Huh,I'm in the void again..

but this time,there is no Gene to greet me.

To comfort me..

To console me...

Because in this void...

I guess I'm dead.

'I'm really dead ,huh?'I thought to myself,plopping down on the floor? of the void.

It's not like last time though,I have some regrets.

Not confronting the Davis's,for one.

That whole family is ,Martin,Naru,Gene and Theo being the only exceptions.

They had me fooled.

They had everyone fooled.

Secondly,I never found the place where I belonged,Which was like the whole point of this journey right?

" Rivers belong where they can ramble...eagles belong where they can fly.I've got to be,where my spirit can run free..."

"Mai?" A shaky voice called out to me.I turned to see Gene staring at me,wide eyed.

"Gene!I missed you so much!"I cried,jumping up and running into his hugged me back,but still had his eyes wide in surprise.

"What are you doing here...I didn't call you..."He trailed off,gasped and looked down at me.

"Gene..?"

"No..."

"Gene? whats wrong?" I pleaded. He smothered my face to his chest,hugging me tightly.I could feel him begin to heart sunk.

"You can't be dead...you're not dead...YOU'RE NOT DEAD!"He cried out,hitting me with waves of sadness and anger.

"Gene it's fine.I didn't get to confront Lysander and the Davis's but at least I won't be alone in death.I won't be alone anymore..I get to spend eternity with you..."

He grabbed me by the shoulders and jerked me away from him.

"No! You should be alive! You are alive! You can't be dead!" He shouted,making me flinch.

"But...I belong...dead,Gene...there is no other place for me!" I defended."I don't belong anywhere other than here!"

At that,he shut his mouth and hugged me again.I hugged him tightly stroked my hair and whispered my name over and over. And he even sung to me,in a smooth tenor voice,soft as silk.

"My days are brighter than morning air..EverGreen pine and autum all my days would be be as twice as fair...If I could share,my days with you..."

And We stayed like that,For what seemed like an eternity.


Finally he let go of me and we stood there.

"Mai,I refuse to believe you are dead;but just in case you are I wish to set your mind at is the truth about the Davis's,the real reason Noll came to japan,and why the Davis's are never allowed to have children of their own."

I listened intently as he spun a tale of unspeakable horrors.

...

oh,Naru...why didn't you tell someone...?
