"Brother! Save me! Brother!"
A little girl's heart-wrenching cries echoed endlessly in his mind.
Gordon jolted awake from the nightmare, surrounded by darkness. As he faced the pitch-black room, it felt like all his strength had been drained. He slumped back against the headboard, completely disheveled.
A mix of clear and hazy memories kept flashing through his mind.
"Brother! Hold my hand!"
"Brother! Hug me!"
Brother...
Brother...
A babyish voice, both distant and close, seemed to appear right in front of him again.
"Brother!"
Gordon opened his eyes, as if he had traveled back in time. The summer courtyard was filled with the scent of fresh grass, and the koi fish in the pond played and chased each other. Sunlight spread over the entire courtyard, warming everything it touched.
He was just an eleven-year-old boy.
In front of him, a little girl with a face like a porcelain doll called out to him, clutching his sleeve. Her face was soft and rosy.
Gordon squatted down, as if guided by fate, and asked with a gentle smile, "What's wrong now?"
"Swing, swing!"
The little doll pointed at the swing set not far away.
"That's not a 'swing, swing.' It's just a swing."
"I want to swing!"
Determination filled the little girl's eyes.
