Reincarnated as a Therapist (In a world without Therapist)

Chapter 4: Chapter 1 (Part 4)



Time seemed to fly by. Ryuji couldn't tell how long he had been there. It could have been a few hours, it could have been days, it could have been a week. He spent long periods of time in briefings and meetings. He and Eichi talked for hours. It felt like he was getting everything he needed before making this grand journey and at the same time wasn't prepared in the slightest. But then, the time had come.

"How are you feeling?" Eichi asked. He had painted some runic symbols on different parts around Ryuji's body. 

"I'm alright…nervous…but mostly excited," Ryuji said a little unsure. He felt a gnawing at his soul. He wanted to say something, he just had trouble finding the words. "Eichi…" Ryuji said meekly. 

Eichi looked at him. Ryuji took a minute just to study his face, the man he had become. It was something he had dreamed of more times than he could count; to see his brother alive and fully grown. "I'm sorry. Maybe if I had tried to be a therapist from the beginning then…" Ryuji's voice trailed off.

Eichi rested a hand on his brother's shoulder, "I was angry for a long time," he said, "my anger didn't melt away…even in death. But now I can confidently say that my choices were my own. It isn't your fault, brother. Truly it isn't."

Ryuji felt like the weight on his shoulders had lifted a little. Had he forgotten it was there? He smiled and pulled his brother in for a hug. Even if he still felt guilt, he was glad to be with his brother again. "I love you Eichi," Ryuji said. 

"And I love you, Oni" Eichi said. Tears welled up in their eyes. Ryuji opened his mouth to say more but suddenly, he was falling. He was tumbling down. He felt like he was falling from the heavens. He fell through a white void, as he felt images from his life passed by. He looked at his skin and noticed that the years of age were washing away. He noticed that he was getting shorter, his eyes were getting keener, he was getting younger by the second. He noticed a light underneath him. He was heading towards it rapidly. He covered his head with his hands to protect himself but then he suddenly stopped just before the light. He slowly moved forward through it. He felt like he would be blinded but when he opened his eyes again he saw something new, a very well put together and elegant room that looked ginormous!

"It's a boy!" Someone said, 

Oh no… Ryuji thought was I just born?
