After his work time over, along the way home, Andrew goes to the store address that Amanda gives to him. He saw a long line up already formed in front of that store. After parking his car in the parking lot, Andrew gets out from his car and walks toward the lineup.

"Excuse me, what line is this?"

Andrew asks a young man that stands in that line.

"We line up to buy CD Monster Inc, grandpa. Don't tell me you also play games at your age"

That young man rude remarks followed by laughter from those who heard that in the lineup. Andrew just smile bitterly, his age haven't reach forty and his son just 9 years old, how come he become grandpa, but his calm nature didn't let his emotion to control his mind although that young man said something rude. He just goes to the back of the line and lines up like the others.

After lining up for almost 3 hours finally Andrew got what he wants to buy for his son birthday present. Since it's almost dinner time, he rushed to go out of the store and get to his car. While walking he looks at the CD game's cover that he just bought. On the cover depicted various creatures that he doesn't know most, what is that creatures. There's a small creature with green skin, a creature that looks like a pig, a wolf with the humanoid form, dragon, humanoid with buffalo head and many other creatures in there.

"Is this what kids play nowadays?"

Andrew murmuring to himself after seeing the CD cover. Because his attention focused on the CD, he didn't realize a car was heading toward him with a high speed.

The sound of brake screeching the asphalt road can be heard in that street, followed by collision sound. Andrew didn't understand what happened to him, only he feels his body was hit by a strong force and his sight was dark. Poor Andrew, he died on the spot after that car hit him hard. (Sorry no truck-san because the drunk driver is scarier than truck-san)

Police that comes in the scene, arresting the driver that currently on drunken state and checking Andrew body.

"Poor guy, at least he not suffer too long and die in place" (Police A)

"Yeah, look what he holds tightly in his hand" (Police B)

Police A carefully take the CD that Andrew held in his hand tightly, there are blood stains that splatted all over the CD.

"Look, a CD Game. This guy must be a hardcore game player. He still plays the game in his age like this, and hold CD game when he dies"

"Right, have you check his ID? We should return his belonging to his family and inform this bad news too"

"Ugh, bring bad news to victim family is always leave unpleasant feeling in my mind"

"I know partner. I also hate that kind of feeling. But that's our job, we should do that although we don't like it"

"Alright, let bring this CD too as a memento for his family after the city morgue move his body to city hospital"

After the ambulance come and bring Andrew body to the morgue, the police come to Andrew's house and inform this tragic news to his family.

"Excuse us, is this residence of Andrew Blake?"

"Yes officers, I'm his wife. Is there something wrong with my husband?"

"I'm terribly sorry ma'am. We come to inform you that something bad happens to your husband. He had a car accident and die on spot. His body now sent to the city morgue for autopsy, and this is his belonging that he holds in his hand when he dies. I'm sorry for your loss ma'am"

The police handed the CD game to Amanda, which she accepts it with shaking hands. Cry start broken and tears flow in Amanda's face. She's feeling guilty to make her husband buy that CD game. She thinks if she not asking her husband to buy that CD, her husband will not have such tragic ends.

The police try to console Amanda by giving sympathetic words, but when Albert comes from inside the house and asking what happen, Amanda's cry broken again. The police have hard times to console this mourning family before finally able to bring them to the hospital to identify Andrew's body.
