A few weeks ago…
Upon awakening, Alex immediately went in search of his sister and her friends.
He did not think about why he was still alive, but what mattered was whether they were alive or not.
He is currently in the hospital, but it appears that his mind has not registered his current situation, as he sees the illusion that he is still on the island.
He hit someone like a wall, but he could feel soft parts within those walls.
He falls to the ground and then looks up.
A familiar face appears.
Falling down allowed him to relax for a moment and recognize where he was and who was in front of him.
According to Alex Hambell's memories, the person in front of him must be his aunt, Erica Hambell.
Looking at her basket, it appears that she is visiting him.
"Alex, why are you here? You are still not feeling well, so let us return to your room."
However, rather than following her, he asked her a question.
"Where is my sister? Where are her friends? I need to see them right away."
Erica appears concerned about him and did not respond to his question.
"Let us head back. It appears that you still need some rest."
"No! I need to see them right away! I really wanted to see my sister!"
"ALEX!"
Erica couldn't hold back anymore and shouted at him.
Alex was stunned since he knows that she is not someone who would shout for no reason.
Realizing her action, she immediately hug him and apologies for what she did.
"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."
Alex can feel that her body is shaking so he decided to follow her suggestion.
Although he wanted to see his sister right now but he also needs a rest.
If he is in the hospital then they might be here already in one of the rooms so they go back to his room.
…
"Here, have some apple."
"Thank you."
Erica didn't peel the apple since he knows that Alex loves to eat unpeeled apple the most but before she gives it to him, she already wash it with her magic.
After taking a bite, feeling that the atmosphere is good, Alex try to asked his question again.
"Is my sister okay? Where is her room? I wanted to see her later."
Erica show a worried expression
"It seems that something is wrong with your head. Did the doctors not do their job?"
"Aun—Big Sis Erica, can you please tell me where they are now?"
At this moment, Erica finally realized what is going.
She hesitates as she opens her mouth, but eventually says the truth.
"Alex… I really do not understand what you are talking about. How could you possibly have a sister if you are an only child?
"W-what?"
"Like I'm saying you don't have a sister. I don't know what happened but it seems that you fall into an illusion or something similar before you pass out at the car accident."
"Sis Erica, what are you talking about? Don't make a joke like that. Can you please tell me where's my sister?"
Erica wanted to tell again the truth but it seems that the illusion that he caught up is too real that made think that he really have a sister because of that, she didn't answer his question because it might give him more stress.
He is currently recovering and being stress is bad for his body.
However, Alex who knows the truth is trying to resist the truth from his aunt.
"Please this is not funny anymore. Can you just tell me where their room is so that I can visit them?"
Erica is still looking away from him since she might not hold back her tears if she saw her only nephew being fall in despair.
She doesn't know who created an illusion to Alex but she will find that person and kill him.
Alex couldn't hold back and try to run away from the room however, Erica chopped his back and he fell unconscious.
The next time he wake up, his aunt already disappear since the night has come however looking at the basket full of apples in the table, it seems that what happened earlier is not a dream.
What she said is not a dream.
He is an only child?
That's impossible!
He has a sister and her name is Alicia Hambell.
'Wait a minute… that means…'
"What about Su Yan? Monica? Katarina? Schwartz? What about them?"
Alex is gasping but Erica just look away.
Thinking that her nephew might have been stuck in an illusion before the accident, she decided not to say anything.
Despite her silence, Alex realized what is going on but he couldn't believe it.
He felt that the energy on his body is getting drain.
His sister and her friends disappear.
He doesn't know what length they disappear but the answer came up on the next day.
…
Next day.
Alex's body can be healed with his ability so it didn't take a few days and he got out today.
Erica is with him but the moment they enter the taxi, he asks her to take him to the SGKS girl's dormitory.
Erica instantly remember about how he think that he has a sister so she thought that taking him to the girls dormitory might awake him from the truth.
Arriving at the dormitory, Alex saw a certain maid, a maid of his sister.
The maid wide her eyes, seemingly that she also knows him.
Alex thought this was a good sign, but when he inquired about his sister, he received bad news.
"Alicia Hambell? Who is she?"
Apparently, in her mind, they met somewhere and Alex helped her, which is why she knows him.
"How about Su Yan? Katarina? Monica? Schwartz? Do you recognize these girls?"
"I am sorry, but the names you mentioned do not live in the dormitory."
It is against the rules, but for her savior, she decided to double-check their records.
The names he mentioned do not live in the dormitory.
Finally, he says his farewell and returns to his dormitory.
Erica is currently living in a hotel, so after taking him back, she also said goodbye.
"Just call me if you need help, okay?"
And she left the dormitory.
Alone in the room, he wonders what is going on.
Why is this happening?
Where are they?
Are they alright?
He hopes they are.
He eventually reached his mental limit, and his mind shut down.
