After Grandpa called him, Ansel went straight home. In front of the door, he just stood by. He didn't has any courage to face all the reality that would happen. It was a hard responsibility for him.

He also knew all of his responsibilities. Because, he had brought Heka in by himself. He offered to open the door for Heka. However, the dread covered him.

There was one word that described Ansel's current feelings, "regret". Therefore, he knew as far as possible he was running away, his fate would definitely follow him.

His hands trembled when he wanted to open the door. Tears came out. Finally, it came out profusely.

Then, he took a step back from the door. Ansel felt his steps felt very heavy. He turned around and ran away. He didn't mean to run away. He just wasn't ready enough to face anything.

Ansel continued to run. His tears kept flowing down. He accelerated his run with all his might.

Until he stopped when his legs were tired for running. His head looked up. He stared up at the sky. The sky was sunny. His eyes felt warm after being exposed to the sun.

Then, he stopped crying. As the sunlight had taken his tears. It evaporated into the sky.

His eyes continued to stare at the sky. His entire eyes and mind were centered on the sun. It made him lose control, and he had a precognition of a Bloody Marriage.

The sun that had been bright slowly began to dim and overcast. After a long time, the sunlight decreased and made the sky darker.

There were raindrops from the sky. He put his hand above his head. He caught the rain until it was full. After that, he spilled it right at his head. Then, it turned into blood.

Ansel gasped and woke up from precognition. He quickly turned around and headed home. He walked quickly.

He arrived and was in front of the house. He opened the door. He went straight to the kitchen. He saw Heka and his Grandpa. "Grandpa, I'm home!!! " Ansel exclaimed. They were drinking hot chocolate.

"Heka, you've come!!!" Ansel said to Heka with a happy expression. He was happy that Heka had come to his house. Meanwhile, Heka just gave a big smile without any words.

When Ansel looked at Heka, he could feel every slide of pain. He did not think that Heka had to endure such great suffering. Although he was not a bad person. But he had to accept awful karma.

Ansel sat next to Heka. He held Heka's hand. Heka's hand felt cold. Even though Heka's hand held a cup. The cup was warm, but it didn't affect his body at all.

He felt a pulse. The cold that had smothered Heka's hands had disappeared. He let go of his hand.

He knew very well what would happen to Heka. It caused his hands to feel cold. But he was deliberately silent and did not bring it up. He thought it was better if he kept silent. It made everything get worse if he said something.

"Heka, don't worry. Everything will definitely go well. Don't be afraid and worried, leave everything to Grandpa. After that you will definitely return to normal," Ansel said to make Heka calm.

"I know and I believe that. That's why I came."

Ansel smiled, "Did Grandpa told you what will happen and what you have to do to receive Soul Delivery?"

Heka replied with a nod.

Grandpa hit Ansel's head with a spoon, "You better prepare everything."

"Okay!!!" Ansel exclaimed excitedly. H felt that Grandpa's hunch was quite painful. He can stand it.

"What about my order?" Grandpa asked Ansel.

"Don't worry, everything is fine." Ansel replied, then his gaze turned to Heka. He looked into Heka's eyes, "Hey, did you sleep last night?"

"No." Heka answered briefly.

"You must be tired. Then I'll prepare everything first. Grandpa, I'm in upstairs."

Then Ansel just left. Actually, he dint has any intention just for leaving by. But it was better, because he'd been too tired to get precognition again and again.

The only way to end it was to move quickly. So, the time seemed to pass quickly. What he saw was what definitely happened.

Ansel was in his brother's room, Hansel. The room would be prepared for Heka for a while.

Although his brother had died, he always looked after Hansel's room. He cleaned it regularly. So, all his brother's stuffs were well-preserved.

Ansel sat on the bed. He kept a photo in his hand. The photo was one of his memories with his brother.

He just looked at the photo, to vent his longing for his brother. But he really hoped that time could recur again. So, he had more time to spend time with his brother.

"Hansel, what I have done is a mistake? Is this too hard for me? I feel so struggling with my recognition. It makes my energy be drained. Do you think I can get through it?"

Ansel closed his eyes and tried to communicate with his brother. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10." He counted to ten, after that he opened his eyes because he wished that he could make a commutation with his brother. In fact, it was nothing.

He took a deep breath and got up from bed. He opened the cupboard and took out the sheet and blanket.

After he installed new sheet, he opened the window., Then there was a very strong wind coming in. The wind was cold. It meant a spirit entering, because the strong wind that just blew, it did not shake any objects, not even the curtains.

"Hansel, is that you?"

Ansel just guessed because the spirit did not show his form at all. He also tried to feel the smell of the incoming spirit. There was no sign of anything that related to his brother. That meant that it wasn't his brother who entered the room.

Ansel didn't even want to think about who it was. For him, the most important thing was to help Heka. He tried not to be easily distracted by anything else.

He closed the window again and left Hansel's room.

As soon as he closed the door, he realized he saw a black shadow beside the door. He opened the door quickly to find out what the shadow was.

But the black shadow behind the door disappeared. He looked around the room. It turned out to be true, there was a spirit that entered. It was under the bed.

Since, he felt that the spirit was completely harmless, it meant there was nothing he needed to worry about. Ansel closed Hansel's room and left.
