There is no more Leon.

León had rested for more than 10 hours without realizing it, his previous body simply could no longer accommodate a routine where he could sleep continuously for more than a couple of hours, stress and bad eating habits were beginning to take a toll on his health but it wasn't something too remarkable either.

"Uhh, I haven't slept so well for years, is it after 10 am? damn, if I don't make it to the office... huh? Oh right, I don't have to go to that stuffy office anymore! But then what am I supposed to do now? I should look for more information about this girl, diary, text messages, social networks, I don't even know if..." Leon had gotten up and sat cross-legged on the bed.

just as he thought about what he should do to adapt to his current situation, he heard footsteps coming from outside his room and the door opening, the steps were quick so the only thing he managed to think was that whoever opened the door had not even hesitated to open it.

"Onee-san what time do you plan to get up? You already know that Oka-san doesn't like that we're still in bed this late, I don't understand why you can't do something so simple Onee-san, sigh, go and change your clothes and stop being in the clouds!"

The girl who had opened the door had a great resemblance to her, only she did not have a gloomy air like her and she was clearly shorter, besides that, her voice was somewhat severe, perhaps she was about 14 years old.

"Uh, I'll be right away..." Leon just managed to say this and looked at the door at a sign with a neutral font that said Hanabi, so she could only assume that this was her name since it was common to put this type of signs in Japan of his world.

"Okay, don't take too long, ugh I even had to prepare the food" The girl complained for the last time and closed the door leaving Leon or presumably Hanabi with more doubts than answers.

"I can at least assume that my new name is Hanabi ... as for my old name ... forget it" with that Leon got up from the bed.

the room was not very big with about 4mx4m, from the view of the window he could determine that it was on the third floor, the room was small but it had everything necessary, also there was not much decoration on the walls so he couldn't say much about the girl who occupied it, a small tea table in the center, a single bed, a wardrobe, a chest of drawers and a bookcase with some photos, souvenirs, and books.

Leon looked at the mirror and the reflection of the girl remained the same as yesterday, if she were not like that it would have been strange that the girl had spoken to him and not reported to the police.

"I'm supposed to change my clothes, but, I guess I don't have much of a choice and need to do it."

With determination and trying not to overreact to the current situation, he grabbed neutral clothes, jeans, a shirt, and underwear, he knew the human anatomy so he could dress without much problem, just struggling a little with the bra.

"Okay, it wasn't much of a problem, coping with this won't be that difficult after all, I just raided the fridge last night and didn't even look at family members, not like I can communicate with them without knowing them, ugh, why is that? that I can speak Japanese but not remember the girl's life? " Leon was beginning to think about the little logic of his current situation, but it was not something that had an answer.

"Besides… if I enter Hanabi's body, where is she supposed to be? Also under what circumstances is it that I enter this body, now will she have to live like me in my body, or is it that she is asleep here, and will she have to share her body with me? "

León could only think of different theories as to why it had ended up like this, but if he was sure of one thing it was that if he wanted to live well he could only be ruthless and thank Hanabi for the new opportunity to live.

"I hope you rest in peace in heaven, and let me take care of earthly affairs, whatever matters are pending I will take care of it, as for Leon, that Leon died under the official papers." Leon now taking the name Hanabi, put both palms together and thanked heaven in a cynical way, morally it was despicable but in her personal situation it was something she was willing to do.

"If it takes longer to go to eat, then it will be difficult to explain, I hope and everything turns out well." Hanabi shook her head and taking a breath she opened the door, she had already heard the noise of several voices so she knew that there was more than 1 person apart from her, not only that but there was a lot of noise coming from the dining room.

"Nanae-neechan why do you keep fighting with Hana-neechan? you guys used to get along pretty well just a few years ago "

"We're not fighting, it's just that Onee-san has to take care of her duties, if I don't speak to her loudly, she wouldn't take me seriously ..."

As they spoke, Hanabi smiled forcibly, it was not the current she that was criticized but it was her who the criticism was directed at.

"Uh, good morning, itadakimasu." Hanabi didn't forget to give thanks for the food and eat at the embarrassed looks from both girls.

The older girl just looked at him for a moment and made it as if she hadn't said anything, while the other smaller girl with a delicate face and her hair in two ponytails just smiled with pity and continued eating.

Hanabi glanced at them and was a bit surprised as there was a boy of about 10 years old at the table eating silently from the beginning.

'They are a prolific family to be from Japan, so there are 3 sisters and 1 brother, who knows what the situation of the parents is but from what the eldest, uh, Nanae-chan said, the mother of this family is working'

Hanabi analyzed the family while she ate the somewhat cold dishes since she had been slow to get up and get ready, she could only pray to find information in Hanabi's room about the family and her school among other things.

"Hana-neechan, don't be mad at Nanae-neechan, I think it's just because she's worried about you that she behaves like this"

The little sister approached and whispered in her ear, Hanabi just nodded in a clueless way to which the girl smiled with relief and returned to finish eating.

"And don't forget to clean the dishes, Nanae-neechan would be furious if you don't, hehe" When she finished eating the girl said and went to put her plate in the sink.

Hanabi was surprised by her because she did not know the name of the girl, now her sister, she could only imagine how Hanabi's character was so that her sisters would not notice any change in her.

'Maybe it's just that Hanabi used to be someone low-key like me? Uh, I'm in no position to feel sorry for her when I'm the one occupying her body.' Hanabi shook her head and dropped that line of thought, if she was going to live this life she had to be shameless enough.

Hanabi got up while the boy stared at her strangely, she stopped for a moment to think and reached out her hand to ruffle his hair.

"Hey? What are you doing Hana-nee!? Tch. "

The boy looked at her with an angry and somewhat flushed face, Hanabi had no expression on her face.

'This is supposed to be a way of showing affection with younger siblings, right?' Hanabi tough.

Scratching her head to hide her nerves, she watched as the boy went to the living room and turned on the television while he was still in a bad mood, on the other hand, Nanae looked at her strangely and seeing that she had the dishes in her hand did not tell her anything.

"You know where the soap and the fibers are, don't waste soap too much, do you hear me!? With a few drops is enough, not because we can buy a big bottle do we have to use it all "

Nanae narrowed her eyes trying to be threatening but Hanabi who felt surprised to be reprimanded by a girl of about 14 years could only nod like chicken and hold back her laughter.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of cleaning the dishes"

Hanabi began to clean the dishes, Nanae went to her room after seeing that Hanabi followed her advice, she was surprised that Hanabi was spaced when looking for the soap but she already knew the deficiencies of her sister Hanabi so she did not pay much pay attention to this.

Hanabi was still surprised to have sisters and brothers because as an only child he had only been able to envy his acquaintances who had brothers, they said it was not good but at least he looked at them quite happy to have a family and they used to talk to him about them all the time, even if they were just complaints he was envious of them.

'Yesterday my mind was too cloudy to even investigate the house and the family, ugh, I must find information on Hanabi, otherwise, it will be difficult for me to adapt to this identity.' Hanabi finished cleaning the dishes between sighs.

As quickly as she finished she went to her room, the other members of the family were on their own since it was a weekend so she had some time to search for clues among Hanabi's belongings.

"Let's see what's around here… um? Let's look at the mobile phone first ... "

Hanabi searched through the drawers finding mostly some notebooks with school content and finding a drawer with intimate clothes she found the cell phone in this drawer, only it was not a smartphone but a flip phone which did not require a password.

The contact list was short with only a little more than 10 numbers saved, in this one was her mother Hanako, Nanae, Kyoko which seemed to be the name of her second sister since she was identified as nee-chan and Tetsuya which was the name of her younger brother, Hanabi appreciated that the names on the agenda were identified in the family group.

Apart from them, there were a few more numbers and even one that had Oto-san as an identification but this was outside the family group and had no registered name other than the number, also looking at the call records that had not been deleted in a long time. Most of the calls were incoming from her mother or from some teachers registered in her phone book, but just 3 or 4 from Oto-san in nearly 3 years.

"This is already a breakthrough, now we just need to find something else to know the life and relationship with their siblings, if it is that type of family that likes to remember memories of the past while they talk then I will be lost ... ugh I would have to pretend amnesia of being necessary"A feeling of relief washed over her knowing that this was not a riddle without an answer.

Maybe it wasn't much but with it, she could at least refer to her family by her name.

Hanabi was still not aware of the shadow that was under her, this shadow was making the pantomime of wiping the sweat from her forehead as a sign of relief, only being alone this shadow behaved in this way so Hanabi ignored its strange behavior and in this short period of time with only a family breakfast nobody notices it.

the shadow was just making a reminder that this wasn't the place where Hanabi used to live in the past.
