"Rie chan?"

She looks at him weakly . "Ren, is that you?"

"Yes . " He is relieved to see her clear eyes . "How are you feeling now?"

"Sleepy . " She rubs her eyes and gets up . She looks around and wrinkles her nose . "Where is this?"

"Rie chan, I brought you here because you got hurt during the accident . " Ren strokes her head . "Did you have a good sleep?"

Rie blinks at him with surprise . "Ren, how did we get into the accident?"

"That . . . " Ren doesn't know what to say . "Rie chan, what do you remember?"

"I was . . . " She scratches her head . "I was coming back after giving you the letter . Ren, is your brother feeling better now? I am sure that you will win the world hacks series . When you get the money, make sure that he gets the surgery as soon as possible . You didn't read the letter, right? You promised me that you would read it only after the world hack series is over . "

Ren stares at her face blankly . She is smiling at him with blus.h.i.+ng cheeks . That's the eighteen years old Rie who gave him the letter that day . That's how she looked at him back then .

He can't feel happy .

"Rie chan, you are playing a prank, aren't you?" He grabs her hands . "Stop playing this sick joke . "

She furrows her brows . "Ren, you are the one who is always playing pranks on others . I don't play pranks . Wait, you don't want my games . I won't give them to you . "

She turns her face away from him and raises her chin high .

"Do you remember Kiyohira?" He asks her with desperation in his voice .

"Who?" She scratches her head again . "This name sounds familiar . "

"Yes, Kamiyama Kiyohira . " Ren takes a breath of relief . "You remember him . "

"Ren, I told you that you can't speak about the Kamiyama family . " Rie glares at him . "I hate that family the most . They broke my family apart . "

She remembers . Ren places his palm against his chest . For a second, he thought that she turned into her eighteen years old self .

"I hope that Kamiyama s.h.i.+ntaro and my mother gets a divorce . Maybe then, she will remember that I also exist . " She adds, "I hate that Kiyohira the most . How dare he treats her so roughly? When it was my 9th birthday, I sneaked into the mansion . That boy and I have the same birthday . She made my favorite cake for him . But, he threw the cake on the ground and called it disgusting . He told her that he would never accept her as his stepmother in front of everyone . It was a birthday party . He didn't think how much she must have been hurt . "

Kiyohira stops at the door . He did something like that on his 9th birthday . He didn't like Kamiyama Hitomi . He always saw her as Takes.h.i.+'s mother . It was hard to accept a woman as his mother who was called a gold digger by other people during his birthday party .

"Rie chan, why do you speak like that?" Ren is terrified . "I will call the doctor . Don't go anywhere . Promise me that you won't run away . "

Rie chan grasps his hand . "You are overreacting, Ren . You are the one who should see the doctor . "

He looks into her eyes . "Promise me . "

"Fine . I promise . " She shrugs her shoulders and lets go of his hand . "Ren, bring me a drink . I feel thirsty . "

"I will . " Ren points at her as he walks away . "Don't leave this place . If you do, I will not forgive you . "

"I won't leave . I won't forgive you if you don't bring my favorite drink," Rie yells at him when he closes the door . "What's wrong with him?"

***

Ren locks the room . This must be temporary . She won't forget 8 years of her life .

"What's going on?"

He stiffly turns around and finds Kiyohira looking at him calmly . He promised to call this man after Rie chan has calmed down, but he forgot about it .

"I don't know what's going on . " Ren laughs nervously . "She is acting strange as if she is eighteen again . Is it possible? She was still fine after the accident . "

"Stay here . " Kiyohira's expressions are unreadable . "I will call the doctor . Guard the door . You can't let her escape . "

Ren paces outside the room with an ominous feeling . Rie stretches her arms . She feels sleepy, but she doesn't want to sleep . She walks to the window and looks out . This city seems unfamiliar . When did T city become this green? Where the h.e.l.l is she?

Kiyohira returns with two doctors . Ren slowly unlocks the door and pushes it . Rie is sitting cross-legged on the bed with a deep frown .

"Ren, where the h.e.l.l I am?" She shouts at him when she sees him .

"Hospital?" Ren smiles awkwardly . "Rie chan, I told you that we had an accident . "

"Even if we had an accident, we should be in T city . "

The two doctors share a look before they give a nod to Ren to keep pretending .

"Rie chan, you forgot . You and I came here for a vacation . Remember you wanted to see H island? We were on our way when we got into an accident . " Ren sits beside her and keeps her attention on him .

"That's bad . " She looks nervous . "Ren, what will happen when my grandmother finds out? I never left her alone . Who is looking after her?"

"Rie chan . " He pinches her cheek . "Did you forget? Grandmother went to see your father . She will come back after a few months . You told her to go before you come here with me . "

"It's strange . " Rie narrows her eyes on him . "I don't remember a lot of things . "

"It's a temporary amnesia . " One of the doctors explains to her . "You b.u.mped your head and forgot some things . Your memories will come back after some time . "

She looks at them suspiciously . "That sounds like a plot of a drama . "

"Hahaha!" Ren pats her head . "Rie chan, you are so funny . In the drama, the one with amnesia always forgets about the lover . You didn't forget me, right?"

She grins at him . "You are right . Wait, who are you calling your lover? You read the letter, didn't you? You couldn't wait until the end of the world hack series . "

Ren pauses his actions when he sees her pouting sullenly . "The world hack series is canceled . So, I read it . "

She will beat him up when she remembers everything .

"It's canceled . Did I forget about that too?" She closes her eyes and puts her head back . "How will you get the money for the surgery then?"

The doctor leaves after observing the patient . Ren stays beside her to keep an eye on her . Kiyohira meets up with the doctors .

"What's wrong with her?" He steels his heart to listen . "Why is she like that?"

"She did b.u.mp her head, but it shouldn't affect her memory . It wasn't serious . " The first doctor looks at him solemnly, "We think that the reason is more psychological than physical . We have called a doctor to check on her . He was on a vacation and he was supposed to come tomorrow . After hearing about her case, he is going to see her today . Until he comes, it's better to not break the illusion . We can't tell how it will affect the patient . "
