While the robots planned their next move, Benjiro couldn’t sleep. Back on earth life seemed to go by very fast. Ben didn’t really pay attention in any class. Everything he could think about was the letter. He had already read it, but still didn’t know whether he should tell his friends about it or not. But today was the day. Today he would have the guts to sit them down in his room and talk about it. Right before dinner he texted them to come to his room. Minutes later they would all be together. „Mr. Ackerman gave me a letter a few weeks ago.“, he said while hoping that they would keep the information to themselves. „Really? What does it say?“, Itoe replied with curiosity.
„It’s from my mother.“
„Wait. Really?“
„Yes. Really. He gave it to me last week after the lesson.“
„This is very interesting. Tell us about it already!“, Notomi joined the conversation.
They kept talking and the girls paid close attention to Benjiro. His mother wrote that she played a big role in one of the biggest fights in the history. She was fighting for the rights of the human race. She also mentioned that he fought alongside Michael. Thinking that she might lose her life in this war she prepared this letter for Benjiro. Over some pages she explained how her had suddenly turned and what that meant for the family. Eventually, the human race won the war, but that wasn’t it. They knew that the humans were not safe for long. Together with Ben’s dad they tried everything to guarantee him a good education. They had all their hopes for the future on him. Long story short. His purpose of life was saving the world. Itoe and Notomi had different reactions. First of all, Notomi was eating chips all the time since Ben started explaining. Itoe was worried for him. She knew the risks involved. „No matter what happens Ben. I’ll always fight next to you. You will never be on your own.“, she paused for a second. „That’s what we are here for guys. We are getting prepared for situations like this. I admit, I didn’t expect it to be such an intense situation, but still. That’s why we are in this school.“ Ben nodded in appreciation.
The rest of the evening was eventless. They ate together and spoke about everyday stuff. After the little get - together they returned to their rooms and soon after went to sleep.
A few hours later, Ben awoke all of a sudden. He turned to his bedside table to check the time. It was 3:42 am. He woke up because of a noise outside. He was rubbing his eyes to clear his vision. He sat up, got into his slippers and walked towards the window. There was something laying on the ledge. Benjiro was uneasy about it. He didn’t know what it was. Also, he was too tired to have a clear mind. He opened the window, grabbed whatever it was and laid it next to his bed. On the next day he would bring it to the headmaster’s office to let him investigate. It's a fact that the whole school would worry about it. But for now, all he wanted to do was go back to sleep.
