Third Person PoV
"Hey, oi you brat! Wake up, your damn late for school!"
A blatant old woman's voice interrupted Derzero as he opened his eyes in surprise.
"Wake up!"
'How noisy can this person be?'
He frowned as he stared at the old lady in an.. apron and a large spoon which was he would suspect to have seen before. He was aware that he was in a lying position right now so he tried to sit up while ignoring the loud voice and using his small palms, he massaged his throbbing temples.
He roamed his eyes around to better look at his surroundings only to immediately widen it in surprise.
'It's those things from my consciousness journey.'
The opened wooden door, the purely glass window, the wooden table, this narrow place was filled with things he wouldn't even plan to see in his time. A lot was wood, the ceiling and floor was cement that are cold, He can even see hanged clothes here and there that were just like before.
He even looked at the bed he is in right now.
"Poor."
One comment he said casually, something that would make the person who can hear him, whoever it is as long as they own this house explode in extreme anger.
But the person infront who kept shouting to wake up doesn't even seem to have heard him and just shouted more loudly.
"Wake uppp! How the hell did I even ended up with a son as lazy as a pig such as you. Do you even know how much I spent to make you grow up this, only for you to keep sleeping and skip school! It must have been retribution, what have I even sinned for! Goodness just wake up already"
She blabbled more about her efforts and her retribution to have neded up with a pig as Derzero contemplated while covering his ears as a form of protection.
'I thought that I was the one being shouted at but I was awake and she still kept shouting, so in conclusion it is...another person.'
The moment he concluded that he felt movements in his left side which was pretty much the place occupied less as he was a small person on the right side, or so he thought..
"Oi Oi Oi!! That's enough, I'm waking up waking up goodness, mom, are you trying to make me have my eardrums explode, go deaf and even die from heart attack, do you want to kill your only child this young and early."
A youth with a hot-blooded tone spoke harshly while holding a pillow with his right hand as he yawned lazily.
"Unmannered."
Derzero spoke as this youth was someone he started to dislike more, he as a person who suffered through hell just to learn noble manners in perfection, only to one day in his life witness a person like this. He dislike that very much.
"Good morning, my lovely Ren."
He even thought that the noisy old lady was unladylike and showed an expression of disbelief as soon as she suddenly showed a gentle and motherly aura around her.
Her face back then that was like an angry gorilla suddenly turned into an expression of a caring mother, with that smile in her face that shouts the phrase 'Angry Gorrilla Who? I am obviously someone who can turn 360° if I wanted to!'
He even got the hallucination that this mother never shouted just a minute ago.
"You shouldn't be late for school, so your mother learned from the internet ways to wake up a child early, look it did worked."
Even her voice was so soft and caring as she slowly retreated to the door after she finished her speech.

"Hays.. Just why did I actually have a mother like that."
A sigh spread to the room as he then stopped stiffly and turned to his right side.
"What..!"
Derzero immediately stiffened when he was so sure the man in his 20's locked eyes with him.
The guy was someone who have particularly the eyes as the most beautiful feature on his already good looking face, must have inherited them from his father than his mother.
But he wasn't stiff because of it's beauty but rather the force that sucked him in. The blue eyes was forcing him to stay locked with that gaze. No matter if he tried to move his eyes away, it wouldn't work, trying once again, he succeeded and he breathed very heavily as if truly exhausted with just one gaze.
He turned away and tried to get up from the bed to run away but something very fast held his hands, up to his shoulders then it forcefully turned him around.
"See it for yourself. You will truly remember something by this."
The guy named Ren pinched Derzero's cheeks and pulled his face closer to his, his stares were three whole levels more intense and focused than before.
Being able to look at the eyes more closely than before, Derzero saw something horrifying, something he couldn't believe.
It showed his life until now suddenly turning back at a fast pace until it stopped at a scene where it is the time her mother was about to give birth to a child, he have seen who it give birth to a second ago, it was a baby who didn't have a beating heart, a child who was suspected to have already died.
But the very first scene of the time an eight year old boy exactly having the same feature as that 'dead' child talking to an old butler proved that that measly, and weak baby lived, for eight years, for whole eight years, even if that young child have been living in pain worse than a horrible death, he persisted to survive.
He selfishly abused his sickly body in pain because his whole soul wanted to be the one to live in the end.
Derzero's eyes clouded in tears. He was glad that he was selfish, that he persisted or else how was he gonna get back at the people who have bestowed him such a hateful fate.
His eyes were clouded in tears of victory as he have never known that his heart also started to cloud in selfishness and unbreakable will to survive even if the world ends in destruction the next day, he will live.
Somehow the illusiory surface where he was able to witness those scenes withened until it surrounded him and put him in a cocoon.
He then felt a drowning sensation that is choking him. He persisted as he have always done to get out of the cocoon surrounding him, trapping him within and isolating him.
'Arghh, how did they even get filled.. with... water in the first pl..ac.....e.'
Derzero couldn't really breath anymore despite his persistence to escape, in the end he still fell unconscious.
