Remembrance
"Hey, Catherine, kindly wake up!" David says, awakening her in her oblivious state.
Catherine rubbed her eyes and his vision turns to blurry and then later clear.
"I'm sorry for that. My brother Black sent the Clone already and the memories intact. Please stay here and guide him." David orders.
"We are going back to the mansion, I am truly thankful for your tries to guard him." David says, smiling. "I like you when we are kids and that's true. But you know, When I am with Ryan, I felt my heart racing." David whispers to Catherine.
Catherine blushes as she remembers that time, and also she remembers what she did to David then.
She looks at David again. There's not much difference from their appearance before, but now there are more differences in their personalities. David is much calmer, but there's still that little twinkle of mischief in his eyes. Catherine notices how David seems older, too.
It makes her heart beat faster, and she feels heat rushing to her cheeks.
When Catherine was young, she used to imagine herself being in love with David.
When she first saw the real David after all those years, she thought how lucky she was. He looked so handsome with his hair cut and dressed in formal clothes, but when he was younger, she never really noticed or cared about the fact. David was just David, and the idea never crossed her mind.
"I may be hurt, but I'm thankful that you finally find who you really want. Please cherish Master Ryan." Catherine replies while hugging David.
"And please take care of yourself too!" She adds in her mind and walks towards the door.
"Goodbye Catherine." David replies smiling, his cheeks red due to her unexpected hug.
When David leaves to take Ryan with him to the mansion, David sighs and rubs his face with both hands.
He takes a deep breath and decides to focus on correcting this mistake.
The only thing he can do now is to apologize to Ryan for what he did and hope that he will forgive him and that his memories shall be restored.
When David arrives to the mansion, Black is standing outside the front door with a nervous look on his face.
"Finally!, Did he restore his memories?" Black asks.
David says while carrying the unconscious Ryan at the back. "No, Sadly."
Chris and Sinzu rushes inside the mansion. "Man!, I'm tired. Just give me the news for later, David." Sinzu shouts.
"I would be accompanying Sinzu for the moment." Chris added.
David takes Ryan to the Laboratory and place him into a bed. Black operates the computer. David sits near Ryan and starts checking if there were any changes.
The computer is showing results. After a few minutes, the machine stops displaying data. It's gone black. David grabs the mouse and tries to control the screen. Finally, the screen displays a small window that reads 'ERROR'. It keeps repeating this word for several times.
>Memory Fusion Failed.
>Error

"MAY, Can you try to add the uncompleted memories in the solution?" Black orders the AI MAY.

David sighs, looking at Ryan. Black sits next to him and hugs his brother."Don't worry, He will be ok. Now do me a favor and take a rest as well." Black advise.
David nods and lays down in the sofa and sleeps. Black can see the sadness in David's face. His younger brother had been through so much during his life. He could even see that David loved Ryan.
Black continues tinkering with the machine and checks Ryan's vitals. Ryan seemed completely fine. He wasn't unconscious, but still resting.
David opens his eyes and saw a big plot of land and a garden. There was a tree in the middle of the garden. It resembles a big acacia tree where some lights are lightening the dark parts of the tree. The sky is dark blue and full of stars and some forms constellations around. David looks around. Then he sees Ryan sitting alone. His best friend is asleep with a peaceful expression.
"What are you doing David?" Ryan asks David, detecting his pretense.
David can't feel his excitement and hugs Ryan tightly. "What's wrong, David?" Ryan asks.
David can sense tears coming out of his eyes. He wipes off his face and looks at Ryan. "Are you okay, Ryan?" David asked.
"Yes. Everything is okay." Ryan answers with a smile.
"Is that so? Are you certain, you didn't get hurt anywhere?" David asks again.
"Why would I?, also stop panicking." Ryan says, wiping David's tears.
"I'm so sorry Ryan, It's my fault that you pick such option. Please forgive me." David says, still crying.
Ryan caresses the top of David's head and smiles gently, "You should stop worrying David, Your best friend is alright. What about you? I've never seen you this happy before." Ryan replies with sympathy.
Ryan hugs his best friend tighter and pats his head.
Black wakes David in the reason that David is crying while sleeping. David awoken and nearly hits Black as a defense mechanism.
"Ryan!" David shouts. He looks around and saw Ryan still lying around the bed.
"You are ok bud?, You are crying while sleeping." Black explains.
David sniffles and rubs his nose. "Yeah, yeah, it's nothing". He says while looking down, embarrassed and wiping his cheeks. "I just got a dramatic dream." David says, still sniffing.
They are both startled when Ryan wakes up, He looks at Black and David.
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!" Ryan shouts, panicking. "Where am I!" Ryan added.
Black immediately rushes, "Calm down. It's alright, you are safe in here."
Ryan looks at him with confusion. "You called this safe?!, That person over there probably kidnaps me, and who even are you! Wait… His company in my kidnapping. I am telling you! I watch some karate movies!" Ryan replies.
"Who are you!?" He repeats. "Who are you?." Ryan says louder this time and looking angrily in Black's face.
Black takes a step back and stares straight in Ryan's eyes. He has a hard time speaking, "I'm Black. Please calm down."
