[Of course, the Little Prince will save it.]

[But he's dead.]

[No, he is not dead.]

Then, the story came. A lie made up by an adult for the child's sake.

[He lives on Earth.]

She claimed that the Little Prince had not died, and was still living to save the planet. It was a lie, a false story. But the young child listened carefully as if he really believed in it.

Sirwen then realized that the story was the foundation of his life.

In next moment, she felt her heart sink.

Why was this memory a 'white' color? Why was this memory 'unimportant'?

This man… how far had he given up on life?

Just then, a WiFi receptor in the distance began to make noise. Small Jaehwan stood up immediately.

"We found it."

"Huh?"

"The way out for you."

At the top of a skysc.r.a.per was a strange hole. Small Jaehwan and Sirwen looked up at the hole, and then he spoke.

"I call that place a 'doggy door.'"

"Doggy door?'

It was a strange name, but it was kind of understandable. A doggy door was too small for normal adults to go through. Sirwen felt a bit bad at the thought of leaving the place. It was weird because she hated it so much when she was first trapped.

"I would've stayed longer with you if I had more time."

"I don't need it."

Sirwen then asked again, "But you liked having me around, right?"

He did not answer. However, Sirwen liked the silence. It was the best positive answer that the boy could give.

"We have to go up there. I think we have to get to the roof."

Both of them then began climbing up the stairs of the skysc.r.a.per. The 'doggy door' would not stay open for too long. Sirwen panted as she ran up.

"You're quick for being so young."

"I'm not young."

"How old are you then?"

"I forgot."

Sirwen then asked again.

"How old do you think I am?"

"About 2000."

It kind of annoying to hear, even if it was true.

"Do all the people outside live that long?"

"…Not all."

"But they become adults though, right?"

Sirwen couldn't answer; she wanted to deny it. She wanted to say that there were some who became adults on the outside but stayed young on the inside.
