The last time, Rémi took the girls to go shopping at PIER 39. Soon as the day was going well, I started to remember a small fragment of a memory of Rémi about to kiss me at the PIER 39 in secret. The three ordered food and rushed back. When they get back their father forces Rémi to do an impossible task. It was filing and organizing his office papers. I went downstairs to see what my dad did.
Rémi let me help you. I replied. Sure, thanks Lily. Rémi replied. He smiled. His smile triggered a fragment of memory. "Stop letting my dad treat you like this, Rémi." "As much as I'd like too, I'm actually indebted to your father, Lily..." The memory just stopped. Are you ok, Lily? Rémi asked. I'm fine, can I ask you a question, Rémi? I asked. Yes. Rémi asked. What are you indebted to my father for? I asked. So you are starting to remember. That's what I feared. Rémi replied. What are talking about? Isn't it good I am remembering? I asked. No. Rémi yelled. As he yelled it frightened me. I'm sorry to frighten you. I rather that you forget, instead. Rémi replied. He knows something. He's not telling me. A few hours have passed, we finished. I slipped on the floor. Rémi grabbed my hand. Thank you, Rémi. I replied. He looked at me with concerning eyes. You actually got a press pin in your knee. Rémi replied. What? I asked. Looking down, I saw the blood flowing. I started to cry. Before you freak out and panic. Let me get the first aid box. Rémi replied. He pulled it out and rubbed the area with an alcohol wipe and put on the band-aid. Thank you. I replied. Rémi smiled. Just what did you just do with my daughter? Minato asked. It's not what you think. Rémi replied. Why is she crying? Minato replied. Dad, I got a push pin in my knee. He took it out. Rémi cleaned the wound and put a band-aid on it. I replied. Is this true, Rémi? Minato asked. Yes, sir. Rémi replied. Is seen you did what I asked. Tell me, why were push pins on the floor? Minato asked. Dad, why are verbally bullying him? Give him a break. I replied. I glared at him. That's the same look he gave him whenever it came to him. That's your mom seeping through you. Minato replied. He looked at me with such disgust. Rémi looked as I looked him dad in the eyes and walked off. I grabbed Rémi's hand. Where are you going with him? Minato asked. I am going to the Bay Area. I replied. What? Rémi asked. Mai texted Rémi. Go to the Bay Area with her. You don't know what can happen next? You work harder than anyone. Also, you know her better than anyone.
Alright, I will go to the Bay Area. Rémi replied. He smiles. Did I just see Rémi smile? Yoshio asked. Come on. I replied. Let go of my arm, Lily. Remi replied. He walked outside. Come on, Rémi. I replied. I'm coming just wait a minute. Rémi replied. After all, Lily always knows how to make him smile. Mai replied. He has always secretly had feelings for her since we all were kids. Who knows this time he might get his chance with her this time around. Yoshio replied. Rémi was given to dad as collateral for his father gambling debts. Mai replied. I know but what happened to her really f**ked him up. In a way he feels this is all his fault. Yoshio replied. He deserves happiness. Mai replied. He opened his car and I jumped in. Rémi started the car.
