its a nice and warm day of June, and miyawaki sakura couldn't feel more lucky able to spend such good day on a beautiful mountain, surrounded by pure nature.
Miyawaki sakura looking at her surroundings, so green, and peaceful, she then proceed fill her lungs with the sweet fresh mountain air. sakura close her eyes...try to seep more of the magnificent peaceful nature that--
"GOSH! Sakura!!! look at that tree sakura!!!! theres a weird looking bird there!!!"
Sakura gritted her teeth, almost forget other person are there with her
"Sakura!!! look!!! look a king beetle!!!! "
sakura release a weak sigh, turn around and look at her partner. Matsui Jurina looks far from peaceful and calm, she is running and jumping around, try to catch some bugs. sakura pierced her eyes "Jurina, focus will you? we here for a job remember?" the one being called just keep running jumping around energetically. "Jurina? hello??" sakura called again, and again being ignored. sakura let out another sigh, just when sakura trying to ease her energetic partner a bit, Jurina abruptly stop her puppy like act, startled sakura a bit by the surprise halt
"our destination!" the puppy- I mean Jurina said, pointing a mansion that emerge from behind the thick tree canopy
sakura look at the mansion in the middle of mountain "yes...our destination"
--
Sakura knock the big wooden door assertively, not long after, the door swing open, revealed an old lady behind the door
"Hi, im Dr. Miyawaki and this is my partner..."
"Hey there! Dr. matsui here"
the lady look at them both indecisively, before slowly nodded and smile " this way please, she's been waiting for you"
sakura and jurina following the lady entering the house, sakura eyes catch a shiny grand piano, centering the living room, her eyes then unconsciously shifted to Jurina, and stay there a bit longer than she intends to
"so..is it true?" the lady voice snap sakura back from her wondrous mind
"u-um... excuse me?"
"that you could granted any wishes?"
"well...depends--"
"Yup we could! and we never fail!" Jurina cut Sakura sentence off. sakura pierced her eyes to Jurina, only to returned by Jurina charming innocent smile.
they followed the lady to a room in the far corner of the house
"she is here" the lady said, and open the door
a strong medicine stench invading sakura nose right away, the room filled with monitors, cables and medical appliances, all of that connected to the middle of the room, to a single bed with someone lays on it.
"... how long she have left?"
"the doctor just said we are lucky if she could make it for another 24 hours"
"thats enough... we gonna start now, right Jurina? Jurina?" sakura look around to find her partner, find Jurina has made her way to the white bed
"jurina, c'mon, we have job to do"
but Jurina eyes fixed to the person on the bed "Kahiwagi Yuki, 80 years old" Jurina whisper. sakura not sure why Jurina murmuring their client name. but the name soon resounding in Sakura head too
'Kashiwagi Yuki'
"Jurina...shall we start?" Jurina give one quick nod. "is our equipment here already??" Jurina asked "yes, they arrived this morning, i put them in there" the lady pointing a pile of box in the corner. Jurina start arranged the complicated devices in the box , while sakura settled the paper work
"so, miss... um?"
"

"so mrs Sashihara, are you a family?"
"no. i'm Yuki personal nurse, she hired me two years ago, she don't have any living family left"
"both of you living together for this two years? "
"well..."
just at that time, a sound of Piano played hit the room
"I'm sorry, thats my kids, my kids and I live with Yuki san for the past two years"
"what song is that?" Jurina said from right beside Sakura, Makes Sakura heart almost stop beating, since who knows when, Jurina has standing beside her.
"ah, its the song Yuki always played, my daughters then start playing it too "
"your daughter plays very beautifully" Jurina said, smiling to the lady. sakura stole a glance to Jurina face, try to read whats in there, and a second late to avert her eyes away when Jurina looking back at her
"s-so,um i need you to sign our contract here, we also need to gather as much data and look around a bit before we start"
"sure, ask me anything you need"
"thanks Mrs.sashihara"
"and um...dr. miyawaki"
"yes?"
"Are you sure you could granted her wish? yuki last wish?"
"...yes"
"could you really, make her go to the moon?"
Sakura look into Sashihara eyes, she must be really fond to her employer.
"yes, we can"
---------------------------------
Jurina and sakura lurking around the house
"Kashiwagi Yuki, what make her want to go to the moon? theres no sign of astronomical admiration any where in this house " Jurina stating, while keep busy flipping piled books on the table
"it'll be nice if we could find a diary or something"
"*sigh* there is nothing in this study room, neither in her room. where should we look next?"
Sakura start thinking, but soon her focus diverted by Piano sound "those kids again?"
"hey, sakura, lets talk to them"
"to those kids?"
"kids are the greatest explorer you know" Jurina said while winked playfully, then drag Sakura with her to the living room
two little girl sit side by side in front of big grand piano, playing happily
"wow, you two really good with the piano"
The two girl look back, found Jurina smiling at them
"yes yes! we love playing the Piano" the smaller one answered cheerfully
"sssshhhh ! mommy said we shouldn't talk to stranger!" said the older
"well, I'm not a stranger, my name is Jurina, i am your mother friend"

they followed the girls to a sturdy looking door.
"we will wait here but don't mess up in there will you Jurina nee san! " said the oldest girl
"trust me girls, i wont" Jurina winked and slowly open the door, sakura following right behind her
once they entered, the door slammed behind them, left the room pitch black
"I...HATE...DARK" Jurina said, and she really mean it
"lets turn on the light" sakura hand brushing the wall and find what she is looking , she flicked the switch, and the room lit bright immediately. in reverse of what they hope, what the light reveal in the room only deliver more shiver than the previous dark
"what in the world--" jurina looking around, startled
sakura carefully take a closer look "is this all ... paper?" she then pick one of the object in the floor
"origami...its a rabbit made from paper"
the room are flooded with countless white paper rabbit , to the point its impossible to walk around. all the white paper rabbit only make the lone object in the middle of the room stood up more, the only thing in the room that is not white
"is that? another paper rabbit" Jurina piercing her eyes
"i think...it is, only, its made by golden yellow and dark blue paper, unlike plain white paper like the others"
the paper rabbit indeed are different, her head, arms and legs are dark blue, while her tummy are golden yellow. its pretty cute, if its not stood in the middle masses of other White paper rabbit
"lets put it on our note"
Jurina and Sakura left the room, find the two girls waiting for them
"so, Jurina nee chan do you see it ?" the younger asked
"do you see the rabbits jurina nee san?" said the oldest
"are you girls know what all the rabbits are for" sakura asked
"nope! but mother said stay away from them since Yuki san really treasured those rabbits"
"theres more of them in the lighthouse"
Sakura and Jurina : "what lighthouse???"
--
sakura and Jurina followed the girls direction to the cliff down behind the mansion. Its covered by the mansion before, but now they could clearly see. indeed, theres an old lighthouse there, Jurina went straight to enter the lighthouse, but sakura stop her
"wait ! Jurina! ...theres a grave there"
and she is right, right in front of the light house entrance. sakura cheek the Tomb stone and read whats written in there
"to my beloved wife, Watanabe Mayu"
"huh? Yuki wife?? she is married??"
"yes, her data are in our files *sigh* read them for once will you Ju"
"hehe, busted! now...shall we check whats inside ?" Jurina reach out her hands to sakura, sakura look at it for awhile, before take it, and following Jurina inside the lighthouse
sakura brushing her finger to the spiral staircase they ascend, the paint are quiet new, contrasting the old structure. Sakura pretty sure the lighthouse are not functioning anymore. someone has take a good care of it.
they keep ascending, and when they reach the top, sakura and Jurina welcomed by another mountain of white paper rabbit
"euh not this again" Jurina brushing some of the rabbits to make way for them. Sakura find another oddity in the middle of the white paper rabbit. sakura scratch her way and take the object
"uwaaah what is that sakura?? a very ugly duck doll??"
"no...this is ... a ...platypus doll"
"paper rabbit army, platypus doll, this Yuki has a weird taste"
"...lets put that into our notes. and.... i think.... its about time to begin our job"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jurina operating a complicated looking machine she set earlier, a weird looking helmet that connected to the machine now set on Yuki head.
"so...how are you guys works actually?" Sashi asked sakura, while watch Jurina skillfully programming the machine
"well... to put it in a simple way...with that machine, we gonna 'travel' to client memory as far as we could, to implement a desire to go to the moon"
"thats it? thats could make her go to the moon?"
"dont underestimate the power of desire Mrs. sashihara, imagine have only one desire since a very early age, and obsessed with it for the rest of your life, its a very powerful things"
"...i see"
"it just that, we need to understand why she want to go to the moon, to implement the most suitable motivation, then, we would able to reconstruct Yuki Memory, to a new memory of a life that get her to the moon"
"the machines are ready, lets go " said Jurina butting in, throwing one of the weird looking helmet to sakura, and putting one to her self. sakura nod and smile to sashihara, before put the helmet on herself
'here we go'
------------------------------------------------------------------------
the scenery around Sakura are blurred a bit at start, Jurina right beside her.
"ugh...i always hate the sensation in my stomach every time we do this... sakura what time are we now?"
"6 months ago"
they both stood not far from the lighthouse, find their client looking longingly to the grave there
"Kashiwagi Yuki san"
Yuki look to the source of the voice, a bit surprised " a bit rare to have visitors around here, are you guys lost?"
"no...we are invited, by you kashiwagi san"
"me?"
"are you familiar with 48 org?"
"yes, I'm thinking to contact them today"
"well...actually you have... we are here for your request Kashiwagi san"
Yuki look at them both with a clear awareness. a minute passed when finally her face relaxed
"so...its already time for me in the other end... please spare me the detail" she smile " could you guys make me go to the moon?"
"yup! but we need to know why you want to go to the moon, we asked, but not one of your acquaintance said they know " said Jurina
"Kashiwagi san, why do you want to go to the moon?" Sakura asked
Yuki look at sakura and Jurina "i...dont know"
"err? excuse me Kashiwagi san, it is

"i....i just wanna go to the moon"
"well...thats not how we work kashiwagi san, try to remember.. anything??"
Yuki tilted her head "I'm sorry...i really don't know...but.. i really want to go to the moon"

sakura stopping Jurina "its okay ju, looks like she really don't know, all we need is go deeper to her memory to know why. lets go. have a good day Kashiwagi san"
"You don't need to be so polite sakura, once we reset her memory, she won't even remember we exist"
