Leopold didn't notice anything amiss, his indulgent smile softening the morning air. "Once you're all spruced up, con down and join William for breakfast." "Sure." William nodded.

Once left to privacy, William quickly locked the door behind him.

Kane emerged from the bathroom, his voice laced with urgency, "You better put your mask on quick. We were narrowly discovered." William settled in front of the mirror, meticulously adjusting his mask into place.

"If only we didn't look so much alike," he sighed.

"Well, we're identical twins," Kane replied. "It comes with the territory. Fraternal twins might've given us a break in the looks." "Yeah, | guess." William pouted, making a mental note to be more cautious. He couldn't afford any more mix-ups like today.

After breakfast, the family, with Leopold and Aurelia at the helm, headed for Silvery Surf Bay.

The waters shimmered in verdant clarity, and the sand glowed with an enchanting silver sheen under the sun's embrace. Hence, it was named Silvery Surf Bay.

Skyler and the children kicked off their shoes and frolicked barefoot on the fine sands.

"The sand feels amazing under my feet," Skyler exclaimed, his joy infectious.

As early winter approached, the heat had tapered off, leaving the ocean cool but not cold, perfect for basking in the warmth on the beach.

Leopold and Aurelia settled into their beach chairs.

After splashing in the waves and chasing the surf, the children began to build sandcastles.

Kane ran up, plopping down beside Leopold, and took a hefty swig from a coconut.

"Dad, William had a nightmare last night," he said. "Scared him enough to cry out loud." Leopold took a casual sip of the coconut water and asked, "What did he dream about?" Kane recounted, "He dreamed he was a baby, trapped in a dark room. He was terrified and wanted to call for you and mom, but he couldn't make a sound and just cried his heart out. Then a monster cin and covered his head with a blanket, stopping his cry.

He couldn't breathe and was gonna die. That's when he woke up, all shaken up." Pausing, Kane added, "William says he gets this nightmare a lot, which freaks him out every time. | had to hold him and comfort him a long tbefore he fell back asleep." A pang of anguish clenched Leopold, a shadow of alarm crossing his face.

Could this be a memory from his past life? Liam's memory? Liam was taken at birth, terrified, waiting for his father to rescue him, but rescue never came.

The thought of what Liam might have endured tormented Leopold. He was so young...

It was as if a knife had been thrust into his heart, stirring relentlessly and inflicting an unbearable agony.

Aurelia, sitting nearby, had overheard her son's words, and a flicker of concern crossed her mind.

Did William have nightmares often? How had she not known? Arnold never mentioned it. Could it be a psychological scar from his abduction? But William was so young then. Memories shouldn't have formed, should they? She glanced surreptitiously at Leopold, whose complexion seemed off.

To avoid his suspicion, Aurelia focused on the children playing nearby, pretending to hear nothing.

Kane's voice drifted to Leopold again, "l asked William if he'd been locked in a dark room when he was little, maybe that's what left a scar. But he said no. Growing up under mom and Uncle Arnold's watchful eyes, he is never in the dark room and doesn't know why he keeps having those awful dreams." The more Kane spoke, the more Leopold suspected that these might be remnants of Liam's past life.

Leopold had always been a staunch materialist, but now, he found himself delving into the mystical.

Maybe it was the yearning in his heart that swayed him. After all, wasn't it the unfulfilled desires and yearnings that led people to believe in the supernatural existence?
