“Cannot be!” yelled Keiko while taking one step back.
His round eyes widened, hesitantly looking for a joking experection in Andrew's face, as it usually appears when the man was teasing him. Unfortunately, only seriousness was depicted in that beautiful face.
“K-you ... You're kidding right?” ask the girl again very softly. His voice was almost inaudible.
Andrew looked at the movements of the girl's lips before him, and realized the confusion emanating from his face.
The man smiled faintly and said, “I can't take good care of you so I must lose you. I'm not willing and swear to look for you in the next life. I've been looking for you for so long ..too long that I feel like I've gone crazy. Then ... we meet at Furukawa museum ...”
Keiko shook her head quickly, in tune with the soft murmur that spoke over and over again from her thin lips.
“Not ... no .. I do not believe .. impossible .... absolutely unbelievable.”
The girl did not take her gaze off Andrew's face, trying to dive inside in her shady bead, trying to unravel the layers and layers hidden there. However, the result remained the same, the man did not look like he was joking.
Keiko swallowed her saliva with great difficulty. He wanted to believe all the words of the man before him, but it all felt like an unreasonable prank. Reincarnation is just a myth, a legend, a nonsense told down through the generations by ancestors in the past. In this advanced age .. does reincarnation really exist?
“You're not kidding,” Keiko said, more like a statement than a question.
Beeping. Beeping. Beeping.
The voice from Andrew's cell phone made the man undo the words he was about to say. He read the incoming message and put it in his pants pocket.
“Rest. Call me if you need anything,” the man said before walking out of the kitchen before Keiko could answer.
Keiko's hand stretched out, she was about to call Andrew, but in the end her hand drooped back to her side. Only a soft sigh could be heard from his mouth.
Reincarnation ..is an absurd and joke-like concept. How can a human be reborn for love? It does sound romantic. How could he remember? It feels too far-fetched.
Suddenly all of Keiko felt weak. He rests on the back of the chair while continuing to struggle with his own thoughts.
Reincarnation ....
How ridiculous that is.
However, that does not mean it is impossible ‘kan?
“Aish!” muttered Keiko while shaking her head quite hard.
All this is too confusing. Too sudden. Information that cannot be digested at all, but strangely ... Keiko could not ignore him completely. At least he believed a little Andrew Roux's words. Maybe only about one percent, or five percent? Keiko herself did not understand why she did not doubt that absurd statement in absolute terms.
It could be because the sincerity emanated from the look of Andrew Roux's eyes looks very real, not like a falsehood or a pretense. Recollecting the twinkle of longing on Andrew's face that occasionally caught him when they were together, as well as his sometimes seductive and very intense attitude and words. Is it all because of this?
Reincarnation ....

Andrew entered his room and opened the laptop lying on the table. In addition to sending videos of the Kobayashi and Sakamoto Zen family funerals, Clark also informs him that the person he suspects is starting to make a move. They try to track where he and Keiko are hiding. Fortunately he had arranged everything very carefully before carrying out this escape mission.
Andrew's fingers moved quickly over the keybord to access the file sent to him. After pressing the enter button, a hologram of data floated on the table. He watched the look in front of him while frowning. This information he had just obtained was completely different from what he had imagined before.
The man was just about to equate Clark's examination results with his notes when suddenly the hologram screen before him flickered softly. He quickly touched the glowing green circle near his right hand.
Loading ....
Connected.
“Hey!”
Clark's face cut instantly replaced the copy of information Andrew had just read when the virtual call was connected.
“What's up?” ask Andrew a little worried, “Is there a problem?” continued again. It's not usual for Clark to call her like this.
Clark grinned widely and replied, “Nothing. Just want to see your face after knowing the latest news.”
Andrew showed his sour face and snorted softly. He was about to disconnect the call, but Clark first exclaimed, “Where is Brother-in-law?”
Andrew's eyes squinted before he replied, “Kak Ipar your head!”
Clark chuckled in satisfaction until the hologram look in front of Andrew swayed following the tremors on his face.
“Why? Pretending not happy? Aren't you very happy to be alone with her there?” ledek Clark was still grinning widely.
“Close your foul mouth,” grumbled Andrew while glaring.
“How is your relationship progressing? Does he know who you are?” scowl Clark regardless of Andrew's already very ugly expression.
The scream on Andrew's forehead deepened. He looked at Clark with a look of discontent and said, “Did you contact me just to gossip? Is your job too little? Looks like very relaxing ...”
Clark was silent. He raised both his hands and waved them nervously.
“No. No. gabe. I'm not kidding anymore!” it rang out quickly. His facial expression became stiff and serious before continuing, “I've tracked down Ryuchi's whereabouts. Some of the rascal appeared in Tokyo, but some clans were dissatisfied and cold to him. Moreover, he had not been able to do anything, probably because Sakamoto Keiko was still alive. Therefore, you take good care of the girl. For now don't ever come out of your hiding place.”
Andrew nodded slowly and tapped his finger on the table, as if he was weighing and thinking about something. There were some guesses and conjectures in his heart, but he did not reveal them to Clark. He still has to make sure of it first.
“For Jovanka and Mr.Tanaka, the files have been sent to you. Have you finished reading it?” ask Clark.
“Not everything. I will just check the record before it is interrupted by you,” replied Andrew while raising his eyebrows unhappily. He thinks Clark called because there was something urgent, apparently ....
“Where is Brother-in-law? I really want to see it,” Clark said, turning his head to the right and left.
“Go you!” andrew exclaimed as he touched the red circle to disconnect the call.
Clark opened his mouth to protest, but his voice was no longer heard. Andrew grinned thinly and resumed his work that had been delayed earlier. He sat down in front of the laptop and began to research the files very carefully.
If you want to beat your opponent, find their weakness ..one small mistake, or details that they may have missed. For example ...they suddenly decided not to go to the cafe they had been to to buy breakfast for the past five years, and prefer to buy coffee near the station, exactly one week before the incident in Zeotrope.
Although not very clear, Andrew can recognize one of the people in the photo displayed on the monitor screen is Jovanka. While the man who stood around and wore a hat to cover his entire face ... Andrew could not recognize him at all. He smiled cynically and passed the piece of the picture that Clark had just sent to Garry.
