The strong wind and rain are blocking my steps, but I continue to run towards the place I long for, conveying the unreceived desires. Ignoring the contemptuous glances from others, I dash between the streets without an umbrella.

Yuko~!!

The anticipation in my heart is completely occupied by Yuko, even the chambers of my heart are filled with deep longing for her.

Overwhelmed by emotions, I break free from restraints. No one understands the pain I bear. Raindrops fall on my cheeks, causing a pain that I have never experienced before, an eternal and lingering ache.

Unexpectedly, I stumble upon a protruding brick on the muddy road, causing my phone to fly several meters away and land in front of a house's gate!

"Who left this here... Juxi-sama?"

A girl in a maid outfit, who was clearing a clogged drain in the garden, sees my phone on the ground and then notices my disheveled appearance.

"Juxi-sama, please come inside and change your clothes quickly. Don't catch a cold!"

Feeling dizzy and nauseous, I suddenly feel no raindrops on the top of my head as the maid girl places an umbrella on my head without any intention of leaving.

Her face is strangely pale, but not cold. On the contrary, her mouth moves freely without reservation.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Yuki, don't you remember, Juxi-sama?"

The girl's complexion lacks the normal color of a human being, but I no longer pay attention to such details.

Since this is the New Hai family's residence, Yuko must be living here. I just need to wait, and she will appear by my side.

I console myself silently in my heart, don't worry! Besides her own home, she won't be away for too long, even if it's for a trip.

"Come inside quickly. If the young miss sees Juxi-sama in this state, she will definitely scold me."

The girl takes hold of my sleeve without a word and pulls me into the house. After sitting down on the sofa, she immediately prepares tea and hands me a towel.

Yuko gave me so much warmth and affection in the past, even though it was sometimes troublesome, we would still understand each other. Before this, maybe I was just a mess in this cycle? Or maybe a carefree playboy!

Yuko was always someone unattainable in my past life, and I, like a shy girl, couldn't muster the courage to speak up in front of her. Even when I finally mustered the courage to say "like," it was nothing more than a brother-like affection. I never truly revealed my feelings, and I ended up watching her painful demise in that cruel and brutal world.

But after the departing soul left the body, it regained its radiance. It obtained a chance to be reborn and meet again. However, why do I recall memories from my past life? Is it because of that girl, or...

"It's me, comrade."

That voice, so similar to mine, echoes in my mind. I secretly exclaim, "It's you again, did you bring back my memories?"

"Well... yes, do you believe me?"

At the end of the sentence, Juxi, who resembles me completely but is wearing tight-fitting clothes, stands in front of me. Step by step, he approaches me, until I can almost feel his real breath. I still can't believe the fact that he truly exists.

"Follow what I say, and I will unravel the doubts in your heart!"
