When I woke up, it was already the next day. My mother was still holding me in her arms. She hadn't suddenly disappeared. She gently stroked my head, her face full of kindness. I could feel that direct warmth.
The first thing I did after getting up was to apologize to Sylvie, since what happened yesterday really wasn't her fault!
At that moment, I finally understood one thing: I couldn't stay at home forever!
But I also know one thing: the peaceful scene outside the window will not welcome me. As soon as I take that step, it will immediately turn into a terrifying hell.
I'm afraid it's all just a dream, and that the dream will end as soon as I step out of the house...
When I woke up, I was still in that room, and I was alone again...
Until Sylvie gave me a gift, what was it?
"necklace?"
Yes, I'm not mistaken, it's a necklace!
I never dreamed that she would give me something so precious...
This is not an ordinary necklace, but a symbol of their tribe, something that is as valuable as their own lives.
No! This is not a dream!
I told myself that the scene before me was so real, not like something in a dream that would break at the slightest touch.
I know perfectly well in my heart when I forgot!
I came to the courtyard again. Although I was full of confidence, I still couldn't take a step when I saw the scene that kept distorting and overlapping with the scene in my memory!
Back off?
I still backed away...
I gripped the necklace tightly at my chest, trying to regain control of my heavy legs...
But it was still no use; my feet, as heavy as lead, were firmly rooted to the ground...
Just as I was about to give up, I was lifted up by a pair of large hands. My heavy feet actually left the ground, my legs were dangling in the air, and I was lifted up like a kite...
When I came to my senses, I was already sitting on Sylvie's neck, my legs dangling in front of her chest. Of course, I knew what this meant...
I've rarely seen this scene from outside the window, and I've rarely fantasized about being able to snuggle up on my parents' heads like this and see a different world. But every time this happens, the heavy ruler of my teacher slaps me awake.
Sylvie smiled slightly at me and walked out the door...
This was the first time I had stepped outside the gate. There were several large trees drooping outside, and beyond that was a field of farmland with irrigation ditches running alongside it. It was exactly the same scenery I had seen from my window.
The dream hasn't shattered!
Sylvie walked slowly down the path. I couldn't see her expression, but it was probably pleasant.
People would greet us from time to time in the fields, and I hated it. Why did they have to look at us? They could just concentrate on their work or pretend they couldn't see us!
Those gazes felt like they were right in front of me, and I started to get nervous again. I buried my head, trying not to care about the stares around me, but my body started trembling uncontrollably!
Then I heard a melody...
"It's the song my mother sang!"
Without realizing it, I started humming along to the melody of that song...
The gazes around us seemed to clear up, no longer filled with mockery and disgust, but with warmth...
"Good morning, Sylvia..."
"That must be SEG's child! Oh my! He's grown into a handsome young man..."
“Yes! My name is Leon Cabadorn…” I replied loudly.
"How polite! No wonder he's a child from SEG!"
Sylvie's voice grew clearer and clearer, and I started singing along too, once! Twice! ...No, I could sing it as many times as I wanted without getting tired of it.
Hello! I am Leon Cabdeon!
I say this to almost everyone I see!
This is the best way to greet someone in the world, at least that's what I think.
