Arc 3: Chapter 8: A reminder of the past

"Edan, Who are you?", Mr. Leonard inquired.

The room felt like a cold desert all of a sudden as I couldn't get myself out of this situation.

And so I told him everything.

I told him my past.

My life before being reborn into this world.

I told him the way I took up a responsibility of changing my society.

The way my past world worked. As the world felt like a story.

And this story had been narrating our lives for centuries.

I was a anomaly of the story. As the rest of the people turned into the characters of this story.

I tried, I tried to release the minds of these people free.

But the world turned out to be too rigid.

As I took more and more uncertain choices.

The story was now swayed too much from it's original end.

It then sought the annihilation of an existence such as myself.

In the end that world got rid of me as I was left in a lonely emptiness.

I told him how a being that said it was my soul freed me from that void.

And then how I ended up standing in front of this man.

"Edan, Your world it just feels so similar"

" That world which never lets you fly freely"

"The world filled with mystery"

He turned towards me as a butterfly approached him and landed on his finger.

He showed the butterfly and said,

"Edan like this you are someone who just by flapping his wings could create hurricanes"

And he then approached me

"I am sure that you are wronged!"

"Your body it has no soul"

All of a sudden my eyes widened as I leapt into a state of confusion.

"I don't know why that person said so but I hope it was for a good reason"

"I would like to ask you this one question"

[As the butterfly flew up inside the room]

"What would you do If a wall were to stop you from reaching your end?"

[The butterfly tried to flap it's wings as hard as it could but couldn't move out of the room as the wall stopped it from doing so.]

"I would then just break the wall which stops me from reaching my goal", I replied.

As I shot the glass wall with my finger, the butterfly flew out of the room and was now freed.

"I hope you make that decision one day", Mr. Leonard said.

[On that day Leonard felt he could pass on his will to someone. The only person who was capable of achieving a goal was someone who was from beyond the world]

"Anyways, repair that wall for me will ya", he added.

"Yes sir, I will", I said hesitantly.
