Bring the World Back

The hidden reality (Arc 1 Ended)

Micah stands by the door and overhears a fight between her sister, Alicia and her brother, Jack. Early in the morning was upset.

"Alicia, you're not supposed to throw Raven Kane's letter in Micah's possession. What exactly are you thinking?" jack asked, trying to ask for an explanation."

"It doesn't deserve that letter!" alicia shouted annoyedly.

Jack started yelling, "Alicia, lower your voice! Micah's sick in there and you're-"

"Even if Micah dies, I don't care! The point is, Micah isn't my brother!" exclaim Alicia.

"Even though Micah you don't consider your brother, it shouldn't make things difficult like this, Alicia!" Micah who was behind the door of the living room began to feel that this quarrel was endless, then decided to leave the room.

However, when Micah came out of the room, Alicia simultaneously exclaimed, "just defend the child!"

Micah was wide-eyed to hear it, plus Jack's words again, despite defending himself. "Even if Micah's only Handerson's adopted son, but shouldn't you hate your brother?"

Micah started to say, "So, I'm just a pick-up boy? Not a pure member of the Handerson family?"

Suddenly the two of them saw Micah who had been standing at the door. His expression was really disappointed. At first Micah was angry because they had a fight, and this time Micah did not think that what he had been thinking had actually come true. How could they hide the fact that Micah is not a member of the Handerson family?

The surrounding scenery felt hazy and faint, only focusing on the annoyance and disappointment Micah felt. He felt cheated by people he should have trusted and loved.

"Why are you hiding this from me? I'm not a member of the Handerson family, do you think I can't accept this fact if you say so? Why secret?" Micah began to ask them, his voice filled with anger and disappointment.

Jack tried to calm the situation by speaking in a calm voice, even though his heart was not calm. "Well, I want you to keep feeling like you're part of this family. I'm afraid, after telling you, you'll feel alienated" Jack explained in a soft tone.

However, Micah could not accept that reason. "What kind of reason is that? I should have felt so isolated here since I was a child!"

That's when Jack realizes he can't bring Micah back. Now, his worries are proven. He knew that he had made a huge mistake by hiding the truth from her.

"Work, please don't go. I'm sorry. I know I was wrong. I promise to help you and protect you always" Jack said, pleading.

"I'm sorry, Micah. I feel so overwhelmed by all these lies, and I feel so sorry to have hidden the truth from you" Alicia said, bowing her head.

Micah then started to go to the room and close the door, then leaned there with a look of disappointment, sadness, and anger all at once. Jack and Alicia are out there asking her to open the door and talk about it, but Micah is pretending to be deaf.

"Well, please open the door, I can explain everything." The sound of knocking on the door also made Micah unable to bear to vent his anger.

"You've had enough! I don't want to listen to your excuses anymore, Jack. And you two, Alicia, please don't think of me as your brother anymore. I don't want to have a family like you! Now, get out of my room!" shouted Micah.

"Go!" yell Micah again.

Suddenly the two of them started walking out the front door. Before leaving, they said, "I hope you'll open up, Micah."

After some time passes, Jack, Shara, and Raven meet at the academy's cafeteria. Jack ventured to reveal everything that had happened to them. After Jack finished, Shara and Raven shook their heads in disappointment. They blame Jack for not telling Micah about his secret. They said that by telling Micah about this, they could help Micah to overcome the confusion and disappointment he felt. However, Jack says that he is afraid that it will make Micah feel alienated, so he chooses to hide the truth. Shara and Raven then invite Jack to apologize to Micah and tell him the truth. After a long discussion, Jack finally agrees to apologize to Micah and tell him the truth. They all wish that everything would end well.

On the other hand, Alicia had bought a bowl of Curry Udon, which was Micah's favorite meal. He hoped, with this made Micah melt with himself and began to listen to his words.

---------

"Do they think I'm that weak to the point of not being able to accept this harsh reality if told?" Micah feels overwhelmed by all the secrets and lies that have been hidden from him.

After pondering for a moment, Micah began to think about what to do next. He could not ignore the fact that he was not part of the Handerson family and felt alienated from the surrounding environment.

After thinking about it for a while, Micah decided to leave the house. He felt that he needed to go and find his own place in this divided world.

"I have to get out of here, find my origins, and find out why I got dumped and picked up by the Handerson family."

Despite a heavy heart leaving Jack and Alicia, Micah feels that this is the best decision for himself. He wanted to pursue his dreams and goals in this world and did not want to continue living in the shadow of the Handerson family.

Finally, Micah took his bag and darted away, leaving the house. She is saddened to leave Jack and Alicia, but also relieved that she can finally find the right place for herself in this divided world.

"I'm sorry, Jack and Alicia. I have to go."

Suddenly, an old man told Micah. "Too in a hurry to take action, young man. If you leave, then you'll be mute for the rest of your life. No, until an unspecified time. You're too young at fifteen, so rethink your actions."

Micah did not tease the old man, which was unfortunate. "Unfortunately, her fate will be bad for a few years and I hope Micah can get through it hard."

For a moment, the old man suddenly disappeared. A warning actually made Micah feel doubtful about the old man's prediction, but he felt confident about his decision to leave. He knew that this journey would be difficult, but he was also confident that he was able to get through it.

Before that, Micah had sent letters to Raven Kane, He Finch, Sakuya Forza, and Anna. Micah feels unfair if they are not told about this, and he hopes they don't get in the way.
