"Alright! Disgusting stuff... I don't want to say it either." Mike looked a little embarrassed in front of the camera, he touched his bald head and showed a hint of awkward smile on his face. Then, his tone became serious, looking straight at the camera, as if speaking to Leo: "Leo, this time I'm going to Four Minnow Star, I have a feeling in my heart that I may never return to Earth. But you, you have to go back safely!"
He reached for the beer next to him, took a big sip, then looked back at the camera, with a firm and affectionate look in his eyes: "No matter what you encounter in the future, I'll toast to you." He raised the beer, as if toasting to Leo in a distant place.
"When you encounter difficulties, remember to smile," Mike's voice was full of encouragement and strength, "There's nothing that a big smile and a cold beer can't solve!" His face lit up with that brilliant smile again, which was as warm and empowering as sunshine.
In the video, it seemed like Mike was sending Leo his final blessings and support in his own way. His words and his smile were telling Leo to stay strong and optimistic even in the most challenging times.
As the image of Mike's radiant smile suddenly ended, the projector slipped from Leo's trembling hand, emitting a dull thud as it landed on the cold ground. The projector automatically started replaying, and Mike's image reappeared, with the same smile and the same words echoing repeatedly in Leo's eyes and ears.
Leo sat in a dark alley, hugging his knees, tears silently streaming down his cheeks. He gazed at the replayed image, filled with complex emotions. Once a brave, strong soldier, he had now become a homeless, helpless wanderer.
In the image, Mike seems to be like a mirror, reflecting Leo's current life and everything he has lost. Every time Mike's laughter and words echo in his ears, it's like a sharp knife stabbing at Leo's heart. He feels conflicted, pained, powerless, and even begins to question his choices and the path he's taken.
Mike's image and words should have been a source of encouragement and strength, but for the present Leo, they have become the source of his pain. In addition to missing and being grateful for Mike, there is also regret and helplessness about his current situation in his heart.
As the images played over and over, Leo's emotions gradually shifted from intense fluctuations to calm. Mike's voice, like a warm sunshine, shone into the dark corners of his heart. Despite the bruises from the recent scuffle still evident on his body and the lingering pain, the deep-seated, unhealed wounds in his heart began to heal imperceptibly.
Leo took a deep breath, feeling his heartbeat becoming rhythmic and his breathing gradually steadying. Mike's image ceased to be a painful memory and instead became a source of strength, supporting him as he moved forward. He began to realize that even though Mike was no longer there, he had left Leo not only with memories but also with courage and perseverance.
In Leo's eyes, a hint of determination flashed. He slowly stood up, despite the lingering pain in his body, but the burden in his heart seemed to have lightened. He understood that no matter how difficult the future path may be, he could not give up. Mike's words were like a key, unlocking the long-closed door of hope in his heart.
He tightly grasped the projector, which contained not only Mike's last words but also a responsibility, a memorial to his fallen comrades. Leo understood that his life might never be the same as before, but he also knew that as long as he was alive, there was a chance to start anew. In this late-night alley, Leo rediscovered his direction and purpose.
Leo stood in the dim alley, his eyes shimmering with a new determination. He forcefully kicked the empty cardboard box aside, which once held his past identity and memories but now became a stumbling block on his path to rebirth. Bending down, he picked up the discharge papers callously discarded by the thugs. The papers were torn and destroyed in his hands, each rip symbolizing his resolve to abandon the past.
Among the shredded documents, Leo saw his former identity and glory, as well as the unjust system and unfair treatment. But he understood that indulging in past resentment and dissatisfaction would only lead him deeper into despair. He needed to rise from these fragments and start a new chapter.
His heart was filled with a clear vision of rebirth. He would no longer be the Leo bound by military identity, but a free man, able to live and explore the beauty and possibilities of the world according to his own will.
The projector in his hand became his only treasure, containing not only Mike's last wish, but also the immortal friendship and brave spirit between him and his comrades. This would be the starting point of his new life, a starting point about courage, perseverance, and hope.
Leo took a deep breath, filled with new strength. He knew the road ahead would be tough, but as long as there was light in his heart, the path forward wouldn't be a dead end. Leaving the past behind and looking towards the future, he was ready to face all the challenges of the world.
Gently placing the projector filled with memories into his pocket, Leo regarded it as his only treasure and the source of courage to step out of the shadows. His gaze was resolute as he stepped out of the dark, narrow alley. The vagrants who had spent long nights with him looked at his back, their eyes filled with doubt and curiosity—they didn't know what force enabled this man, who was filled with despair just yesterday, to stand so resolutely today.
At the moment of leaving the alley, Leo stopped, turned around, and deeply bowed to the "roommates" who had once shared the same darkness with him. This was a silent gratitude for their companionship and a farewell to his past self. Their lives had different stories from his, but in that moment, they were understanding companions to each other.
Then, Leo turned and walked towards the brightly lit street. Neon lights flashed with colorful brilliance, illuminating his path. This world, despite being full of uncertainty and challenges, also held infinite possibilities. His steps were firm and strong, each filled with anticipation and hope for the future.
Leo knows that his journey has just begun. Although the road ahead is unknown, he is ready to face everything. In this city shining with countless lights, he will seek his new life and rebuild his world.
