When I Turned the Television On

When I Turned The Television On.

| Alice Midorikawa |

"Alice, is something bugging you? You've been so distant the past few days."
"...Simon."
"Say what?"
"Simon Parker."
"Simon who?"
"My long lost cousin."
"What? You never told me anything about him!"
"I didn't know..."
"Alice?"
"Simon Parker..."
"Dammit, Alice!"

Renn rubs her eyes in frustration.

"...why didn't you tell me?"
"I don't know..."
"What's happening to you?"
"I'm perfectly fine, Renn..."
"Oh my God, I don't get you! I'm sorry, Alice. I think you need time alone."
"..."

I see Renn's eyes well up with tears and she looks away.
She grabs her bag then leaves.

"Goodbye, Alice! I love you!"

She walks away, leaving me alone on the bench.

"Simon... Seth..."

I still can't believe it.

Simon and Seth are so alike.

I mean...

The hair.
The nose.
The lips.
The arms.
The eyes.
The way he moves.

I know it.
I feel it.

Simon must be Seth!

No.
I can't make any mistake now.

My suspicions must be true!

I can't be wrong.

I head fast back home, desperate to find out if my thoughts speak the right thing.
