A unique voice penetrated the narrow bars of the prison cell. Soft and full of emotion it filled the dark, cool wing of the guard station. The sung words touched the heart and soul, and since the background of the text also referred to a tall blond Russian, one could begin to cry with emotion.

Just like Mako, Mori's mother, who had no idea about Torio, but still crouched on the floor in the long corridor, hiding her face in her hands.

It was incomprehensible to her how her eldest son could get into such a situation. Everything was kept secret, no unnecessary fuss was made. Short and sweet, like the trial, the sentence was to be finally executed. Silent and inconspicuous, like everything on the IUCHIS planet.

When had she lost track of Mori's life? He was only 16 years old when he ran away from home head over heels. Mako could not hold him. At that time she already noticed the changes in the dark-haired fuzzy head. He developed in a completely different direction than his brothers. Mori became more and more similar to his mother and from this point on, all levers should have been pulled to counteract this condition. But the young, inexperienced teenager disappeared, took his life into his own hands and did not realize how fundamentally different his views on aliens were. For so many years he swarmed lost in space, working here and there to survive, but found no suitable place to settle down happily with a partner and start a family. There was no one who resembled him, who met his expectations, understood him and loved him. Everything was colorless and empty without emotions. And because he could never get a proper education, because the way Kazmi raised his children was clearly too hard and demanding for the frail boy, there was only one way out: escape. It was impossible for Mori to follow all the rules and regulations of his strict father. At that time, he just wanted to get away, far away, to foreign galaxies and other spheres and not think about the future.

He had no goal in sight, no dream he could realize. Not in this form, not as an alien. For a reason inexplicable to him, he felt like a fake in this body. He possessed all the knowledge and powers of this species, but he could not do anything with it. He didn't care and he only used these things in emergencies.

The life of the IUCHIS was very well thought out, everything was planned and structured. Laws regulated everything on the planet OOR and whoever did not obey them was punished, beheaded and banished. Like him, ...

It may be that his disinterest put him in this position, his reluctance to deal with all these extraordinary talents, not having done years of study to learn all about their species. He had wasted so much time, believing himself to be an eternal outsider. Was there anything like a future for him at all?

A life with Torio? What would it look like, where could they exist. As aliens? Half-humans? On what planet? In what galaxy? Questions about questions the frail alien couldn't answer. What if Torio got feelers and the supernatural forces could undo his interference?

'That would certainly make him happy,' Mori thought dreamily. But what if none of that happened? Without a shield, the astronaut would be tied to human bases, trapped in gravity, helpless and sad.

'Does my father already know the future path for us?' the alien thought. 'He saved Torio and is the commander of the special unit. He does nothing without a well-thought-out plan. ... And Hichan, my talented little brother, has certainly found a solution ... Mori hoped so much and wanted to reassure himself, not to think of failure, even when everything was uncertain.

Now he sat there sad and lonely, like a pile of misery, in a small dark cell, on hard stone, desperately and hopelessly in love. In love with a person to whom he felt so irresistibly attracted. Now that he knew that Torio was still alive, he counted every second until they met again. He should only follow the instructions and trust the commander, then everything would be fine. That's what he had promised and Mori wanted to believe him. Even if the father-son relationship never showed any intimate love, it was now his last hope. Nevertheless the young alien was plagued by doubts about the realization of their union. Should the clear, ice-cold mountain lake in "Outland" really be their protective medium? What exactly had to happen to accomplish a mating between two same-sex individuals?

Yeah, and there was the virginity thing. How would this circumstance facilitate something that was actually not possible?

A very complicated and extensive topic, which Mori was able to find out by chance in a report of the banned social media. Only persons, whether alien or human, who had no memories of a love act would be able to circumvent all the laws of marriage. The greater the number of bedtime stories committed, the more difficult it would be to make a life-long bond. In summary, one would say that the first love between two pure hearts, who find each other untouched and innocent, is able to overcome all obstacles. Sounds almost somewhat plausible, ... but only almost.

With both hands "Morika" embraced the limp antennas, which were in full bloom just a short time ago, and swayed them slightly back and forth. How filigree and especially these sense organs were. Essential for an alien but a burden for a human.

Who am I actually? Or What?' he asked himself and thought of his mother, who always took him in her arms when there were problems at home. She was very different from his strict father, much gentler and more sensitive, just like Mori himself. Good-natured and loving, like a human being. I wonder where she was now?

Mako was refused to speak with her son. The order came from her ex-husband himself and she had to follow it. He promised her to do everything to get Mori out of here and she wanted to believe him, she just had to. That's why she kept her distance to the cell and listened to the emotional lines of the still alien.

The only thing that could distract Mori was the passion for music he shared with Torio. So many melodies and lyrics were suddenly buzzing in his head, all directed at his love for life:

All mine

All our problems will be gone soon

and I understand you now.

All angels will protect you and look after you.

You're everything to me... but not today.

It's so sad and I'm so down,

because without you something is wrong.

When you are not there it feels like only shadows and rain fall on me.

That's why I wait for tomorrow.

Yes, I'll wait,

then I can just be with you,

only with you, always you.

Because you are so wonderful to me,

I can almost not believe it.

So amazed and surprised that I think I'm going to fall.

My worries are hidden deep inside me,

should not burden you.

But they tear me to pieces

and I slowly dissolve, because nothing works.

I am so terribly tired,

have no strength without you, am so alone.

Only darkness and cold envelop me

and I wait until tomorrow.

Can't wait,

because I just want to be with you,

with you, always you.

Your love is so beautiful, I can barely believe it.

Lost in you, falling madly in love.

Yes, I know I'm falling

fall with you."

A love song of a special kind and a very fitting text for the lovers, ... Mori and Torio.

Only one more day separated the two... a long day.

Mother and son cried in silence, each one for himself, taken away from his partner, alone and abandoned. A heartbreaking picture, full of longing and bitter tears. No one wanted to think about further suffering, but life is full of bad surprises.
