Darkness filled the room.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcW3mPMgmy

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwquhjKThDL

Complete.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJp9Pv92zC

Silent.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyBFFrLcrX

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFpRBqxQFQ

Liyana couldn’t see anything.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhKiHYiCL5

But she could feel it—

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2ySk84ogp

she wasn’t alone.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM2BkMUlXe

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSmLrNpk0r

Her breathing grew uneven.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbpF1lGXnZ

“Who’s there?” she whispered.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGBM99DVSg

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM511mJMRyA

A pause.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFzJqqNEjl

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQEBozhFs4

Then—

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoHpnFoYaP

footsteps.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4TzPndNUB

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7wXDcO6Mv

Soft.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8CAedUtzt

Slow.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2B5Wtr9GC

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlKqAKg1pW

Coming closer.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c01uPBx3E

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMbRjf16wl

“You heard us,” a voice said.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEn8srh3In

Not cold.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycqq1FGg6x

Not mechanical.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzBGPOpHF7

Human.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGE0gwRaOf

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncuKsv72Ib

A faint light flickered.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASbejzzoI7

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCzZaZMIdz

Shapes began to form in the darkness.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWBJdtDzVC

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuuEDz3r3s

Figures.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNftiPmlH7

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2Tfkz0ozS

Students.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjwSVVfCxJ

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAutp69ZRl

Standing around her.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8ySXSIYS3

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60W0p8j2Pq

All wearing black.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknYPiaWle1

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVwVIKmP39

No colors.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RAgZj7lpx

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUVT5nyD8a

Just like her.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAhrhlypTN

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3IRdpiVoH

Her heart pounded.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpconw5xdMA

“You… you’re real?”

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ913FRnU0Nu

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeM8jzH3u7

A girl stepped forward.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAdFuDG3uA

Calm eyes. Steady voice.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Oxqp7ra0y

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlepJ3Hg4ue

“We were erased,” she said.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixN4b0EGuG

“But not gone.”

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwns0IZwKE

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoYakbu4OD

Liyana’s breath caught.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j90dZAVBX

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBujn254j0n

“The system couldn’t delete us completely,” another voice added.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVUOvpkoyu

“So it hid us.”

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVovZt1mhLY

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxUvR7dhLN

“Where?” Liyana asked.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vcXltawmS

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xmVDdZNby

The girl looked around.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0tu3XFLzZ

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWr9DHthqQ

“Between its rules.”

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtXNr0RLN6

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqeMnFtrq3

Silence.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoib7Zpzro

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKgdXaV1Tn

Liyana didn’t fully understand—

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEcXLXUmVK

but she felt the truth in it.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAJWmZf8p7

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8OPP7Mgi9

“You’re like me…” she said slowly.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XdjJMX85p

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlJzji2SNQ

The girl nodded.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMItgy1sA5

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq1tj6uv2e

“No color. No category.”

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00A36DI8UC

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9n7YZsgsg

“Errors.”

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW8Jaw3yjZ

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1qh7mFwF4

Liyana shook her head.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMprJs9fjz

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz8iRdlJFm

“No.”

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPgasIPpCQ

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0cZlCUSLx

Her voice grew stronger.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGlSzrAbCb

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlXBPb4qsh

“We’re not errors.”

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94kdYYXeI2

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvLW7aUOD0

A small pause.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CtVRf2MDa

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfelMmNIPRF

Then—

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCEF8jtLc8

something changed in their expressions.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlacHCGEzS

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CrtmNwkEY

Hope.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ezFcqKG3y

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMcf1KPACy

For the first time.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUpAFgauXX

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj2DNOsxzE

Suddenly—

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbXb5CmLCH

a loud alarm shattered the moment.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh2ofvH8vg

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UfAO3HRHH

Red light flashed across the room.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5MlN08LIZ

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdup3aeaRBH

“System breach detected.”

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ613hw9X2f2

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPunO4nJnq

“Unauthorized presence.”

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Qt1kVAHv

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPXv9ftQp1

The walls trembled slightly.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BHtKYedXg

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62au4f07WG

“They found us,” someone whispered.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5sjuMXa2b

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvMT0xQQ89

The calm girl turned to Liyana.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7rcCZ2h7K

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kdgXCCOyf

“You broke the system,” she said.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9gdxZm6p9

“That’s why it woke us up.”

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOTuZPfICq

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIxfCyg3kQ

Liyana stared at her.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR9ukCs3pA

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAvVnGksO1

“I didn’t mean to—”

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA3BCQA2uT

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoJBrYLENZ

“It doesn’t matter,” the girl cut in.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LzNMGE2Y2

“What matters is what you do now.”

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoljW4FGjQc

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kbFaXyMRB

The alarm grew louder.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDfhcKxRM4

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSjRP044qc

Footsteps echoed outside.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllww1fcw2G

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYft1UPrEYM

Fast.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWljMrL6SHi

Heavy.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMLFKJNaEU

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidwX6IDaND

“They’re coming,” someone said.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwqt6BfsIF

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BjOVousj3

Fear spread.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUfsPuzU24

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW6qHSHoqq

But not panic.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XcK2IJPXf

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbNNuU0jD6

Not anymore.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiG1g1jhg2

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFasiW0TQv

The girl stepped closer to Liyana.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBIOGEofmf

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF8TblWLYG

“You have a choice.”

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKli6MFROP

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mOQOTQGuC

A pause.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4w3fzy98X

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYddIjzPu4

“Go back… and pretend you belong.”

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIcRbmZmgF

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyBfC1oVVA

Another pause.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEihz9qQWMN

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNmdufGisM

“Or come with us…”

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ02M4vBwbh

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k6ai9ZLTe

The door shook violently.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPokrtp4dn9

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VUKtWkYzi

“…and break the system completely.”

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoZffm6kv6

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvRUa2USQL

Silence.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2gaYPExdn

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSNViGmbbU

Liyana’s heart raced.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUIaru9r0v

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bg834k8ie

This was it.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvUYzz9Nyu

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w1LgqpLp1

No more confusion.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWimLxUGis

No more questions.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjAS9Hujhf

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYu3lR4JQp

A decision.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAkdyulI8E

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMb4fo1gAf

She looked at them.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTa0lVI4oA

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxSuGLYoRj

At people who had been erased.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yM1TMufAI

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyzCzme4zv

Forgotten.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWaAc51XPQ

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1aHiJNQDH

Hidden.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfRV2HEZOM

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl8chb8jPE

Then—

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3oAztRoZ2

she looked at the door.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAIPdufFpb

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb6puON41c

At the system trying to control everything.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqFuo2Z7l6

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr0NxPpKH1

Her fear didn’t disappear.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8Kb6YRW6L

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B22KlTHgT

But something else grew stronger.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd46j1MEnF

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HG8g7xDo3

Determination.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSITtuWQPge

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVZIIYtpcI

“I’m done hiding,” she said.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJbhjpnyhW

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUROH6qpo6r

The girl smiled.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2dts0y777

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghvZDrXJtn

“Good.”

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49e1cmBGH0

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCfMmBlhfc

The door burst open.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNN3EBqkgY

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0SUd9DhkX

Blinding light flooded in.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AeeIHBxeO

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkbIBtUicp

Figures in silver coats rushed forward.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT20IimsElQ

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxeEKArEcf

“STOP!”

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ9jkP16IY

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpnKT11xeV

Too late.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq3kXjwOSp

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgQH9zURel

The lights flickered.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYnpTijWe5

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNoHkPjMDH

The shadows moved.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IMeernnQM

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIXVZ0HJNH

And in the chaos—

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWiDwJIga3

they disappeared.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgfZhIQNRY

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOlBhVInjb

Not running.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuzPEVR28c

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb44aPzaxB

Not escaping.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UA26bQNOs

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztaCETplJL

Vanishing.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgddithh8J

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb69bAP7HRp

Right in front of the system itself.

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQZjbEvKIh

---

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUKMkpkTtw

And this time—

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZAw8xjIm3

they weren’t alone anymore.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iq8EaNhJQ
