Astro remembered a painful memory about his old brother when he refused to do one of the missions. Well, that was the reason for not having courage to say " that's enough ". On the other side, mr. Blake got a message for a mission.
.
.
.
.

As usual, he and Astro met on the bridge and finished their mission after they received an image of the victim and threw it in the ocean, but... throwing the dead body made Astro stares at it as if he was doing it for the first time.

" Benjamin Williams the owner of Williams companis group and also the last grandchild of Williams family found in the ocean and his dead body is distorted in a terrible way. Our interviewer..." the announcer talked in the t.v during Aelia and her parents preparing the breakfast.

* this is impossible! Of course he's not ben my friend from the high school, isn't he?... No! Oh, it's him!* with sadness and not believing, Aelia talked, then she looked at her parents who sat on their chairs at the table, but she found them don't have any clue about what does she says.

She put the last dish down on the table and went to check if it is he or not. She put her hands on her mouth from shock when his image appeared in the news as she talks.
.

* do you know him, my sunshine?* her mother talked, then she hugged her when she found her crying.

* yes, mom! He was my friend and Astro's best friend, too.* she talked during she's crying.

During that, mr. Blake was in thinking loop when he saw her daughter crying with pain over her friend who has never known about him before. Actually, he wasn't the only one who think because Astro was doing the same, too. The television is hanging on the wall in front of him and...

The other was staring at ben's image in the news with a strong guilty feeling from a deepest point in his heart while he's laying on the bed and his head raised up a little because of some pillows. You may say my dear reader 《 he can run away and mr. Blake won't tell his father》...
.

Well, his father has eyes whenever and wherever he and mr. Blake do a mission. So, his chance to run away is zero percent. That explain his staring at the ocean when he threw the dead body. Someone knocked on the door of his room, but when he didn't find any response, he opened it.

* i'm here to listen, Astro.* thomas entered and got surprised by Astro's condition who was a body without soul that stare at the t.v. He closed it and sat beside Astro on the bed, then he talked.
