A day after the last dream, Voltase started a day that was more normal than the previous day, although the search column on his phone said otherwise. He kept trying to find information about dreams, world war history, and weaponry.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnWD1Qk7f1
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfOSSnScUw
His hands did not stop writing, taking screenshots of information and starting to save them.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfUZszXjng
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQMHKYI89P
For him, this was a much better day than the three previous days. Which were filled with ways to survive or vigilance towards the surroundings.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprW5kMq2jN
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbatLqfbUi
Marie sat next to Voltase while moving her pencil over paper, drawing a scene of a sports field, where students were playing soccer.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5hw0JdaGD
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOG5ziWek3
They both sat on the edge of the field, while leaning back against the chair backs.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KemnA6XbD
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rJ7lUks9o
Enjoying the morning after the semester exams finished in the morning, and only waiting for the next exam in the afternoon.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLlIsqLDEA
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRNX5KO7ip
"You are quite quiet today," Marie stopped scribbling in her book to look at Voltase who was silent and looked serious on his phone.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJub1t1X14l
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP2p67vmwG
"Is something happening?"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtsPCRPN8R
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGr6myLnDx
Voltase, who felt he was being stared at, was silent for a moment, thinking about how to explain it and composing sentences that would not erase Marie's innocence, but also provide a little information.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemN83NmZYL
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lp27kYIME
He chose a neutral but vague way to answer the question.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXXoqfMbUa
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVwrynLmqM
"I had a nightmare again last night."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqgEMUjDoF
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1BJSnvJvX
"However, this time I am still alive."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhhbl73F3G
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mDLB97Vvv
He calmly lowered his phone after pressing the button to turn off the screen.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1Q2gsZ82r
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG6UHHy8h2
"I managed to save someone there."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN6oV8vhxO
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbmU757hEM
Marie looked at Voltase with shining eyes, she moved her body closer to be able to listen further interest.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa2XZMpoil
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWxRBZs7lG
"Really?, can you tell me more."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ305SGIZVNn
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4H5v8smFA
The boy could not be helpless against Marie's gaze.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo05EVcGr3D
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBsHWHg2W0
He was really weak, it was his fault for being friends with this girl. With a heavy sigh, he began to explain.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8aOumz92A
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnel2BT2SjS
"The story is long."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWBoC1O1hb
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsrWk2s3mi
"I'll make it short, someone in my dream is the key to ending all these nightmares."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL3blpeLvp
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52ST82v7Px
"My first dream, I failed to do it."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80XwP7psH6
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDrXBtwJ5L
"My second dream, I failed again."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDJqYDR13B
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jD71jq50L
He raised one index finger and middle finger as a count. Continuing with the little finger.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC6R2MW2mQ
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw9bfBI2M0
"My third dream, yesterday. I managed to save him."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qvGtISJG6
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEK9s0jlcj
The girl opened her mouth and closed it again. Like a fish stranded in water.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz24s8W74SY
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY0ACYGZg9
What a pity, Marie's thoughts were very different from Voltase's thoughts. She was more innocent than him. That was a weakness but also an advantage for him.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpYqYKydUo
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYfy68M1ft
"The result is quite good. At least I don't have to experience death again..."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoMAxgn2Gs
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ec9bHBNER
Voltase ended the explanation with an awkward laugh.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonnJ5EqRPd
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0Od3THzLm
Marie tried to digest all the information, but her understanding was still low for an eleven-year-old child, who had not yet realized the true color of this world.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblVOuKaTvT
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI7po64I3P
Very different from Voltase who was forced to mature by his environment, and had been a sidelines observer since childhood. he always avoided conflict.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXqmaKnzly
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFucd6F352Q
"I can understand a little, that must be horrible."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ7UJ9UQQs
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqxSO00Vtg
Marie finally chose another approach, hugging one shoulder of her friend who was always quiet and gloomy about everything.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6OJe2dSpb
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z8grT72qg
"So, to ease that. Let's go to the canteen, I heard there is ice cream today."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcC0ELQH9e
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFmZZzDvd5
The onyx eyes that were always dark and seemed bored, sparkled with full of faint interest.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2KQkr8nqN
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusIqtR8CSa
And Marie knew that.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8TSYUmGfg
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE5GhabbM3
So Marie dragged Voltase with her hand still hugging his shoulder. They both walked together towards the canteen to get a bowl of free ice cream.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXP3nZ6ClX
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIu1w13lIf
Voltase, who was being dragged by this girl, could only sigh.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouvJ2VtMeq
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx6qSnKFEV
This girl was indeed different from other children her age. Not because of her beautiful appearance. But also a personality that was like a boy, in short, a tomboy.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLXU6X9mKF
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurkcpwphxm
He started remembering their first meeting back then. A meeting that made him feel a headache until now.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHpR7bfb1v
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7TZxfvphk
3 years ago.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzEHhoKNQP
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmqnBUZw5G
Voltase, who was nine years old, was staring at a tall apple tree behind his school building. An abandoned warehouse, and it had an apple tree near that warehouse.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrSCe3FPX4
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CGHyK3drX
He patted his stomach that kept rumbling, protesting to his body because it had not been filled with food.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz8B2kJuxL
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjav20g6WR
The bored onyx eyes kept staring at the apples on the tree branches, red in a teasing way and inviting to be picked.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQmqdEvwTg
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z9Dfa7PbA
There was only one problem.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIipaL3WzFv
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbgceDpU95
Voltase was afraid of heights. He was really afraid of heights. Heights only made him feel dizzy, nauseous and cold sweat.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MRLokgTM7
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDZwQarJ3i
And that became a serious problem in this situation.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnwAKRTHbj
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjXOJ6q9lO
For fifteen minutes he stood looking up at the apple tree while holding back hunger that made his hands and feet cold.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBx3hEm6Kp
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0rxhLMrms
Finally, he turned around and chose to leave this place.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxXeFhrKoQ
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw2novK1bN
Not realizing an eight year old girl wearing a short-sleeved shirt and long pants, had been watching another boy not moving for fifteen minutes.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTHgjCGb7D
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5etYNSvlPV
The child noticed how hungry the boy was.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRTxunuNRB
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBGZEUTOwz
Finally she crept closer to the apple tree after coming out of the bushes. Her small hands and feet started climbing the tall tree trunk.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcDMmNfW9n
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV69Sktw4x
The faint movement was heard by Voltase who wanted to leave this place. Hesitantly, he turned his face back only to show a girl halfway up, climbing the tree trunk.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6AvSqv6zM
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoUyj0neVY
The onyx eyes that were usually bored, sparkled with pure panic.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPAwlPaM3D
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUdb4qHq6r
His pale lips opened and closed, wanting to say something, to stop her. But because of how awkward he was at speaking, it made it difficult for him to string sentences together.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2mGrLfUeM
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTTJeFbBim
Finally, the girl was already a third of the way up the tree trunk. Until she reached its branches and stood up.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv0BzecDRb
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd89UyUdFTi
She stood, one hand gripping the tree trunk as support, and the other hand reached up trying to pick the apple above.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpRE6jytIY
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrufjouSKos
Her small feet stood on tiptoe as the tips of those tiny fingers slowly touched the surface of the apple.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbZcDghb48
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d9ChNMcxO
Voltase, who watched the whole incident, felt his heart beat fast. Cold sweat flowed down his temples and fell downwards.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXhqSZETyt
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjNyuD4ray
What felt like forever. He spoke to the girl in a typical but soft child's voice.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrEq4X7JH8
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdNjmY04bT
"Come down! That's dangerous!"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN4pWjJ4Ii
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjTXQyVQCq
He started approaching the apple tree when he realized that a small mistake would cause the girl to fall from the tree.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPqtGlzTYB
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1FhjZPhbX
What he feared happened.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi04yzFVtn
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KJbBqfSuv
The girl who managed to get one apple, slipped and fell from the tree.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYQlEXHamt
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeFRpk8Odr
Voltase, who was initially walking, switched to running with wide strides.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhG8rtWCCR
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjaaBW3cfQ
His weak small legs and thin arms reached out trying to catch the girl from falling to the ground.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoPKOHHLO7
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ107P6Hf2G3
The girl was caught by his thin arms. Due to the effect of gravity, it caused him to fall onto the grass with a suspicious cracking sound heard.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDSidIsYIM
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWG6AreIJn
Voltase, who managed to save the girl, realized his right arm hurt more than the pain on his body that landed on the grass.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnDu48dqY2
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE3UT2duH0
A whimper of pain escaped from those pale lips.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjw1slLsy1
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeEzXvPGbl
The girl who had closed her eyes finally opened them after feeling no pain anywhere.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3qEOgrUw2
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK1D09b2hq
She looked at the boy next to her, lying in pain with a surprised expression.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqST3J1zhNc
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMeIZzN3H2
The apple in her hand fell forgotten.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvFme3Yz3A
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYQ651t9bf
"Sorry!"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6TcDXKO0S
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfMtoYmenX
Finally the girl got up and started checking on this boy. With almond brown eyes that looked guilty.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqXES6SI5T
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbboTHxZtx
"I didn't mean to!"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO5eKD59sj
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQi8JQHopw
"This is my fault"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdIOkGXbLj
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce8xnuTTfc
"Sorry, sorry, forgive me"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElISJYbsAf
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yRfqz6LnH
"Ah!", Voltase unconsciously screamed when the girl touched his right arm.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Wd3EvFW3R
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCdKkGsDuO
His eyebrows furrowed and his left hand gripped his right arm. A tear fell from the pain.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKkq40SC7V
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKZ2sSC1UP
The girl saw the chaos that happened, panicked even more. Finally she stood up.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrlBD3Yy0Y
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvgYv4QjpS
"I'll go for a moment, to call the teacher."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5zHDhVsCO
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiYjxBZ2kX
"You wait here."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAP58abWbT
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U0HyzoGcO
"Don't go anywhere!"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7NWO6CbxH
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9nQEXtlen
She left Voltase who was getting colder sweat and kept shedding tears. Crying.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQEEUKqYLA
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vcm4DnuVx
Half an hour later.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXoeozFmsg
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn1PlclWLq
The girl brought several adult men, teachers. To approach the location and find Voltase who was already pale as a corpse.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMUka6PhsC
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC0MpT7uHq
A male teacher, carried Voltase by slipping one hand under his knees and the other under his shoulders. Hugging him in an embrace.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYyDKqdwz1
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuweu3YGeDt
Then the man ran to carry this injured boy. Leaving the girl who was being interrogated with a guilty face, crying sobbing. while two other teachers interrogated her.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7plb8hhMxv
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtChuTPRVo
The apple that had long been neglected, still lay there. As if becoming a silent witness to this.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeQcVmp7or
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpSqf8LTuy
The situation was controlled a few hours later. With both parties' parents called to explain the situation that occurred.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM4KTzFYqp
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKcDHMUUrl
The incident was settled with the guarantee that the girl would take responsibility and not repeat the same mistake in the future.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu36YZbpV5
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBAVBZHz5r
After three days of not attending school, finally Voltase returned to school with a blue cast on his broken right arm. The cause of that loud and suspicious sound.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vfA8QTIC9
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY10WJRJkUT
He attended class, although he had difficulty writing using his left hand. In the end, the hidden boy gave up.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYl7sShhAa
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2dkNY7uWM
The girl who still felt guilty, approached Voltase. She took over in doing assignments or writing in the boy's notebook.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVQndrRAbN
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba1cJ0Uzqb
While continuing to repeatedly say62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yzYaneD0h
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEuTQhOzED
"Forgive me..."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjpfiJ6U83
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN8dclDcNd
"Sorry..."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtBFK5tLwp
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYv7kVSB0Y
Which made Voltase, who was initially still angry and had a cold face. Unable to stand the repeated sentences, including the help given by the girl.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfZi5b4Y0n
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYOB69rrPg
In his little brain, if he kept ignoring this girl, it would make him constantly disturbed and labeled as bad by other children.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCmaDpt4al
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCehBiVs5u2
So he reluctantly opened his mouth to speak.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrdq1B5iy0
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6t0L4b59A
"Stop apologizing."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3JXmx4ecf
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1zbj3FlmQ
After a pause to think for a moment, he spoke again while shifting his gaze to look in another direction.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdbr093Wmr
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJXRvycA8g
"I... forgive you."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCdCB4Pia5
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN6t7nuCFM
"As compensation... you help me with some things."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpAzKeBB6z
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLVPruPzCD
Those sad almond brown eyes, began to shine brightly, which made the boy with the injured hand, unable to prepare for that gaze. He was stunned, and realized his mistake for this in the future.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhq3SEZUJw
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2SmJeObPw
The girl's small fingers tried to wipe away her tears that kept falling.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSUgXN4dbl
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHkYBK2sIZ
She with a gentle and innocent smile, introduced herself.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8urlZIN8dw
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHAyhqnCzN
"My name is Marie Hardt."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuNMBY1kdY
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJM3yCEFAX
"I will help you with anything, and protect you, even if my life is the price."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw9LBQsc8j
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NMI4Qb3dI
"I promise!"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtovledP6vY
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9Nd24jJJZ
Voltase looked at the girl named Marie awkwardly. That was a big promise for breaking his arm some time ago.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xivX4mek0
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm2CXwDTTB
A week later.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5q7CrfFCi
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK7XVyjw5J
Voltase's right hand now no longer had a blue cast. It could be moved a little, but still could not move much other than not wanting to cause pain.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx000zUqR6
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHli9fSY6PR
And during that time, Marie kept her promise.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZqOQAClzH
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA3tctLCjX
The girl helped Voltase in difficult situations related to his right hand. Like taking notes or writing.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmMUvSje5a
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaoBj0tkKs
She also fed the boy, although it was flatly rejected by him. But she remained stubborn until she gave a pitiful appearance like a puppy.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eh8Vkebrf
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm415wnCajP
Which made Voltase feel defeated.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH4uCCMJos
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwWN3u0wHO
Finally he ate what Marie fed into his mouth with a spoon.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUhZ1hCxKb
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhl396s3TD
On the other hand, Marie also protected Voltase from bullying while his hand was still injured.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3BT8aIda3
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshyR5VBs7E
The way she protected him was quite creepy.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1RWfNsEiA
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzcYccMS2U
Like, punching the bullies with her small clenched hands. Or pulling other children's hair. Even biting their hands.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wnoFqOpF1
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32j37s5HVR
Really a thug.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlHjcpCEb2
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7wQdKUC1h
Until Voltase who accidentally saw the fight, added one reason not to make Marie angry.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxuJ44cr0e
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8ty5oEl6d
It was like waking a sleeping lioness.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlutT0hw24A
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcZFmjBwqF
Scary.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqLIq3ZIgN
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdzuOzkqta
Voltase's reverie on his past memories was interrupted when he was startled.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJs8VszirE
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUIeWxpb8t
Feeling the coldness of ice cream on the glass surface, which Marie deliberately did playfully.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdYyhsVIKD
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttdgyArgWO
Marie with her mischievous smile. One hand holding her bowl of glass ice cream, and in the other hand she pushed a glass bowl belonging to Voltase against his cheek.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkATCFYDqE
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofFvxprmsB
Waking up her friend from daydreaming.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRtLFicsAL
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjVB1LOIKh
"Don't daydream, or I'll eat your ice cream..."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh1VpYzlZe
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCJDUAkEdK
Voltase only felt a twitch at the corner of his lips, for some reason it made him annoyed.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFA2Bxqcj5
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX5WK2eIs3
Taking a deep breath before exhaling. Finally he took the bowl of ice cream from Marie's hand.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuBHtiNeIg
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OkF3aCQhJ
"You surprised me."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1bN2VjM3Q
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6mapgybfc
"Oh? Sorry. I did it on purpose..." Marie winked one eye at him.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMYq6EuMRy
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v36AzaMzF
Voltase sighed.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLuBpM6dm1
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zPDimavGy
They started walking towards the table near the window to sit on chairs and started eating ice cream calmly.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ugX8O1RWN
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBygvQJ26S
A calm atmosphere rarely occurred in the canteen which was always crowded and noisy with other children.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbkbShVwk1
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHONI7N6fT
"I miss Ian."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyEKAyKRJr
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiWTEPISB9
Marie scooped her vanilla ice cream, putting it into her mouth with a pouty expression.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4IBLscJna
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa9Pc9becJ
Which according to Voltase, it was similar to a hamster. A small furry animal that has 1001 silly ways to die.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5Z93X2U7F
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPo7dWCJ5g
He stopped moving his hand from scooping his chocolate ice cream. Clearing his throat for a moment trying not to laugh at that random thought.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt4EUFXOLZ
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXAQQRauxP
After three seconds, Voltase finally could answer Marie without any change in emotion.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX6v1egVpA
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL7xzELP0b
"I know."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRsCry32ZI
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9yiRmgvku
Marie looked at Voltase suspiciously but ignored it not long after.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4wGUVt8QU
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrRM3waou4
"He left without telling us."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGssK7lmV2
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs3jeim5cI
"If I meet him in the future, I will give him the warmest greeting that my father taught me."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk4SMFwu7X
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNMjVU8YdR
"No. Please, don't do that." Voltase felt the corner of his lips twitch even more. He knew what kind of warm greeting that was.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqDkGBAWD4
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N7jtw0RF8
Marie's father was a big man with strong hands and a blunt way of speaking. The warm greeting he taught his daughter was a punch on the shoulder hard enough to make an adult stagger.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHeryPT0ny
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZj19UJDZ9
"Why not? He's annoying! Leaving without saying anything, then coming without an invitation..." Marie pointed at Voltase with the spoon in her hand. "He's like a ghost!"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjim8XxJ6nl
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ720GIBEveM
"Marie, he's not a ghost."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgozsF1tZE
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32UDzwGhYj
"He's a ghost, Voltase!"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ck2j6Dhzg
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnQlS03GCO
"No, Marie."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqgT5KAzfL
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRouTIfRfn
"So you're defending Ian now?"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGt3fbyhf3
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKOphLgNsO
"No, that's not what I meant—"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq0veTJZ1I
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWBWFYMlaV
"You're mean! I won't be friends with you anymore, hmph."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61t9rkwb21
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5an63ZNrsH
Marie leaned back in her chair, crossed her arms and turned her face away with a pout. The typical characteristic of sulking children.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxgS3YNORJ
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWKNRFjatm
And Voltase, only felt the corner of his lips twitch more.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6BkgaqliR
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvqsYN342f
Frustrated, he rubbed his face with one palm. Then peeked through the gaps of his thin fingers.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkYZIXhlFB
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnzviFCHRk
"Alright, alright. You win."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUrs7Zcjvi
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlREHQcgZmn
"I'm wrong, I'm mean."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqjskS3VNn
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKno9TNXEIf
"I'm the devil here."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5Pn1RiCDo
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02FcL59ZzD
Voltase finally couldn't help but follow Marie's way of playing while sulking at this moment. The only way to solve the problem.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrWzd0RuDx
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CfUeC7IwR
Which had been proven many times.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEtF244qSA
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFJdMtOziC
Marie, who was sulking, glanced at Voltase, snorted. Then took a glass bowl containing Voltase's chocolate ice cream, making it hers.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEs93DQ4tB
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaGdWXdtik
"If so, now this thing is mine!"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3CGUaXVkQ
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyA17TiXy5
Voltase looked at his missing bowl with a resigned expression. "You still have vanilla ice cream—"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU8j0ok9m9
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1qisNHtry
"That's mine too!" Marie scooped the chocolate ice cream triumphantly.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGll3OQX1iA
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL2JZu3FQx
"Yours isn't finished yet—"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpVlpUGjcM
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUzoHIdZJz
"I will finish it!, now be quiet!"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUANo8WKcb6
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunWyp7vdMj
Voltase could only stare at Marie who shamelessly devoured his ice cream in front of him.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vO4xKRgO4
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmmRzeGmUA
He shook his head, but there was a slight smile at the corner of his lips. Small incidents like this were what kept him sane. Marie was a reminder that there were still simple and innocent things in this world, even when his dreams were full of blood and death.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5SoFHN7Mx
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK5fiuRyWZ
Voltase, who was already tired of dealing with the puberty lioness in front of him. Preferred to take out his phone and play a game.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicEmbGcEVB
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKVMcI1wXY
A comfortable silence returned. Only filled by the clinking of glass from the spoon hitting the ice cream bowl in Marie's hand, and a game soundtrack on Voltase's phone that he was playing.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah94f3HMSd
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC1ov2h44N
He glanced at his phone, seeing the time showing that the second break would soon end. He had to return to class for the afternoon exam.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgauutXe1DQ
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gyOvlGw4A
But before he could stand up, Marie spoke again.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUf365KBvF
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnrwPlJjjm
"I'm curious," she said, her voice suddenly serious. "You said in that dream, you saved someone. Then what happened after that?"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnCxD52KE1
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoerKgbGQLb
Voltase looked at her, surprised by the question. He didn't expect Marie to still be interested in the details of his nightmare.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkYVwHUvXk
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUYc6wfdGZ
"After that... we walked together."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzagndPqIK
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNksi1hvxb
"We looked for a safer place. He talked a lot about his family. About his mother who died, his father who became a soldier, and his little sister who was waiting at home."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCBqBECdWE
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ21ZL7J7EX
He stopped, frowning. "But I don't remember his face. Only his voice, and his smile."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenPkvu2c1F
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5byaopAxd1
Marie nodded, her eyes narrowing in thought.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy85wuUlBAV
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wCsrGiW9F
"Strange."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zxqR2wTsj
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoTAJd5P46
"My father said, dreams are just a manifestation of the brain that is still working for a moment during sleep."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxC216llwm
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29QG3GNocj
"And usually dreams are blurry, but you remember many details. Are you sure it was just a dream?"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIpFLrYYbJ
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB3oyn9uYz
The question hung in the air, making Voltase fall silent. He wasn't sure at all. There was a part of him that doubted that it was all just a dream, especially when the feeling in his chest felt so real, so memorable.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUhOPypFdq
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyOAwHX9LU
But he couldn't say that to Marie. He didn't want to worry her. even though his words felt hollow.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudG5xSW8KS
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnml5Nwkqy
"I'm sure it was just a dream."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV1lUzg48H
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZpylaT74D
Marie stared at him for a long time, as if she could see the lie behind his eyes. But then she nodded and smiled.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0Y5mKziWS
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaGpW6TVHb
"Alright, if you say so."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU6m8FdyhU
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57yG6PN9v4
She also got up from the chair. "Come on, we have to go back to class. This afternoon's exam won't wait for us."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI96krIYYf6
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhDpLbqHSW
They walked out of the canteen together, leaving the empty glass bowls on the table.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc2tcjwLPc
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv1MhDBcFb
Voltase looked back once, seeing the remnants of melted ice cream at the bottom of the bowl, and he suddenly remembered the taste of the kit bar he ate in the middle of the corpses. That taste was what bothered him the most, not the death or the blood, but the taste of the food he ate among the stench and horror.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAnpobFUjg
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkswmonWbt
He shook his head, trying to erase that memory, and walked faster to catch up with Marie who had already stepped ahead.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdjKqid9cL
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98hIK5A9e3
Meanwhile, on the other side of the school.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoweBTsrPJ
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qbBgIi16A
Inside one of the empty classrooms, five children were sitting in a circle around one table.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ENympWr0T
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYsmq9J0gk
They looked like a familiar group, with books and school bags scattered on the floor. The atmosphere among them felt full of familiarity, but there was also something else. Something tense, like the air before a storm.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSF3LtXGAj
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8lrGRTOu0
A girl named Elly spoke with a curious childish tone, with plain black hair and sharp onyx eyes, cupping the side of her face with her hands.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5vKbeUxbt
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hxl3KBQR9
"When are we going to play this game?"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUryGgLEX8M
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ8mhB8Ugo
In front of her, a boy named Regard with fiery red messy hair like he had just been in a fight, leaned his body back in his chair casually.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO5mhbxoOZ
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm3FsEQFnL
"Friday night, or Saturday," he answered, his fingers tapping the table with an impatient rhythm. "That's a suitable time."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3BU384XXD
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJWA6hfqHN
Another boy named Moon, with neat dark blue hair and onyx eyes that always seemed restless, started fiddling with the edge of his white shirt sleeve.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnye61ZETA
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo5vfVJYJ4
"Are you sure about playing this game?" he asked, his voice trembling slightly.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7WprnxViU
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SRNliXrw9
His fingers moved non-stop, as if looking for something to calm down.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto7XjJuPLD
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8J7pam9HO
On the other side of the table, two almost identical children sat side by side.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmkZRyI1Ij
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtST6RbamUS
They were Nerry and Sandy, a pair of twins with silver-grey hair and different eyes.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmhI16EnRU
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTUkAZha5J
Nerry had silver eyes, while Sandy had emerald green eyes. They glanced at each other with calm expressions, then spoke alternately with a subtle sarcastic tone.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvTyMCNTnm
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjTokDHmQO
"I'm not sure," said Nerry in a flat voice.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgffeibq84u
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbBoaOsowW
"It sounds fun," added Sandy, his lips forming a thin smile.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VpGMF9mKK
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHm1q0ueIo
The conversation continued with Moon, who was still scared, speaking again. He was scared, but also curious.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjOzBrqKT6
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25bBzEXR9o
"Is that the Yes or No game?" Moon moved his hands blindly.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6d6JYezZB
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ901NnWXqLU
"I've heard the story, it's a cursed game. Summoning spirits—"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5pZbZl7gM
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRaZQD1jag
"No need to be that scared. Spirits or ghosts aren't real."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i56Eg2gfB
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOmuWgP0eN
Regard cut off Moon's words, he patted the back of the cowardly boy with his palm.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz5a7ecyWJ
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjQrMGtDNJ
"If they exist, I will fight them!"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oFp6JMxnw
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvJCuyyW47
The almost identical twins just stared at Regard with calm looks. They both spoke alternately.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mDIILP04s
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9cT5F2ubu
Sarcasm.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbw0NgQAzB
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC3htUEDvI
"From someone who was scared some time ago when there was a power outage"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXqQeErJap
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRomEMyqjD8
"And from someone who called his mother until the power came back on"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fN0OeG433
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4ej4RZFIc
Regard with a red face between embarrassment or annoyance, pointed at the twins alternately.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykYaRWLTBU
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBtCqBjamh
"Hey! That's different!"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpYLTuEvpl
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rCmDrH1sV
"You must have experienced it too when you were little!"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2QM6nu69F
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRJZOqk8og
"Don't pretend to be stupid with me!"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtgXuatEBS
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXPkZ01jL1
Elly, who had only been watching without interrupting, finally couldn't hold back her laughter.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4CfmcDVlU
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwDmw8r5qO
She held her stomach, laughing out loud until tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjoAKl1Hix
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5ytsNXXVO
The laughter spread to the others, even Moon smiled although he still looked awkward. The tense atmosphere melted a little, and they all laughed together for a while.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIsbmyGhCs
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUdMzz8RnR
But when the laughter subsided, a heavy silence enveloped them again.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAR27xXoap
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7cTxmAcAH
Elly wiped her eyes, then looked at Regard seriously. "So, how is this game played?"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRafpnbxzBk
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yx5D4QONa
Regard took out a piece of paper from his pants pocket, paper that was already crumpled and seemed to have been opened and closed often. He put it on the table, and the other four children leaned in to look.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvBSUl8Cxm
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpOo5FSpYT
On the paper was written a series of instructions in black ink that had faded. There was a drawing of a circle with arrows around it, and in the center the circle was written the words "YES" and "NO" in capital letters.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIRl70I5Lj
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPnbydjpOw
The instructions below explained how to summon spirits through a question and answer game, where participants had to close their eyes, focus their minds, and ask questions to the summoned entity.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM14SdaK86
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9adt0mvKL
"I got this from my older cousin," said Regard, emphasizing his words with pride.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbB6jbWfx9
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgByTBmcPK
"He said this game really works. He played it with his friends in an empty house, and they got real answers. Some asked about the future, some asked about the dead, and everything was answered correctly."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITVE4rGCOg
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3584So1OA
Moon bit his lower lip, his fingers getting more restless playing with the edge of his sleeve.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYoy1UGESJ
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKm7lceX5I
"That's creepy," he said softly.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOa3KyahVT
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD2Y51FZ3z
"Why do you want to play this? We're still children. We shouldn't be playing with things like this."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0Dc4eCOtG
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXmXxsOMwC
"Because it's interesting."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qtvp1yIG3
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTA98AXZsR
Elly answered quickly, cutting off Moon's words, her eyes sparkling with genuine interest.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkCQMiouev
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOpwEIAZsK
"Imagine, we can ask anything. About exams, about the future, about things we don't know. Isn't that cool?"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqaoQaTZK6
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkcBM4l7QG
"But are we ready for the answers?"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8eUo0eLOK
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZrwKIC6DG
Sandy asked in a calm voice. His emerald green eyes stared at Regard sharply.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q8EpL0YBw
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygB3DmHV20
"Sometimes, the answers we receive are not always pleasant."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLO0ONZa26
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBn5nw1qSE
Regard shrugged. "That's a risk that must be taken. No one dares without risk, right?"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhv8ekcCwF
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSt5g41YS9
He looked at each person at that table one by one.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUpRVA69BB
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGBdgxvRA0
"So, who wants to join?"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ3hiR2Jv1
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKhTQYRi8z
One by one, they nodded.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j1Yp9gfpD
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hUov6UssA
Moon was the last, with a clearly hesitant expression on his face, but he nodded anyway.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngI43DaX7z
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDYOJeNaCX
The five children then started discussing further details, about the place, time, and equipment needed. They agreed to meet at the old warehouse behind the school on Friday night, after all activities were finished.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9Wm1sckYe
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3GYbaI6SM
They would bring candles, paper, and pens, following the instructions written on the crumpled paper.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswC1tTtZ0q
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJbNuyZwAe
The exam ended at one in the afternoon.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z4v2JQzli
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVB587jmJa
Voltase collected his answer sheet with a tired movement, then walked out of the classroom with the other students.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yIPSJIbUy
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X6SIhGdjW
He saw Marie waiting for him in the corridor, with an expression that was hard to read.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh3EVmWecT
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFdy2edDpn
"What's wrong?"62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRnaA2UYm8
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9hel1RIjc
Marie shook her head, but her eyes kept staring at Voltase anxiously.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bQf9uLByw
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3ISuEsXzi
"I heard some children in the next class are planning to do something strange," she said softly, almost whispering.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3npdrtEJSI
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbvSyHT8wR
"They said they will play a spirit summoning game in the old warehouse behind the school."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz9hNwr9tz
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Cri94P6hm
Voltase frowned. "Summoning spirits? That's just nonsense children talk about."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KCz0jFL0p
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzgVCWgVaX
"Maybe," said Marie, but her voice was not convincing. "But I have a bad feeling. I don't like all of this."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsGrPjLcWr
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LPeeAbUCI
Voltase looked at her, and for the first time, he saw fear in Marie's eyes. The girl who was always brave, always ready to fight, now looked hesitant.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJLskC9BCr
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpfe44fGWj
He didn't know what to say. He himself had just gone through a nightmare full of death and blood. Making him even more unwilling to get involved in another problem.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdK5wym9Ee
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNzDRWbcUZ
But he also couldn't ignore Marie's feelings.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfn1MZJ2qW
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTJcwDnm9X
"We don't need to interfere."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwiaJX4FmZ
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX56jv1OQF
"They will play, then get bored, and it will all end."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAF1UdEVGv
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsViXliotsG
Marie nodded slowly, but the frown on her forehead did not disappear.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIVuFJwFWP
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv7ufEfCr8
"You're right. Maybe I'm too worried."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLCDWlYTu9
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkbpFLf32y
She smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WnCNjBfZC
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnhniUP4zc
"Come on, let's go to the library. I want to find a book about astronomy."62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS3uwu6zRs
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEQ6rcCTOL
They walked together towards the library, but Voltase couldn't stop his mind from wandering. The name of the old warehouse echoed in his head.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dQ0woXGwY
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO3rbbBXwR
A dark premonition began to grow in his chest, like a poisonous plant creeping slowly.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEPpYZPYz8
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8gyEllAMB
Afternoon came quickly. Voltase and Marie parted at the school gate, with a promise to meet tomorrow morning.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x5Z1bVazo
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs4xDBlBNV
Voltase walked home to the dormitory alone, passing a path that was starting to get dark because the sun was setting. Long shadows stretched in front of him, and he felt like something was following him.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITxlZMjSXv
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUhYiZA0gJ
He turned around several times, but there was no one. Only the evening wind rustling among the trees.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o3Pq5opc5
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU8KRkSe6E
Maybe he was just too paranoid, or too alert.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnPpRinpIC
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTIA9jOhdy
When he arrived at his room, he immediately lay down on the bed, physically and mentally exhausted.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHypfX7oCT
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqtFwISThe
He stayed awake until late at night, his eyes staring at the cracked ceiling.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVpr0yURAZ
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFzkvl4L8i
His phone lay beside the pillow, the screen still on with the search column he hadn't closed.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ByNR6CzGU
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifnRwmASJQ
He re-read information about spirit games, about ancient rituals, and about horror stories often associated with the game. The more he read, the more he felt there was a similarity between that ritual and his dreams.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPkxohdnMt
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedjOx6t9B3
Both involved other worlds, invisible entities, and horrible consequences.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMSwvmj9j5
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLznRqMolh
At two in the morning, he finally fell asleep.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoLMgDGLzq
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi5SzGYVQj
There was no dream that night, only empty darkness. But when he woke up the next morning, he felt something was different.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM9Afcfe1w
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHj7ttMvyF
He prepared to go to school earlier than usual.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM7Fh3fR03
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tm6KD6ZEe
On the way, he passed the old warehouse behind the building, the place where the game would be played.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzaPvVjAW7
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx47eUs2g2D
He stopped for a moment, staring at the wooden door that was already weathered and moldy. There was something behind that door, something dark and waiting.62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNUzh4j5FQ
