Ray stares at the sky from atop the hill wondering how it's already been 3 years since that day. 3 years have passed since Emma left the world.

A quick memory of her flashed by. He remembered her smile as her body progressively glew a golden, soft light as she left their world.

He closed his eyes to block it away. He didn't want to be sad after three years had already passed.

Photography had greatly taken up his time so it had been slightly easier for him to handle. He still missed her though... So much
He was now 20 years old..

His closed eyes shielded them from the sun's brilliance until he heard a voice from behind him.
It was Yuugo.

"Hey, Cyclops" he said, walking up the hill.
"Still using that name for me, old man?"
"Of course I am. And do you have to climb this hill all the time? It's a huge pain."
"Yup." Ray said with a smirk.

Yuugo looked at him, annoyed.
"Why do you like it so much? Yeah, it's pretty but still."
"I don't know. It's quiet. And nice.."

Yuugo stared at the view Ray was staring at. It was indeed beautiful.

It was quiet, besides the sound of the wind and the shaking leaves.

"I came here for a reason." Yuugo said, interrupting the silence. His eyes were closed.

Ray looked at him for his answer. Yuugo didn't look back at Ray. Instead, he inhaled deeply.

Yuugo opened his eyes again as he spoke.

"We're getting Emma back."

Ray had hardly heard that. His eyes grew wide.

"Wh-what..? What did you just say..?"

"You heard me. You're just in denial." Yuugo said. He turned to Ray.
"We're going to get Emma back."

Ray was in shock. Yuugo turned around and started walking away.

"HEY!" Ray called.
"Come with me, Ray. It's time to know about the plan Norman has. And everything that we were planning in secret."

Ray stared at the man slowly walking away. He looked at the lone cherry tree one last time and ran down the hill to Yuugo with a clenched fist.

~~~

"Yuugo stop being so silent and just spit it out!" Ray persisted for Yuugo to tell him right away. So many questions fled his mind but Yuugo refused to answer anything until they reached his office.

Yuugo opened the door and inside was Norman.

He went in and took a seat at his desk. Ray went in, also, and sat across from Norman.

"Alright," Norman said. "Its time we told you everything, Ray. After three long years."

Ray didn't interrupt. He listened intently.

Norman continued.
"So, I'm sure Emma's last words to you guys is still burned in your memory, but I've asked Yuugo to write down everything she said about her situation."

Ray questioned what he meant, "her... situation?"

"Yeah," Norman said. "That day, Emma said...

'My body won't die from natural causes like starvation... or age. But if something attacked It, then I'd die.'

Which means that, her mental state would keep living on if her physical body is unharmed."

Rays eyes grew wide when he figured out where this was going.
