Amanda’s POV:
After I said that, I could clearly see joy rising in Nine’s eyes.
He lifted his glass, his voice full of sincerity. “Avi, may you rise again soon.”

I didn’t say much. I raised my glass and lightly clinked it with his. The clear sound rang out.
I then drained the whiskey in one go. The sharp liquid burned down my throat, leaving a hot trail, as if it had ignited something that had been sleeping deep inside me for a long time.
I set the empty glass down and stood up. “Let’s go. I’ll take back what belongs to me.”
Nine nodded and stood first to lead the way. We didn’t leave through the front door of the bar. Instead, we went around to a private elevator on the other side.
The elevator doors slowly closed and finally stopped on the eighteenth floor. Nine took out a key, unlocked the door, and pushed it open.
When I stepped inside, everything I saw felt familiar. The simple decor, the old couch in the corner of the living room, and the abstract painting on the wall. Nothing had changed much since the day I left.
A surge of emotion rose in my chest. I quickly pulled myself together and walked straight toward the bedroom.
After pushing the bedroom door open, I went straight to the rosewood cabinet by the floor- to-ceiling window.
I opened it and saw a black box placed neatly inside. I took it out and opened it. Inside were several sets of car keys and some small personal items.
I picked up a silver car key, then casually grabbed a slightly worn black baseball cap beside it and put it on. Then I turned to look at myself in the mirror.
With the cap on, the brim covered most of my face, leaving only my softly lined jaw visible.
For a moment, I seemed to see my old self, racing freely on the track. My heart gave a small, uncontrollable ache.
“I’ll take these with me for now,” I said as I walked out of the bedroom holding the box.
Nine shrugged and said casually, “I was only keeping them for you. Sooner or later, they were always going back to you.”

“Thank you, Nine,” I said sincerely. Without him safeguarding these things all these years, I might not have had even a single memory left.
Nine smiled and patted my shoulder. “We’re brothers. Saying that makes it sound distant.”
We left the apartment together. I locked the door behind me and followed Nine into the elevator.
As the elevator slowly went down, I looked at the changing floor numbers and spoke softly. “The last time I left this place, I swore to myself that I would never step into this world again.
I didn’t expect to come back just two years later. Life really is unpredictable.” My voice was full of emotion.
