10.
Reader's POV


"Where's your necklace?"
The man asked.


My eyes widened as I looked around.
"I must've dropped it! I'll go check it outside,"
I said.


I looked around then found it. I smiled and picked it up.
"There you are..."
I said softly.


I looked up to get up, them my eyes went wide.


The people... the ones I saw in my dreams.


"There you are!!"
The blacked-haired one... who said 'love you' unlike everyone else... who said 'I love you'.


"Y/n!!"
They exclaimed.


I backed up slightly in fear.


"Yay!!"
They exclaimed happily.


"Y/n! We're so glad you're okay!! We've been looking for you!!"
A girl with short hair and a bandaid on her cheek exclaimed.


"Stupid Y/n!"
A small girl with spunky hair cried.


"How could you do that to us? Disappear all of a sudden?"
Another boy asked.


I pulled away, stumbling back.
"U-Um... who are all of you?"


They all froze, stunned and confused looks on their faces.


"No way..."


"But she doesn't have her numbers on her neck!"
One pointed out.


"She's not Y/n?"
"No, we finally found her."
"She looks just like her though..."


The black haired boy stepped up hesitantly.
"No, this is Y/n..."
He said softly, he almost put his hands on my shoulders, but he took them back.


He looked at my neck, as if to check something.
Then his face softened.


"You lost your memory, didn't you? Her family really was taken away from her..."
He muttered, his hand on his forehead as he grit his teeth.


I felt bad, I reached out to him, placing my hand on his shoulder in attempt to comfort him.
He smiled softly.


"Separated from us... and not only that...her memory and all of the connections with us were really taken away from her.
No wonder we couldn't find her."
He muttered.


I frowned.


"You can't be kidding me! What the heck?! It's true that we're alive in the same world.
It wasn't a lie. You weren't sacrificed, but...
You alone... only you... had so much taken away!!"
The tall, brown haired boy said.


"No!! You don't remember us, do you?! It's me, Gilda!!"
Gilda yelled, shaking me.


"You recognize us, right?!"
A small boy asked.


They were closing in.
"S-stop, please!"
I shouted, pushing them away.


The small boy in front of me, brown hair and chocolate eyes.


He frowned, tears brimmed in his eyes.


"I-I'm... I'm so sorry."
I said.


"Dang..."
"This is too much!!"


The white haired boy... and the orange haired girl stepped up.
A tear rolled down their faces


The boy stepped closer to me.


"Thank goodness.."
He said softly.


"Norman...?"


"Even if your memory's gone... I'm glad you're alive,"
Norman said, to which the girl nodded.


"You're eating well, staying healthy, without any injuries, smiling... looking happy... and not alone.
We were able to meet you here, and I'm really happy about that."
Norman said, smiling through his tears.


He took my hands in his. I didn't pull away.
"We've all been well. We're all going to school now.
Cislo and I and everyone are starting to feel better.
Medicine was developed thanks to the technology in this world and Adam's special DNA to suppress our side effects.
Using that medicine, the children from the mass production farms... don't need the help of respiratory systems and can walk on their own."
Norman started to tell me everything.


"Mike Ratri is a neutral person and is acting as our guardian, giving us a hand when we need.
It might be to prevent us from doing whatever we want too, but still... I still can't forgive the Ratri Clan... but we're all getting along,"
He said.


"Ayshe hasn't killed me either for now,"
He stayed and I sweatdropped.
For now? Who was she?


"Chris woke up as well."
For some reason... my heart jumped with joy.


"And... also, also... we're all working hard... to make a bright future.
I'm glad we were able to come to this world. We're all happy now.
Everything's fine. It's just as you wished for the results of your decision turned out to be great,"
He continued.


"Everything we have... you gave to us, with everything you had. But..."
He looked down as more tears ran down his face.


"Even so, I wanted to be with you... have you smiling with us,"
He said.


I can't remember...about these people, but...


Then, my eyes widened as I felt tears run down my face.


"W-Why... why am I..."
I muttered, wiping away my tears.
Only for more to come.


Though I don't know them... and can't remember...
It fills my heart with warmth.


"I wanted to see you... I feel like I've always wanted to... see all of you."
I said softly.


"We wanted to see you too... we've missed you, for so long!!"
They said.


Norman wiped away his tears.
"It's okay if you forgot. Even if you can't remember... even if you're different from who you used to be..."


"That's why... once more... and forever more...let's live together,"
He said.


I smiled brightly.
Emma and Ray added their hands to our pile.


I didn't wipe away my tears as I smiled.


"O-Okay!"
