The Story of the Boy Who Left to Pick Up Sand from the Moon (Sagrada Reset 4) - Chapter 4

[INDEX]

The next day—July 24th, Monday.

Kei met Haruki shortly before noon and they started making their moves after Saving.

They called Kusakabe Shouta's home, introduced themselves as Nonoo Seika's acquaintances, and invited him to the park near his house. He asked Haruki to meet Nonoo and explain the situation.

Kei headed to the park alone.

Kusakabe Shouta was a short, skinny, and generally colorless boy. His skin, hair, and eyes were all very pale. When paired with Nonoo's doll-like paleness, they could be mistaken for siblings.

Kei introduced himself with a casual smile.

"Thanks for coming all the way here. I'm Asai Kei."

Shouta spoke with a slightly nervous tone.

"What… do you want?"

"My job is to investigate your ability. I'm a Service Club member and the task came from the  Bureau."

He noticed Shouta gulp.

His eyes opened wide and trembled.

Kei provided a detailed explanation of the three days deleted by Haruki's Reset.

"You're planning to disappear before Nonoo's eyes tonight at 8. Telling her that you'll be back after picking up sand from the moon."

Shouta lowered his head slightly and bit his lips.

"I have nothing against that. All I want to know is what is your ability. To make sure it's not dangerous."

The boy raised his gaze.

"My ability is to go to the moon", he answered with a glare.

"Have you ever tested it before?"

"I have. I've been to the moon. Nothing bad happens."

"How long does it take to come back from the moon?"

"Two days… and a half."

(Two and a half days, huh.)

"So you're saying that if you used your ability to go to the moon tonight, you'd be back on the morning of the 27th?"

"Yes. Exactly."

July 27th. The day Shouta will leave Sakurada.

"You're lying.", calmly said Kei.

"I'm not lying.", Shouta denied.

"But you never have been away from home for over two days."

Kei confirmed that with his parents before Resetting.

If he had used his ability in the past and had taken over two days to return from the moon, that would be an elementary schooler missing for a significantly long time, and there's no way his parents would have been unaware.

Shouta shook his head.

"I have. Maybe mom doesn't remember because it's been so long."

Another lie.

"An inspection was carried at your school in June to determine who had abilities and who didn't. It's hard to believe you already had your ability earlier than that."

Kei sighed internally.

(What am I even doing? Interrogating a 10 year will get you nowhere, idiot. There has to be a more peaceful way to do this.)

"Shouta, please tell the truth about your ability."

Shouta hung his head in silence for a long while.

And then, suddenly,

"I need sand from the moon."

Shouta turned 180 and dashed away.

"Wait."

Kei stretched his hand on reflex. His fingers pulled the sleeve of Shouta's T-shirt.

He looked at him with a shocked expression. And then—

He disappeared before Kei's eyes.

The feel of his T-shirt's texture on Kei's fingers were all that was left of him.

One boy vanished under the moonless summer sky.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

At that moment, Haruki was in front of a small shrine.

She was there because Kei asked her to tell Nonoo what happened before the Reset.

Haruki had already finished talking about the 3 days undone by the Reset. She had nothing left to do, but Kei would be there later, so she decided to watch the cats until his arrival.

Haruki's favorite was a cat that had a grumpy face like everything in the world annoyed it. She crouched in front of it and circled her index finger in front of its nose, but it yawned at her, not bothering with her games.

"You're interesting.", said Nonoo Seika.

Haruki turned to her. 

Nonoo was sitting on the stone staircase, resting her face on her hand and her elbow on her lap.

"Are you like this with everyone?"

"Like this how?"

"Apathetic, to put it in one word. You look completely uninterested.", Nonoo laughed.

Haruki didn't know what to do. It's true that she wasn't interested in Nonoo, but would it hurt her feeling if she said it to her face? Haruki didn't know, so she stayed quiet.

"I mean, look at what you're doing. This cat is unresponsive to your finger and that doesn't bother you?"

"I wasn't ever expecting it to do anything.", Haruki nodded.

"Did you not want to play with him?"

(Him? She must mean the cat. I can't tell if it's male or female.)

"You could say so. But that's for the cat to decide."

"True. I agree. But your thought process there is a bit unique and interesting."

"Despite you thinking the same?"

"My case is different. I think I don't treat people and cats differently. I take their will into consideration because I respect cats."

"So do I."

"You're just… indifferent. You don't seem to like cats that much."

"I'm a cat merch collector."

"Oh, I wasn't expecting that. Then you do love cats?"

"Not much, actually."

She didn't like or dislike them. But if she had to give a concrete yes-or-no answer, that'd be pending more to the side of like.

"Why do you collect cat merch?"

"For no reason."

"None?"

"Yes."

There was a cause, but it's nothing she considered worth telling others.

The cat next to Nonoo clawed her blouse. It seemed to be trying to climb her body. She tenderly watched the cat.

"This is something of an exceptional situation.", said Haruki.

"What situation are we talking about?"

"It's Kei who gives accounts of what happened in Reset time, not me."

Haruki herself also loses her memories with a Reset. Which means everything she narrated was information she heard from Kei.

The more direct the transmission of information was, the more it accurate it got. Inserting unnecessary middle men is wrong. Information gets distorted as it passes through others, to the point that the telephone game is a consistently functioning play activity. Kei generally didn't appreciate the distortion of information.

"Why did Asai ask you to pass the message?"

"I don't know. But I believe something was a priority over the reliability of the information."

"What?"

"Perhaps speed. Kei is not here because he's currently meeting Kusakabe Shouta."

"You mean he's in a real hurry to tell me something?"

"The sooner you receive the message, the more time you'll have to think about Kusakabe Shouta."

The cat that was trying to climb Nonoo put its front paws on her shoulder, falling into a state where it couldn't advance or go back. It meowed feebly and uneasily.

With gentle hands, Nonoo lifted the cat and moved it to a stable position on her shoulder. In a gesture of insatiable defiance, the cat made its next challenge to get atop her head. Another cat lay down on her lap. Sooner or later, a pile of cats would form.

"I don't have any clue what Shouta's thinking."

"None at all?"

"Do you?"

"I do not."

"Do you think Asai does?"

Haruki nodded, then had an epiphany.

"That might be the reason why I came here to talk to you in Kei's stead."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"If you were with someone who knew the correct answer, would you not feel inclined to ask it?"

Nonoo's eyes widened in shock slightly.

"So he's trying to tell me to think for myself?"

"That's a possibility."

"Heh, you're not completely indifferent after all.", Nonoo smirked.

"Disagreed. In general, I'm completely indifferent.", Haruki answered before returning to waving her finger at the impudent cat.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Kei got to the shrine, Nonoo Seika had a cat atop her head and Haruki Misora had another cat coiled around her right arm.

"Looks like you're having fun.", said Kei.

"Jealous?", answered Nonoo.

She minimally lowered her head for the cat to drop off. Haruki shook her cat off and went to Kei's side.

Kei opened the paper box he had in his right hand. It contained cream puffs from a Western confectionery store named March Hall.

It was 3:30 on a summer. The three ate cream puffs under a painfully blue sky. Custard cream full of sugar, inside lightly crisped dough.

"So good.", said Nonoo.

"They sure are.", answered Kei.

Haruki nodded without saying anything.

"Did you hear about Shouta?", Kei asked after finishing his cream puffs.

Nonoo nodded while licking the cream off her fingers.

"Yeah, I did."

"Nonoo, we'd like to keep this up to your discretion."

"What are you talking about?"

"If you want to forget everything, we Reset again. If you want to let Shouta have his way, we won't do anything."

"Is that allowed? Aren't you doing work for the Service Club?"

"That's pretty much over."

"Over?"

"Uh-huh. I figured out Shouta's ability. It's nothing dangerous."

Kei explained Kusakabe Shouta's ability.

Nonoo was momentarily speechless. The cat curled up on her lap yawned widely.

"Ugh, humans are so difficult.", she finally sulked.

Kei giggled at her grumble.

"That's an awfully heartless thing to say."

"Yeah, but it's fine when I say it because I'm also human."

"Do you also consider yourself difficult?"

"No matter how hard I try, I can't lead a life as simple as a cat's."

(That's great to hear.)

"Believe it or not, I prefer humans to cats."

"I prefer cats."

"But you do like humans, don't you?"

"I'm not so sure. But I do have a few favorites among them.", she said in serious tone.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sky had few clouds.

Under the moist summer air, Nonoo Seika and Kusakabe Shouta sat down on the stone staircase of a small shrine to watch the night sky. The moon was visible slightly over half, about to become full in a few more days. 

The two talked about a cat who died 6 months ago. A small, skinny stray with white fur and yellow eyes, who sought to reach the moon before it died.

Kusakabe Shouta stood up and faced Nonoo. The moon stood white, silent, and beautiful above his head.

The boy smiled.

"You see, I can go to the moon now."

Nonoo wasn't sure when had this all begun. It could have been when it was decided Shouta would move away, or it could have been the day the cat died. It could even have been on the day they first met.

"I'll pick up some sand from the moon. To give it to the cat."

He looked straight at the moon.

He silently disappeared, dissolving into the summer air and the moonlight. It truly looked like he traveled to the moon. Only the moonlight remained after he was gone.

Nonoo Seika closed her eyes.

She felt a faint smell of grass.The perfume of damp summer grass. Bugs and toads could be heard in the distance. It was such a quiet night that even the most ignorable sounds reached their ears.

Nonoo Seika thought about Kusakabe Shouta.

She had been thinking about him since the morning.

Why would he leave to pick up sand from the moon?

What was the point of that?

Why did he have to never be seen again?

After much, much thought, her only answer was "I don't know".

She still didn't even now. But she had a good idea of what to say to him.

"Shouta.", Nonoo said after slowly raising her eyelids. "I thought long and hard about what I should do. At first, I thought I should accept the moon sand to appease you. I thought I should tell you you made that cat happy.", she told, looking at the silent moonlight. "But I feel like that's not what this is about. I'm not too sure, but I feel like that's not it."

Only her words echoed in the moonlit quiet.

"I don't know what you want. I truly don't."

(That's a heartless thing to say, but I can't think of anything else that works.)

"I don't need any sand from the moon. I never wanted it. You don't understand me, just like I don't understand you."

(Those are necessary words, so I don't have a choice.)

"This ignorance is not sitting right with me. I'm too human to have the simplistic pragmatism of a cat."

She felt a little sad when he disappeared before her eyes.

Monologuing alone when the moon was so beautiful in the sky was very sad.

"I think I want to learn more about you."

He wanted an answer, if she could have one.

"Get back here, Shouta."

A warm breeze blew.

"I'll miss you when you're not here", Nonoo Seika said.

Her voice trailed, then disappeared.

And then, a boy appeared under the moonlight.

He was tearing up.

Nonoo Seika stood up and walked to him.

The girl stopped in front of the boy and smiled.

"Welcome back."

Then, she put her hands on the boy's cheeks and whispered.

"You're shaking. Was it cold at the moon?"

The boy closed his eyes.

"I didn't go to the moon.", he shook his head.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

July 28th, Friday.

On 11:30 AM, Asai Kei and Haruki Misora were sitting side by side on a park's bench. The park with the clock exactly 5 minutes late. Kei never told anyone about it, but he really liked that clock.

The effects of a Save only last 72 hours. For that reason, Kei and Haruki arranged to meet every 72 hours to Save, as they were doing now. In about 20 minutes, the previous Save—from July 25th—would expire.

The park was barren of people.

Two boys sat at the sandpit. No one else there. Kei watched the sand hill that formed between them.

"Come to think of it.", said Haruki.

She waited for Kei to look at her before she continued.

"There are a few things I didn't understand about Kusakabe Shouta."

It's been 3 days since Kei and Haruki were involved in the boy's incident.

The incident probably didn't interest Haruki much. But it did interest her enough for her to bring it up as a way to pass time.

"What is it?", asked Kei.

"You concluded that Kusakabe Shouta's ability wasn't the power to go to the moon, correct?"

"Yeah, his ability is to disappear and nothing else."

But an outside observer was unable to differentiate the ability to disappear and the ability to go to the moon.

"Then he was lying about picking up sand from the moon?"

"Well, he couldn't have been telling the truth. Not that it ever matter if the moon sand was real or fake."

A boy tried to give a girl the best gift he could provide. That's all there was to it.

Haruki was confused.

"Couldn't he have come back immediately if he was just pretending to go to the moon?"

He was invisible for two whole days on purpose.

"He wanted to vanish before Nonoo's eyes in a moonlit night. He must have thought this would make the farce more convincing. And the night he got to find her coincidentally was July 24th. From there, the situation demanded he'd stay hidden until the day he'd move out."

"What was forcing him to?"

"His real ability needed to stay a secret. People would be able to tell he was lying about going to the moon. In short, he was hiding from the Bureau."

This entire plan was only to validate one inept and almost pointless lie. 

"How did you find out that his ability didn't do anything more than disappearing?"

"Oh, that was so easy it's almost dumb."

He didn't want to talk about it for how easy it was, but it was also nothing worth hiding.

"I was grabbing Shouta's shirt when he was disappearing before my eyes."

"Right. And?"

"He vanished, but I could still feel myself holding his shirt."

That wouldn't happen with an ability to go to the moon. Kei could still tell where the invisible boy was.

"Understood.", Haruki nodded.

Kei checked the time on his phone. They were 10 minutes away from being able to Save again.

Right when he was about to return his phone to his pocket, he heard the notification sound.

It was a call. The screen displayed Nonoo's name. He pressed the pickup button and heard her voice.

"Anything you're wanting to eat?"

(That was abrupt.)

Kei answered the question anyway.

"I could go for some ice cream right now."

The day was hot enough that simply sitting on a park bench already made him sweaty.

"Sure, I'll buy you some. I'm even willing to pay for Häagen-Dazs if you like it."

He was surprised. That felt extremely wrong. She was the only high school girl he knew that felt out-of-character saying the name Häagen-Dazs.

"Ask if Haruki has anything she wants and call me back.", she continued.

"She's right next to me, actually…"

Kei looked at Haruki.

She looked at him with no expression in particular. If anything, she looked upset.

"What's this about?", Kei asked the phone.

"It's about Shouta."

"He moved yesterday, right?"

"Yeah. But that part doesn't matter."

As usual, her phrasing was heartless.

"Whenever someone helps me guide someone lost in the mountains, I feed them something of their choice. Last time, it was cheese.", Nonoo giggled.

The Story of the Boy Who Left to Pick Up Sand from the Moon (Sagrada Reset 4) - Chapter 2

[INDEX]

Since Nonoo said she wouldn't leave the shrine until it was dark, Kei and Haruki decided to stay with her. Admiring the night sky wouldn't help them find Kusakabe Shouta, but mission or no mission, the summer vacation was the ideal occasion to watch the stars.

Kei and Haruki climbed down the mountain, passed through the main shrine, bought onigiri and sandwiches at the nearest convenience store, and returned to the shrine to share the food with Nonoo. Upon giving an onigiri to the cats, they relinquished their space on the stone staircase for Kei and Haruki to seat. After taking a bite of her sandwich, Nonoo commented about it having cheese.

The sun only went down at 7 PM. One hour before it, the white moon already showed up in the eastern sky.

The moon was bigger than it were half a month ago. As its surroundings grew darker, the moon began to reflect the sun's light and shine beautifully. Even on the hottest season, the serene moon looked chill.

(Is there a boy collecting sand on the moon right now? The moon's surface must be very cold.)

"Can you recognize the constellations, Kei?"

There were no streetlights or bright billboards next to the shrine. The night sky had plenty of stars littered across its dark blue infinitely close to a black.

Kei shook his head.

"I'm confident I can get a question about them right in the science test, but that's about it."

The stars shining in the sky don't care about anyone's opinions, so they don't bother complying to the constellation diagrams about them. Kei liked the night sky but never had any interest in constellations. 

"That one looks like Orion to me."

But Orion is a winter constellation. It allegedly also appears on summer in the early morning, but it being in the sky at that time was inconceivable.

"Do you know the constellations?"

"I don't know a lot either. I believe the Summer Triangle is maybe over that way."

"Then that's Cygnus."

Deneb was a component of the Summer Triangle. It's the brightest star in the Cygnus and lies 1800 light-years away from Earth. With very powerful light, it emitted about 50000 times the amount of energy the Sun did.

None of this information helped identify which star was Deneb. He was pretty confident he found the one, but pointing and calling the name didn't deliver the answer. Besides, when seen from Earth, the Moon's mirror of sunlight looked a lot brighter than Deneb. 

"What did you and Shouta usually talk about?", Kei asked with his eyes still up to sky.

"It was always about the moon and the stars. Also about that one cat. In retrospect, I don't know much about him.", Nonoo answered relaxedly.

"Do you know anything that happened at his school?"

"Nothing. Shouta didn't talk much about himself."

"He's a lot like you, Nonoo."

"You're the same when it comes to not talking about yourself.", she giggled. "I already had this same conversation with Shouta. That's probably what I like about that boy."

"How he doesn't make the conversation about himself?"

"Yeah."

"You prefer to keep conversations short?"

"I don't prefer anything. I'm just not interested. When I'm chatting with someone, I don't care about their past or their daily routine."

"It doesn't matter if you're talking to a criminal or to the king of another nation?"

"Yeah, doesn't matter. I say something and they reply. There's this back-and-forth. Nothing else is essential."

(I can somewhat relate. That's one way to have an impartial perspective. Correct words don't become less correct by coming out the mouth of a liar. Wrong words don't become less wrong by coming out the mouth of an honest person. If every word is treated with due attention, their context grows less significant. But…)

"Does that mean you see no difference between the words of a friend, the words of a lover, and the words of a complete stranger?"

"If they're saying the same thing, who is saying it doesn't change a thing. Life's a lot easier if you can think like that.", she nodded.

He strongly identified with her answer but hearing it said out loud felt cruel.

Kei shifted his attention to Haruki's profile. She watched the starry sky in silence.

"Nonoo, did you say the same thing to Shouta?"

"Uh-huh."

"Your mindset is very fair and a little unfair.", Kei spoke after some hesitation.

"I don't get it. You're contradicting yourself.", she answered with no confused reaction.

Conversation that exclude the backgrounds of the parties are faithful to the words said. But they're not faithful to the person speaking. They sound fair to the conversation itself but unfair to their personal relationship. Because one facet of developing intimacy is reframing the meaning of previous actions and words. And because when you repeat something, you want your voice to reach deeper for one specific person.

Kei decided to ask a mean question.

"Will it make any difference to you if Shouta dies, but you have someone else to talk about the stars and the moon in his place?"

He didn't know what were Kusakabe Shouta's feelings for Nonoo Seika. But he disappeared in front of Nonoo and promised to meet her on the day he'd move away. It's very likely he thought of her something more than a simple acquaintance.

Nonoo subtly lowered her gaze.

"No, that's not how it works."

"Yes, I know."

"I can see someone as special, like anyone can."

"I know the feeling."

Kei internally sighed. He clearly said too much.

Kusakabe Shouta's and Nonoo Seika's relationship didn't need Kei's input. That was for Shouta to deal with. It's not something Kei should take away from him.

Haruki pointed to the stars.

"That one is probably Vega."

She's been searching for the Summer Triangle this whole time.

But Kei couldn't tell what was the star she was pointing to.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The trio watched the night sky by the shrine until 8:30 PM.

After that, they climbed down the dark mountain relying on the moon's light. They could hear frogs in the distance. The streetlamps and traffic lights seen below the mountain looked awfully bright.

The mountain track eventually led to a narrow stone staircase going to the side of the main shrine. The main shrine had its own set of stone stairs leading to the streets. 

Kei wanted to walk Nonoo home but she refused.

"That's the usual time for me.", Nonoo said. She told them her house was very close to the place. Kei found no need to push it, and parted ways with Nonoo in front of the main shrine.

He and Haruki walked the night streets side by side. His steps were slightly shorter than they are when he's walking alone.

She looked at the starry sky again.

"What's sand from the moon like?"

"Just basalt sand with smaller grains."

"Do you find that beautiful, Kei?"

"Not sure. The moon looks prettier to me when seen from Earth."

"Why did Kusakabe Shouta went to take sand from the moon?"

"Don't know. It was probably the only decent idea he had."

(The only idea he had for a good enough gift for Nonoo.)

Kei didn't know Nonoo all too well.

He could please her by buying cream puffs, but he couldn't think of what would be a more memorable present. She didn't seem to care about clothes and accessories.

The only thing he could say for certain Nonoo liked was cats. But giving away a cat as a present would probably offend her. That was not the way she interacted with cats.

"It's hard to find a present the person will like.", Kei said.

"I was pleased by the hairpin you gave me, Kei", Haruki responded.

Kei gave Haruki a hairpin as a present exactly 10 days ago.

"I cheated on that one."

"What do you mean?"

"That's confidential. Still, I'm glad you enjoyed it."

Words existed to convey messages, but not every message needed to be passed. However, Nonoo Seika and Kusakabe Shouta lacked enough conversation, in Kei's opinion.

"Supposed you wanted to give someone a present."

"I do. I want to give you something in return for the hairpin."

"Thank you, but don't bother.", Kei quickly shook his head before continuing. "Anyway, Haruki, what do you do when you want to give someone a present but you don't know what they like?"

"I ask them what they want."

"Very constructive approach, but that's not always the right call."

"How so?"

"I believe there are presents that you must choose yourself. At times like this, you need to look at all of their words and actions to guess what's the best pick."

Haruki was puzzled.

"Is the return gift for the hairpin one of those I must think about on my own?"

"No, that's not it at all."

Kei was getting upset at how he couldn't make the conversation about Nonoo and Shouta, but not enough to shut down Haruki's topic, so he switched to the listener role.

"I believed it should also be an accessory to match the hairpin, but you don't tend to wear any.", she said.

"Yeah, putting trinkets on is a chore and they don't make me look much better."

"But you often wear a wristwatch."

"Only when necessary. Most of the time, I look at my phone to check the time."

He'd rather avoid those predicaments that necessitate him to learn what time it is at a mere flick of the wrist.

"Then how about a book?"

"I prefer buying my own reads."

"Now that you mention it, you never go to the library."

"Yeah, I love the mood of the library but I can't deal with having return dates."

He wanted to avoid packing his scheduled as much as possible. Generally, the blanker a calendar was, the better.

Haruki nodded.

"Understood."

"Understood what?"

"Choosing presents is difficult."

Kei and Haruki walked the night streets side by side. 

The moon slowly moved from the east sky to the south. 

Did Kusakabe Shouta really go there?

The only thing certain was that a boy disappeared last night.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the next day–July 26th–Kusakabe Shouta still hadn't returned home.

Kei met Haruki at 11:30 AM.

The two sat together at a small park bench.

The large clock in front of them was precisely 5 minutes late. Every time they've been there, it's been 5 minutes late. No more, no less. Would anyone ever fix the time? Was the 5-minute delay intentional? They'd never know. Perhaps the moral of the story is that there's nothing wrong with public clocks being late.

Kei and Haruki were the only ones in the park. No one in the sandbox, no one on the swings, no one on the slide. The playground equipment devoid of children didn't feel legitimate. It looked like curio modeled after a real playground.

The loud voices of the cicadas were the only source of noise. Straining his ears enough, he could hear a TV in the distance, but not audibly enough to make out what it was saying.

Their last Save was July 23rd at noon. The two were on the same bench of the same park. Almost 72 hours had passed since then. It takes 72 hours for the Save's effect to run out.

Kei stared at time display on his phone. It reached 11:45:00. The park's delayed clock marked 11:40:00.

"It's time.", said Kei. 

Haruki Misora's ability was called Reset.

The whole world returns to how it was in the moment of the Save if she merely wills it. The rewind may be simulated, but she can turn back time up to 3 days in total. It was a very powerful and disruptive ability.

Kei's role was to press the switch.

"Haruki."

He never once gave the sign to use this ability without hesitating. He never once let his hesitation stop him from giving the sign.

Under the blue sky, the boy spoke a word with outward composure.

"Reset."

One word to wreck the world. One word to start it over from its remains.

For a short time, the continuous voice of the cicadas seemed to be interrupted.
