ld I do now? For the moment, I had to throw away the failed mixture in the beaker.

 

I stood up slowly.
I noticed that the color of the beaker’s contents was different from usual.

 

What?

 

…Orange? 

 

There was a light orange liquid in the beaker.
…It was not a filthy color.

 

“Is this right?”


 

I brought my face close to the beaker and sniffed it.
There was almost no smell at all, but it smelled somewhat sweet.

 

My head was confused, but my whole body felt joy.
I had never been so happy.

 

Something hot welled up from the bottom of my heart, and my teary glands became loose.

 

I was happy, I was delighted….
I had succeeded.
All my desperate efforts had not been in vain.

 

Even if I couldn’t get my hands on Maddie, I was able to create a cure.

 

“Now I can save the lives I would not have been able to save before.”

 

Hey, Alicia, I did it.
I did my best.

 


So come home soon.
Look at what I have accomplished.

 

I spoke to Alicia over and over in my mind.
Even though I knew she would not reply, I could not help but tell her.

 

I was certain that Alicia would hug me and say, “That’s my Gilles!”.

 

I exhaled a sigh of relief as I imagined her.

 

All I had to do now was to take this and go see Gramps.
Gramps’ disease had progressed to such a degree that even if he took medicine now, he would probably not survive.

 

While I begged him to live, I was also well aware of his predicament.

 

Even so, I was hoping that this medicine might prolong his life even a little.
I was holding on to that hope.

 

I transferred the orange liquid from the beaker into a bottle and rushed out of the room.
