Chapter 88 - Epilogue Volume III - Remi's Frustration

Iremiya's story is very, very similar to Giko's: He was brought into the schooling system with Giko and Ella, and he did just as well as his sister! He did much better in different fields, however. For example, instead of being a Mechanical Engineer, he proved to be very, very efficient to high, high areas of Math, easily blowing away each of his professors. Within weeks of the course, he was able to work at a level equal to that of his tutors. Before he knew it, he was already beginning to attend a TED Talk, one that was almost as popular as his sister's.

After earning a teaching license, he began to teach the higher grade math courses to college students, quickly gaining popularity through his pupils. He showed the remarkable ability to improve even the lowest-grading students, by being able to explain ludicrously difficult science and math equations in a way that everyone understood. He was also brilliant in working with any questions he ever came across, smoothing out any possibilities of his student's failures to zero.

After the sudden popularity in his campus, he learned that his students would sometimes take videos of his lectures in the middle of class, posting them online, for millions to see. Instead of yelling at his students like most of the other professors would, he actually embraced the idea, placing a high-definition camera in the middle of his class, filming him in each and every single one of his lectures from that point on. He created a YouTube Channel that very quickly gained millions of subscribers, due to other large video creators supporting him.

These included Michael Stevens (Vsauce), Brady Haran (Numberphile, Peridodic Videos, Sixty Symbols, etc.), Derek Muller (Veratasium), and many, many others. He often made appearances on each of these channels, and visited VidCon whenever he could. He would always answer as many big questions his viewers asked him, and no matter how seemingly confusing it seemed at first, he would always connect with people. After just one year on the site, he became one of the greatest, if not the greatest, science youtubers on the entire site. He went to many different conferences and many different talk shows throught the whole thing.

Due to the easy flow of millions of dollars from YouTube themselves, he and Giko never had to worry about running out of food. Of course, YouTube was just a side hobby for him. He also had many different ones, including studying business and law. Of course, he was already reknowned for his skills of being a lawyer, despite never having been schooled once before in his life, but this only improved when he DID take classes. By the end of it, he had the ability to prove a serial killer innocent if he wanted to. Of course, he never had to, but there was always that chance.

In business, he became one of the most suave talkers in all of business. By the end of his schooling, he was able to sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman wearing white gloves. That's not a metaphor or anything, he was literally able to sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman wearing white gloves! He was practically begged by every major company to work for them, for seven-figure annual payments. He rejected every single request, though, explaining that his main work in Math and Science was far too important for him to just begin pandering to a multibillion-dollar corporation.

Of course, these fields were just hobbies of his. He also did some major, ground-breaking things in the fields of math and science, which he also did pretty well explaining to his viewers. This included working with NASA to create the first wormhole drive prototype, discovering ancient life on Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, solving two of the Seven Millenium Problems, and proving that a portal to the 4th dimension was possible. The last of these was his most regrettable discoveries, due to him losing his sister later on.

He began to feel ill after discovering the 4th dimensional portal. At the time, he didn't know why, but it was only a week later that he began to pick up some hints. As Giko began obcessing over this discovery, Iremiya begged for her not to turn it on, having a feeling in his gut that told him something was going to happen. He pleaded and pleaded, but she always dismissed him. It began to tear him apart on the inside, as he tried his very hardest to protect her, but she always ignored the way he felt. When the incident actually happened, this destruction of his mind really bubbled to the surface.

"GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!", he yelled as loud as he could, shedding a small stream of tears as his sister disappeared from reality. He felt as if everything around him was just an excuse to prove himself to her in a way... The rest of the scientific team watched with sadness and amazement in their eyes as they witnessed one of the most heavily accomplished scientists crumble before their eyes. One of Iremiya's students walked up to him, patting him on the back as he cried to the ceiling. "It'll all be okay, Remi... I'm sure there's a way to get her back...", they said, before turning towards the rest of the government officials, shaking his head. "L-l-leave me alone!", Iremiya said, stubling towards the door leading out of the lab.

He immediately walked out of the building, towards the nearest bar. I just need a drink..., he told himself. Just anything to get this all out of my head... As he approached the bar, he saw rows and rows of motorcycles parked outside of it. He looked closer, before he discovered Matiro's bike. He looked over at the bar to find Karito quietly standing by the edge of the building, waiting for Matiro to walk out. Suddenly, she noticed him as he bawled out tears. "Remi?", she yelled to him, grabbing his attention. "What happened to you?!", she says, running towards him as he stumbled towards the doors. "I just... I need some help, Karito...", he replies, opening the bar doors.

He saw Matiro chugging a can of Beer, surrounded by a heavy, sweaty biker gang. He's still acting like this after all these years..., Iremiya thought to himself, rolling his eyes. He walked over to the countertop, taking a seat in one of the barstools. "Hey man... what can I do for ya?", the bartender asked. "Just something to take my mind off it all...", Iremiya replied, placing his head on the countertop on top of his arm, crying into it. As the bartender poured hard whiskey into a glass, Matiro suddenly spotted Iremiya out of the corner of his eye, taking a seat next to him. "Man, what are you *urp* doing here, Remi?", Matiro asked.

"*sniff*... Gigi...", he cried into his arm, replying to Matiro. He heard Karito's voice behind him ask, "What happened to Giko, Remi?!" The bartender handed Iremiya the glass of whiskey, with an empathetic look in his eyes. Iremiya took a big swig of the alcohol, before explaining, "Gigi... she's... gone..." Both Matiro and Karito's faces turned into sadness. "She's... She's what?!", Matiro shouted in shock, bringing the attention to the rest of the biker gang. "SHE'S GONE, MATIRO!", Iremiya cried, before taking another considerably sized gulp at the alcohol.

Matiro and Karito looked at each other for a breif moment, thinking of what to say. Eventually, Matiro explained to Iremiya, "Look, if you don't want to let us know about it, we won't ask... I'm sure that whatever happened to her, she doesn't want you to quit now, that's for sure!" Iremiya stopped himself from taking another drink of the whiskey, looking back towards Matiro, stopping his flow of tears. "*sniff*... you're... you're right, Matiro... Thank you...", he replied, wearing a smile on his face. Matiro turned towards the bartender. "Hey! I'm paying for him!", Matiro yelled, slapping a 20$ bill on the table. The bartender came back around, picking up the money. "I'm sure things will work out for you all!", the bartender said, before walking over to the other drunks. "Th... thank you... for everything, Matiro...", Iremiya said, placing the glass on the countertop, walking out of the bar.

"Hey! Remi!", Karito yelled to him. Iremiya turned around to face Karito, waiting for her. "Everything will work out for you! Just keep doing what you do best!", she says, wearing an expression of happiness on her face. Iremiya, smiled back, waving goodbye as he walked out of the bar, heading back to the laboratory. When he made it back, he knew what his new goal was:

"Everyone! Let's get her back!", he yelled to his scientific team as he entered the door.
