"Are you guys, Harold?" asked the old woman in a slightly trembling voice. Maybe because of her age or she is sick.
"really. We are friends who are like his brothers." Delvin. He who was closest to Lionel knew very well the relationship between the two of them like a brother and sister.
"Harold doesn't exist" he said.
"She's my mother." The big man introduced. Reddick and Delvin nodded politely. Then they looked back at the man.
"It's sad because we can't meet him" Reddick said.
"He wasn't long. It's not far from here either. By the way, how did you know that Harold was here? Since it had been a while since he had appeared here, no one had looked for him. He looks like he has no family other than family here" the man said.
"He came to our house himself" Reddick said.
"really?" asked the man surprised. He looked at his mother.
"Have you said that she seems to remember who she is" the mother said with a warm smile.
"Yes. It seems so." The big man nodded.
"Is Lionel, oh no emm ... Harold couldn't remember who he was?" delvin asked until he called it wrong.
"Yes. He was found in a pile of trash by a mother who was looking for items that could still be used. He thought he saw a corpse. But it turns out he's still alive" the man's story goes.
On top of the trash? Who is in the tomb? Did the stranger who pushed me somewhere do something? Because his destiny can change thanks to a foreign man who seems to have the authority to change destiny.
Reddick thought hard.
Delvin. He doesn't understand. What he understood now was that the man could not remember it because there was a memory missing. Lionel lost his memory. It may be caused by such a complex transfer of souls.
"I'm coming!" A voice sounded from outside. Everyone in the house looked out.
"He's come." The man smiled. Reddick and Delvin were surprised to see the man's look. Although it was Reddick's body, the soul that was inside it belonged to Lionel, the casanova. The look of Lionel now is truly astonishing. Not elegant and beautiful, this is the opposite. Lionel looked bad for wearing ragged camping clothes with a dirty face.
"I brought this for mom." Lionel showed me a bag of crackers filled with clothes. It seems like this guy hasn't seen any guests. "It's me. oh, there's a guest." Lionel only realized there were two of these people in their living room chair who had not been wearing ceramics. Just ordinary cement ground seemed to be crushed here and there. "It turns out you guys are." Lionel flat faced.

Although it had been almost half an hour, Reddick and Delvin saw Lionel, they were still stunned at the state of this man. Lionel responded casually.
"So you heard the story about me from them?" ask Lionel. They are currently left with only three.
"During this time you didn't show up because of memory loss?" ask Reddick.
"Yes. Maybe not remember, but like everything like a dream. So I assume it's not a real event. You can imagine Reddick. I was in a hotel with a woman. As soon as I woke up, I was in a pile of trash. No, but the mountain of trash there. You must have seen that mountain before you came to this house." Lionel said that emotionally. "Then I reflect. When it was all shocking to see my face and body change. It's someone else's body. That's yours Reddick. Suddenly I was in a terrible pain that made me forget about a few things, including you Delvin. Sorry."
Delvin is one of those things that you forget to listen well.
"It's okay. I can't force." Delvin tried to understand.
"Yes. What I said was true, right?"
Reddick could not deny. He could still remember himself well, in contrast to Lionel who had almost lost his identity. Even life here is not worth living compared to Lionel's previous life.
"What if you go back to the apartment, lion," Reddick bargained.
"Yes. You can come back to life as you normally do." Delvin agrees.
"I'm Reddick, not Lionel." Lionel's lips smiled as if denouncing their invitation.
"It doesn't matter about that, but .. I can't take you back home because I live there with my wife" Reddick said. Lionel has two houses. One is an apartment that he often uses overnight with his women. The other one is the house that Reddick lives in.
"Wife? Which wife? Did I get married?" asked Lionel surprised.
"Red got married to Bellina when he was you" Delvin explained.
"Bellina's? Really true?" Lionel's gaze moved on Reddick again.
"Yes" said Reddick.
"So you used my body to do it with Bellina?" ask Lionel naughty. These two men understood what Lion meant. Beyond a doubt Reddick blushed involuntarily. "Hey, haven't you done that before?" exclaim Lionel surprise. Delvin. Reddick is red in shame.
"Shut your mouth" Reddick sighed.
"So how, are you coming with us?" ask Delvin. Lionel was silent for a moment.
"I need your help, too, Lion." Reddick expressed his intentions honestly.
"Help?"
Delvin looked at Reddick. "Yes. He must find his father who is in the grasp of his young mother." Delvin explained. Lionel was silent.
"Maybe I'm Lionel or Reddick, but I'm someone else here. I'm their son." Lionel's person turned out to be much different from the one he used to be. If he didn't think about family because he was alone, now he has a family that seems to love him. Lionel felt it was hard to leave them.
Delvin and Reddick looked at each other. Reddick remained silent as he gently scratched his chin. He thought again, how to persuade this man to come home.
"We can talk about that again Lionel. Think about my offer again. I need Reddick's body to finish everything. Don't you want to go back inside each other's bodies?" ask Reddick.
"I don't know, but if you ask now, I'll answer your question with my heart situation right now" Lionel said. "I'm happier now Reddick. I have a family." Lionel's eyeballs don't lie. But for a moment Lion realized something. "It doesn't mean I wasn't happy when I was with you, Delvin. It's just, I still don't remember the two of us together." Lionel spoke honestly.
Delvin blinked suddenly called by Lionel.
"I knew. Its alright. I understand," said Delvin trying to seem reasonable.
