A/N: This would happen if Alkie didn't agree with Miyako and let Eikla exchange place with him, alone.

The world is successfully regressed...

"Please live happily, A—"

The boy wakes up from a dream he can't understand. His gold eyes roams around the room he was in. Right it is his office. Alkie Hotsuin stood up and stretches his stiff body, he's starting to get use to sleep on the small couch, it will suffice sooner or later.

He didn't want to go home but, he reeks of something unpleasant, a cold shower will be good. The young man push his messy black hair away from his eyes but it seems to be deem useless as it falls back into place, he grabbed his uniform coat and placed it on his shoulders while leaving the room, locking it. Off to his forsaken household. He wish no one is awake when he came home.

Alkie didn't know when and why but, everyone in his household abhor him, especially his older sister and older brother. Was it because he's a bastard son? He cannot comprehend.

Maybe it's better if he hang himself on a noose. No, his mother would be sad.

"Right, I'll visit her later." he mumbles to himself, his mom cared for him even though she's on the hospital and in life support.

His mother was caught in an accident, he's six at that time. Those useless doctors said she won't wake up. That she's brain dead...

For a child who was told that his mother is dead, what do you think they would feel.

Sadness, right?

Well, he apologize in advance, he didn't feel anything after they told him that. One thing is repeating on his head though.

"I can't live without my mom..." his child self chanted out loud, perhaps.

And as though a devil heard him, his biological father emerges from somewhere and like a demon would do, he made a deal with the child.

He'll keep his mother alive if the child become his and the government's demented toy.

His child self knew that once he agree, there's no turning back. He can still disagree but, he'll live his life without an ounce of will to live... So you perhaps know what the outcome is.

He become something obscene, he does and doesn't care anymore. He'll care if he feels like it, he won't if he doesn't feel doing so, vice versa. Simple as that.

To live a 'happy' life or not. Doesn't matter. He'll die anyway, if not now it'll be sooner or later.

You live, You die, You live again. An endless cycle of rebirth. Metempsychosis, they say.

Memento Mori and Memento Vivere.

Well, this becomes something meaningless. Back to reality then.

Alkie walks into their house, removing his shoes and neatly placing it on the shoe rack. He came across to a scene where his older siblings together with their youngest sibling is happily eating their breakfast in the dining hall.

A nostalgic sense hit him... He wants to join but it's better if he didn't. The food will only go to waste. He can eat fries after taking his shower and leave the house. His Greasiness never fails to satisfy him anyway.

The young man goes straight to his room and bathroom, stripping there while opening the shower head. He hissed as the hot water hits his porcelain skin. He despise warm things, it hurts but it feels nice. He prefers cold things.

It makes him wonder if he became like this because he prefers the cold.

After thoroughly cleaning himself, Alkie pulls out a pair of shirt and pants, coat, necktie and a clean pair of socks from his closet. Putting them on as neatly as possible. He needs to do his laundry soon. He notes to himself whilst leaving the room, quickly.

The least thing he would want to deal with is his older siblings, It will ruin his mood, their mood as well. He wants to eat fries.

All right the cost is clear, or so he thought. The young man was walking to the porch when...

"Chief Alkie, where could have you been all night, yesterday?" The feminine voice asks in an almost intimidating way.

Alkie closed his eyes while readying himself for the verbal abuse, turning around so that he's facing his only sister. "Good morning, Head." He greets politely and bows with grace.

"What's good about the morning when you have your stupid face in my sight?" Miyako said, crossing her arms. "And don't change topic. Answer my question."

"I apologize that I have a stupid face that its so stupid, It refuse to answer any questions you utter. Well then, me and my stupid face needs to go away from your beautiful sight," The young man retorts sarcastically. Putting his shoes on and leave his sister.

Off to his breakfast fries he go.
