No one would have imagined that behind the mask of this mysterious top dancer, there was a secret that would haunt him.

Dancing to cover the face is extremely detrimental to expression, because the very important weapon on which the expression of emotions in dance depends - facial expression, is equivalent to zero for him.

As a last resort, Gray Fantacia had to re-examine the normal sense of dance movements, and carefully figured out each movement a thousand times and ten thousand times to form a new style - without using expressions, only relying on the delicate communication of body movements, the emotions of dance can be accurately expressed.

Through the eyes, people can only feel that Gilgamesh's movements are different from those of other dancers, but they can't find the right words to express what is different. Many dancers have also tried to imitate him, but they will always find that except for the extremely difficult parts that ordinary people's physical fitness cannot reach, even those basic movements, no one can imitate the essence of this person's bones.

No one knows that the essence of each of these movements is ground out little by little by Gray Fantacia in front of the mirror day after day. Sometimes for a few days in a row, I just look in front of the mirror, practice a wrist movement, until it is perfect, as if it has its own unique language.

This method of reluctance, combined with Gray's unique talent, also allowed him to reap an unexpected by-product - one day, he suddenly found that he had not only entered the mirage, but could even control the beginning and end of the mirage through his own consciousness.

In just a few years, he has created too many miracles on the stage. People sighed, no wonder this guy called himself "Gilgamesh"!

Gilgamesh is the name of the king, the warlike ruler of the Sumerian dynasty in ancient Babylon, and because of the depiction of ancient epics, this character has added a lot of mysterious and romantic mythological colors, which is really very similar to the characteristics of this dancer who quickly climbed to the top.

However, no one knew that this name was actually given to him by Roman Christopher, and that Roman had regretted for the rest of his life that he had ever given him such a name.

Gilgamesh was the king of ancient Babylon in his quest for "eternal life". Roman hopes that no matter what difficulties he encounters, Gray will not forget his love and pursue it like Gilgamesh to achieve artistic immortality.

Even though the two of them stumbled from small to large, Roman was still the closest person to Gray's pain and his heart.

However, Roman forgets the end of the epic - Gilgamesh's quest is ultimately a failure, and for humanity, eternal life simply does not exist.

With the passage of time, my father's health gradually improved, but he was still unable to return to the state of artistic creation. Later, with the introduction and insistence of family and friends, Joseph Fantasia and Ana Fantasia got married, and this woman became Gray's stepmother.

Anna was a gentle woman and sincerely admired and respected Joseph. She had a failed marriage, and she was followed to the house by a girl a few years younger than Gray, named Angela.

Gray has no objection to his father's remarriage, because his father's body really needs someone who can truly understand and care for him in every way. Perhaps, this is also the wish of the mother who is in heaven.

What's more, judging from his father's daily life, he has never forgotten Gray's deceased mother for a day.

So Gray's role at home is that of a gentle and tame ordinary boy. He treats his stepmother with respect and care, and the family lives quietly and well.

Seeing his father's better and better physical condition, the flame secretly burning in Gray's heart intensified. He is looking forward to the day when his father can get completely better, and he can be released from this heavy shackle, no longer have to practice secretly, no longer have to secretly go on stage, so that his body and mind can truly and completely belong to the stage!

Despite losing his beloved mother too early, and despite his own uneasy path to dance, Gray has always been grateful for the gift of fate. I am grateful that I was born in this world, that I was able to get involved with dance, that I have good talent and physical conditions, and that I have the best enlightenment teacher in the world. He believes that as long as he keeps pursuing it, he will one day get the best reward from fate.

However, the reward of fate is sometimes not just a gift, but also a huge and ridiculous joke.

It all came to an abrupt end when Gray was seventeen.

At that time, everything was just getting back on track, and Gilgamesh was at the top of his game on stage. Everything went well, and I always felt that the opportunity to appear on stage was not far away.

However, that day, Angela, who was still a child, suddenly ran up on the road, chasing a dog crossing the street, a very fast car sped over, Gray instinctively rushed up, pushed Angela away, but he was hit by the car and flew out.

It was this car accident that shattered the possibility of him appearing on the stage again.

After all, he is a master of dancers, and his body's instinctive reaction in a moment of crisis saved Gray's life. But everything happened so fast that it was impossible to completely dodge. Other injuries to the body are better said, the most serious is a severe comminuted fracture of the right leg.

For a long, long time afterward, Gray spent his life in the hospital.

First of all, it is the best hospital in Nishinokuni, but it is unknown whether it can stand up and walk in the future just to ensure that this right leg will not be amputated. Later, it was Holden, the headmaster of the old Northern Capital School Park with Joseph Fantaxia, who, after hearing about it, introduced Gray to a clever doctor, that is, Sammy Oakland, whom Shaida later met.

So, later, the family simply sent Gray to live in the North Country so that he could better receive treatment.

Gray underwent more than twenty surgeries on his leg, large and small, and it took him two full years before he was able to walk like a normal person. As a result of the use of large doses of drugs, Gray was left with permanent neurological dysfunction in his right leg at the cost of being able to walk, which was the pain that would always accompany him.

The pain of this period of time is indescribable, both physical and spiritual. In short, it was a real hell!

After learning of Gray's relationship with Gilgamesh, Joseph Fantaasia, who had gray hair overnight, sat on the edge of his hospital bed, holding his hand with tears in his eyes, and repented of what had stopped him from dancing. And Angela cried even more breathlessly, swearing that brother, I want to be a person who stands on the stage like you.

And the young Angela really did it, she started practicing dance the next day, rain or shine, for five years.

That part of the mental journey that had died and came back to life, Gray did not want to touch again. In short, there is no longer Gilgamesh in the world, but Gray Fantacia as a choreographer.

It was a choice he himself made in purgatory.

If fate is destined to break his arms, then he will not give up hugging his beloved. He decided to embrace it in a different way, without hands, with his heart.
