HellWitch looked at me and asked, "Can you guess what he went back for, Antares?"
I shook my head. What could be so important for a ten-year-old boy that he decided to run back into a burning orphanage? It must be something very dear to him, maybe a memento from his parents...?
HellWitch's eyes were empty when she answered her own question.
"It was his android."
...
"It was his android phone, Antares. Can you imagine?"
His phone. Lazarus went back into the orphanage to fetch his phone.
"And do you know why he wanted to save his phone? Because it did not matter whether he lost a home to live in. My brother had long since abandoned his life on earth and dedicated himself to Afterlife Dream. For him, the life that we had in the orphanage was no life at all. His true life was in Afterlife Dream.
He would rather risk throwing his real life away just to be able to go back to Afterlife Dream, day after day."
