(Reincarnation, what is it?)

A handsome man is walking in a lavender savanna. He doesn't remember the last time he died.

(I did die. But I died to save my beloved.)

Stretching his arms, he tries to enjoy the warmth of the weather, closing his eyes. Those eyes are wide open when a man, who had become an inspector in the police force, realizes that he has an important task that day.

(It took me 20 years not to shoot someone...)

The handsome man then makes his way to the bathroom.

He turns on the shower and starts revealing the muscles he has formed through his training over the years.

(Becoming a police inspector has been my childhood dream.)

The sound of rushing water washes away every psychological burden he carries. His mind keeps thinking that today he might crack a case involving important people.

His eyes scan the wall, and he exhales with hope. Droplets of water dampen his brownish-copper hair. His white skin was as smooth as porcelain.

"Hhhhhhh......"

He closes his eyes and runs his wet hair through his body, hoping the water will provide answers for him.

(I'm not a religious person. I don't believe in reincarnation because I always use my logic to find answers.)

The man takes his towel and wraps it around his lower body. He takes a hairdryer and dries his wet hair.

(I don't know why I always have recurring patterns in my dreams.)

The sound of the hairdryer breaks the morning silence. After putting on his uniform, he walks towards the parking lot.

"Good morning, Mr. Damien. I hope you have a great day." greets one of his neighbors.

"Ah, good morning, ma'am. I wish you a pleasant morning too."

(I am not married. And I don't know how to spoil a wife. But today, I'm sure I'll solve that big case.)

He arrives at the office on time. Reporters are crowding in front of the office lobby.

"Excuse me, sir. Can we know the progress of the case you are currently handling?" asks reporter A.

"So far, I'm still investigating. Just wait for the results," says the man kindly.

He enters his investigation office and closes the door quietly. Another man realizes that the person he was waiting for is now behind him, "You've come, I see? Read this," he says, handing over the latest news report.

The newly arrived man then reaches for the morning newspaper shown by the plump man. His eyes search for more accurate information. Moving along with the news flow, which has become his hope in handling the major case he is dealing with.

"I heard there was a thief who broke into the grand Diagon Alley museum. And you know the same report was found at the Diagon Alley Cemetery too," says the chubby man, now standing up.
