"Yes, it's them" I confirm, choking a little, to the policemen as the zipper is opened.
I almost can't believe it. Today was a roller coaster of emotions. I was so excited 30 minutes ago. And now this.
These are not fictional body parents that I stole in my transmigration, and now I no longer have to worry about having them nagging me as I go about discovering this new world.
These are my parents in the past life and in this life.
The same ones.
I want to scream and cry. Blame someone, but I stay calm for now. At least until I get home to cry in the shower.
"Okay, thank you. It was a car accident, it seems they lost control and fell into the East River. They were submerged for a while, probably unconscious. They didn't resist until they got to the hospital." The policeman next to me reports the case, his voice distant to my ears. My eyes still fixed on the bodies. "I'm sorry for your loss, son" He gives me his condolences before walking away.
I don't know if it is the Batman card, which I have already put on to assimilate, but I am putting on a strong front. Without collapsing in tears I continue to look at my parents, and observe in more detail.
Maybe his paranoia has already taken root in my being, but I feel that there is something fishy here. My father is a great swimmer, he drives as carefully as possible, I picked this up from him. There are no marks on his hand from any attempted escape. My mother is the same. Did they just fall into the river and decide to drown?
Dr. Palmer approaches slowly. Snapping me out of my thoughts. "Hector, I know this is difficult. Why don't you come sit here with me for a minute?" She says trying to guide me into a deserted hallway of this hospital wing.
Probably wanting to give me privacy in case I want to cry.
But I'm just in shock.
"I'm sorry, doctor... But can I stay alone with my parents one moment, please?" I say without looking at her.
"O-of course, of course... take all the time you need. I will stay outside." she say squeezing my shoulder a little to confort me.
When I am alone in the room I finally cry a little. I need one minute to calm myself.
After this I look to my parents, I truly look to my parents. I start fumbling with they clothes, looking for something.
I'm not looking to any object, I know that they already been retrieved them. I am looking to they skins.
There's no seatbelt marks in they shoulders. Nothing that says "fighting for his life under the water". My suspicious only grew.
But I will not find anything more there, so I decide to leave the room. Doctor Palmer is still waiting for me, just like she said.
I pass her and sit in a bench against the wall.
I open to find a watch. A very good one. hehe I think they want to say something about my habits of always arriving late.
In the back of the watch there words that say.
"Time waits for no one"
Tch.
I don't want to think about anything else until now.
Today was the craziest day of my life, I'm going to sleep.
Maybe I will wake up in my old world.
With my parents alive.
