The single room with a few clean windows was illuminated by the 9 a.m. sun.

Lying on the bed, Narumi frowned, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his hand stretched out of the quilt was clenched until his knuckles were a little white.

Naturally, such a large reaction could not have been due to the mere sunlight.

The pain and dizziness that felt like being slammed with a blunt object kept coming at his head.

Fragments of memories keep popping up in my mind, like flashbacks.

When I was a child, I rolled up my sleeves by the river in the countryside and played in the water in the name of helping to wash clothes; The parents who drove the van to deliver did not return, and attended the funeral with tears in their eyes; In the junior high school, where there are as many teachers and students as there are students in the school, I strive for self-study......

But there are only a few memorable fragments, and other than that, there is almost no blank.

In the end, he sat down on the Shinkansen bound for Tokyo with his luggage, watching the scenery along the way out the window and quickly retreating......

The picture is shaky, and the scenery outside the window is torn apart by the wind brought by the train, and disappears into darkness along with the train.

The symptoms of the headache were slightly reduced, and Narumi Yu's nerves, who wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, just relaxed a little, and the next round of attacks followed.

The hand that had just let go gripped the sheets tightly, and the instinctive desire to survive made him clench his teeth and insist on not fainting.

Again, a lot of memories poured out.

Completely different scenes were almost brutally stuffed into his mind on a rampage.

a courtyard with pomegranate trees; Brightly lit classrooms filled with students with slogans like "Self-Improvement - Perseverance" posted above the blackboards; Elementary and junior high school, then university, and finally social ......

The picture gradually accelerated, and finally flew by like a movie that had fast-forwarded a thousand times, and like a high-speed train, it moved away from him and rushed into the darkness.

Until the last light also disappeared into darkness, and the whole world fell silent.

The headache gradually subsided.

Narumi sat up from the bed abruptly, his eyes wide and he gasped for air.

It's a bit of a sense of the aftermath of the disaster.

His brain was washed away by a large amount of memory, and he didn't want to think and sort out his thoughts at all, just quietly felt the reality of being alive.

The blue and white striped hospital gown, the neat and clean white quilt, and the bright sunlight is a little dazzling.

The real sight reassured him.

It wasn't until he had completely eased up that he noticed a young girl in a white dress sitting next to the bed.

The girl held her chin in one hand and looked at him quietly, and when she saw that he had finally noticed herself, her long eyelashes fluttered and she blinked.

The spring breeze blows the cherry blossoms, the summer rain wets the pond atrium, the autumn maple leaves cover the meadows, and the winter snow falls and hangs on the treetops.

Narumi Yu was attracted by the girl's beauty after just one glance, and then thought of all the good things, and couldn't help but imagine the picture of the girl enjoying all the good things.

Finally, he looked at the smart eyes with a little sorrow, and couldn't take his eyes off.

Completely subconscious, a sentence blurted out desperately.

"Be my girlfriend!"

By the time he realized it, covering his mouth was useless.

……

The girl didn't react, I don't know if she was pretending not to hear for his sake, or if she thought he was just joking.

Yu Narumi begins to regret it - saying, "Please marry me!" "Maybe it's better.

Then the girl turned to face behind her.

The white cloth partition was illuminated by the sunlight, and there was no one behind the partition, and there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the house.

When the girl turned her head, there was an imperceptible smile between her eyebrows.

She glanced at Narumi again, walked to the window, and opened it.

Narumi Yu, who thought she was opening the window to ventilate, just wanted to thank her, but saw the girl jumping from the window lightly.

……

Yes?

Click-

"Excuse me."

Then the doctor opened the door and walked in, not giving him time to understand the emergency.

"Ah, Narumi-san has woken up."

Narumi retracted his gaze to look out the window, looked at the doctor in front of him, and his thoughts paused for a moment.

Not to mention why the girl just jumped down suddenly, and how she landed from the window that was as high as the crown of the early grass tree outside the window, without any sound at all.

There was something in front of him that he didn't expect.

Did the doctor speak Japanese?

Is this neon?

Although he could understand it, the incident itself was beyond his expectations - the picture of life in Neon was only a few fragments, and it was as thin as a simple dream compared to the complete memory of more than twenty years.

The middle-aged male doctor's face was already slightly wrinkled, his attitude was gentle, and he was holding a report with handwriting in his hand. A calm speech and voice can be a good way to soothe the patient's emotions.

"Well...... Presumably, Narumi has felt it by now...... I'm sorry. ”

"If it means amnesia," Yu Narumi said abruptly, struggling to piece together Japanese characters from the few remaining memory fragments, "That's exactly ......"

"The brain that suffered a high-speed impact was severely damaged, and although Narumi Sang seemed to be blessed by the gods, the damage was repaired much faster than in other cases, and the other damaged parts of the body were also miraculously healed......

The doctor looked at the report and explained to him in detail, "But it still leaves a regret that even we can't do anything about it-the memory area of Narumi-san's brain is like a newborn baby, and I am afraid that the memory damage will be ......."

"So," interrupted the doctor's tirade, "what have I been through?" ”

Even though it still felt unreal, he reacted. He knew almost nothing about himself other than his name, and he had to learn about the situation as soon as possible.

"Narumi was in a car accident." The doctor truthfully informed the situation, "It is thanks to the driver who caused the accident that called the emergency in time to send you to the hospital, so that you have a chance to be rescued." ”

"The cost of the treatment is also paid by the driver, so Narumi doesn't have to worry about that."

“……”

It seems that he was lucky enough to meet a conscientious driver.

Seeing that he didn't ask questions, the doctor continued: "While administering first aid, we also checked with the Civil Affairs Bureau through the information on the student ID card as soon as possible, and tried to contact your family. ”

"It's a pity. I learned that Narumi San was alone. I'm so sorry! ”

"Regarding memory damage, it is difficult for us to give much effective help, so we can only try to gather some information about Narumi-san's living conditions......

……

……

Some emaciated teenagers, dressed in high school uniforms that had witnessed tragic car accidents, sat on the Tokyo Line 2 train according to the route given by the doctor.

Look at the cherry blossoms on the street outside the train window and calm yourself down as soon as possible.

In early April, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in the streets of Tokyo, and the petals of the cherry blossoms are falling one after another, attracting locals and tourists alike to take pictures.

But he doesn't have much of an eye for cherry blossoms right now.

The large number of memory gaps filled him with a sense of strangeness to the city, like rootless driftwood, floating on the water with no land in sight, undulating without direction or purpose.

I don't even know the meaning of his driftwood.
