Chapter 82 - Chapter 17 (part 1)

When Hana heard that from Yami. It just makes her unable to say a word. It's a really bold statement and she was just unable to accept it. Because she actually saw how lovey dovey Aikari and Hirumi had been. But hearing that from Yami, it just makes her question herself.

"Why did Aikari do things like that? Why can't he let go of someone easily? What is it that is wrong about Hirumi?"

As Hana just thought about it. Yami could hear it and it then just made him laugh. Yami told Hana that what she was thinking is not wrong and it's not true. Because he himself wasn't able to actually understand the new Aikari. He's no longer a part of Aikari as Aikari begins to create his new self. Yami told Hana that it must be hard to understand and she didn't need to understand it.

Yami then created something with his hand, and he then slowly walked to Hana while holding it.

"Dream is something that you can't touch or feel. Not even able to remember it. It is just up to that person. But, what happens in here or that world is not a dream. This is a process to create our memories within our mind."

Yami stopped right in front of Hana and Hana's left purple eye began to shine and Hana could feel an enormous power coming from that. The thing that looks like an energy ball on Yami's hand. But at the same time, Hana could feel that power was pulling or calling for the sword in her hand.

So without any hesitation, Hana then pulled up the sword and put it together with the energy.

Then slowly Hana could see that a lot of power or data had begin to be written. It feels like they're creating something, but Hana wasn't sure what it is. But as the thing is going to get written. Yami then looked at Hana and asked her.

"This is your story. Your life. Your choice. Hana, the future is something that is about to hit us. No, you. I know that you're not going to give up easily. For the love. The power of love that gives you the strength. This is now your story. So, finish it in a way that you wanted."

The code and energy begin to resonate and it then caused the sword to shine and then a blank page appeared in front of Hana and Yami then told Hana to imagine the ending that she wanted for herself and Aikari.

When Hana heard that, it was just unbelievable. She was thinking that maybe Yami was just tricking her so he could know more about her secret or thoughts about Aikari.

But Yami could hear that and he then told Hana that he wasn't going to do something like that just because he wanted to know her intention with Aikari.

Hana then asked Yami if that had anything to do with him. But Yami then just laughed and told Hana that it was for sure that it had a connection with him. Because Aikari knows that she. Yami was his past self. So Yami just wanted to know what will happen with Aikari and what Hana's intention is with him.

Hana is just speechless about that. It somehow feels like Yami is suspecting her to do something bad. Yami doesn't know how to put it into words. But since he has been with Aikari for a long time. He already knows what kind of person Aikari is and even at first they're supposed to be an enemy; it still worries Yami about what will happen to Aikari. Because of how hard Aikari actually tries to keep Yami as a part of his memories. He knows that he can't recreate Yami and everyone that has already gone. So instead, he keeps them as his memories and makes them exist in his special box that has been entrusted to him, which is Quantum Memory.

Yami wasn't sure who is Hana. But since she was able to access Quantum Memory without any brain damage to her, then Yami knows that Hana are not just normal people. She sure has something in herself that could even create such a miracle as Aikari did.

Yami then closed his eyes and told Hana that maybe the journey ahead for her might be the hardest part of her journey in Quantum World. In order for her to get through all of that, then Yami might lend her something.

"Since you have been entrusted to a thing that not everyone should've been trusted to. Then, I shall entrust you with this too. It might be too heroic or dramatic to say this. But, I believe that you and he will be able to change the fate of this world. So, now engrave your name on this sword."

Hana picked the sword and she doesn't know why, but she keeps thinking about her name. Then suddenly the sword slowly changed. This time, the sword is shaped with the flames of silver, red, and black. Then, Hana saw an energy from that sword connected to her body.

Hana then took the sword and then looked at Yami to understand what just happened. But before she could, suddenly her sight began to blur. But she then can saw Yami are smiling and says.

"Fate, is something that we call the future. But our fate won't continue if we don't go forward. It's our decision about how our fate will go."

Hana's vision slowly gets blurred but then a touch from someone else somehow recovers it. Hana looked at it and it was Ardia. She was then just shocked by it. She thought that she should already get out of there but Ardia seems to have something to tell her. So she then heard it out. Without questioning what Ardia needs, Ardia then begins the talk first.

"I leave this to you. I also entrusted the fate of this world, you and him, to you. Because I know that you can do it and you will always make it clear."

 _-Chapter 17-_

 _-The Unbreakable-_

Hana agreed with that and Ardia then told her that it's a time for Hana to go because of the things there have been cleared. There's not much they can do for her. But there's a thing that is unbreakable, and she knows that Hana could find the answer from that sword.

Hana understood it and with that, finally Ardia told Hana to close her eyes, and she said that she would return to her original place.

Hana got it and just as she was about to go, suddenly she could hear Ardia say something like.

"Take over my place. Save him. Save this world and change your fate. I couldn't change my fate. So now I want you to do it for me. With your own fate."

Hana then could feel something wrong. But by the time she opens her eyes, she's now in the Quantum World. Hana woke up and looked around.

She then saw a food on the table next to her. Looking at the time, maybe she has slept for a long time that people just leave the food there for her. Because maybe they're expecting her to be sick or something.

Hana smiled and she then sat down and took the food. It's still heated up. Maybe it's still new. But for how long has she been sleeping after all of that?

She didn't even remember how long it had been. But she could see a dawn outside. So it must have been almost a day she's been there.

But she's glad she didn't make anyone worried. So she then just sits on the bed and grabs the food. She takes the plate and begins to eat.

"Thanks for the food.."

But as she was about to eat, suddenly someone opened the door. Hana quickly dropped the spoon and looked at it. It was Aikari but Hana then accidentally says.

"Y-Yami?! What are you doing here?! Are you trying to get into a fight with me?"

Hana stopped talking as he realized that the person in front of her was Aikari. Aikari was also looking at her in shock. Because he was processing what was happening there.

Aikari was thinking about how Hana knew or ever heard about Yami since they just met, and he was so sure that there was no way anyone could meet Yami again. But at the same time, Hana was thinking that maybe Aikari was weird that Hana mentioned Yami because maybe he had no idea who that is.

That then caused a silence between the two of them. But Aikari then broke the silence by asking Hana if she was all good. Because he thinks that it has been almost a day that she's been on the bed. Everyone was worried about her condition. So he then volunteered himself to look after her. 

But in Aikari's eyes, Hana could see that he actually worried about her. That then just made her smile and laugh. Aikari just blushes as Hana did so, and he then quickly asks Hana why she was laughing to hide his bashfulness.

Hana then told Aikari that there was nothing to be worried about. It just is there something that makes her feel funny. Aikari could see that Hana was actually laughing at him. But he just stays silent. Aikari then sits beside Hana and asks if she is all good now. So Hana then responded with a nod and continued to eat her food. 

There are a lot of things that Hana wanted to ask Aikari about. But for now, maybe she won't say anything. Because she knows that none of them understand their situation now. Hana was thinking that maybe what she was thinking about Aikari's goal is true. But how if his goal was something else. Then won't that just make her feel like she was just all playing in her own world?

But from what she heard about Aikari from Yami, she didn't think it was wrong. But then she remembered a word from Yami that says "It's our decision about how our fate will go." Hana then quickly put down her food and looked at Aikari, then a word came out.

"This... If I'm able to shape my own future. I want you to be in it. I want all of us to make it out of here."

When Aikari heard that, it just shocked him. He wasn't able to say anything. But since he could feel how serious Hana was. He then just nods and says that he wasn't sure what Hana meant by that. But if there's a way they could find a way to their peace, then Aikari will try it out. Because even for him, he doesn't like this way of life.

A life where they will need to kill someone in order to live. It feels like they're just treating each other like an animal rather than a human. But to even end it with a peace talk, Aikari was so sure that it wouldn't happen. Because he has been in a situation like that before. 

Hana saw that Aikari was overthinking about it, so she then smiled and touched his hand. While saying "I do not wish to be loved. Because I know that I will have a love that I need to share with everyone." Aikari nods his head as he hears that. That word just reminds him of someone, but he just waits for Hana to finish her word because maybe there's something that she wanted to tell him.

Hana is still holding Aikari's hand in silence and Aikari could feel that Hana is gripping it tightly. But then it slowly fastens. Hana then looked directly into Aikari's eyes and said, "But I know someone who has a lot of love inside of him. So I wonder if both of us will be able to work together to spread out that love" When Aikari heard that, he then knew who Hana meant by that was him. But to say that he has a thing like that, Aikari didn't think so. He does have a lot of people he has been close to, and he even tries to understand them. Be with them until he loses them.

All of them became a part of his memories. A part inside Quantum Memory that might even connect a million memories within it. Inside of his head. For Aikari, it does feel like a curse that he won't be able to forget about them. But the word from Hana just made him wonder if it's really a curse. Or was he lucky enough for that?

Aikari then just smiled. He released Hana's hand from his hand then says.

"Those are something I shouldn't forget. About them. Because they're a really important part of me and they will always be. But those stories don't end there. It might end soon but there's still a place. I wonder if you want to be inside it too, Hana."
