“Doc, this kid is still breathing. Hey medic, help me get him out of the debris. We can save him.”
“Thank god! What about the other two? Are they alive?”
The support worker just gave a grim look in response.
“Is that so… Everyone rush the boy to the hospital as soon as possible. His health is very critical, every second counts. As for the other two, we couldn’t come in time. The police department will deal with them.”
*beep* *beep*
Huh…What is happening here? Where am I? Who are these people? Why are they so tensed up? Where are they taking me? Ahh…everything’s so bright and blurry. I can’t see much. I need to know what’s up.
I tried to open my eyes and move my body but was unable to. I tried to speak but my mouth didn’t move. I felt a sharp pain in my head. I tried to recall the cause of this situation and a memory suddenly flashed in my eyes.
“Eiji, be sure to tighten your seatbelts, ok?”
“I know mom, stop treating me like a little kid!”

“Hahaha, he is right honey. He is a high school student now. He is turning into a fine man like me.”
“See, my old man gets it. But still suspect about you being a fine man though, hahahah”
“This brat…Eiji, you still single right? How pitiful”
“Shut it old man. I will get a super hot gf and fawn before you in a blink of an eye just wait for it.”
“Shut it you two! The trip hasn’t even started and you guys are bickering already. Haaah…its like I am raising two kids here,”
“Yes Milord!!”
Oh right! I was going on a trip with my parents on my dad’s car. Maybe we got in an accident or something. That means that I am in a hospital right now. What about my parents? Are they ok? I hope nothing happened to them. Anxiety and confusion took over my mind but was immediately suppressed by exhaustion. I am feeling sleepy…
I didn’t know anything at that time. I had no knowledge about the magnitude of this incident and what it meant for me. The fact that this was the last time I was myself, my original self. The death of my past self…and the beginning of a new one.
It was as if I was emerging from the depths of a dark and cold sea. A single ray of light pierced the unending darkness and for reasons unknown my body seems to follow the light to the surface of the sea. As I ascended the sea, the light kept getting brighter and brighter to the point that it was irritating. But then suddenly…
*beep* *beep*
Mhmm…
I woke up to see a ceiling I didn’t know. I tried to look around but to no success. I could still move my eyes but not my head. I tried to call someone but my voice didn’t seem to come out. I could hear some weird noises but nothing understandable. I tried to analyze the situation. Where was I? Why am I here? What happened to cause this? I was somehow calm and collected until now but panic, anxiety and fear started to creep up to me when I came to a sudden realization…
Wait, who am I?
