PROLOGUE

… "He's found," Lin informed Naru.
And then, they were heading to the lake, where some people were already there because of curiosity. Could be seen two divers on the side of the lake just finished from diving and there he was in front of them, Gene's corpse covered with golden-colored fabric, lying on the ground. Naru walked closer toward it and bent down in his knees, about to uncovered it. "Hei! Stop it!," one of the diver warned him.
"It's okay…," he replied as the two Divers were stepping backward in disgust.
There, Naru could see his brother, lying breathless. He stared at the corpse emotionlessly. But if you see closely, you could see there was a sign of relieved in his stare. Naru closed the fabric and stood up, he walked away from the lake. Mai watched him leaving and ended up looking at Gene's corpse, sad feeling creeping up inside her.
That night, she told everything to Ayako and Masako. About her dream… About Gene… When she went to sleep, she had a little expectation to meet Gene in her dream. Of course that didn't happen. She didn't see Gene in her dream at all. Mai woke up with bitter smile. 'I know that wouldn't happen. He's already moved on, he has no more reason to stay here…'.
In the afternoon, Naru's parent arrived, his mother couldn't do nothing but cry all over again when she was told Gene's corpse had been found. In the middle her cry, she stuttering. "I-i learned Ja-japanese because they were using it to talk about s-some secret…". Then she showed a photograph of Naru and Gene which she had carried along carefully. 'Naru didn't wear black clothes…. Ah, that's why… those black clothes he wears are for gene, he mourned for him…,' Mai thought as she saw the picture while Bou-san and other just gasped in surprise when know that they were actually twins.
After that, Gene's corpse that was returned by the police was cremated and brought home to England by Naru's parents. And they went back to Tokyo.
… that was when Naru said SPR is going to be closed and he is going to go back to the England with Lin. Mai only could nod, accepting it. Accepting the fact that the only things that make them together was gone. 'Will I be alone again? Can't meet with them anymore? Joking and laughing together?' Mai thought as she went back to her small apartment.
=One and Half Month Ago=
'Bzzz bzzz bzzz' the vibrate coming from her new smartphone which is given by Ayako and Bou-san on her last birthday. She look at it and saw 'Unknown Number' on it. 'Who is it?' she wondered before pick it up hesitatingly, "Mo-Moshi moshi?". She hope this better be not a prank or an advertisement or some shady call.
"Hello, Mai" the voice that sounded so familiar made her heart beating faster. The feeling of déjá vu filled her up. 'It is just like when Naru called me after the first case,' she smiled sweetly, remembering that time. The first time she meet Naru AND Gene in her dream.
"…."
"Mai?" Naru called her name again and woke her up from reminiscing the past.
"A-ah.. Yes, Naru?"
"Seriously, what are you doing, picking up the phone but weren't even checking and replying the caller…"
"…Is that what you want to talk about?"
"No."
"Then–"
He cut her off, "I want to talk about whether you want to work for me again in SPR?"
"Pardon?" Mai kind of didn't believe what she just heard.
"Are you beginning to deaf?"
"O-of course not. But could you say it again?" she started walking back and forth without any reason. Kind of scared that she just hallucinated and hearing only what she wanted.
Naru raised his eyebrows and repeat it. He could hear Mai muttered something as he said it but he couldn't catch anything. "You don't want to?" he asked as there are no reply from other side.
Mai tripped over nothing before she replied, "N-no! I want to! I'll gladly take your offer…"
Somehow Naru smirked when hearing a sound of her falling, he bet that she tripped over nothing, and her answer. Beside that. he had a feeling she is blushing right now because of her foolish action. "Are you okay?" his face already back to emotionless, even though inside he was still smirking.
She blushed a little as she muttered, "I am… Just tripped…".
"Anyway, when are you coming back here?"
"In two weeks."
"Oh… okay. Do you want me to pick you up at airport?"
"If you can drive."
"I can't…. No, then?"
"I'll inform you later about that."
"Okay."
"And, please tell Takigawa-san and Matsuzaki-san to stop pestering me."
"Eh?"
"You didn't hear me again?"
"I heard it clearly…. But you still keep contact with them?"
"Well no, just to get your number."
"Oh…."
"Bye, Mai."
"Uh-un. Bye," Mai smiled and whispered, "Noll".
