Xuan was delighted to be back, although it wasn't time for him to relax. He left his suitcase on the couch and proceeded to the laundry room. There were many shirts he had to wash and got straight to it, piling them all up in the washing machine.

He sprinkled detergent on them and turned it on. Xuan mopped the floor of the basement, tidying up the rest of the equipment he had in it. He had never done it before, but from then on he promised himself he would focus his attention on taking care of the house.

When he reached the top of the staircase, he already felt tired, decided it was time to relax. He picked up his favorite book from the bookshelf in the kitchen and went straight to his bedroom where he laid down on his bed along with his book in his hands. He read the same piece many times, but every time he started, it felt like he was reading it for the first time. After reading many chapters, he was left asleep with the book in his hands.

Xuan dreamt the same thing repeatedly, being his daughter and his wife at the beach. All of them laughing together happily without a single trace of sadness. His daughter was learning how to swim, and Xuan was the one who helped her learn. The ocean waves are steady not being too much bothersome. His wife was making sandwiches under the wide umbrella, sure of herself she would remember the sight in front of her for many more years.

It was a real moment between the three, and now he recalled it almost every night while he was after his revenge. It was one of those times he would never forget as long as he lived, it wasn't something that couldn't have been erased from his memory.

He woke up an hour later with sweat dripping from his forehead disturbed. It was the mere fact he lost them. They weren't in his life anymore. Xuan groaned loudly in his room, and it echoed throughout the house. His endless cries weren't heard, and the never-ending struggle dug a hole in his heart, so deep it didn't exactly have an end. Xuan got out of bed and walked to the bathroom, splashing water on his face trying to calm himself down. Even after doing so it was to no use. He couldn't wash away the memory. Xuan hurried to the kitchen, taking his pills from the cupboard, he gulped them down with water and sat down in the dining room afterward. He had a tough time calming down, breaking down in tears. The last time he was in that state was their funeral.

Ethan was alone on shift for the last few days so it would be fair if he gave him a visit. Gathering himself and his emotions, Xuan made him a sandwich. After he was done he got dressed storming out of the door, not only he was excited to see Ethan, but to visit his shop as well.
