According to Emma in the manga version of TPN, Seven Walls is a Space-Time, and this place is unstable

In short, the space and time in this place are chaotic, but it is something that transcends time and place, which humans cannot control. I guess I can call this as a part of the Demon God's realm.

This is the place where he played Ray and Emma when they were searching for him.

Anyway, there is a way to intervene in the time and space in this place, and that is with the use of our conscious and unconscious minds. To be precise, our minds are connected to the Seven Walls, and anything that we will think and unconsciously thinks about will affect this place.

For example, the thought that came into my mind as soon as I entered this place was the world of my previous life. My world as Y/N, where I go to school, where I live, and the place where I can meet my brother...

I consciously and unconsciously thought of that...

Who would've thought that It would work tho? And currently, the Seven Walls is playing one of my unforgettable moments while I was  Y/N... This memory is one of my most hated ones...

Not because I died on this day, I can't even remember the day or the reason I died, I can't remember why I reincarnated as Conny...

It's just... this memory is the memory that broke me the most.

I glanced at the reflection of myself in a window, I almost forgot what I looked like. I guess I got used to my Conny reflection. Looking at my previous face, It feels weird to see my hair color black.

KRINGGG! KRING!

I raised my brows when the phone in my hands suddenly rang, I suddenly felt excited thinking that I could use a phone in this place, it's been a while since I saw and touched a phone, I missed this thing more than my reflection.

I shook my head with a smile as I decided to open my phone, but my smile was immediately wiped out as soon as I saw the name of the Caller.

'Brother Leslie'

I paused for a moment before answering the call.

Maybe this will be the last time that I'll be able to talk to my little brother. I will seize this chance to talk to him one more time, even if all of this is only a part of my memory... 

Even if all of this is my imagination.

"Sister, when will I be able to go home?" That was the first question of that familiar voice. My eyes quivered as soon as I heard that voice. "I miss playing with you, you said you're going to watch animes with me."

I stayed silent for a moment.

"We are in the Philippines, why are you speaking English, you little prick?" I replied to him with a chuckle. "You're just as exactly as how I can remember you."

"What do you mean? Today is English policy day, we agreed to this policy in order to improve your Not-so-good Grammar and English," The voice replied to me in a confused tone. "By the way, the doctor said I can go home now, can you fetch me, sister?"

My eyes fell to the ground as soon as I heard that familiar words.

Going home, huh? I can't even go back to my previous world now.

"You know what, you're a liar," I said to my brother as I began to walk out of the mall. "You know that the Doctor never told you that, you can't trick me, stupid Leslie."

"Lying...?Who's lying--- Oh, by the way, sister," the voice suddenly changed the topic, making me frown. "I think you left your printed TPN picture of Oliver in the hospital. The Doctor saw it on the table and--"

"FUDGE! STOP! STOP! You are changing the topic!" I shouted as my cheeks blushed like a tomato. "I don't have a crush on Oliver anymore, I'll have to forget him."

What kind of place is this?! Why is it even so realistic?!

"Hmm, how odd of you," The voice commented which made me shake my head. "Are you sure you're in the right mind today, Sister?"

"Probably," I mumbled as I smiled bitterly. "Anyway, you said that you wanted to go home, would you really like that? Maybe the Doctor will discharge you if I talk to him, let's play chess tonight..."

"I will really like that," The voice replied sweetly to me. "I love you sister, you are always the best."

How sweet of you...

I wish this is real...

"I love you too, Leslie..." I mumbled as I stopped walking. "But by the way..."

"What is it, Sister?"

"You..." I mumbled coldly. 

"Sister?"

"You can stop acting as my brother. I know that you are not him, although I am thankful that I'll be able to talk to him through you," I mumbled with a weak, before dropping the paper bag in my hands.

"Sister, you're talking weirdly right now, what are you saying...?"

"I said you can stop now..." I mumbled with a sad tone. "No matter how attached I was to my brother, you won't be able to sway me while using his voice and his memories..."

"Sister..."

"Are you the Demon God? You can play me all you want but not through this," I bluntly told him as I took a deep sigh. "Never mind, Goodbye now."

And with that, I ended that call.

My eyes went to the blue sky when I felt a tear dropping from my eyes. I thought I'll be able to forget the pain of this day, but I guess that was not the case at all. Replaying this memory was like stabbing my heart a thousand times.

I wish I really said that to 'Leslie'...

That he can finally go home with me...

At least his numbered days at that Hospital will be replaced with a happy memories with me in our colorful home.

I gripped my phone tightly before placing it in my pocket. 

My saddened face suddenly replaced with determination after taking a deep breath.

I already did what I wanted to do, and said what I wanted to say. I can't forget what I really need to do while I'm in this place!

I cannot stay crappy like this! 

I have to find that Ray right now! 

I haven't seen him yet!

'No fun, how Boring of you'

"Huh?" I mumbled when I heard a voice in my head. I glanced at my surroundings but when I saw no one, I just shook my head and decided not to say anything anymore. "It's probably because I'm inside of the Seven Walls..."

And with that, I started to run throughout this place as I searched for Ray, I was about to run in another direction when I suddenly heard a noise.

"Nagpapakamatay ka ba?!" (Are you trying to get yourself killed?!)

And I saw Ray sitting on the road with a confused face.

Well...

Sh*t...

Why are you sitting on a road, Ray?!

••••••••••••••

Present

"Prove your claim, no matter how I look at it, you look nothing like Conny," Ray mumbled before crossing both of his hands. He stared at me intently with a frown on his face. "I cannot disregard the probability that you're an enemy."

If there is something that I forgot as soon as I approached this guy here, is the fact that I am currently not the Conny that he knows.

"I am Conny," I told him as I took a deep sigh, "Want an evidence? Well, do you still remember when Emma almost cursed you when I said that I want you to be my 'Prince' that's a funny memory, HAHAHAHA."

But Ray remained with a poker face.

"How about... When Norman pretended to be sick? You were avoiding me that time..." I mumbled, he still doesn't have any reaction on his face. "You, Emma, and Norman tried to let me escape before the day of my shipment?"

Still no reaction, just a poker face...

Err, what's wrong with this Kid?

I am the older one right now!

"The Katipunan Code, The Notebook, it's me, Conny!" I said as if determined to make him believe it.

"Are you?" He asked.

"Huh? Am I?" I mumbled. "Wait... Wait! Wait! I am, Of course!"

"Let's say that I believe you," Ray mumbled as he closed his eyes with a smirk. "Then why do you look like that?"

"Heh-- Look what? Pretty?" I jested.

"You look Old," He savagely replied to me.

This piece of...

"Nevermind, you're always savage, what can I expect from you," I mumbled while rolling my eyes. "First of all, I will explain to you how this world works, and Secondly, I would like to ask if you still remember what I asked you on the day of my shipment..."

Ray stared at me as if my statement caught his attention.

A moment after that, he suddenly opened his mouth.

"Do you believe... In Reincarnation?" Ray said.

Of course, Ray remembered it like it happened yesterday.
