Only then did the leading doctor realize what was happening. He stopped caring about age, called a nurse to bandage Bai Yu's hand, and then took two people to check on Mami Tomoe, who was still stuck in the car.

Because the situation at the scene was quite chaotic, after the police arrived, he went to the hospital with Mami Tomoe in the ambulance.

Although they had fully recovered, the doctor saw the two men's clothes, which were covered in blood, and decided to have them hospitalized for observation. After all, not everyone believed that with the car almost completely destroyed, the two men's most serious injuries were only some scratches.

It's like jumping from the 18th floor, only to find out you've just twisted your ankle. It's not luck anymore; you've just used luck as a shield to take the fall.

in the hospital.

Mami Tomoe and Shiraha stayed in a specially arranged double room.

The doctor has collected what he needs and is waiting for the test results. Until then, he can only move around in the ward. Later, the police will come to announce some things to them.

However, Bai Yu roughly knew what had happened; it was simply that their driftwood had died.

He didn't care; that kind of thing didn't exist for him anyway.

As for Mami Tomoe, the pain of losing a loved one must be hard to accept for a while, especially since she is the only one left alive in the entire family, so it is not an exaggeration to say that she should speak softly.

After all, there was no one left in the world he cared about or who cared about him. He couldn't think of any reason to stay in this cruel world that he had no attachment to.

Suicide is the best way out.

"Kyubi, if I make a contract with you and wish for Mami Tomoe's parents to be resurrected, do you think it will succeed? Will the people who come back to life be the same as they were before?"

Bai Yu sat in front of Mami Tomoe's hospital bed, propping his chin up with one hand and tilting his head to observe the girl lying quietly on the bed.

"If you're referring to personality and physique, then I think so."

Suddenly, Qiu Bi appeared on the windowsill and jumped onto the hospital bed, his red eyes fixed on Bai Yu.

"What about their souls? Are their souls their original ones? Or did you create two clones with the same personality to replace them?"

There is a classic saying that no two leaves in the world are exactly the same, let alone complex creatures like humans. Unless the original person is directly resurrected, there will inevitably be differences in details.

Not to mention that everyone's personality and habits are constantly updated and changed over time. A cloned person can only inherit what they had in life and live according to their original trajectory.

"Why do you have to pursue that kind of thing? Isn't it enough to achieve the goal?" Kyubey didn't answer directly, but asked instead, "Same personality, same body, aren't they the same person?"

"So you mean you can't do it, right? If you can't, then shut up." Bai Yu waved his hand, not really wanting to hear his inhumane logic.

Since they have no feelings, they certainly cannot understand such complex human emotions.

Imagine living with someone for decades, whose habits and feelings for family remain unchanged, living the same way day after day, getting up, going to work, coming home, eating, and sleeping on time every day, like an assembly line that never breaks down, never doing anything unexpected, and showing no interest in anything extra. Just thinking about it is terrifying.

Such a family member was never necessary in the first place, unless Mami Tomoe chose to accept it, in which case he would not stop her, provided that this little thing does not deliberately mislead her.

Just then, Mami Tomoe, who had been unconscious on the hospital bed, suddenly twitched her eyelids. She opened her eyes groggily, her golden pupils still covered with a layer of mist.

Am I... in heaven?

"No, it's in the hospital."

Bai Yu leaned over and removed the respirator from the girl's face so she could speak more clearly.

"A hospital? I think I am..."

Mami Tomoe tried hard to recall her memories before she fell into a coma.

She vaguely remembered that she was on a road trip with her neighbor's family, planning to go to a nearby village with beautiful scenery, but halfway there... it seemed like there was a car accident?

My head is throbbing slightly, and the more I try to recall, the more it hurts.

She only remembered that in her final moments, she vaguely saw a figure grab her hand, and a warm feeling flowed from her palm before she lost consciousness.

but......

"The doctor said you're fine, and if the test results are all negative, you can be discharged."

Bai Yu explained the current situation and helped the girl, who wanted to get up, to adjust her pillow.

"I understand." Mami Tomoe nodded gently, but her eyes still showed confusion.

After briefly recalling the name of the neighbor's child in her mind, Mami Tomoe finally spoke: "Um... Shiraha-kun, how are my parents?"

Although she hasn't seen her parents yet, she's probably alright, and her parents are likely fine too.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, especially when she saw Bai Yu's gloomy expression; she could hardly breathe.

"I'm sorry, I don't know much about your situation either." Bai Yu shook his head, choosing to play dumb.

He wasn't really sure, after all, when he and Mami left, their parents hadn't been dug out of the car yet.

But the situation is probably dire, especially for his own parents, whose heads are all pixelated, indicating that the system had no intention of leaving them alive.

On the road to success, you always lose something, and for him now, his parents are just consumables.

"..."

Mami Tomoe remained silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and could only temporarily suppress the unease in her heart, turning her gaze back to the boy in front of her.

She remembered that the neighbor's child, who was only 12 years old and in the sixth grade, was as tall as an adult. She and Bai Yu could be considered childhood sweethearts.

Because they live in an apartment in the city, their relationships with their neighbors are mostly very distant. This year, she is in her first year of junior high school. In addition, due to the height difference between them, she and Bai Yu rarely have the opportunity to play together. Their relationship can only be described as ordinary friends.

"Is Bai Yujun alright? And how are your uncle and aunt?"

"I'm fine, it's just my mom and dad..."

He lowered his head, looking sorrowful. Although he hadn't uttered the rest of his words, Mami Tomoe already knew the outcome.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," she quickly apologized.

"It's alright, it's not your fault." Bai Yu forced a smile, indicating that she didn't need to blame herself.

But this forced smile looked incredibly sad to Mami, making her feel a tightness in her chest.

The curtains in the ward swayed gently in the wind, and sunlight danced on Mami Tomoe's blond hair. She stared at the boy's smile, which was more painful than crying, and suddenly made an unladylike move—she reached out and pinched his cheeks and pulled them apart.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch—What are you doing, Mami-nee?" Bai Yu was caught off guard and her face was pulled into a bun shape, tears almost streaming down her face.

“That expression doesn’t suit you.” Mami Tomoe released her hand, the lingering warmth of her fingertips making her ears burn. “My mother said that a fake smile will turn your face into a pickle.”

Bai Yu rubbed her face and complained, "You didn't have to pull my face so hard..."

Mami patted her shoulder again, gently comforting her, "If Shiraha-kun wants to cry, you can lend me your shoulder. You don't have to act like a man at times like this."

Although this sounds a bit funny considering their height difference, it's perfectly normal for her, as the older sister, to comfort her younger brother, given that she's actually two years older than Bai Yu.
