With a final reassuring squeeze of Ellis's hands, Sam backs away, leaving Ellis alone to embark on his spiritual journey. Slowly, Ellis turned into tiny particles and faded away leaving behind his full memories and trust in Sam.

As Sam woke up, he found himself back in the familiar surroundings of the farmhouse. The weight of his experiences lingered in his mind, and the memory of the ethereal realm where he had connected with Ellis's soul remained vivid. He reached up to touch his face, confirming the reality of his existence in Ellis' body.

Turning his gaze to the chair beside the bed, Sam noticed the maid still sleeping soundly. A sense of gratitude washed over him as he observed her unwavering dedication to her duties. The dream had reinforced his commitment to honour the memory of Ellis's parents.

Quietly rising from the bed, Sam approached the maid with a gentle step. He paused for a moment, taking in the sight of her tired form, before covering her with a blanket to shield her from the coolness of the night. Though his own weariness persisted, the connection he had forged with Ellis's soul fueled his determination to fulfil his responsibilities.

As he stood there, a bittersweet wave of emotion washed over him. While he had embraced his role in Ellis's life, he couldn't deny the longing he felt for his own family and his girlfriend Sarah from his past life.

As he grappled with the intense emotions tied to his past life relations, waves of longing, sorrow, and nostalgia crashed over him like a tempestuous sea as he realised he wouldn't be able to see them again. The memories of his family and his beloved Sarah surged forth, each one a poignant reminder of the love and happiness he had once known.

As the weight of his past relations bore down on him, Sam could no longer contain the overwhelming surge of emotions. Tears streamed down his face, betraying the depth of his longing and grief. Silent sobs racked his body as he allowed himself to fully feel the loss of his family and Sarah.

In the solitude of the farmhouse, the echoes of his cries mingled with the stillness of the night. He yearned for the comfort of his parents' presence, imagining the sorrow they must have felt upon his passing. Thoughts of his siblings, once intertwined in a bond of shared experiences and unconditional love, intensified his anguish.

But it was the thought of Sarah's reaction that pierced his heart most deeply. The image of her discovering his absence, her eyes welling with tears, and her world crumbling around her brought forth a torrent of pain. He wondered how she coped with the emptiness left by his departure, how her heart must have shattered into countless pieces.

Sam questioned what his loved ones might feel when they realized he had passed away, their grief mirrored in his own. He yearned for the chance to assure them that he was still with them in spirit, to let them know that his love for them remained unwavering. The weight of his absence on their lives weighed heavily on his conscience.

As he wept in the quietude of the night, Sam sought solace in the memories he held dear. He conjured the image of his family and Sarah, their laughter and shared moments, their love enveloping him even in his darkest hours. It was in these cherished recollections that he found a glimmer of comfort, a reminder that the love they had shared would forever endure.

As Sam's tears flowed, his silent cries caught the attention of the maid who was sleeping. Startled by Sam's visible display of anguish, she quickly rose from her chair and rushed to his side, her heart filled with empathy and concern.

Without hesitation, the maid enveloped Sam in a tender embrace, holding him tightly as if to shield him from the weight of his sorrow. She gently stroked his back, offering him a soothing presence and a safe space to release his emotions.

"Young master," she whispered softly, her voice filled with compassion. "I'm here for you. You're not alone in this. Let your tears flow, and know that I'm here to support you."

Sam's body trembled with the weight of his emotions, but the maid's embrace provided a source of comfort he desperately needed. The warmth of her presence reminded him that he had found a new family in this new world, individuals who cared deeply for him despite the pain and longing he carried from his past.

As he sobbed in the embrace of the maid, his tears slowly subsided, replaced by a newfound sense of strength and determination. The image of the maid's caring gaze merged with memories of young Ellis, reminding him that he is now Ellis. He had to let go and the life he now needed to live was of Ellis, not Sam.

With the maid's comforting arms still around him, Sam wiped away the remnants of his tears and looked into her eyes. Gratitude and determination mingled in his gaze as he whispered," Thank you, big sis Emily."

Emily smiled warmly, her eyes reflecting pride and encouragement. She nodded in understanding, her unwavering support evident in her gaze.

As Sam [ I would address him as Ellis from now on ] fell asleep in Emily's embrace, a deep sense of peace washed over him. The weight of his burdens lifted momentarily, allowing him to find solace in the safety of Emily's care. She gently cradled him in her arms, mindful of his fragile state, and carried him to his bed.

Laying him down gently, Emily pulled the covers up to his chin, tucking him in snugly. She lingered by his side for a moment, watching over him with a mix of tenderness and determination. In this quiet moment, she silently reaffirmed her commitment to support Ellis in his journey, to be there for him as the indestructible pillar.

Ellis' breaths grew steady, the weariness in his body way to the embrace of sleep. Emily stood by his bedside, her gaze fixed on his peaceful face. She whispered words of encouragement and love, hoping they would reach him even in his slumber.

With a final gentle touch to his forehead, Emily turned and quietly left the room, leaving Sam to rest and recharge.

The night enveloped the room, cradling Ellis in a cocoon of dreams and possibilities. As he slept, his mind began to weave a tapestry of hope and resilience.

Next Day

As the soft rays of the morning sun gently spilled into the room, Ellis slowly stirred from his slumber. His eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the light as he took in his surroundings once again. The room felt familiar yet different, a place that held both memories of the past and the promise of a new beginning.

Suddenly, a translucent blue window pops in his face.

Transmigration [✓]

Talk To The Soul Of Original Body [✓]

================================

Ellis blinked in surprise at the unexpected message that appeared before him. His brows furrowed as he read through the system alert, trying to process its meaning. Transmigration? Projected memories? Talking to the soul of his original body? The words swirled in his mind, reminding him of his reality and the dream he had last night.

He was taken aback by its presence, as he had not expected any sort of system alert to interrupt his thoughts. Confusion filled his mind as he tried to comprehend what was happening.

His initial surprise gradually transformed into curiosity tinged with caution. His gaze shifted once again from the message to his surroundings taking in the familiar yet different room. It felt almost surreal, like a dream that he couldn't quite wake up from. Ellis took a deep breath, attempting to ground himself in the present moment.

Just as Ellis was lost in his thoughts, the door to his room gently swung open.
