Ulrich let out a mocking laugh and slapped Jeremy’s shoulder.

“You know what?” he said. “Now I know where you get it from.”

“Meaning?”

He and his father were side by side, the same glasses a twisted shape on their noses and with the same grease stains on their clothes.

“Nothing, man, nothing…” Ulrich avoided giving the response, laughing again quietly.

Eva and Richard then arrived, holding a platter of glasses and a jar of lemonade. The teen told them in a satisfied voice that the repairs on the mechanical arm were almost finished. According to Mister Ishiyama, they would finish it at around six in the afternoon.

Jeremy and his father sat down on the small sofa in the secret room in the Hermitage, facing the old television in which Hopper had left his video for Aelita.

The boy looked at his watch. It was half past two. It seemed incredible that Odd’s father and Yumi’s parents had sped up the repairs so much. They must have rebuilt their old friendship while at work.

“The only problem is that, with the motherboard melted,” he murmured, “we need to build another one. That could take us months, and we need to ask for help from a specialised workshop.”

He thought again about Odd and Yumi, imprisoned in the Mirror. He hoped with all his heart that nothing had happened to them in the meantime.

By his side, his father finished his drink.

“Don’t be pessimistic,” he told him in an encouraging tone. “The fuses saved the most delicate parts of the system.”

“But the motherboard…”

“I’m the one who designed it, along with Hopper. To save parts, we used a normal circuit board with some small adjustments. So all we need to do is take a computer apart, and that’s it.”

“Will this do?” Richard said, taking out his palm-computer.

“Out of the question,” Jeremy blurted, shaking his head with a smile. “The Hoppix codes are on that. But, if I remember correctly, Odd has a laptop under his bed that he never uses. I doubt he’ll be angry if we use it to save his life.”

Richard and Eva leapt up, offering to look for it at Kadic. Michel gave them a nod.

“Takeho Ishiyama would have my head if I don’t bring his daughter back safe and sound before dinner. Family is sacred to him. He told me that many times in the old factory, years ago,” he commented, laughing.
