**Authors Note** Magic words are in Latin.

In the year 2023, on the eve of Sky's accident, a person in a hooded jacket was outside of the apartment. This person seemed like he was waiting for someone.

When Sky was running out of the apartment building, this person followed him. Looking at this person's body build, you can easily tell that it's a guy.

He just followed Sky silently, while observing. When Sky fell down the stairs, he was calm and just kept staring at the unconscious body. Finally, he reached out from his back pocket and dialed 911 for an emergency.

While Sky's lying in the hospital bed. The person who came with him filled out all the hospital-needed information. This person knows a lot about him.

But what was he doing outside of the apartment, and why didn't he call for an emergency and wait for a long time just staring at him out in the rain? Is this person a friend or a foe? After talking to the nurse, he went back to Sky's room and just sat there, staring at the moon. He is contemplating if he should help him.

Then Sky suddenly started shaking his head. He seemed to be having a nightmare and kept saying, "No! Stop! Please! Don't go!".

Seeing this, the mysterious guy decides to abandon him. He turned his back and took three steps towards the exit, but he suddenly made a stop. One word was all it took to make him stop.

He heard him calling out the name "Earth" like it was a magic word. Hearing this name from Sky gave him a lot of emotions: anger, and guilt, and made him confused.

After a few minutes in his nightmare of a dream. Sky woke up screaming, and kept clutching his chest to stabilize his breathing. He looked like he'd been running for hours drenched in sweat and out of breath. Then he saw in his peripheral vision a person standing on his right side.

"Aahhhh!" Sky screamed in shock.

"Who are you?" he asked the person curiously and continued, "Where am I?"

The guy just stared at him for a good ten seconds. He also stared back at him, wondering who this person was, as he looked suspicious just standing there and not saying anything and dressed in all-black clothes.

"Are you Death? Am I dead?" he asked, trying to get some answers.

"You wish," the guy said unexpectedly with a sarcastic tone.

He thought that this voice sounded familiar. He couldn't see the face, as the guy was against the light and it was dark in the room.

The only light that you can see is the moonlight coming from his window. When the moonlight cast upon his face. That was when he finally recognized the person and couldn't believe it was him.

"You? How?" was all he could say as he was out of words and he heard him saying.

"Do you remember what happened?" The other person asked.

"Sadly, yes" he reluctantly replied.

Then a moment of silence. The atmosphere was so awkward that both of them didn't know what to do or say. To break the ice, the guy took a deep breath and made a sigh.

"Do you want to go back to him?" he asked, and this would be the moment whether he would help Sky or not.

"What for? I'm already a fool for making a blind eye. I just want to disappear," Sky said while his head was down, ashamed of what happened.

"I can help you," he said, and took out something from his pocket and threw it at him.

"What's this, a coin? How can this coin help me with my situation?" Sky asked, wondering if this was a joke.
