Chapter 6 - Remaining Dream Power
As the meteor lines were looking bright, we became drawn towards a single shooting star.
(Pretty...)
At that moment...
Adam: Uu...
While looking up at the sky together, Adam suddenly scowled.
MC: Are you okay...?
Adam: MC...
When he looked at me after opening his eyes, there was a vivid warmth within them.
Adam: This kingdom...
MC: Eh?
Adam: We had a party with everyone in this kingdom... We played games and it was really fun.
His emotional words caused a great disturbance in my heart.
(We didn't talk about the details of the party... It can't be... No, but...)
When I tried to hold back my rising expectations many times, my heart pounded strongly.
MC: Could it be that... you remember?
After I hesitantly asked that, Adam quietly nodded...
Adam: I didn't expect something like this happening... It's most likely because of the dreams that I left in this kingdom... The remains of my wish had linked us together.
As he looked at me nostalgically, my heart throbbed.
MC: Your memories did return...!
Adam: I remember you, MC. Your smile, your warmth and your kindness... I must have made you really sad.
When Adam wrapped his arms around my back, he hugged me tightly.
(Adam...!)
With no words to describe the happiness that was running through my body, I strongly hugged Adam back...
Chapter 7 - The Feelings I Want to Deliver
When thin clouds were spreading around in the sky, the light of the bright stars became faint... Beyond this sky, the people that are precious to Adam are waiting.
MC: Let's go back to Trugville to see your brothers. Everyone will be really happy.
Adam: I'm anxious to see everyone too, but... But, we might not make it... I don't think I can keep them in until we return...
MC: Eh...?
As he made a strained expression, I felt an uneasiness rising.
Adam: I'm doing whatever I can to keep them in, but... I can feel my memories slowly fading away... I'm going to forget everyone again... It's about to happen anytime now...
MC: That can't be...!
The overly painful reality crushed my heart.
(Even though he just got his memories back, not being able to see his brothers now is just... There has to be something...)
While I was worrying about it, time mercilessly went by. Driven by impatience at that moment, I saw a mailbox at a nearby house.
MC: Adam, do you have time to write letters to everyone? I'll deliver them for you.
Adam: Letters... Sure... With just a few words, I want my feelings to reach everyone.
When Adam and I joined forces, we immediately headed to the lodge eagerly...
......
As Adam was writing letters on the desk near the window, the gentle starlight shined on him. While I was watching from aside, his hand that he was holding the quill pen with was beginning to slightly tremble.
MC: Adam...
Adam: ...I'm okay.
Just as Adam tried to reassure me, his eyes turned red a little.
Adam: ...
Seeing him wipe his tears a few times while writing was tearing up my body.
Adam: ...I've finished writing.
MC: I'll make sure that they'll get delivered to everyone.
When Adam held out 5 letters, I gently took them. My hand could feel the heavy warmth of his feelings towards his brothers in them.
Adam: There was so much that I wanted to write... But, I was unable to write them all down. There were just too many memories that I had of everyone...!
Just as Adam's words stopped, his expression quickly turned pale.
MC: What's wrong?
Adam: Everyone's faces from when we were kids... I can't remember them... Just as I was on the verge of remembering, the inside of my head became hazy...
(Looks like we ran out of time...)
Seeing how frustrated he was made a burning irritation run through my heart...
MC: If there's something that you want to do, tell me. I'll whatever it is...!
Adam: I... I want to protect you, I want to see the World of Dreams.
When Adam held my hand, he gave me a serious demanding look... As I felt his cold body temperature, my heart throbbed greatly...
Last Chapter - Within the Light
As house lights here and there looked like twinkling stars on the ground... Adam burned that vast scenery underneath the moon into his memory.
Adam: This world is overflowing with light... It's so beautiful. I saw all kinds of sights... No, I'm going to see more from here on.
MC: Yes... That's right.
With his memories about to disappear again, Adam gently smiled. After that expression made my heart tighten, I casted my eyes down.
Adam: MC. I don't have any regrets.
Adam gently caressed my hair as if he was trying to reassure me.
Adam: With Fllayg-nii-san unharmed too, I'm living with my family. You guys and everyone in the World of Dreams made my wish come true.
When the light shined on Adam's smile, he looked the most happiest since the time we've met.
(Adam has accepted his fate. In that case, what I can do is...)
While enduring the pain my heart was suffering from, I did my best to smile.
MC: I'll always support you, so that you can live happily with your brothers.
Adam: You saying that reassures me. !
The moment a strong wind suddenly blew, Adam's expression turned slightly warped. His body staggered a little and just as I was about to place my hand on him...
Adam: Ah... They're gone.
When Adam held my arm first, he kept his eyes on me. The moment he lost his memories again, he got closer by the minute.
MC: I still have so many things I wanted to talk about with you...
Knowing that it was impossible, I wanted to wish for time to stop.
Adam: Me too... But, I'm sorry... It seems like we're already out of time. So... Just one last time, I want to put an end to my regrets.
As he sounded like he was in pain, my heart throbbed the next moment...
Adam: MC, I still have something that I haven't told you yet...
When Adam placed both of his hands on my cheeks, our faces stopped at a breathing distance.
Adam: For me who has been in the darkness to be in the light like this now... Even though I ran away many times... You accepted me... It's thanks to you always chasing after me.
Adam's soft voice made me stiffen up even more. With his memories gradually fading away, it seemed like he was desperately trying to keep them in.
MC: That's because I wanted you to live, Adam...
As it felt like I was about to let a single tear fall, I stopped speaking.
Adam: ...All that I do is make you sad. Even though something like this... makes me love you.
MC: !
The moment his soft voice made my heart skip a beat, tears finally fell from my eyes. Adam wiped my wet cheek with his thumb.
Adam: I could always look at your light many times... Living normally, smiling with you... Also, if I fell in love... I wonder what kind of happiness that'll be.
The image that he was imagining was surrounded by a bright light... My heart was overflowing with my feelings towards Adam.
MC: Me too... I love you, Adam.
Adam: I'm happy...
Even though we were happy from our feelings being conveyed to each other, tears began to flow down from my eyes again.
Adam: MC, don't cry... I'm not going to disappear in front of you... I am me.
When Adam hugged me, he kissed me.
Adam: From now on, me and my family's future... Your light... will make it brighter...
The next moment after Adam finished talking... The gentle warmth parted from me when he fell to his knees at that spot.
MC: Adam...!
Adam: ...I... I can't remember anything anymore.
MC: ...
Adam: But, there is one thing that I can feel.
I returned a smile to that eased gentle look in Adam's eyes.
Adam: Just as my memories returned, I felt the faint existence of the me before I lost them. But... We are one. Within me, I am there...
Even though Adam's smile seemed somewhat transient... Right now, we must rely on moving forward and walking towards a new future.
(Adam is here. In the past and now too... Adam has accepted everything and is walking towards the future.)
MC: The letters for your brothers. Let's hurry and hand them over to everyone.
Adam: Yeah, let's return to Trugville. To our house where my family is waiting at.
When Adam and I held hands, we started walking on the Moon Road. As we took the light-filled road to home, the stars saw us off...
