"Connections are like the threads in a tapestry, intricately woven together to form a beautiful picture. Pictures, too, capture the essence of connection, freezing moments in time to be shared and admired. As the picture shows, connections form the canvas of our lives, each thread adding color and texture to the rich and vibrant image of our existence."

"Is that supposed to be-..?
The cloaked individual abruptly interrupted, his voice taking on a tone that was deep and honey-like.
"I'm sorry.. hyung.."
he spoke in an upset tone, his expression resembling that of a pitiful adorable puppy.
Kyo, caught off guard by the unexpected interjection, found himself dumbfounded. Despite knowing the cloaked man as the one who had assisted him earlier, Kyo's inability to identify his true identity left him bewildered and somewhat disoriented.
"..say what now..?"
Utterly confused, Kyo found himself responding to the cloaked individual, his confusion evident.
"Is there really a point for apologies now..?"
he asked, his bewilderment growing the more he considered the man's cryptic response.
His thoughts briefly went back to the kidnapping incident earlier, leaving him to wonder if the cloaked man was apologizing for the unexpected kidnapping.
Oh well, not like it's his problem anymore..
.. maybe.

Kyo found himself grappling for a suitable reply, his memory drawing a blank.
"I don't remember ever meeting you at all tho.."
he said, his voice tinged with a touch of uncertainty.
As he watched the cloaked man before him, resembling a pitiful puppy with his sad expression, Kyo felt a pang of sympathy, despite the.. strange yet familiar situation.
The cloaked individual's demeanor abruptly shifted, transforming from a pitiful puppy.. to a menacing presence instead.
"Hyung, Were your memories erased again by those Solitaire Ascenders?" he inquired, his tone grave and intense.
Kyo felt a surge of shock at the sudden change in the cloaked person's demeanor, which now radiated a sense of power and danger, unlike any he had felt when the man's aura was of a pitiful puppy.
"Uh.. I don't know?"
Kyo confusedly responds back with a awkward smile.
The man's tone became more aggressive, his fist clenching in anger.
"I fucking swear, I'm going to give those Solitaire Ascenders another beating they'll never forget," he threatened, his voice filled with anger.
Just as he seemed ready to embark on a killing mission to kill the syste-, Kyo quickly interrupted, stepping in to try and diffuse the tension in the situation.
"HOLD ON WHAT?—.. stop first-!!
solitaire.. ascend.. something?? Memories-?? What the hell are you talking about..?"
The man watched as Kyo's confusion grew, his eyebrows arching questioningly as he tried to make sense of the situation.
"First, You referred to me as hyung, and then there was that childhood photo... with you and.. uhm.." Kyo trailed off his words,
unsure if he was guessing it correctly with his assumption about the identity of the person in the photo with him.

The conversation continued, laced with confusion and a hint of humor.
———————————————————
"And you mentioned something about memories being erased," Kyo said, looking puzzled.
"Seriously..?" the man responded with a sigh at the end, shaking his head as a sign of frustration . "I thought you would've figured it out by yourself easily already."
"What do you mean, figure it out on my own?" Kyo asked, even more perplexed and confused.
The man sighed. "Your memoir's sight and that ability, hyung..."
….
Kyo started to understand, connecting the dots and clues in his mind as the conversation began to unfolded.
The < Remedial Calamitous > ability, with its mysterious… W ranking, now seemed to hold a greater significant meaning. He started to ponder the reason behind its original purpose, a growing conviction that the stranger who kept referring to him as 'hyung' might hold the answers he sought about his lost memories.
"What's even the connection between my memories and this random poison ability that I absolutely have for no reason-?"
Kyo asked, his voice hinting with curiosity.
The man took a moment to respond, his expression growing solemn
his eyes are fixed on the man, wanting to know for more answers. He knows that it's important for his memories, thinking that the revelation that followed would shed light on the mysterious abilities and the missing pieces of his past.
The man took a moment to respond, his expression growing solemn as he prepared to explain.
"Hmm.. The poison ability you have.. it's mostly linked to your lost memories."
"I'd say it's more like a catalyst but I'm not so sure.."
Kyo's attention was focused on the man, his eyes widening in surprise and anticipation. He leaned forward in his seat, willing the man to continue with the revelation.
"Continue on..?"
The man sighed quietly, realizing the weight of the information he was about to impart upon Kyo.
"The poison ability you possess is intricately connected to the memories that have been basically erased from your mind."
Kyo's mind was being mixed of anticipation and confusion?..
his eyes are fixed on the man, wanting to know for more answers. He knows that it's important for his memories, thinking that the revelation that followed would shed light on the mysterious abilities and the missing pieces of his past.
Kyo was still trying to grasp the significance of the man's words, suddenly realized he still didn't know the man's name…!?!
"Wait-..what's your name?" Kyo asks politely, making an effort to be kind, even though.. he didn't remember anything about him and himself either that photo as well..
He then started to ponder the circumstances of his previous position, on the verge of drowning in the sea.
The man's voice took on a saddened tone, his expression resembling a pitiful puppy once more.
"You don't remember me yet, hyung...?" he said, his voice tinged with disappointment.
There was a hint of sadness and vulnerability in his eyes, as if he had hoped for Kyo to naturally recall his name without the need for an introduction or any hints.
"My name's Sung Seong."
Sung Seong, the man's name echoed through the room, spoken in a soft, almost whispers..
Kyo paused for a bit, taking a moment to process the name, trying to recall any familiarity with the name. When he didn't immediately recognize it, he continued to ponder, lost in thought of his memories and theories.
"So this guy seems to be a companion of mine.."
Kyo thought to himself.
Suddenly, Sung Seong's voice cut through the silence, adding a surprising statement.
"You're the one who gave me my own name," he declared, his words carrying a weight of significance.
