Alice's urn is not as ornate as the others, it is inlaid with precious stones, etched with various intricate decorations, and handmade from a variety of rare materials.

It was the most simple white stone box, without any ornaments on it. Not even the photo on it moves, just one photo.

Alice, who looked to be only in her twenties, smiled gently and cheerfully.

She wears loungewear and ties up part of her hair and places it in front of her left shoulder. The other part of the hair was scattered haphazardly.

And she was crouching on the ground, holding young Russell, who looked like he was only five or six years old. Affectionate face to face.

The young Russell had a fluffy bob head, wore a long-sleeved sweatshirt with a sleeveless sweater on the outside, and was politely held in Alice's arms, not struggling at all, but showing a gentle smile like Alice. The wet turquoise pupils make him look more like a cute little girl.

"That smile..."

Delphinium muttered in a low voice, frowning.

With her familiarity with Russell and Alice, she was the first to notice the problem.

The similarity between these two people is not just because they have a mother-son relationship...... If you look closely, you will see that Russell's expression is [exactly the same] as Alice.

It's because it's too similar... So after the delphinium realized this, it felt a little creepy.

And Russell guessed what the delphinium had in mind.

He explained softly, "At that time, I had not yet awakened the memories of my past life, and I would instinctively imitate the people around me. And among the people I came into contact with, the most relatable, and I think the most amazing, was my mother.

"At first, Alice didn't realize the problem. Because the child herself imitates adults, and she is also a first-time mother, she also lacks some common sense...... So until I was in school, she thought it was normal.

"Even the speed at which I learned to speak, read, and write, she wasn't aware of the anomaly. Because before I went to school, I had basically only been exposed to Alice... The tone and clarity of my speech, including the expression on my face when talking to people, are exactly the same as Alice's. She just thought I was a little clever and precocious, but she didn't realize the magnitude of the problem.

"It wasn't until I made the other kids cry that Alice first realized that my ability to learn was abnormal."

「…… How did you make you cry?"

Delphinium was a little strange: "With Alice's character, she shouldn't bully people, right?"

"I didn't actually do anything."

Russell shook his head, "Did Wolf Yin tell you before that I was naughty when I was in elementary school? But actually, I wasn't so naughty at first.

"There was a kid in the class at the time, and his actions were very special... It's funny and cheerful. It only took him a few days to quickly become friends with many people in his class. And the naughtiest person in the class is actually him, not I don't say it's a wolf sound, even the teacher remembers it wrong.

"I had only been enrolled for a few days and was attracted by his energetic attitude and wanted to play with him.

"But when I was chatting with him, because I wanted to make friends with him and envy him for being friends with other people, I subconsciously imitated his movements, his expressions, his tone, and his way of thinking.

"Then, he suddenly instinctively realized something, and began to look at me with fear, as if he had seen something indescribably frightened... Then he suddenly howled and cried.

"At first, the teacher thought that I had hit him, but after looking at the surveillance video, I realized that I was just talking to him. Whether it's a teacher, a classmate, or a parent of that child... Even he didn't realize what he was afraid of.

"'Fear just because others imitate you, is something that no one else can understand. And because I was afraid, I subconsciously hid what I learned after imitating. Instead, he used Alice's gesture to apologize to them neatly and sincerely."

Russell looked at Alice's picture and whispered, "Alice was there at the time.

"She still didn't realize the problem at the time, so she apologized in the same tone and with the same expression as me. The teachers praised me for my politeness and well-behaved, and comforted Alice.

"But that kid seems to be very inspired... It's like you're right now. He recognized it at a glance, and Alice's smiles and I were 'exactly the same.' This made him cry in fear again, and he couldn't stop making trouble.

"Because he would cry in fear, tremble, and retch when he saw me, he ended up transferring schools and leaving. I was also saddened and sorry for a friend who left me for this reason.

"One by one, the abilities and character I acquired by learning from him took his place in the class at great speed. At that time, my classmates were almost unscrupulous, and soon their impression became that of me.

"Because compared to him, who is really naughty and lively, I am also smarter and calmer. I relied on the ability to likable people I learned to imitate Alice, and my innate keen control over other people's emotions, so that my naughtiness never crossed the line, I would never do anything that annoyed people, and I always thought about mutilating the influence of jokes after every joke.

"Soon, I replaced him completely. The boy made friends at the beginning, and with almost no transition, became my friends. And I'm doing better than he does."

"For example, there was a teacher who was sad because she didn't have a boyfriend in her thirties. So on her birthday, I made a fake cake with only a shell packaging, and said seriously that the handsome male teacher next door asked me to give it to her, and he wanted to wish her a happy birthday. But when she happily opened the cake package, she found that there was only a flower carved with a wooden plank. "I smiled and said to the teacher, I'm a bad boy, I lied to you, I'm really sorry that there are no handsome guys and no cakes...... But I made this flower with my own hands, and it was a birthday present for my teacher."

Russell stared at Alice's photo, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "The teacher was crying and laughing at the time, warned me not to do this in the future, and hugged me and sucked me hard. Although she looks fierce, I can keenly perceive... The teacher was very happy.

"When Alice came to pick me up that day, she talked to the teacher for a long time. Finally, the teacher took a picture of us.

"—that's it."

Russell touched the photo lightly and muttered in a low voice:

"It was my first photograph and the last photograph of Alice.

"That's when Alice realized how different I was. She handed me over to the Bishop to learn how to behave in the world."
