Today is a tranquil day. I awaken early to a symphony of melodious songs drifting in from outside. As I draw back the curtains, I am greeted by a dawn that has painted the sky in golden-yellow hues. The air is infused with the sweet fragrance of celestial blooms that blanket the heavenly meadows.

Beside my house lies a serene lake, its crystalline waters shimmering like a thousand stars, reflecting the golden spires and radiant clouds that adorn the sky. A gentle breeze stirs the surface, creating delicate ripples across the calm water.

On my way to work, I see many angels like me soaring through the celestial heights, their wings weaving a vibrant variation of colors against the azure canvas. My friends call out cheerful greetings, and I respond in kind, sharing in the joy of the morning.

Countless gardens are scattered throughout Heaven, where flowers bloom in a kaleidoscope of colors, their petals glowing softly in the light. From above, they appear as a breathtaking mosaic.

As I return from work, the golden rays of sunset envelop Heaven in a warm embrace. I stand upon the clouds, gazing out at the vast expanse. The stars twinkle like celestial diamonds, casting a gentle glow upon the dwellings below.

Suddenly, everything begins to shatter. I gasp at the surreal scene unfolding before me. What is happening?!

An unbearable pain assaults my spirit. Aaarghhhh...

I hear a child crying loudly. Why does it feel as if the sound is right beside my ear?
Waahh... waahh... waahh...

Huh... What the hell!! It's me!!! 🤯

I'm the one crying this loudly!! I was just returning from work, and then... wait, that's not possible!!!

That was a dream!! And now I find myself as a newborn!!! The memories flood back with startling clarity.

What kind of cruel joke is this?!

I have no ability to talk, sit, or walk. I am utterly dependent on others! This body's father and his mistress are the ultimate villains; they tried to kill me yesterday. So who am I supposed to rely on now?!

That boy? I don't know anything about him. What's his name, I surmise? Suddenly, someone opens the curtain of my room.

I stop crying. Oh, it's that boy. He says in a childish voice, "Hey, are you hungry?"

Am I? I wonder. My stomach growls. Ahh, it seems so. He smirks. How mesmerizing!

Then he leaves the room. Huh, where is he going? I want him to stay. As I open my mouth, I start crying again. It seems this stupid mouth can only cry. How frustrating!

He returns quickly with a milk bottle. Oh, he went to bring my milk. Hehe, I giggle.

He patiently feeds me. After feeding me, he leaves the room again. I start to cry once more.

He returns shortly after, bringing some toys. Wow, they're so different from my toys in Heaven, but they're interesting.

The boy gives them to me, so I love them. I start to play with them. Then the boy tries to leave again, and I cry once more. So he has to stay with me the whole day.

For the next few days, that boy takes care of me earnestly. But I don't know anything about him-who he is, what his relationship is with this body... nothing at all.

One day, a deep male voice calls out, "Xavier? Xavier?" as he enters my room.

So, this boy's name is Xavier. I like it; it has a nice ring to it.
