.
"Yes, I have." The answer made Lily's eyes widen with joy.
But Lily's senses suddenly felt abnormal. A strange smell of cooking gas wafted into my nose. That made Lily sense something unusual. Looks like someone else Others felt it as well and some began to stand up. Some came out of the store.
“Lily, do you smell something strange?” Lily's instincts were screaming. Is there something strange? Lily began to stare at all the people in the cafe. What she saw shocked Lily so much that her heart nearly burst out of her chest.
“Run quickly, everyone. It's dangerous here.” At that moment, Lily started running. Most of the people started running after them, causing chaos to begin. And soon there was a sound of an explosion. Then the picture cuts away.
Lily wakes up amidst the ruins. She felt pain coursing through her body like never before. On her body were the remains of a shop. Although it wasn't very thick, with her body's current state, she couldn't lift it away. All she could do was look around and see only the scattered remains of the coffee shop. Everywhere she looked, she saw the bodies of many people crushed in the middle of the collapsed buildings.
All around, there was only dust scattered throughout the radius. And the flames are burning without anyone stopping them. What exactly happened? Is the cooking gas leaking? So now she's going to die? That was the first thing Lily thought of. And Uncle, where are you? Uncle, Lily's expression clearly began to show that she was worried.
She began to shout out that person's name at the top of her lungs, even though she barely had any strength to speak.
It's also good to have a response. It seemed like Uncle Note was on the opposite side of her.
Uncle Note and Lily were stuck in those ruins. That caused Lily to flash back to a past she had forgotten.
Some time passed after Uncle and Lily talked to relieve their loneliness. Lily suddenly remembered something and this picture looked very familiar. Just like this As soon as she thought about it, she almost laughed if it weren't for the fact that her physical condition couldn't handle it.
“Is something wrong, Lily?”
"No, there's nothing. I just thought of something."
“Can you think of anything?”
“The past, it will die anyway. Will you listen to it?”
“Of course.”
“When I was a child, before I met my father. I've been to an orphanage before. I've never had a father or mother before. As for why I came to the orphanage, I don't know. All I know is that I was left in front of an orphanage. So I kept it and raised it, and it still has a scar on its face that looks disgusting.
No child has ever come near me. Until I met my father. From that day on, I had a new life like I had dreamed of. Had surgery to remove the scar until now there is only a small scar left as you can see, and helped bring me here to this country, giving me the opportunity to live my life like this.”
“Uncle, I think I'm starting to figure it out too. Lost memories"
“Can you tell me about it?”
“Alright, sure. In the past, Uncle and his family used to live together. They used to live together peacefully until one day my house was set on fire. While everyone is sleeping When I woke up, I found that my house had burned down and we were stuck in a circle of fire. We tried to run out of the house but couldn't.
I am separated from my wife and children. And in the end I never saw him again. When he woke up again, he was already in the hospital. I can't remember anything. But there is something that has stuck with me since then, an ugly scar on my face. Anyone who sees me is disgusted. Plus it makes my job extremely difficult.
So I had plastic surgery and didn't tell you. But when I heard that she had plastic surgery too, I told her.”
“Is it because of this?”
“Lily, do you think fate really exists?”
The question surprised Lily.
"I don't know."
“Heh heh, you know what, Lily? It's true. My life partner is not ordinary. Because you have a blessing from the main god. “He took a break.
“Lily, can you see the lifeline?” Lily closed her mouth in shock. In this whole life, the only person who knows this is Father.
“You told me to run just now because you were confident, right? I remember, I remember everything Her father's name is Lander, right?”
Lily couldn't hold back her laughter. I never thought that everything would have to end like this.
“Let's know something now. It's so funny. We'll be grilled soon enough.” Lily and Note both laughed at Fate.
“Fate is playing a trick. Oh my goodness, we actually met again. They will still be separated from each other.”
"They really can do it."
Time passed from 1 second to 2 seconds, seconds turned to minutes, minutes turned to hours. Now I don't know how much time has passed. Knowing only the pain, her body could barely support her consciousness. Are we about to die? This kind of darkness Die like this? I haven't told my father about this yet.
But then the sound of some hard thumping sounded. Before that, officers in yellow uniforms rushed in everywhere. There was a face she saw that was so familiar that she couldn't forget it. Is it P'Mew? And her consciousness suddenly shut down.
Lily woke up again in a white room. Her eyes looked upwards. It's like she's sleeping. She couldn't move. She turned her head around to investigate. She saw a large green curtain separating her on either side. It was a view she had seen before. It brought back memories that had disappeared long ago. When Lily was a child
Every night she slept, she always woke up in this white room. No matter what night or what night You will always revive in this room. An uncomfortable, dirty white hospital room.
“Father, what about that uncle?”
“Wait outside.”
“So?”
“Lily, do you remember that day?”
“What day is it? Lander heard this and raised his eyebrows.”
“It's nothing,” he said, pretending it didn't matter.
“Is this the day of the fire?!!!”
“I remember now. The story of that time."
“Then let me prove it to you.”
“ 17 years ago, the day she encountered a fire that left her in serious condition. Even though she survived, it was with a scar on her face. And she has no relatives, no memories. Was about to be sent to an orphanage but then met Father. The day he walked into that empty room I remember it well.
Then he took me somewhere I don't know. Until finally he returned to this country, his motherland. It was as if my father's connection would give me a new life. Abandoning my old name and starting with the new name Father gave me, Lily, to help me forget the past. Actually, my name is Sera, right?"
Dad applauded before waving to someone hiding behind the curtains. Makes Lily suspicious But that doubt was soon answered when a tall man walked into the curtains. while making non-stop giggling sounds The picture you saw in front of you made you so moved that you almost shed tears. Uncle Note!!! Then Lander began introducing himself.
"I'd like to get to know the new member of the family, Drall Saengdara, Pop or Note." Lily heard this and clapped her hands and laughed happily.
“So, what should we call this?”
And the three of them laughed happily.
