"Is everything okay, son?" Ahmed's father asked.

"I'm alright..." Ahmed replied while feeling a combination of anxiousness, nervousness, and fear. He's anxious because he doesn't know what will happen next, especially to his parents. He's nervous because this is his first time seeing his parents again, after losing his memories, even though he can't see their faces. And lastly, he's fearful because basing on why it's only him that got washed ashore to Eclipse village, he would most likely be seeing how his parents would die, or maybe they won't.

Hearing Ahmed's reply, his mother quickly hugged him while muttering, "That's good, that's good, it's all thanks to the Fate God!"

"Mother, what happened to your face?" Ahmed suddenly asked. Since he can't see their faces, then he should do something to let them describe it themselves.

Ahmed's mother quickly began checking her face, seemingly looking for what's wrong with it, "Is there something wrong?"

"Yeah... Do you always have an oval face?" Ahmed asked.

"Huh? My face has always been the shape of a heart."

"Oh, then your nose, was it always roman?"

"Did it deformed? It must be because I bump into a wall when we were escaping."

"Then, why is your eye deep-set?"

"Deep-set? Are you joking my boy, my eye's shape has always been almond?"

"Oh, then why is it red? Were you really worried about me?"

"How can my eyes turn red when it's black? Anyways, why are you asking me all of these silly questions? Are your eyes okay? Do you want me to bring someone to check on you?" Ahmed's mother asked worriedly.

"Just one last question." Ahmed quickly persuaded as he noticed that his mother was trying to dismiss the conversation.

"Okay..."

"What happened to your thin lips? And did something cut your hair short?"

"Nothing happened to my thin lips and my hair has always been short!" Ahmed's mother realized that her son must just be trying to lift her mood up, "Let's not joke around anymore."

Ahmed's mother stood up before walking towards the bow of the boat.

Now, it was only Ahmed and his father who were still facing him.

"Father, your square face is covered in injuries." Ahmed quickly began the same kind of interrogation to his father.

"What square face, my face has always been oblong, son! Is it perhaps my turn now to get a joke by you, hahahaha!" Ahmed's father laughed.

"Yes, hehehehe..." Ahmed acted.

"Okay, okay, hahahaha!" Ahmed's father replied, feeling intrigued.

"You have the same nose as mom?"

"Of course, we are practically of the same lineage, so of course our nose would look the same."

"Huh?" Ahmed quickly became curious, "So was mother your..."

"A very distant cousin from the branch of our clan. Did you hit your head or something while being escorted to the port?"

"Yes, that's why I'm making sure whether nothing is wrong with my memories. It was a pretty hard hit as well." Ahmed replied.

"Anyways, let's joke another time, I still need to check on our supplies." Ahmed's father waved his hand while slowly walking downstairs of the boat.

Ahmed just nodded his head in response. He had already got what he needed, so after this Consciousness Labyrinth, he could begin his search.

"Consciousness Labyrinth... What is this thing again..." Ahmed asked himself.

Outside of the Consciousness Labyrinth, Leo's eyes right after turned serious the moment he realized that Ahmed doesn't seem to know about the Consciousness Labyrinth anymore.

"I'll go check on those people in-charged with the Consciousness Labyrinth, you guys stay here!" Leo quickly bid farewell to Diana and the others, "Blaze, I'll leave them to you for a moment."

Blaze nodded his head in understanding. With his experience in watching people do the Consciousness Labyrinth, those words that Ahmed had said to himself are basically the start of believing that what they're seeing is the reality.

Leo quickly runs towards the door just right beside the door of the Consciousness Labyrinth. It was a hidden door that looked similar to the wall of the room, so no one was able to notice it. It was created in such an inconspicuous way so that no one would be able to enter the control room casually. But he doesn't care about it getting found out by the others because right now he's in a rush to check on Ahmed's current status. Anyways, people would change the location of that door on a weekly basis, so there is nothing too big to worry about.

Arriving inside the control room on the top of the room, the people in-charged just nodded their heads to Leo before they continued checking with the Consciousness Labyrinth once again.

Well, everyone in the Mischievous Lion organization knows about Leo, so there is no need to ask whether he has the right to go up to the control room or not.

"How is he?" Leo went straight to his business of going up here.

"He's now mildly believing that what he's seeing right now is the reality." A bald professor replied.

"Did something abnormal happened, though?" Leo can't help asking.

"Actually, I don't know whether it's abnormal or not. I'll just show you so that you can better understand the situation..." The bald professor motioned for Leo to follow after him.

Leo just nodded his head in response before quickly following after the bald professor.

Soon after, they arrived in some kind of rectangular box where there is a standing human figure image, a limiter like status, and many more things that Leo doesn't really bother knowing the name about. The only thing he cares about is this rectangular box is what shows Ahmed's current status.

"So, what's wrong?" Leo observed Ahmed's status, and he quickly noticed that everything was just normal. So, what was the so-called abnormal here?

"What do you see right now?" The bald professor asked.

"Everything is normal." Leo replied.

"Nothing else, right?"

"Yes..."

"That's exactly the problem right now, everything is normal!"

"Huh?" Leo was dumbfounded. Doesn't normal means it's all fine, that there is nothing wrong with the person inside the Consciousness Labyrinth? So, how did it become a problem?

"It's like this when a person is currently inside the Consciousness Labyrinth, their minds would usually go up and down between believing that this is the reality or not. However, that person's mind right now is not experiencing that. In fact, despite mildly believing that what he's seeing is the reality, it's like he isn't even doing the Consciousness Labyrinth right now and instead just watching a theater show. And over here too, as you have noticed, his brain right now also shows that everything is normal, but how could that be when he's currently receiving his fears and traumatic past experiences. Even Queen Olivia would have a slight change in her brain status, not to mention a mere No Star person. What's even more shocking is, this person's spirit is currently inside the Consciousness Labyrinth right now, so why is everything that we are seeing only a reflection of what had happened to his past. No traumatic experiences, no fears. There was even not a single bit of someone or something attacking him yet. Everything is just normal." The bald professor explained anxiously.

"Isn't that good..." Leo asked, feeling confused. When he watched other people doing the Consciousness Labyrinth in the past, they also show the same status as Ahmed's, but why is Ahmed's status a problem?

Obviously, he knows he's not a professional on this kind of thing. But basing on his experiences, he believes that there is nothing wrong.

"Were you listening to what I've just said? Let me repeat it for you again, but in the most basic of all terms. What is happening to him right now is normal? No changes or of any sort of thing had happened in this person's status from the very beginning of the Consciousness Labyrinth? No rise, not fall, no up and downs at all, or even a slight bit of reaction to at least one of his brain or spirit."

"Oh..." Leo finally understood everything. This bald professor should have said that there is no changes or reaction from the very beginning, instead of blubbering that everything is normal. Who would even know where the problem lies when everything is normal, right? This bald professor's explanation was basically like this; Ahmed is normal, his brain is normal, and his spirit is also normal, but all of that equals to him being abnormal. Just when was normal equal to being abnormal?

"Do you understand now?" The bald professor wanted to confirm.

"A little, but just continue with what you are talking." Leo motioned for the bald professor to continue. No matter how this professor explains to him, he would never be able to understand it because he doesn't even understand how exactly those shown in the rectangular box works.

"Like what I've mentioned a while ago, it's like he's not experiencing the Consciousness Labyrinth at all, but instead something else."

"And what is that so-called something else?" Leo immediately became interested because it is his first time hearing that the Consciousness Labyrinth did something that wasn't supposedly its purpose.

"Basing on what is shown inside that person's Consciousness Labyrinth, specifically the jumping from one scene to another, what is happening to him right now should be a recollection of his past. In layman's term, he's remembering his past." The bald professor explained, "So, let me ask you this question to confirm my theory; did that person lost his memories?"

Hearing the bald professor's words, Leo became astonished. Instead of being attacked by one's greatest fear and traumatic past experiences, Ahmed is actually just remembering his forgotten memories of his past? If that's indeed the case, then everything is great. No, it's perfect, because in this way they will know what exactly happened to Ahmed for him to wash ashore to Eclipse village.

"He indeed lost his memories of his past." Leo replied.

"Then that confirms my theory. That person right now is not undergoing the Consciousness Labyrinth, but a memory recollection of his fragmented memories inside his consciousness. I'll call it, Memory Fragments Reconstruction." The bald professor said while his eyes lit up brightly in excitement. He was like a person discovering something new that no one has ever discovered before, which is in fact what it really seems like right now.

"Oh-kay... So, how long would this so-called Memory Fragments Reconstruction take? A few hours? A day? A week? A month?" Leo asked. They were in a rush right now, so he needs confirmation so that he can immediately take the next step of action.

"I don't exactly know... I think it would depend on how many fragments of lost memories that person needed to reconstruct. But I'm guessing it would take around a month or a year, really hard to assume."

"That..." Leo became speechless. If it would take that long, then they might as well forget the other half of his people being able to enter the Mischievous Lion organization's Headquarters since the war would most likely be finished already the moment Ahmed wakes up, or would he even be able to? No one knows...

"I know about your current dilemma, so I'll just personally grant you this so-called right of entry bull crap that the Vice-president had created in the past." The bald professor said as he put his right hand on Leo's shoulder.

Hearing that, Leo nodded his head before finally leaving the control room. There was no need to stay any longer since they were already granted the right of entry. Also, there is no need to worry about Ahmed, he will wake up if he can and continue sleeping forever if he can't.. Right now, what would happen next is entirely in Ahmed's hand.
