MEMORIZE

The long silence sank heavily. We haven't spoken in a while. I needed time to calm down, and my brother needed time to pick up steam.

So the silence lasted for a long time. Sometimes I could only hear the sound of water running.

"Mercury Road. Sit down first. Please."

Han So-young, who took her back off the stone wall, carefully said. It sounded more like a plea than an order. As if collapsing, he sat on a chair and chewed only at the beginning of the year.

After a while, when the filter was crushed due to chewing, my brother slowly lifted his head.

"…Oh, did you see the message?"

"Text?"

"No, not text."

“……?”

My brother murmured, "You haven't seen it yet," and told me to check the user information. The resistance has not subsided yet, but it gently floated the spear. It wasn't that difficult.

Soon, when a familiar spear rose in the air, a strange part was spotted. There was something glistening at the bottom that looked like a small dot.

Let's stare at something.

There is a message (Y/N))

A new window was printed out.

"Message?"

"As expected. Read it."

I was hesitant because it was my first time seeing it, but soon I reached out my hand and touched Y.

- User Kim Soo-hyun.

I almost jumped for a moment. I expected a message window to pop up, but suddenly a vivid voice rang in my head. Just like Hwajeong says.

- Suhyun will be very confused when she reads this message.

You probably know that I'm the cause of the confusion.

It's actually scary to think about how much you'll resent me when you get to know the whole story.

Being hated by you is the thing I fear the most.

That's why I left such a long excuse.

But first of all, it's true that I did something that I wasn't proud of.

Any excuse would not justify my fault.

…but if you don't mind, could you please listen to the story?

It's Seraf. No matter how many times I hear it, it's Seraf. As soon as I was sure it was Seraf, I listened.

- First of all, I want to tell you not to worry too much about the current situation.

As I am your helper, the terms and conditions prevent harm to the user from occurring.

I must say that at least I didn't do this out of malice.

Yeah, I guess so. Seraf may have lied in good faith, but he has never led me astray. Not to mention you.

I know but this was a different matter.

- After the war against the devil, I felt it was time to choose.

Same here, but I think Su-hyun must have had a complicated mind.

While waiting in the summoning room every day, I learned about Su-hyun's meaning after hearing the story I shared with a person named Lee Yoo-jung.

It opens a passageway between the two worlds.

And after years of cleaning up, he returns to Hallplane.

It certainly wasn't a bad choice.

No, it's more reasonable than that.

But anyway, once I realized that I was going back to Earth, I couldn't help but worry….

So what's the reason?

- As Suhyun knows, Holplane's users are derived from humans on Earth.

In other words, they are the same and distinct beings.

Therefore, when the two come together, in principle, it is right for the derived being to enter the body.

From this point of view, the return to Earth is in the form of a Hallplane's "user" being superimposed on Earth's "human."

In other words, the water called 'user' is filled in the bowl of 'human'.

Seraf's voice continued gradually, as if to soothe the impatient child.

- It's easy to say, but it's not really that simple.

In particular, there is inevitable separation in the "human" situation.

After decades of normal life, it's hard to accept the experiences and memories of a world that you don't even know for a moment.

First of all, it's not wrong. Didn't Cho Seung-woo actually say it? Few of the more than 40 returnees responded.

- The key here was whether the Earth's "human" Kim Soo-hyun would be able to handle Hallplane's "user" Kim Soo-hyun.

In fact, I was skeptical, but I started the experiment because it was meaningless to simply predict.

Experiment?

- Kim Soo-hyun, a human being who was just summoned 15 years ago.

The current user, Kim Soo-hyun.

Based on these two data, we ran a kind of return simulation.

And the result is....

Unfortunately, it was as expected.

As soon as I heard the result, my eyes were tense.

Not once or twice, but thousands of times.

If you got the result you wanted at least once.

Perhaps I would have chosen that method if I had.

However, the results of countless simulations were all the same without exception.

Although there may be a time difference, human Kim Soo-hyun can't stand the experience and memories of his user days, so he makes extreme choices..

…Suhyun.

The process of forming human nature is similar to inertia.

If you repeat it for a long time like a habit or a habit, you will get used to it without knowing it.

In other words, the results of the experiment told us a fact.

Kim Soo-hyun's nature, an inertial user, has gone too far to catch the humanity of the untimely days….

I groaned unconsciously at the result of the simulation. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

I didn't want to believe it inside, but I actually knew to some extent what Seraf was worried about. So when Yi Yu-jung showed signs of going astray, he tried to correct Scurep by breaking it. I'm already late, but I think it's not too late for Lee Yu-jung.

- I've been thinking for days and days.

Sometimes I stayed up all night, and when I was having a hard time, I watched Suhyun endlessly in the name of observing trends.

We also rationalized that the reality will be different because it's just a simulation anyway.

But no matter how good I try to think, I just think that I shouldn't let you go without doing anything about it….

I sympathize with Seraf's concerns. I could see what you were thinking and what you were planning for. However, the more I heard, the more questions were raised.

I'm the one who came back to this episode, and I's the one who got the zero code. Most of all, I think it's the party.

But why did Seraf suffer alone? Why didn't he give me a word?

- In the end, I had no choice but to admit it.

Human Kim Soo-hyun can't handle the user Kim Soo-hyun..

But then, an idea struck me like a bolt from the blue.

The moment I acknowledged the proposition I didn't want to admit, ironically, a new path opened suddenly….

A new road?

"Suhyun."

Coincidentally, I heard my brother's voice. He turned his eyes to the side because his voice didn't seem to be connected immediately. My brother was staring at me.

"Do you regret it?"

"…what?"

"Do you regret this situation?"

"Do you call it a horse?"

I was wondering what you were talking about. I'm completely speechless. Do I regret it?

"Yeah."

I regret it. Of course I regret it. I regret it like crazy.

Obviously, I decided to return to Earth, but I didn't want to come back like this. When Gehenna left with Suna without saying anything, I had to suffer from severe aftereffects. How much did you resent and resent Gehenna then? But I didn't mean it, I meant it, but I did the same thing this time.

To put it bluntly, I can understand that I've opened an aisle. But at least I wanted to have the least proper farewell time. If that were the case, I would have been able to sort out some emotions, and even though I had regrets, I would have no regrets.

"I can't wait to go back to Hallplane right now."

"Yes, I see."

As he growled, his brother slowly rose from his seat. He looked at me and tapped his head.

"Oh, Soohyun. As you can see, I had a terrible separation when I came back. It was beyond words.”

He stared blankly at his brother.

He asked if he regretted it, and now he is changing the subject.

What does he want to say now?

"…by the way."

It was then.

"Didn't you think it was weird to see me like that?”

The moment you continue to talk.

"Think about it. Me too. All the users who came back felt disconnected and struggled. But you...How was it?"

Suddenly, I felt a shock as if I had been hit hard on the head with a hammer.

"What…."

right

Why.

Why have they been missing so far?

In retrospect, I should have noticed when I saw myself on the train.

Why I was wearing armor, not military uniform. And why it didn't matter.

Now that I'm back on Earth, I'm sure I should have felt a difference...?

When I managed to stay focused and looked at my brother, he was no longer looking at me. Rather, he was looking up at the sky with a slightly nervous face. And muttered quietly to himself.

"Here it comes."

It was out of the blue.

My brother smiled.

"You can look forward to it. You'll understand a little bit why I was like that earlier."

- The new way is if it is impossible to add the user Kim Soo-hyun to the human Kim Soo-hyun.

My brother and Seraf's voice overlapped.

As soon as he raised his eyes according to the tangle, he suddenly stepped on a single blue light that lit the sky beyond the translucent window.

The herd of blue lights was descending exactly toward me.

A little later.

- On the contrary, it was on the way to overlay the human Kim Soo-hyun to the user Kim Soo-hyun.

Seraph's voice followed,

Flashing!

It was almost at the same time that the blue light fell to the top of the head.

"It's not that humans accept you...The user accepts human beings...?”

It happened so quickly that I was embarrassed.

- Su-hyun was completely perfect as a user, but in other words, it was safe to say that she had almost lost her humanity.

So Seraf sent me away and took me to Hallplane on Earth? That's why I was wearing armor, not military uniform?

So I changed the proposition, and the memories and experiences that Su-hyun felt in human life....

Seraf's calm voice rang in his ears.

And the gap that my brother warned me about.

- User Kim Soo-hyun hoped to be a new spark that could revive lost humanity.

More slowly than I thought.

"LOL!"

A stabbing pain struck my temple without any warning. The pain didn't go away immediately, but rather grew by the minute and squeezed the head. Like trying to squeeze something in.

- I had my last expectation, but there was a blind spot in this plan as well.

By the time he was biting his teeth and enduring the pain, this time suddenly the view was divided into two and then merged back. I almost lost my leg at the moment, but I managed to keep my balance.

- Even if human nature is safely established in Suhyun, it should also be considered that it is already eaten by the overflowing nature of the user and diluted.

Damn it, the focus is off and the intensity of the headache is getting stronger. Now, it seems like the world is spinning around the day of the day. This, this is a distinction?

- So, as a precaution, I wanted Su-hyun to feel regret and regret whenever she thought of Hallplane, and to be able to feel that emotion, I wanted the size.

In the meantime, Seraf's voice kept ringing in his head.

For five years, Su-hyun endured the longing for the person she missed,

Five years later, when the passageway was opened.

Rather than a place where Holplain can satisfy the need for slaughter and battle,

I wanted you to think of it as a hometown where you can resolve your repentance.

At that moment, I felt a sense of sudden loss of center of gravity. He couldn't overcome the joint attack of pain and dizziness and eventually knelt down. I felt a rush coming from the left and right, but I fell down and fell down.

Because that's the true humanity that Suhyun wanted....

And I closed my eyes as they were.
