Chapter 67.3: Experiencing Memories Part 3.
The memory started.
Ichiro opened his eyes and saw him standing on a bridge while looking at the vast lake in front of his eyes.
*Sniff*
Ichiro's eyes were filled with tears.
His face was ashen, and his entire body was trembling.
If you look closely, you can see injuries all around his body.
''W-Why am I alive… Only to suffer?'' He thought aloud with a shaky tone.
He was leaning on the guardrail.
Beyond the guardrail is a fall of 50m into the lake, which was filled with sharp-looking rocks.
With shaky hands and a trembling body, he started climbing the guardrail until he was finally sitting on top of it.
*Sob*
Ichiro's face filled with tear stains while sobbing noise came out of his mouth.
''Why… Why is everyone so ruthless… I never harmed anyone… Why do they keep bullying me…'' Ichiro thought angrily while tears kept falling out of his eyes.
This month has been definitely the worst time of his entire life.
Last month his crush Amanda crushed his heart into million pieces.
And the day after that… The video of Amanda 'confessing' and eventually beating me up was spread in the school.
Result was…
A lot of bullying.
He was literally beaten up every day until he didn't even dare to lift his head up, and today he received the worst beating so far…
Amanda's boyfriend and his friends assaulted him after Ichiro left the school gates and planned to leave for home.
They beat him up till he was forced to beg for mercy.
''H-H-Have mercy!'' Ichiro cried out while the black-haired young man looked at the kneeling young man in front of him with a sadistic grin.
The black-haired young man stepped on Ichiro's head, making him faceplant straight to the dirty ground.
The students around the scene did nothing; they only turned their heads and kept walking away from the scene.
But some of the students stayed and recorded the scene with slight smirks.
The black-haired young man enjoyed this attention very much.
He is pretty much the King of the School.
His girlfriend is the prettiest student in school.
His friends are all at the top of the school hierarchy.
But there was one thing he wasn't…
The so-called title of the most handsome student in the school didn't belong to him…
But it belonged to the begging insect in front of him.
It enraged him.
Especially since sometimes his girlfriend's gaze lingered in his direction, sometimes a little bit too long.
That's why he suggested making fun of Ichiro on the rooftop.
Amanda was slightly reluctant but finally agreed.
He felt immense pleasure while humiliating him.
''Sure… I will give you mercy…'' The black-haired young man grinned viciously.
Ichiro looked hopeful, with his face filled with bruises.
''I will let you go… But you need to crawl instead.'' The black-haired young man grinned widely.
His friends also had smirks on their faces.
The black-haired young man stopped stepping on Ichiro's head.
Ichiro's face went pale; he felt very humiliated…
''Go on.'' The black-haired young man ordered while pointing in the direction where Ichiro usually comes from.
Tears started forming in the corner of his eyes; he started crawling through the ground like a worm.
Under mocking laughter, he kept crawling while tears were falling from his eyes.
The black-haired young man recorded the scene and planned to spread it everywhere.
Ichiro finally crawled far enough and couldn't see the black-haired young man's figure anymore.
He stood up, with his pants filled with holes.
*Sob*
*Sniff*
He started running through the streets while his outfit color was changed from grey to brown.
He looked like a homeless man…
Ichiro kept running until he arrived at the bridge.
He kicked the guardrail in anger; he saw a lake and dangerous-looking rocks floating in the lake.
'Maybe… Should I?' Ichiro thought, with a pale face; he walked to the guardrail and looked at the rocks below him.
His face morphed into panic.
He always had a fear of heights.
But this is something else.
He knew that falling there… It would be instant death.
…But then he thought about the memories of the past month…
''W-Why am I alive… Only to suffer?'' He thought aloud.
He climbed the guardrail and sat on top of it.
''Why… Why is everyone so ruthless… I never harmed anyone… Why do they keep bullying me…'' Ichiro thought with the face of sorrow.
''I should end it today…'' He thought, and he was about to jump out of the bridge towards his demise.
…But then memories of his smiling parents came to his mind.
Memories of Ayako laughing happily while playing with him…
Then the memories turned into visions…
He saw his parents crying their eyes out while holding a photo…
He also saw Ayako becoming severely depressed.
He saw their lives becoming dark… Without even slight happiness in their lives.
Ichiro widened his eyes; he quickly left the guardrail and fell down on the ground of the bridge heavily.
''Haahaa… Haah…'' Ichiro, with a pale face, kept breathing heavily.
His chest went up and down.
He put his hands on his face and screamed. ''What the fuck was I about to do!''
*CRASHHH*
*CRACK*
Memory shattered like glass once again.
Ichiro appeared in the dark void while he was still filled with shock.
''Surprised, right?'' The white-haired Ichiro told after he saw Ichiro's shocked face.
Ichiro dumbly nodded.
''I was close to committing suicide that day, but I am glad that I didn't.''
''I never told my parents about my bullying; you must be curious about my different school uniform, right?'' He asked.
Ichiro was brought out of his shock after hearing the white-haired Ichiro's question.
''Did you change schools because of the bullying?'' Ichiro asked.
The white-haired Ichiro smiled sadly and nodded. ''It wasn't easy to convince my parents, but I told them that the Irio's Public Middle School was closer…''
He sighed and said. ''They finally accepted my reasoning… I ran away from the bullying like a coward.'' He wryly smiled.
Ichiro clenched his fists, he bit his lips in anger.
He wasn't feeling anger towards the white-haired Ichiro…
Instead, he felt immense anger towards the students from his previous school…
The white-haired Ichiro saw his angry-looking face.
He chuckled and said. ''I guess I need to feel sorry for my old classmates.''
Ichiro looked towards the white-haired Ichiro with bloodshot eyes. ''What do you mean?''
The white-haired Ichiro chuckled and formed a mirror in his hand.
*Swish*
He threw the mirror towards Ichiro.
Ichiro caught the mirror and saw his face on it.
His eyes were bloodshot because of the anger.
His whole face was morphed into extreme rage.
Ichiro grabbed the mirror harder, which destroyed the mirror.
''Are you now going to tell me that I should not go there and get my revenge?'' Ichiro told while gritting his teeth.
…But then the white-haired Ichiro roared in laughter.
''HAHAHAHAHA!''
Ichiro looked strangely at him.
The white-haired Ichiro kept laughing a few moments later until he finally managed to say his words. ''Did you notice? You said, ''my'' revenge, you have finally accepted that we are the same!'' He said happily.
Ichiro looked shocked, and now he remembered…
''My revenge…'' Ichiro thought aloud.
*CRACK*
The dark void started having light appearing from different cracks…
The dark void was cracking!
The white-haired Ichiro approached Ichiro and hugged him tightly.
Ichiro looked surprised, but then he returned the hug.
''Good luck Ichiro… This will be the last time we meet…'' The white-haired Ichiro suddenly said.
Ichiro's eyes widened. ''What?!''
The white-haired Ichiro chuckled. ''Because we will be the same from now on… I am you, and you will be me. From now on… There won't be two Ichiro's… Only one!''
The dark void around them finally cracked into pieces.
Only light void remained.
Ichiro felt a person hugging him disappearing slowly…
The figure in front of him was fusing with him…
Ichiro looked at the scene with panic. ''No!''
''Don't be sad… It would be weird because I am you…'' The white-haired Ichiro chuckled and finally disappeared.
The white-haired Ichiro fused with Ichiro's body.
*SWOOSH*
Ichiro saw a bright light appearing in front of him, which instantly covered his figure.
Before he could even scream… He disappeared from the light void.
''Haa!'' Ichiro cried out; he looked around him and saw that he was inside his room.
He saw the light piercing through his window.
''System… How long was I there?'' He asked with curiosity.
[One night. The current time is 6 A.M]
Ichiro sighed heavily; he felt multiple emotions going through him…
Now… He remembers everything…
Every sorrow, every pain, every insult he ever received…
*Ding* *Ding*
Ichiro heard a familiar dinging sound coming from the system and multiple messages appeared in front of him.
