/Ai Pov/
Date: Month of March
I have observed that Akari has been working on creating music a lot lately over the last few weeks. She occasionally studies for school as well, but she hasn't decided on a school yet. Recently, she has received some calls as well, but she always ignores them. However, based on what I can tell, they want to recruit Akari for her music, but it appears that Akari chose to be a freelancer. They keep making her offers, but I wonder if it's because of me she is ignoring them. I was fortunate to have a former boss who genuinely cared about me. Although she is still managing to get by on her own, I do wish she could become a popular idol.
But today... We're finally heading to the movies to see '15 Years of Lies'! Actually, as soon as I heard the title, I knew it would be about me as I had revealed my entire secret to the director, who is currently collaborating with my son Aqua. I'm no longer shocked by the fact that Akari was accurate to assume it was a movie about me after she saw the title was this. However, I am quite excited because Ruby, my daughter, will play me in the movie, and Aqua... I'm surprised he'll play the killer. Since he witnessed me bleeding to death that day, I continue to wonder if he is still alright.
I was excited to see the movie, but...
"Please watch over her, she is a really gentle and quiet baby", Akari smiles to the babysitter.
The babysitter answered, "Don't worry, our nursery always takes fantastic care of babies. We will make sure she is treated with our utmost care.
I had planned to watch the movie, but Akari had instead dropped me off at a nursery.
AGHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Well it's understandable, babies aren't allowed in the movie theatre anyways. So all I have to do is stay in this crib...
For two hours...
Straight...
AGHHHHH! I wanted to see the movie so badly! Especially seeing my two babies act for the first time! Aghhh, this is so frustrating!!!
I started moving my body because I was feeling frustrated.
"Waaaa! Waaaa! Waaaa!"
Two babysitters looks at me in confusion.
A babysitter questioned, "I thought that teenager said that this baby was quiet."
Another babysitter responds, "I thought so too. Maybe that teenager is just a caretaker and doesn't know this baby much."
"I guess we have to deal with this baby for the time being," the babysitter sighed.
I wonder how Akari is doing; I'm hoping she can deal with my past...
When I thought back on Akari's reaction to hearing the news of my death, I became concerned.
Unfortunately, we were unable to attend the movie premiere. To be fair, I am mostly at fault because Akari was unable to get the tickets in time due to my sudden "number 2" moment. Now I really feel guilty because if she had received it, she would have had the opportunity to meet Aqua and Ruby.
*Sigh*
I hope she is alright.

Place: Movie Theatre
"Wow!" I said as I entered the movie theater.
Even though it has been 4 days after the premiere, there are still a lot of people watching it! I saw a number of articles online stating how deeply this film affected its audience.
"I can't wait to see it!"
However, I am more interested to learn about Ai's past. I'm worried...
I walked into the movie theater room, sat down on my seat, and waited for it to begin. I spoke with the babysitter in charge of Ai before the movie began to make sure she was okay. She said that she was crying a lot, which worried me, but the babysitter told me she is doing fine.
"I'm worried because it's the first time I've been away from Ai for a while."
The movie began as I was thinking about Ai. I was hurt while I saw it. I cried but tried to keep my voice as low as possible.
"D-Did she went through this?!", I questioned myself.
I was both shocked and devastated. I was in disbelief at what I saw and was deeply saddened by what Ai had to endure her whole life. However, as I continued to watch the movie, I could see that she did have moments when she was completely overjoyed, having her two children with her.
"I wish I could thank Aqua and Ruby for giving her love."
In the movie, Ruby, who played Ai, really caught my attention.
"[I am a greedy Idol!]"
Ruby must have practiced a lot because she acted AI so brilliantly. However, I could tell she was yearning for something by the way she expressed her emotions. A lot of those around me wouldn't notice, but because I've generally had acting experiences before and like to see extremely talented actors up close, I could tell that she misses her. I completely see how she is acting like her mother while secretly longing for her love. Ai definitely would say, "Your so cool, Ruby! Well done, Tee-hee!" if she could see her right now.
I noticed some more interesting and cool actresses playing the supporting roles.
It's a strange coincidence that most of the actors in this film are related to Ruby and Aqua from what I've seen in my research so far. I recall Kana being referred to as the "Genius Child Actress" in the past. I'm a little sad that she dropped out of the new B-Komachi group because I really liked her singing.
While I was applauding Kana's and Frill's talents, who is a classmate of Ruby's at her school, I noticed Akane's wonderful presence, despite the fact that she was only a minor character.
Akane... She is definitely the most suspicious one. I couldn't help but think of her a lot when I noticed that she behaved almost exactly like Ai during the romance reality show. To be able to do so, she must conduct extensive research and a thorough scan background check on Ai. I only know a small number of people who are capable of doing it quickly. Additionally, the movie wasn't revealed when she split up with Aqua.
They must be doing more than just "faking a relationship," in my opinion. Akane and Aqua's first few months of dating were unquestionably a fake relationship, according to extensive research on their relationship and the time they spent together. It makes sense why they did it since they didn't want to harm the reality show or their own careers.
Something certainly occurred when they went to Myazaki Perfecture (Note: This is the location where Aqua died in his previous life and where Ai gave birth to her twins). One of my suspicions is that Akane and Aqua might be collaborating. However, even though I believe they are working together to find his father, the way they interact with one another is just odd. Aqua seems to be trying to become close to Akane by acting like it.
*Sigh*
I get the impression that Aqua is using her while Akane is in love with him. Well, I haven't actually verified my research yet, so I can't say whether or not that is the case. But if my assumption is correct, then... Aqua is right now terribly lost.
I took a deep breath and gave out a loud sigh.
However, I am certain that Akane was the one who helped him in locating his father.
A scene from the movie caught my attention while I was struggling to understand what Aqua is trying to do.
"[I had never really experienced love before, so I was overjoyed to finally have my own family, tee-hee,]" says Ruby.
I was startled.
"You never experience love before, huh? S-Sorry... H-Hic, sorry..."
My heart was heavy with guilt, and tears poured from my eyes without stopping.
And then that scene came...
[Ruby, Aqua, I love you. Ahh, I finally said it. It definitely wasn't a lie.]
*Thump*
As I watched that moment, I could sense her immense love for her children, which filled me with sadness and pain.
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Ai! Ai! Sorry! Sorry! SORRY!
As unexpected memories flashed in my mind, I couldn't help but cry even more.
{Hey, Lila!}
As I saw lot's of blood flowing out of Ai...
{What is it?}
Ai in the movie...
{I love you! Tee-hee.}
Died.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! STOP IT! WHY?! WHY! WHYYYY!!!! Sorry! I am so sorry Ai!
I overheard some audience members chatting among themselves about Ai's death.
One of the audiences said, "I feel bad for her, is this how she felt?"
Another audience member exclaimed, "Who the heck is the killer?! They better kill him!"
"But didn't he commit suicide?" a member in the audience asked.
Then in the movie, it became clear that someone had been sending Ai's killer details about her residence. And that person was Aqua and Ruby's father, or you might say Ai's lover.
A person in the audience questioned, "No way! Her lover gave the killer, Ai's address?"
Another audience yelled, "Her lover is a serial killer!"
Aqua, who is portraying the 'real' killer of Ai, reveals the identity of the killer as the movie's end draws closer.
[My name is Hikaru Kamiki! Your lover!]
"Oh no...", I gasped.
I then understood what is Aqua's long-term strategy was. I turned to check the people around me whether anyone else had spotted it, but nobody did. I was aware that Hikaru isn't particularly well-known, so there wasn't much news about him when the movie was released. Even so, it's just been four days and only a small number of people know who he is.
"P-Please don't tell me your plan is to-"
The final scenes of the movie began playing while I prayed that his plan would not be as evil as I had imagined. A tiny actor(In the movie, Aqua is still a child) who is portraying as Aqua approached Hikaru, presenting him white flowers and saying-
[You will regret this...!]
As the film came to a close, tiny Aqua eyes began to well up with tears. And as soon as I saw it, I understood what it meant.
"He is gonna kill him..."
At first, I assumed he intended to use this movie as evidence that Hikaru Kamiki was the murderer. But no, that wasn't his final goal. He did this to lure him!
I quickly grabbed my stuff and made my way out of the theater. And I remembered certain movie scenes in my head.
"I remember the date it showed in the final scene when little Aqua was giving him flowers. March 4, that means today! But where?! It seems they both know where they will meet up, but where? The location in the final scene of the movie is at a public park, which would be a bad choice to kill him. So it couldn't be there... Where could they meet?!"
I stopped when an idea entered my mind.
"Of course! Their apartment where Ai died! I think I remember where it was! I need to go there immediately!"
I started running straight for Ai's apartment. As I was running across the crowded road, two familiar people ran past me. When I looked behind me, I noticed...
"Aqua?"
__________
/Aqua Pov/
I'm Aqua Hoshino, the son of Ai Hoshino. As you already know, Ai's biggest secret is that she has twins, both me and Ruby. However, I ruined everything by disclosing her secret to the media in an effort to protect my friend from cruel people on the internet.
Do I regret it? No, I just felt bad about telling the secret that Ai has been keeping all her life. Ai isn't the only one having a major secret; I do as well. In my previous life, I was the doctor in charge of overseeing her pregnancy, but I was murdered by the same person who also killed her.
I was glad to be able to look after her when I reincarnated as her son, but I also felt a little awful that she gave birth to strange twins. Oh by the way, Ruby is also a reincarnated baby, so it's not just me. We were content with our lives even if they were kept a secret from the rest of the world. Only before the day Ai died.
Despite the fact that in my previous life I worked as a doctor, I was saddened and angered that I was unable to save her. Why do I care for her so much? She was, in fact, my idol in my previous life, but ever since my reincarnation, I've been wondering whether or not I still see her as my mother. However, I now understand that the reason this world gave me the role of her son was so that I could get revenge on the person who killed her.
Taking a deep breath, I stepped into the apartment, a wicked smile spreading across my face.
Am I insane?
Hahaha... HAHAHA!!!
Of course I am!
How could I not be?!
How could I forgive that person who took her life away?!
My father?
NONSENSE!
That guy is nothing but a serial killer!
I would go to hell if that's what it takes to kill him!
No matter the process, if I have to use people to reach that goal, I would gladly love to!
However, I can't kill him just yet.
I'll gradually make his life miserable. I intentionally planned this movie to draw him toward me. Because I mentioned his name, the movie will have an impact on his acting career. His coworkers have heard that their talented actress Akane is in the film, so the majority of them will watch it and become confused as to why the killer in this film goes by his name. Making people wary of him, shoving him into a corner, forcing him to meet me.
I know he'll watch the movie since his next target is my sister, Ruby. Despite the fact that he was wearing a disguise, I managed to see him speaking to my sister at the premiere even though he is aware that he was my target for this film. He appeared to be preparing to fight me head-on from the way he sneered at me that particular day. I became enraged, which just strengthened my resolve to murder him.
I'm currently where Ai life ended and where my revenge began. I couldn't help but think back on all the enjoyable times we used to have together. Particularly after she finally said, "I love you," to us for the first time. It hurts...
*Creek*
The door opened behind me.
"Well, well, well, isn't this my precious son Aqua."
As I faced him, I gave him an angry glare.
Hikaru's laughter erupted, a chilling and maniacal sound that filled the air, "Oh, this isn't how a father and son should meet, is it?" he jeered, his smile contorted into a sinister grin.
My laughter echoed, a blend of amusement and malice, ringing through the air. "Hahahaha! HAHAHAHA! Just you wait, Hikaru! This is going to be fun!" I declared, a wicked grin spreading across my face.
