Everything I remembered belonged to the past. I was the only one trapped in this strange new future.
The fight of that night meant the world to me. But to them, it was just a small, forgotten incident from ten years ago.
No one cared anymore.
I had no interest in the brilliance of this future. Sadly, I had no way to return to the past.
After a long deep thoughts, I asked Alfred to take me to my father’s grave.
As I stood before the mound of earth, I poured out all my grief and pain—to the only one who might still listen.
“Dad, I’m sorry. I swear I won’t fight with Alexei anymore. I won’t make you or anyone angry. Please, come back. Please, all of you, come back to me.”
“You said that when my baby is born, you’d be the one to give him a name. You said that when I came home, you’d cook your best beef brisket just for me.”
“You can’t break your promise like Alexei did. You’re my family—the closest family I ever have in this world. Why did you leave me too?”
Light rain began to fall, pattering softly on the ground. A moment later, an umbrella appeared above my head.
My heart trembled. I looked up with hope—but it was only Alfred.
