In England in the late 1860s, Edgar and his mother Sylvia lived in an improved apartment in London for seven years.
When Edgar was 12 years old, influenza broke out in London, and his mother, who worked in an orphanage, fell ill and died while taking care of a child named Gabel.
On the day of the funeral, his father Chris, whom he had not seen for 7 years, appeared and took Edgar back to Lambeth, his birthplace.
For many years, Edgar has been repeating the same dream, which is the memory of being taken away by his mother when he was 5 years old. Seven years ago, his mother, who eloped with her husband's friend Victor, returned to Lambeth and took Edgar away after Victor committed suicide.
