Reborn to take over the stage Chapter 259: The Child Who Chose to Disappear
Nobody spoke.Mila's mother stood in the doorway, holding the photograph between her fingers.Samuel stared at her.“No,” he whispered.She looked at him sadly. “You don't remember because someone taught you to believe that forgetting was the same as being innocent.”Samuel shook his head.“I would never separate a child from his body.”“You did it to yourself.”The words struck the room like a thunderclap.The First One slowly rose to its feet.“Explain.”Mila's mother looked at Adrian, then at Samuel.“The child you loved was dying. His body could no longer sustain his consciousness. You searched for a way to preserve him, but every attempt failed. You became desperate.”She turned toward the First One.“You were so afraid of losing him that you refused to accept what he wanted.”The First One's face twisted with pain.“He wanted to live.”“Yes. But he also wanted the freedom to decide what living meant.”Samuel closed his eyes.A faint light appeared beneath his skin.Mila moved cl

Nobody moved.The First One stood in the doorway, holding a knife that reflected no light. Its face shifted between the woman who had held Adrian, the ancient figure who had haunted their memories, and a stranger whose features none of them recognized.Mila stepped closer to Ethan.The First One looked at Noah.“You remember.”Noah did not answer.“You remember what you did to my son.”Adrian stirred in Samuel's arms.“Stop calling me your son.”The First One's expression broke.For a moment, it looked less like an ancient consciousness and more like a parent hearing a painful truth for the first time.“I searched for you across every world I could reach.”“You searched for a version of me that would never leave you.”“I wanted you back.”“You wanted me to belong to you.”The knife trembled in the First One's hand.Samuel moved between them.“Put it down.”The First One barely glanced at him.“You have no idea what it means to lose someone.”Samuel's eyes filled with sadness.“I know

The stranger disappeared, but his shadow remained.It stretched across the laboratory floor, moving independently of the emergency lights. Its long fingers crawled toward Mila and the baby in her arms.Ethan stepped in front of them.“Stay back.”The shadow stopped.Then it spoke with Ethan's voice.You cannot protect everyone, Ethan.Ethan clenched his fists.“I don't have to protect everyone from every consequence. But I won't let you take their choices away.”The shadow laughed.You learned the words. You still haven't learned what they cost.The golden light beneath the floor turned black.Samuel grabbed Daniel's arm.“Get everyone away from the crack!”Before Daniel could respond, the shadow split into three separate shapes. One rushed toward Richard. Another stretched toward Adrian. The third shot directly at Mila.“Mila!” Ethan shouted.She moved before he could reach her.Instead of running, Mila placed Adrian carefully in Samuel's arms and stepped toward the approaching shado
Reborn to take over the stage Chapter 247:Mila
Adrian screamed so violently that Mila nearly dropped him.Ethan caught the baby before he slipped from her arms.The darkness swallowed the laboratory. Somewhere beneath their feet, metal scraped against metal, followed by a deep, rhythmic sound that resembled a heartbeat.Once.Twice.Then the voice spoke again.You have spent so long searching for the beginning that you never considered what existed before it.Samuel raised his head.“Show yourself.”A soft laugh came from beneath the floor.You still believe that every voice deserves a body.“No,” Samuel replied. “But every voice deserves the chance to speak without taking someone else's life.”The heartbeat stopped.For several seconds, nothing happened.Then the emergency lights flickered on.A narrow crack had appeared in the floor between Samuel and Daniel. It stretched from one wall to the other, revealing a faint golden glow beneath the concrete.Richard backed away.“No. That chamber was destroyed.”Ethan turned toward him.

Richard collapsed.The baby was still in Mila's arms, his tiny fingers wrapped around hers. Yet the voice that had come from his mouth belonged to someone who had lived long before him.Father, why did you burn my house?Richard stared at the child.“I didn't know you were there.”The baby's golden eyes narrowed.“You knew someone was there.”Richard's lips trembled.“I thought the body was empty.”“You thought it was empty because you never asked.”The words struck Richard harder than any accusation Ethan could have made.Ethan moved closer to Mila.“Who is speaking through him?”Samuel stood motionless, his attention fixed on the child.“Not the First One.”“Then who?”Samuel swallowed.“The original consciousness that survived the first transfer.”Noah stepped forward.“That's impossible. The original consciousness was fragmented.”“Parts of it were,” Samuel replied. “But we never established that every fragment belonged to the same person.”Mila looked down at the baby.“Can you h

Nobody moved.The baby stared at Mila with completely black eyes.The woman holding him smiled as if nothing unusual had happened.“Come closer, sweetheart. Your brother wants to meet you.”Mila tightened her grip on Ethan's hand.“My brother?”The woman nodded.“You have been looking for him for a very long time.”Mila turned toward her mother.“Mommy, who is that woman?”Her mother looked as though she had seen a ghost.“I don't know.”The woman inside the room laughed softly.“You always say that when you're afraid of remembering.”Mila's mother stepped forward.“Who are you?”The woman's smile faded.“You carried me before you carried Mila. You heard me crying after they told you I was gone. You begged Richard to find me, and when he told you to stop searching, you believed him.”Richard stumbled backward.“No.”The woman adjusted the baby in her arms.“You remember now, don't you?”Mila's mother pressed her hands against her temples.“I remember a baby crying.”“You remember more
