Scene Two: Returning to the Future

Security Guard (comes angrily): Sir, where have you been? I've been searching everywhere for you!

Kaito: Who are you?

Guard: I'm the guard of the young master. Unfortunately, we lost him, but thank you for accompanying him.

Ren: It's okay, it's good that you'll return to your mother.

Guard: Oh, the lady is in London now, not here.

Kaito: What? His mother left him and went to London?

Guard: She's been there for a week. How could she have left him? And also, he is at his home, because this amusement park belongs to his family.

Kaito: To his family? Wait, does that mean Eri is your sister?

Boy: Yes. When I saw Ren, I wanted to know her because I used to hear news about you from Eri. But when I saw you too, I pretended I lost my mother so I could accompany you.

Kaito: This family is really complicated.

Eri: Shiroto! Finally, I found you! You scared me, you made the guards and my friends search for you!

Shiroto: Sorry, sister, but I was just having fun with your friends.

Eri: So, you're the boy who lost his mother, who's actually supposed to be in London, huh?

Shiroto: I said that to get closer to Ren and Kaito. Honestly, the relationship between the three of them is more complicated than you told me, especially between Ren and Kaito.

Eri: You said Ren, I see…

Ren: Then let's call everyone to come.

Misaki: So the boy who lost his mother is Eri's brother?

Kaito: Yes.

Misaki: What a strange family.

Kaito: It's late, we should go.

Ren: Yes, I'm also tired.

Jun: I never get tired of looking at you two, and it would be a shame to part ways, but if that's what you want…

Yoan: Jun, enough foolishness.

After we gathered, we all left the amusement park and went home. At the intersection between my house and Ren and Misaki's house, I tried to make Misaki shake my hand, but she refused. Ren shook my hand instead. That was nice, but she isn't the one—I need Misaki to shake my hand to return. I went to sleep sad because I failed.

Misaki: Misaki returned home, took a shower, and was brushing her hair in front of the mirror, lost in thought. She remembered when we were in the haunted house and she smiled. When she saw her face in the mirror, she was surprised by her appearance, saying: Oh, what is this? Why do I look like this? She shook her head and continued combing her hair.

Kaito: I was sad that Misaki didn't shake my hand to return home. Then, when I woke up, I washed my face and looked in the mirror. I found myself grown—I had returned to the future! The soap slipped to the floor as I thought: If Misaki is the key to returning to the past, then Ren is the key to returning to the future! That means I'll see Ren many times. I danced with joy but stepped on the soap and fell down.
