The B.G.S.'s part 21
20th August 2025
Hi Kiki. Do you remember when my friends and I told Mr Yashiro about our parents and troubled pasts Kiki? And do you remember a couple of days ago I was starting to feel like those people we met who never made up with their families? Well Mr Yashiro and Professor Largos have done something about it. I’ll start at the beginning.
It all started this morning when my friends and I were having breakfast with Professor Largos and Mr Yashiro. Professor Largos was telling us that we have just nearly gathered up all the lost B.G.S.’s.
“Are we going to search for the remaining B.G.S.’s today Professor?” asked Yuko.
“No not today,” answered Professor Largos “today children we are actually going to do something about your parents”.
“What do you mean?” asked Shizuyo.
Mr Yashiro spoke next. “Ever since you children told me about your pasts I’ve been thinking about what to do about it,” he said “and my friend Professor Largos here has come up with the perfect solution”.
“Come with me kids and I’ll show you what we are going to do” said Professor Largos.
My friends and I followed Mr Yashiro and Professor Largos to his lab and Professor Largos got onto one of his computers.
“Okay so what’s going on?” asked Hiroshi.
“Well because you children told me about the people you met, who never made up with their families and some of those who realized their errors too late,” said Professor Largos “I’ve come up with a solution to make your parents realized their mistakes before it’s too late”.
“Okay so what are you doing?” asked Tatsuya.
“On this computer I create fantasy illusions like dreams and things, especially when I need a good dream now and again,” said Professor Largos “so I will be sending your parents some bad dreams tonight about what might happen to you six in the future if they never made up for their mistakes”.
“Oh is it like how Ebenezer Scrooge in A Christmas Carol got that bad dream of his alternate future if he never realized his errors?” asked Yuko.
“Somewhere like that” said Professor Largos.
“Do excuse me,” I said “but how on earth are you going to send these dreams to our parents?”
“Ah it’s thanks to my little flying robots” said Professor Largos. He presented some little hovering robots that looked like mini flying saucers. “You see I create a fantasy illusion onto my computer, next I download the dream into one of my robots and then the robots will fly into your parent’s houses, once I teleport them there, and scan the dreams into their heads”.
“That sounds cool,” said Yuko “but how do the robots get into the houses?”
“Simple my robots will have a small camera on the top, that way I can watch where they are on the screen and will be able to control them of where they have to go and such” said Professor Largos.
“Hang on a minute,” said Kouhei “how do you know where our families live? I mean a few weeks after I entered the boarding school I heard my mother had left our old house, but I wasn’t told where she went”.
“Kouhei has a point;” I said “neither of us knows if any of our families had moved away ever since we left them”.
“I found their whereabouts on my computer;” said Professor Largos “Kyoko, Shizuyo and Hiroshi, your families are still living in the same places you lived in before. But Yuko after you parent’s divorce, they moved into different apartments in the town you lived in. Kouhei your mum has been living with a sister of hers in another town ever since she sent you to the boarding school”.
“That must be Aunt Mei she’s living with;” said Kouhei “I visited her a lot before that incident with my dad happened”.
“Tatsuya I found out that your mum has been living separately from your dad for the past three years” said Professor Largos,
“Really?” said Tatsuya “that’s surprising because my mum was always on dad’s side and never thought about leaving him, no matter how mean he was”.
“Maybe something happened between those two” said Shizuyo.
Professor Largos went back to typing on his computer. “I have already created your alternate futures children,” said Professor Largos “and they are just about ready to be sent to your parents”.
“But before we do send these dreams to your parents,” said Mr Yashiro “you six must look at your alternate futures as well. You remember telling me that neither of you know what to do with yourselves once you graduate the Kurai Jinsei Boarding school? Well I think this will help you know what to think and hopefully not make the same mistakes made by the people you met”.
Professor Largos pressed a button and then videos of our alternate futures appeared one by one on the computer screen.
My alternate future showed me growing up to be wilful and independent. It also showed I had a real grudge of hatred on my parents because of how they broke promises to me all the time and were never around for me when I needed them. My hate for my parents was so strong I never forgave them and never made up with them. In the end I ran away from home to start a new life and my parents never see me or hear from me again because of the grudge I had towards them.
Shizuyo’s alternate future showed her growing up to be rebellious because of her overprotective parents. So rebellious she becomes a member of a biker gang. She did dangerous tricks on her bike and kept on upsetting her parents over their worry for her. In the end she gets caught in a chicken race and dies from it.
Yuko’s alternate future showed her becoming cold and isolated from everyone because of her parent’s divorce. She even closed her heart off towards her parents because of their arguments. In the end she lived as a hermit in a forest for the rest of her life.
Hiroshi’s alternate future showed him committing suicide for real due to the neglect of his mother.
Tatsuya’s alternate future showed him becoming insane due to his father’s control over him. And he stays in a mental hospital for a very long time.
Kouhei’s alternate future showed him becoming a murderer. He murders his dad because of his abuse and kills his mum for never doing anything to stop it. Then he goes on killing other people who abuse their own children. He even kills parents who don’t protect their children from the one who abuses them.
My friends and I were shocked once we finished watching our alternate futures on the computer Kiki.
“Those alternate futures of ours are horrible” I said.
“Yes because becoming a biker gang is something I don’t want to be,” said Shizuyo “besides I don’t even like motorbikes”.
“Living a life as a hermit is something I don’t want either” said Yuko.
“I know I nearly committed suicide when I was ten,” said Hiroshi “but I want to continue living my life as I am now”.
“Same here,” said Tatsuya “I want to live my life, but free from my father”.
“And I definitely don’t want to end up as a murderer” said Kouhei.
“Yes and truthfully I don’t want to live the same way Mr Kenzou and his son Masaru did either” I said.
“Well children,” said Mr Yashiro “now that you have seen your alternate futures it’s time for you to think about what you want to do about your situations with your families. I want you six to grow up to be happy, and I wish for you six to have happy futures and live happy lives with no regrets. And I’m sure your parents think the same too”.
My friends and I just stood silent while looking at each other, and then we left to let Professor Largos and Mr Yashiro do their work on giving our parents bad dreams. We knew Mr Yashiro is right about us having to decide what to do
I’m telling you Kiki, my friends and I do know Mr Yashiro is right that we have to make our decisions soon because we do wish to live happy lives. And of course we don’t want to make our alternate futures a reality. But we still don’t know what to do about our parents yet. I have so much thinking to do Kiki I fear this is going to make my head hurt.
