I had a dream once where I saw a boy the same age as me.
He was sitting at his table, his butler beside him.
He had four different crows that defined him.
One was gloomy and stared out the window.
One was happy and hopped here to there on his table.
One was lazy and sat on his shoulder, doing nothing.
The last one was the loudest and kept cawing all the time.
The butler leaned towards him and whispered in his ear,
"We have found him. We can start moving whenever you say so."
The boy's eyes twitched. He looked at his butler and said,
"The sooner we move, the faster we get him."
Soon, the boy, his butler, and the crows started moving.
The boy turned around and looked at the house he was staying in.
It was an old two-story house in the old district.
His butler moved closer to him, stared at the house for a moment, and said to the boy,
"This house has become old. We should leave this and move to the new district."
The boy looked at his butler and then agreed.
Soon, they reached a river that flowed from the old district to the new district.
His butler spoke to the boy,
"Further down the stream towards the new district, we will find him."
They started moving again, this time following the downstream.
Soon, they reached an inn to stay the night there.
The butler asked the owner if he had seen a crow with a tag that read "hope" on it.
The owner simply shook his head and led them to their rooms.
The boy was lost in thought, clearly shown on his face.
When the boy entered his room, he inspected it for a second,
then sat down on a chair and ignited the lamp on the table.
He took out a diary and a pen
and put them down on the table.
An hour or so later, he realized that he had fallen asleep.
He looked around his room, then glanced at his diary.
He opened his diary, thought for a second, and started writing:
"I had a dream once where I saw a boy the same age as me.
He was sitting at his table, his butler beside him."
