Looks like I fell asleep. The atmosphere was perfect for sleeping, gloomy and dark. I typically hate dark places, but this is alright.

Funny thing is, my thoughts are in English, but I seem to not have the ability to speak properly. I will speak gibberish if I open my mouth. Oh, the struggle.

Anyways, there's a weird feeling...No wonder the house looked older. There wasn't any holes or scratches before. It seems like I was teleported again. Same place, but different time.

I could hear footsteps coming towards me. I'm guessing it's Mom.

She went into the room and stared at me for a few seconds and started to talk. Her voice was cracking, it seems she was crying before.

"I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first, Y/N?"

I replied, "Good news first, I guess."

"Well...I got a promotion at work today...I'm now the regional manager of the Shinomiya Group." She smiled.

"That's great! But who is this 'Shinomiya' group, Mom?" I am totally confused. A very familiar name.

"Ah, it's the company I work in. Anyways we're going to have dinner at their house, get ready before 7:30."

"And...how about the bad news?" I asked.

A tear fell from her face. "Your father and me are getting a divorce."

My heart exploded. I barely knew Mom, but it still feels painful when she said that.

Mom continued, "Who do you want to be your guardian, Dad or Mom?"

I have no answer to that.
I just realized that I can speak, somehow. I should be around 6-7 years old right now. Still, very strange.

I replied, "I'll follow you mom. But to be honest I have no idea and no answer to that question."

"Thank you, Y/N. I've lost the man I love, but I can't bear it if I lost you." Mom smiled sweetly at me.

7.33 p.m.

I look around, trying to find clues, to figure who I am right now. As I said, I don't remember anything, including myself.

I was dressed up for the dinner. I need to search for some clues there as well, as this 'Shinomiya' group is quite familiar to me. Strange.

"Mom, are you ready?" I knocked on her door.

Hmm...I should ask her my age right now and my name. How stupid...I could've just asked mom for clues.

Mom looked stunning, she looked way younger than her age. She looks really happy, which I'm really glad of. I took Mom's hand and walked with her to the car.

The car, which was coloured red, looked amazing. My child side is showing. I have no idea why I get excited when I see the colour red.

I got in the car, buckle my seatbelt and had small talk with Mom. Now is the right time to ask her.

"Mom, what's my name again?"

Mom looked confused. She replied, "Your name is Y/N L/N."

So...my name is Y/N. What an interesting name.

"What's my age right now?"

She looked bizzarely confused. "Your current age is 9, how come you don't remember that?"

Oh no, she's gonna get suspicious. What do I do...

"I still thought I was 5 years old, haha,"
I replied.

Mom chuckled. "I see. You do look a year younger for your age, I won't lie."

"I'm gonna sleep mom, wake me up when we get there. Goodnight."

Mom showed me a thumbs up and patted my head. "Goodnight."

Eh?? Why am I at a indoor playground? It seems like I was teleported again, but strangely my clothes was exactly the same.

Maybe I was teleported a few hours only. I wanted to stand up, but there was a girl sleeping on my right lap. She looks so peaceful, and pretty....wait shit, Y/N...don't be a simp...I need to figure where I am and Mom.

I decided to wake her up. "Hey, wake up."

The girl opened her eyes, slightly. She looked scared. Her eyes were bloodshot, had a frightened expression on her face, and her hands were shaking.

"What's wrong Y/N?" The girl asked.

I'm utterly confused. How the heck does she know my name, while I don't remember hers?

I replied, "Why were you sleeping on my lap?"

The girl blushed, "I felt lonely...so you came up to me and asked if you wanna be friends, then I said I was sleepy
and you allowed me to sleep on your lap. I didn't want to sleep at my bedroom, it's scary there."

Hmm...strange. Since when I was so confident talking with girls?

I replied, "Oh I see. I'm glad to be friends with you. What's your name?"

The girl chuckled and replied, "Shinomiya Kaguya hehe..."

Shinomiya Kaguya...what a familiar name.
