As I lay on one of the tables, I solicitously looked at the glass roof of the bakeshop and there I saw the sky full of stars; none of them shone brighter than my very own home, Planet Gioia. I couldn't help but think of my fellow Jinjileis, of how they were doing. Could they somehow be optimistic that I went to this planet to help them? Could they still be eating? Could it be that the children were still playing tagoonli under the sun? These thoughts kept on bothering me. I could feel that they were all rooting on me, that they believed and hoped that I would soon be back with a good news. But for the mean time I needed to remove those thoughts from my head because the following days, I might finally meet the boy who might be holding the key to my mission. I needed to take some rest, I closed my eyes and then, the whole place turned into black.
The place was so dark, I couldn't see my fellow Jinjileis. The Planet Gioia was devastated; it was as if a typhoon destroyed the whole place. I tried to find my parents but I couldn't find them, not even a single trace. All of a sudden, I heard the cry of a girl that I thought was coming from the carrot plantation. The girl's body was covered with dirt and there was a splash of blood on her lower left arm. As soon as I started to talk to her, she disappeared. I was in despair because I failed in my quest for true happiness, that is why, all of these happened in our planet. I was crying really hard and I felt the added weight on my shoulder. This was all my fault. If only I was more persistent, I could have saved them, but now, I was left all alone. The tears continued to flow, but then, I heard a strange sound that was new to my ears.
