“What is the point of life?”
No emotions laid on his eyes as he lays in his bed.
“Should I even live?”
His life full of hardships with no sight of love.
“I wonder how it would feel to die…”
His thoughts lay so calm. He just decided his life. All his training to become one of the best detectives in the world seemed utterly pointless now. He brought out his knife. Clutched it with both hands. It was only centimeter away from the center of his chest.
“Whatever I am missing, please just give it to me in my next one.”

- Chapter 1: Unexplainable Circumstances
***
“Ugghhhh*!”
Where am I?
Just then, a young woman with clear ocean blue stained eyes and shiny moon-like blonde hair appeared before me. Her angelic smile comforted me; it was the feeling I so much desired.
What is this feeling?
“I love you. I always will.”
Huh? What do you mean? Love?
She slowly left me. Her eyes shed tears as she fled away from my view.
***
“Gasp*!”
Was that a dream?
Wait… What is this place? The afterlife?
He, laying in a wooden basket, noticed two buildings right next to each other in his sight.
An alleyway?
Why can’t I move!?
WHHAAATTTT!? I’m a baby? I’m so confused…
Suddenly, an old man with snow-white hair and a clean-shaven beard stroked his chiseled face as he slowly crouched down lower to meet the baby’s level.
*jolt* Wait when did he show up? Are my reflexes really that poor?
*poke* *poke*
What the heck! Why is this old man touching my cheek?
I try to grab onto his fingers, but my hand eye coordination is seriously terrible.
*depression intensifies*
The old man stops as he notices something sticking to the edge of the basket.
“Mhm… A notecard?”
The old man takes a quick read. His face instantaneously expressed a murderous focus. The gaze from his eyes were terrifying.
“Alright Keith, you will be safe with me.”
*Hit with a sudden fatigue*
Keith? Is that my na…
***
“Abwa*!”
Crazy.
Is this really the third time this has happened?
Wow is this body frail.
(I mean you ARE a BABY after all!)
Keith is met with a mysterious bedroom as he lays in a quite comfortable candle-like cradle.
*Shook* Suddenly, two young women in uniforms fit for maids appear.
“How cute!” “Aww. His blue eyes and dark brown hair are adorable.”
“Aakil where did you find him?”
Aakil? You mean the old man?
He politely responds, “Keith was alone outside in the middle of an alleyway. I was just heading back home from my favorite noodle restaurant before I saw him.”
Keith filled with frustration burst in tears.
“Uuuwwaaahhhh!”
All I wanted was to die and forget my previous life!
This is the worst afterlife Keith could possibly get.
I wish this damn old man didn’t pick me up. I could have peacefully just passed away again.
The maids try to calm Keith down, but both struggle as Keith is filled with distressing emotions.
“You should let me try,” said unexpectedly by Aakil.
Really? That old man will carry me? Who does he think he is?
The maids gently hand Keith over to Aakil’s soft, kind arms.
Keith feels something warm behind his back.
What could this feeling be?
But once Keith notices that it is Aakil who is carrying him, he stops crying.
Instead Keith’s eyes lock onto his target with a dash of tears in his eyes.
Aakil confused by Keith’s intensifying glance starts to chuckle.
As Aakil recollects his unexpected ruptured emotion. He smiles.
“Keith. I love you. I always will. Remember that.”
*nostalgia hits Keith*
Keith unmoved, had a light aura as he took in Aakil’s caring words.
I don’t even understand how love works, but why do I want to live a bit longer in this world.
mhmmm…
An epiphany emerged. I guess I can’t kill myself with this body, so I wonder what this world is like.
*eyes start to waver*
Ugh, this body is so weak…
Keith, exhausted from shedding tears , fell asleep in Aakil’s sweet tender arms.
