Chapter 2 - the decision.

11 years after the incident, ever since we recovered from it physically, we live in the dorm the hospital gave us where the doctors would take care of us like normal parents. They would give us food, sleep, education and free time for ourselves.

Sometimes when we're free-timing, I mostly go outside and think about the stuff that happened. I wish to see my mom again. Our brother, Vyhu, also left us 2 years ago, but we have no idea why. It was probably to go out after mom, or because he wanted to avoid me since I developed eyeek some months ago. Our father was sentenced to prison for 10 years, so he is out again, but he decided to rehabilitate. Currently I'm laying on my bed, thinking about stuff like usual, when I hear a familiar voice.

"Rorizam?" Mefuo came into my room. "Rorizam, what are you doing?? I told you to do the dishes!"

"And I said I will do it later! Why are you in my room anyway?"

She wanted to say something, but hesitated. She looked away in an awkward way. She changed topics.

"Have you noticed the stuff I've been doing for the past few months?" She asked suddenly.

"...no?" I hesitated a bit. "Why?"

"We have not communicated about our feelings in such a long time, and I know that we both have the same desire, so why not just eject it and talk about it to the doctors? I've made a plan to find our mom."

"Hm."

"So do you want to?"

"...Give me some time."

"Alright."

She left. I was thinking for a long time. Is this really the way to go? Find mom? Is it even a good idea to reunite? Does she even want to reunite?...

"What do you want the most?"

"What? Who's there?"

"The thing you want most is to be with her, right? Then it's about time you start finding her. Now say her name."

"…What are you talking about?? She pro-"

"IT IS NOT ABOUT HER FEELINGS. What are your feelings?"

"…"

"Alright.. say her name. Once you do that, everything will be easier."

"...toki."

 At that moment, everything felt lighter, like I've been carrying something heavy all this time.

"Alright, I think I have made my decision."

"Yes?"

"I will find her."

"Good."

I went up from my bed, on my way to Mefuo to tell her my decision.

"Mefuo."

"Made your decision?"

"Yes. Let's find her."

We went over to the reception of the hospital and told them that we would be taking care of ourselves from now on, and they understood our point however they advised us to find a way for me to be Mefuo's legal guardian because she is still a minor and then they let us go.

Toki was out in a forest. She's wandering alone. She's thinking back into the city.

"Excuse me, but where can I find Ezveland?"

"Oh, it's just out through the forest up in the hills behind us. Then you would go through the path that starts somewhere in the forest. I could take you towards there if you'd like!"

"Oh, thanks, but I got it."

"You're welcome."

Toki is walking faster in the forest with a serious look. Then she stops and looks to the side. A cliff. Her eyebrows raised as she went to take a closer look of the view. The view was stunning. It was an open view in the middle of the forest with something that could look like a deep crater, where there's a few trees and a lake next to the trees. She stood out there for a good while, breathing the fresh air and enjoying the view. Then her smile turned into tears when it reminded her of the good times she had with her family. The tears kept falling and she sat down to her knees and started crying out loud.
