"Calm the fuck down, Lucas!" Han shouted having had it with his friend, then as though suddenly realizing that he said a rather foul word in front of a young child covered his mouth and turned to Lilly, "Oops! No, Lilly, you didn't hear that. Never use that word okay"
The girl who had sobered up at the moment looked confusedly at Han and asked in her teary voice, "What word?" her head cocked to the side.
"The word I used, you know the…" Han shut it when he saw the girl was still looking rather confused and there was really no need to drag it out if she didn't even hear the bad word in the first place. "Never mind, dear"
"Slow down, Lucas" Han said turning his attention back to his friend who began driving recklessly fast, despite the weather outside. Lucas didn't listen
"Jeez man! I said calm the f—calm down!" Han shouted, caring for their safety and their lives.
"Don't tell me what to fucking do! You are the assistant not me" Lucas threw back, still rather reckless. The weather roaring outside as the weather got even more dreary
"Language, we have a child in the car" Han said, gesturing to Lilly at the back who was rather calmer now, calmer than Lucas that is.
"I would ignore the second part of your sentence for now, but just slow down man. Do you want to get us killed?!" Han asked the crazed Lucas, "You may be tired of life, but I and Lilly would very much like to continue living"
"I am tired of this, man! This nasty little child has upturned my life!" Lucas was shouting as he continued speeding on the highway, Han was sure to quickly rebuke him for calling Lilly nasty in a presence. The child in question however began to increase her voice again at Lucas' tone even if she didn't understand all the words being said.
Lucas ignored his friend and the crying child in the backseat (not before yelling at her to shut up or get out) and continued, "I just lost a million-dollar deal because of her! And despite how much we have put into looking for her family, no one has shown up for her. She might as well be some ghost who showed up from nowhere just to destroy my life!"
"Children are blessings, Lucas, not the opposite" Han contradicted
"Well, not this one" Lucas said, turning back to look at Lilly he said, "More spawn of the devil than blessing, if you ask me!"
Han was going to say something scolding to Lucas when he looked ahead of them and saw an oncoming vehicle having lost control on the slippery road directly in front of them
"Watch out!" he screamed. But it was already a bit late and the distracted Lucas couldn't swerve off in time. There was a collision, and at the same time of the collision there was a booming thunder.
And that was the last thing they remembered before waking up here.
For some reason that caused some ripple in the time and space and rather than the friends to open their eyes to an accident scene they woke up in this strange world instead.

~Present day back on Hak; The Colonel's residence in Canta~
[Lucas]
Immediately the flashback ended, I pulled back from the maid. How did that just happen and what the hell was that?
While I was still trying to gather my thoughts about the last thing that happened before I woke up here, the strangeness of the whole situation and where Han and that little girl could be at the moment, I heard the maid call to me
"Lucas?" she asked, completely throwing me off.
"What?" I was beyond shocked, "How do you know my name, I mean my true name?" After what had just happened, the need to protect my faux identity seemed menial
"So, you really are Lucas" the maid said, while I still looked at her expecting an explanation and trying to remember if I have ever met her before now, back in Japan perhaps, and no I am pretty sure I haven't. The next three words the maid said anyway, nearly seized the breath out of me.
"I am Han"
