_________________________________________
I was walking down the street when suddenly I bumped into someone. In that fraction of a second, I witnessed a glimpse of a playback of some event. However, as the person removed their hand from me, the glimpse faded away.
I didn't know what it was, just something that came to my mind, and I touched a random person. Once again, a glimpse of something formed in my mind, like a movie.
I rushed home and found my best friend Lisa there, crying. Her parents and my parents were surrounding her, trying to ask what happened, but she wouldn't utter a single word. She just cried. I approached her and asked her to come with me, thinking maybe she would be more comfortable around me.
I held her, and suddenly something formed in my mind. I could see my friend when she was coming to my place, but then a person dressed in a black long jacket and wearing a cap covering his head approached her. Lisa tried to back off, but it didn't work. He whispered in her ear, "Your parents are sinners. They will have to die, and no one can stop me." Then he disappeared, leaving her terrified and full of unanswered questions.
She could do nothing but cry. She didn't know if she should believe what he said about her parents being sinners and going to die. Was it a murder? She ran back home, crying, and that was the end of it.
But then, I wondered if what I had just witnessed was her experience. Did I just read her memories? Is this even possible? It couldn't be real! I told Lisa that I was going to get some water from her house and left. I touched my mom, and suddenly everything that had happened five minutes ago came flooding into my mind.
I couldn't waste much time. Maybe what that person in black had said was true. I needed to make sure. I went to Lisa's parents and tried various means to touch them, to read their memories. In the end, when I couldn't read anything else, I was on the verge of giving up. But then I saw that part. It was Lisa's dad...stabbing someone.
How was that even possible? He could never do such a thing. But it was in his memory. The date was April 3rd, the same as my birthday! I tried to connect the dots. Since I was five years old, I remember nothing about my childhood, and it was in the year 2000. Could this be connected somehow? I don't understand.
I continued scanning further and saw a man and a woman on their knees, pleading. But he didn't listen. He slid a sword through their necks, and there was blood everywhere. He then went to meet Lisa's mother and said, "They're now dead... yes, we did it! They did so much harm to my business that there's no way I would let them live peacefully."
The mother replied, "Yes, they deserved this."
The man continued, "Now we just have to find her new parents..."
The mother said, "I know a couple...let's pretend to be innocent and hand her over to them."
After that, they went home. But wait...it was my current home. What does this mean? Does it mean the people I'm living with right now aren't my real parents? And wait, I have a sibling with me whom I play with. Why can't I remember anything?
I immediately opened my eyes and started running aimlessly through the city. And there, I came across that person in the hoodie, the "blackie."
"So, you know the truth now?" he said.
"Who are you? What's going on?" I asked.
"You saw that sibling with you? I am that sibling. My name is V. You are Vi, right? I gave you a name similar to mine."
"Wait... how is that even possible? I don't understand!" I exclaimed.
"Now, I will tell you the whole truth. When we were young, Lisa's parents killed our parents because they discovered that her parents were corrupt. They did whatever the higher-ups told them and even bribed them. Our parents were about to expose them to the police, but they were killed on their way. And you witnessed it all. You may not know, but when I was around six or seven years old, I gained the power to manipulate someone's memory. I don't know how it happened, but I erased everything from your memory so that you could live a happy life. But since then, I never left you. I followed you secretly, watching over you. But today, I saw something unusual. In that neighborhood where you were heading home, I realized you could read memories. I scanned you, but you may not remember because I erased it as well. So now, will you help me bring them to justice?"
"I need some time to process this. Are you saying all of that is true?" I questioned, trying to make sense of everything.
"Of course! We don't have much time. You need to make a decision right now, or I will go alone. I want justice!" V urged.
"Wait... I need to think. What you're telling me is overwhelming," I replied, my mind racing with conflicting emotions.
"We don't have the luxury of time," V insisted, frustration evident in his voice. "They killed our parents!"
"I understand, but rushing into action won't solve anything. Let's go to the police station together. Turning into vigilantes won't make us any better than them," I reasoned.
"You don't understand! They deserve to pay for what they did!" V exclaimed, his voice filled with anger and pain.
"I do understand, but taking matters into our own hands won't bring true justice. Trust in the legal system. Let's gather evidence and report them to the authorities," I suggested.
Reluctantly, V agreed, and we made our way to the police station. He had a video as evidence, recorded during the incident, which we provided to the authorities. As a result, both of them were arrested.
I approached Lisa and comforted her, assuring her that it wasn't her fault. It was solely the wrongdoing of those who had strayed from the right path. From then on, we chose to stay together, supporting each other and striving to live happily despite the haunting memories.
-After 5 years-
Five years had passed since those events unfolded. Today, everyone knows about me and my innate superpower. I had already been preparing to become a lawyer, but now I'm also training to become a detective. I have excelled in martial arts, holding a black belt in taekwondo and a red belt in karate. It seems that all these experiences were destined to shape my future.
However, there was a tragic turn in my story. My long-lost brother, V, passed away just two months after the incident. Reading the villainous memories filled with atrocities took a toll on him. Despite our efforts, he couldn't overcome the burden. Like any other day, he went to sleep, and he never woke up again.
It was a devastating loss for me as well. Nevertheless, I made the decision to serve as a government employee. After two years of dedicated work, I became a government official, committed to delivering justice.
Throughout my career, I encountered numerous cases and was confronted with the unbearable memories of criminals and murderers. It weighed heavily on me.
