"Grumble"28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORWtSHcLrV
It was a rainy days with thunders, and it is not a peaceful night for me.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZSE46EvlP
In such a disturbing and noisy night, I always cover my ears with my head until I can fall asleep. I don't want to hear the thunder not only because I am afraid of itself, but there is also more than itself to be afraid. I want to have the quick sleep to avoid thinking about it, but I was wrong. As long as I have the thought, it follows me to the dream to reflect----My guilty.
“Grumble”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiqhNwIuLe
Gramps is standing in front of me, saying nothing.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbvaZlVyot
I can't see his eyes as always, they are hidden by his eyebrows. It is nothing different from him, not showing anger or sad, just stand indifferently.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXb1jcjROz
I really feel sorry to Gramps, for killing him, after all, he raised me.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE6PLpIJPa
“I am sorry...Gramps” I apologized powerlessly to him.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY73i6Kv2D
“Grumble!” He cast the lightning artes to strike it on me.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9CamWnMpJ
“eh....um.....I am sorry, really!”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBo42QgWfk
He didn't answer, only cast more lightning and chasing after me, like the ghost.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaHE7XzikS
“Please!! forgive me!! Gramps!”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVsJYVb1Mc
“Gramps” shows no difference at all but chases like an avenger. I realize for his anger, he raised me up but I kill him, I am such a bad child.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz7zqaUqFP
“Sorry.....sorry...sorry, I have no choice, please, forgive me” I still think there is no other possible choice for the better situation in that time, and it is not like that was a satisfying decision for me.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRux3AEV9A
“Er....er.....sorry...sorry” The scene of apologies and lightning chase repeated infinitely.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnen4ZqNpJx

At the rainy midnight, murmuring sound from the next door woke a light sleeper such as me. This is abnormal, so I go check for its sources.
I found the source is from Sorey's room, and the door isn't locked.
I slowly open the door of the room next to me which is Sorey's room, while making sure that the smallest creak sound I would make.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIByWlI1Ca
“er.....so...sorry...sorry, Gramps....” words leaked out from his half-opened month in crying like murmuring.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmggUXVZZUY
I see Sorey is sleeping with the posture of hugging his head and curling up his body, the fetal position. Laphicet had slept like this when he felt uneasy too, that days, Laphi stated his fear of death. I promised not to let it happens when I didn't want it and I rather believe a better future.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12fJ6ek7TC
That time, I embraced him tightly to calm him, just like this situation.
By the time I back to myself, I already embraced Sorey tightly. Maybe it is because he made me thinking of my little brother, full of curiosity to the world, and love books. However, Sorey has lofty eyes sometimes, like looking to the world itself rather just watching where he is. He has eyes with purity and unwavering will, just like the Shepherd vision, I will not be surprised if he is a Shepherd. He is certainly a different type of person to me, he would hate me if he knows who I am and what I did, it is inconvenient, for now.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsyvdbFUSi
Although he is clumsy sometimes, he will try to fix it, never afraid of difficulty. I wonder what things worrying him to make him murmuring. I somehow want to fix this, it is not a good idea to wake others. However, I have no clue of what to do when someone similar to my age comes to cry, so I try the same technique that used to comfort my little brother.
“Grumble” A lightning strikes with a thunder.
“u...ahhhhhhhh.....” He cried painfully like receiving a serious attack and he was shaking.
I wonder if he is afraid of the thunder.
“Sorey!” I can't help but hug more tightly while calling his names to change his attention to the nightmare, but he is not waking.
“GRUMBLE!!”Then another lightning strikes with a larger thunder.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGmFs3ceFJ
“Gramps!Gramps! I...I...don't want to do that.....I... really...such thing...I...Sorry!!” Sorey continued apologizing to someone while shaking his body more greatly.
It is not only related to the thunder, but it reminded him of someone he felt guilty with.
“It is ok, you will be fine! Calm down, Sorey!” I held him more tightly. Repeating those words, I tried and managed to calm him, his breath becomes more stable finally.
“Great” I relieved, the duration was short but felt long, I almost think he is not going to wake. It was not really my business, but I just feel uncomfortable to leave him alone.
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTo9agcuyW
“...Vel..vet?” He woke with tears.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLzqws5Nis
The night returned peacefully and unwittingly, things are turning good.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5C37VkXp9

Sorey pov
I woke and regained consciousness, no more Gramps and Grumble, but a vigorous heartbeat.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKps9g7Psc
Next thing I know, I'm embraced by Velvet.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEErr6aN2FT
It is a thing I unexpected from her.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6XPWX0xrT
“...Vel..vet?”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6ngRAXakb
“...Finally awake, huh?” She released me while asked.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrOZgZokT0
“...Yeah.” fully came out of my trance, I noticed that my eyes filled with tears. I wiped out my tears and sit up in bed.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYRxZuVkBX
“What happened?” She asked concernedly.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93MSBIFfZV
“I...have a nightmare, dreaming about the one who raise me.” I answered truly.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLRpoQFUoY
“Did he do something?” She asked it in a statement tone, surely it is that obvious to see.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt0HR1VilS
“He summoned thunders while chasing me.......” I answered without notice of the unnatural ability to normal human I stated.
“......Did you do something?”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDLIrtbwZM
“.....I.....killed him by my hand long ago.” I hesitated to answer, whether I should tell her about this, given that we both barely know each other.
Stills, I explained the story without mentioning Shepherd and Lord of Calamity. I think she may be a good listener, what’s more, I just want to talk this out. I explained how he was important to me and how I didn't want to kill him. The situation just didn't allow me to refuse, Gramps could not be saved from Heldalf. Before Gramps's disappearance, he had shown his gratitude to Mikleo and me, said, we both good children and he was glad to see our growth.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kHie0j5MX
It is no way I can accept it like this, but I had no choice but to accept it in that time.
“.........To praise the kid who kill himself, that's cruel.” Velvet coldly commented.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZftMOX3cA1
“No, it is not, Gramps never...” I tried to defend Gramps.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcgvACm7DE
“Yes, I know, since he is the one who raised you. He must love you. Then, the final words must be his sincere words, to praise, to acknowledge, to comfort his child. However, your sadness is not wrong too.” Velvet stopped me and say unexpected words.
“...Not wrong?”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5jK5W9MVC
“Yeah,....to lose a family, an important person, it must be a great sadness. I had been sad too when my sister died. It is a normal thing for a human to have emotion for a moment that they lose the important person.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l7Sz9fk2f
“......” The last thing I expect is that she would sympathize with me and mention her unpleasant past.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYhXA23QyD
“And the world is not so tender to let you make the right or satisfying choice. Don't know the exact time, but you will have to remember the things and forget the sorrow. Your gramps would not want to see you sucked in the sadness.” The words just make her more like a sister.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSTpaOUKhO
“Velvet....Thank you, it is great to know you.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P3199vIaQ
“Sorey....I suppose to say that to you. After all, you saved me.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6Ryn4E1ck
“That's is not a big due and I am truly glad to meet you.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CDbDuOM9H
“Whatever...I just say something I want to say.”
“Why are you in my room?”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJaYLzfObd
“Ask at this moment? Well, I am woken from some noisy murmuring.” She teased.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ccyswthZ6
“Sorry….”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX7WAeYjRH
“No, you don't have to apologize, I am a light sleeper, I had nightmare too.”
“What kind of nightmare?”
“........Can't remember it. It is not a big due.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaPzOQ4ICn
“...if you say so.” If she really forgets, she will not know herself had the nightmare. Guess that she is not ready to tell them to me. After all we still nearly strangers.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VubWirVDj
Then Velvet back in her room and closed her door.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbzGuHnSKr
Surely this a shocking incident to me. She shew empathy to me and didn’t comment on my killing. I am surprised she has a soft side and she cares about the surrounding. She never shows herself much in daily life, she keeps being indifferent and less interactive to others. This is the first time, I feel to come closer with Velvet, got to know her other side apart from the Lord of Calamity. Maybe it is not too hard to be friend with her and maybe I will talk more to her after tonight.
Since that night, I tried to talk more about myself to Velvet, the things about my journey, my hometown, with the least related to Seraphim and Shepherd stuffs.
