Before I leave the black space, Death has advised me.

-You can consider each of us is the keeper of your memory. I don't know what happened, but Conquest has used a part of her existence to save you. If this situation continues, she will disappear soon. (Death)

I am shocked at Death's statement. I merely thought Hale only went to sleep and will wake up shortly.

-One of the only ways to help Conquest, for now, is you need to reduce the load on the memory that she is holding. (Death)

-What is that mean? (Farah)

-You need to witness a part of locked memory. That will give Conquest more time. (Death)

-... (Farah)

Death shakes her head.

-You shouldn't answer right away. Come back tomorrow. (Death)

I slowly being pulled out from the black space and come back to reality. When I open my eyes, I am seeing Hana is hugging me.

-Master! (Hana)

-Farah! (Aya)

It seems Aya, and others have also come back.

-I'm happy you wake up, master. (Hana)

Aya pushes Hana out and hugs me.

-You, damn bug! (Hana)

-You hug her long enough. It's my time to hug her. (Aya)

-... (Himari)

I ask Hana.

-Hana, What's wrong with me? (Farah)

Hana doesn't want to tell me. She merely comes near my side and caresses my head.

-I will inform you after everything is done. (Hana)

When I try to look at others, they try to avoid my line of sight.

-I got it. There must be a reason that you guys won't tell me. (Farah)

Aya looks at me with an anxious face.

-Don't worry, Farah. You will get well soon. (Aya)

Until the end, they never tell me about the current situation of mine.

That night when I try to sleep, I keep thinking about what Death said. I know, If I do nothing Hale will be in danger.

-Those locked memories! (Farah)

I want to recall those memories. I want to recall who I was in the past, and I want to protect others dear to me.

-Let's do it! (Farah)

That night, I have come back to the black space again.

-What is your answer, White? (Death)

-I want to see those locked memories. (Farah)

Death nods at my statement.

-Famine leads her the way. (Death)

-... Follow me. (Famine)

I follow the girl to the corner of the black space.

-Haiz. (Famine)

She doesn't seem to like me at all.

-Now exercise "that" on me. (Famine)

I don't understand what she is talking about.

-Emotion Magic! (Famine)

-Ah! (Farah)

-It's the key to unlock those hidden memories.

-Can I even use that magic in this space? (Farah)

The girl seems to annoy at my statement; she takes my hand and places it on her chest.

-Emotion magic! (Famine)

-Eh? (Farah)

My consciousness gradually fades away.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's a story before everything happens. It's a story about a boy who experiences an insignificant life. The boy is around 4 to 5 years old. He is currently wearing a rag; it looks like he doesn't have decent clothes to wear.

-Hungry. (The Boy)

The boy hugs his belly. Since he was born into a poor household, he never has a chance fully eaten. He is always starving.

-Please, Ma'am! Can you give me some money? (The Boy)

-Go away! Disgusting beggar! (Passerby A)

Another person declines the boy's begging. The boy doesn't want to be on the street begging like this. However, he has to do this since his mom is bedridden and his sister is too small. And if he doesn't bring any money back, his father will hit him again.

-Can I...? (The Boy)

-Get away from me! (Passerby B)

Not wait for him to finish the sentence; the passerby immediately declines his offer. No matter how strong the boy is, he is still a five-year-old kid. He can't stop the tear comes from his eyes.

-Boy, don't cry! (The girl)

A teenage girl wears a school uniform run to his side and uses the handkerchief to wipe his tear.

-Are you okay? (The girl)

The boy immediately hardens up and replies to the girl.

-I'm sorry, I'm sorry. (The Boy)

The girl hugs the boy.

-Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you. (The girl)

At that time, a big growl can be heard from the boy's stomach.

-You can have this, kid. (The girl)

The girl gives the boy a bag full of loaves of bread.

-Eh? (The Boy)

-You are hungry, right? (The girl)

The boy nods at the girl's statement. She caresses the boy's hair.

-You have no mistake, kid. The adult is at fault when they made you do this. (The girl)

The boy tries denying it.

-No, I do this because my mom and my sister are hungry too. (The Boy)

The girl smiles at the boy's statement.

-You are a good kid. (The girl)

The girl reminds the boy.

-You can come back to this place tomorrow. I will give you more food. (The girl)

The boy nods and said to the girl with a tiny voice.

-Thanks. (The Boy)

When the girl tries leaving, The boy hesitant a bit; at that moment he decides to ask the girl.

-Can you tell me what's your name? (The Boy)

-My name?  (The girl)

The boy afraid that he has asked something forbidden and instantly tries to say sorry.

-It's not your fault, kid. I just don't like my real name. (The girl)

The girl tries looking around, and she sees the current time is seven o'clock.

-You can call me... (The girl)

-Yes? (The Boy)

-Septem is fine. Since we meet for the first time at seven o'clock. (Septem)

-Septem. (The Boy)

-And your name boy? (Septem)

-I am called Hale. (Hale)

-Hale, It's a very great name you have there. It's my time to go, Hale. (Septem)

The boy bends down.

-Thanks a lot, sister Septem. I will always remember your help. (Hale)

The girl waves her hand.

-It's nothing much. See you later, kid. (Septem)

The boy makes a beaming smile toward the girl.

-See you later, sister. (Hale)
