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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GTAVUMAGe
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwrm0gug8W
His hands did not stop writing, taking screenshots of information and starting to save them.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4Blwifobc
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNWUnvQpbH
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJX8IgC1VT
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzInAi9JRM
Marie sat next to Voltase while moving her pencil over paper, drawing a scene of a sports field, where students were playing soccer.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufFJ3xK0oj
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzOT77NjJ1
They both sat on the edge of the field, while leaning back against the chair backs.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtAdRc5AGb
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRozX6GQznR
Enjoying the morning after the semester exams finished in the morning, and only waiting for the next exam in the afternoon.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4KKoROrm5
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH11SftuJ5
"You are quite quiet today," Marie stopped scribbling in her book to look at Voltase who was silent and looked serious on his phone.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNqlzITl5R
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxqyAaCSj9
"Is something happening?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHX0amognP
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtwUNXCkN6
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjgKk97Cct
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pOk6uW3R6
He chose a neutral but vague way to answer the question.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkHJ1Xh55O
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YZ3RsNyBk
"I had a nightmare again last night."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcsGbNY7uX
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijkJv5PlJJ
"However, this time I am still alive."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYKJduZscM
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMlYZqrJEz
He calmly lowered his phone after pressing the button to turn off the screen.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUasLcbh2z
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdcntA80ly
"I managed to save someone there."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpW0l2OgXz
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubBXXP6HF2
Marie looked at Voltase with shining eyes, she moved her body closer to be able to listen further interest.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXQQuD2URd
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiMkcKo2Iw
"Really?, can you tell me more."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddihSN0NuZ
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof2n5sS3QN
The boy could not be helpless against Marie's gaze.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKztrnEsF0
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWom2N4u5d
He was really weak, it was his fault for being friends with this girl. With a heavy sigh, he began to explain.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcY7BkDMkk
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GWXd2fyGi
"The story is long."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN50XTT2ndl
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL7awx3LaX
"I'll make it short, someone in my dream is the key to ending all these nightmares."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIafOadNlL
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm1Ep1y4Uo
"My first dream, I failed to do it."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva9ozyjsQA
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrBIN4SQKo
"My second dream, I failed again."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwft9qVlsX6
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq5rjFLTTU
He raised one index finger and middle finger as a count. Continuing with the little finger.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEMib64HSK
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcc46pyj01
"My third dream, yesterday. I managed to save him."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GTcNoBrYk
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLqbXLBCrL
The girl opened her mouth and closed it again. Like a fish stranded in water.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhkBa8Btgt
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0fSX6XvCa
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVaRzwTMOf
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSOvab4IYb
"The result is quite good. At least I don't have to experience death again..."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaAIZyImt9
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyWzH9jPde
Voltase ended the explanation with an awkward laugh.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTff5kpvll
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluOwJNr5hm
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhhxoMTtne
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT2TNvkTyX
Very different from Voltase who was forced to mature by his environment, and had been a sidelines observer since childhood. he always avoided conflict.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGrGQoFvjY
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNcbiUcfAc
"I can understand a little, that must be horrible."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHma9feXVb
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlxTPZjkk4
Marie finally chose another approach, hugging one shoulder of her friend who was always quiet and gloomy about everything.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wvyvON13u
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGdJERhpeu
"So, to ease that. Let's go to the canteen, I heard there is ice cream today."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ow56Y7F8V
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2BavM8w47
The onyx eyes that were always dark and seemed bored, sparkled with full of faint interest.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUEbuX1ZJf
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib9TA7bruC
And Marie knew that.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03Dffo5BvP
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SNEdL5Xau
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux98kCcW80
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCmLh59yD6
Voltase, who was being dragged by this girl, could only sigh.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbNURB12lj
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuwPeNpdhZ
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSNOzFsVlu
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7jhRXCfDS
He started remembering their first meeting back then. A meeting that made him feel a headache until now.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjAHZmIXiG
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr5KCjWmbR
3 years ago.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QIIsmzGnT
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDh2x9kb2j
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEeGDTfgTf
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zBNbQ4Yah
He patted his stomach that kept rumbling, protesting to his body because it had not been filled with food.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokjV92SUMu
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkcjU5aftI
The bored onyx eyes kept staring at the apples on the tree branches, red in a teasing way and inviting to be picked.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxqD8RsTZ1
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32yFjXkb31
There was only one problem.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPmVp1kAKB
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ110ghtYYoY
Voltase was afraid of heights. He was really afraid of heights. Heights only made him feel dizzy, nauseous and cold sweat.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZmkaDbPuX
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYwxRkNDLV
And that became a serious problem in this situation.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQb99qeRQy
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0cbCXhBnp
For fifteen minutes he stood looking up at the apple tree while holding back hunger that made his hands and feet cold.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7hBcTYm63
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGyWHBCMKF
Finally, he turned around and chose to leave this place.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKE0ZCVL12
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwU1PCzB4d
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ035X6hem8q
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnFp4LuTZH
The child noticed how hungry the boy was.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDZjVTEbUR
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFfDbWKT6O
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVa5j6UW5G
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfBFZqBIt5
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASWb7jfKZ1
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AfDKV8t2J
The onyx eyes that were usually bored, sparkled with pure panic.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawPS8lh67x
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUD3JtOmSG
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGVk9Y7FZk
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGKSgOk31u
Finally, the girl was already a third of the way up the tree trunk. Until she reached its branches and stood up.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbZUWb4HPh
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXDUJeGG6j
She stood, one hand gripping the tree trunk as support, and the other hand reached up trying to pick the apple above.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNDeZM4EBw
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwOGwlCtPk
Her small feet stood on tiptoe as the tips of those tiny fingers slowly touched the surface of the apple.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFdossJuft
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGLkHZcBY3
Voltase, who watched the whole incident, felt his heart beat fast. Cold sweat flowed down his temples and fell downwards.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYtLSKB5RJ
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQStvYUfTAa
What felt like forever. He spoke to the girl in a typical but soft child's voice.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWWwYJsCen
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NBAjnuze5
"Come down! That's dangerous!"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKFoE5UgJX
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYuxM2DpTn
He started approaching the apple tree when he realized that a small mistake would cause the girl to fall from the tree.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQheFBowbt
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y2HNIZMDd
What he feared happened.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHcF7uhuqg
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8HixbPiUb
The girl who managed to get one apple, slipped and fell from the tree.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmnabKFpKV
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3s2vCkO20
Voltase, who was initially walking, switched to running with wide strides.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLeX25Ves5
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKbJi6eeUw
His weak small legs and thin arms reached out trying to catch the girl from falling to the ground.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU23NGj1j0u
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqNFM1ximz
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca3QdxMSeE
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ztlN86yBG
Voltase, who managed to save the girl, realized his right arm hurt more than the pain on his body that landed on the grass.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhp2DtCrum
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprgWRJjJvP
A whimper of pain escaped from those pale lips.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUwrMzw3dI
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3cUPa8HlA
The girl who had closed her eyes finally opened them after feeling no pain anywhere.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiIqlHcufV
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhJdFeuBSL
She looked at the boy next to her, lying in pain with a surprised expression.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIQEP7QRfC
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJcbgv0zgf
The apple in her hand fell forgotten.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7kffo7gSz
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z1eqmFSpY
"Sorry!"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRNPONE5KV
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIoRGGPmRj
Finally the girl got up and started checking on this boy. With almond brown eyes that looked guilty.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NkMqfBZba
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuqBN4dPCb
"I didn't mean to!"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1UHh3XQNw
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uwS1vZji2
"This is my fault"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS1rJo1sS8
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJuHiFvevM
"Sorry, sorry, forgive me"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdZhtXfl9r
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLGBg9QAuV
"Ah!", Voltase unconsciously screamed when the girl touched his right arm.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9ZqLIil6x
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1cgrnn2bV
His eyebrows furrowed and his left hand gripped his right arm. A tear fell from the pain.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQluWP7Yyv
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNNy3BpYtY
The girl saw the chaos that happened, panicked even more. Finally she stood up.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2N6zVlcvR
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTECApE3LQl
"I'll go for a moment, to call the teacher."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GWX56HbfW
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGygc8Q5BSG
"You wait here."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZFmKvCdRq
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR9aCd8Tvb
"Don't go anywhere!"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUHVCqGjcH
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY8djD3wWI
She left Voltase who was getting colder sweat and kept shedding tears. Crying.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOTFXxvUmT
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBEsMueGBR
Half an hour later.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolttBTUdLC
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNMxZXZKGL
The girl brought several adult men, teachers. To approach the location and find Voltase who was already pale as a corpse.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7J8qP7YFA
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYsKA8ZOZM
A male teacher, carried Voltase by slipping one hand under his knees and the other under his shoulders. Hugging him in an embrace.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSHFE71h5x
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw69CfPWKV
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbjCFNbAy7
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrJV3IGC8D
The apple that had long been neglected, still lay there. As if becoming a silent witness to this.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAv5uoBek1
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ536f8PzHGi
The situation was controlled a few hours later. With both parties' parents called to explain the situation that occurred.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHdTTRSfvZ
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLTcCCDGU1
The incident was settled with the guarantee that the girl would take responsibility and not repeat the same mistake in the future.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHvlp0SEWQ
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr9lYaqBzX
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZNUczWKIa
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdWJI0GUOg
He attended class, although he had difficulty writing using his left hand. In the end, the hidden boy gave up.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbotNIWqEd
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdJov3tUBf
The girl who still felt guilty, approached Voltase. She took over in doing assignments or writing in the boy's notebook.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIFpIlBqVm
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLmsf9RwVL
While continuing to repeatedly say194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSSJxMkzSK
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY5d3Wmgbx
"Forgive me..."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkszJeHy0wT
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4QUg3bW0Y
"Sorry..."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOGyLyuPNG
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnZ8dHtpex
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KoRWB5lAK
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEZ1KDxrxD
In his little brain, if he kept ignoring this girl, it would make him constantly disturbed and labeled as bad by other children.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH6i7qyoTB
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll3A3CXriy
So he reluctantly opened his mouth to speak.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKqIyAPRBa
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEqtAKPOV3
"Stop apologizing."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgaKh6gZSx
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxkaWy4LZh
After a pause to think for a moment, he spoke again while shifting his gaze to look in another direction.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S5CNEANZi
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf0ACLICeq
"I... forgive you."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TmWZSAbRk
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10vHzIDdfH
"As compensation... you help me with some things."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc38TVAMURh
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn9rgolWmq
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbWg4jFmBu
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM0BvaXg9D
The girl's small fingers tried to wipe away her tears that kept falling.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7QG4rfiaz
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj0RRqJ5vn
She with a gentle and innocent smile, introduced herself.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZYTyHHz75
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEz9ieWJn1
"My name is Marie Hardt."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoM4wSdIPk
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbZIiOJwbU
"I will help you with anything, and protect you, even if my life is the price."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJzcxb9zNX
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qP55KjaEb
"I promise!"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lp3PAXS7t
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDkh8RSUBi
Voltase looked at the girl named Marie awkwardly. That was a big promise for breaking his arm some time ago.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3Iiv7rQXC
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEb7euGGRt
A week later.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2xh1MzqZt
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAWJozCkFq
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGRLrXZXaQ
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK0xzMi8Qd
And during that time, Marie kept her promise.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4dlaFBGfQ
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCTKOiWsqM
The girl helped Voltase in difficult situations related to his right hand. Like taking notes or writing.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI4UuKypCR
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNAn497poX
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lgM9mh4Fc
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeuSlE1IWm
Which made Voltase feel defeated.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡept8FVEP7h
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R958VB0F8
Finally he ate what Marie fed into his mouth with a spoon.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfZXBOK3u0
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhArTgi5sRs
On the other hand, Marie also protected Voltase from bullying while his hand was still injured.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzltfyvdGS
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdAEzoA99m
The way she protected him was quite creepy.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI3moacjVW
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwI0Llm42N
Like, punching the bullies with her small clenched hands. Or pulling other children's hair. Even biting their hands.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTFlRy7hy9
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N3BgGfrWd
Really a thug.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDQjq90vD4
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqmKWCD1Gb
Until Voltase who accidentally saw the fight, added one reason not to make Marie angry.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rSqYI2qYd
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQx9KK5O0A
It was like waking a sleeping lioness.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hCHPUqmKv
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuxNNwhiQx
Scary.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kC9F6hKtX
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uBRiTgkgQ
Voltase's reverie on his past memories was interrupted when he was startled.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WGz5KYcUf
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85Z8K9hJJY
Feeling the coldness of ice cream on the glass surface, which Marie deliberately did playfully.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHRttjPzIj
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H7FrrJ5ns
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWuq785CeP
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vFJ2IBHvf
Waking up her friend from daydreaming.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbQlTKtpwC
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8cvl8sPXd
"Don't daydream, or I'll eat your ice cream..."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB01NeR2ki
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAM4tnJePj
Voltase only felt a twitch at the corner of his lips, for some reason it made him annoyed.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXEHD6mEBG
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ikyFEdyMw
Taking a deep breath before exhaling. Finally he took the bowl of ice cream from Marie's hand.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4ayUyIDSS
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHqxHy4M3M
"You surprised me."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9rkKeuxT3
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I2Z2usfez
"Oh? Sorry. I did it on purpose..." Marie winked one eye at him.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKWkJbdGNo
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmVPMTvK5T
Voltase sighed.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy4f0K1nqT
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnd49PA7Pa
They started walking towards the table near the window to sit on chairs and started eating ice cream calmly.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0TbnMLKGa
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZTEjZ4EaG
A calm atmosphere rarely occurred in the canteen which was always crowded and noisy with other children.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEeQcZPLCF
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI1XLdB9Lv
"I miss Ian."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstAwkmJFj7
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKFD3Hzwwb
Marie scooped her vanilla ice cream, putting it into her mouth with a pouty expression.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6Oa02cmiV
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFare0qxUhb
Which according to Voltase, it was similar to a hamster. A small furry animal that has 1001 silly ways to die.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tW9WbC6q4
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4wRResZBO
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4FoHNuPDE
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtlAJwibQt
After three seconds, Voltase finally could answer Marie without any change in emotion.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVISudIbuR
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE2dbw9ihu
"I know."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6c76oyeos
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk2FQW4ZN6
Marie looked at Voltase suspiciously but ignored it not long after.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPneDLkI37
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD7RjxQHTz
"He left without telling us."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WdrRkMW9C
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn543IGuJcp
"If I meet him in the future, I will give him the warmest greeting that my father taught me."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAc6z71VWG
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40zGLrVvpr
"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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtknabMznee
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g2tBKNBw9
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyZjbCw26d
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQEWZlaxma
"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!"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqFeehIicw
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoDg6UbeCC
"Marie, he's not a ghost."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ4Fe0l5Wy
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73CIK4QBcl
"He's a ghost, Voltase!"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJXw7pQLhz
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjnBlX3EJ7
"No, Marie."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4TTDFQ98F
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBeoVWPL0n
"So you're defending Ian now?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT21CyM4j5
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gKyYfoGlW
"No, that's not what I meant—"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39p1J9GF1M
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQzTIG9P3z
"You're mean! I won't be friends with you anymore, hmph."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7270dRtgAT
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKOdif3YEl
Marie leaned back in her chair, crossed her arms and turned her face away with a pout. The typical characteristic of sulking children.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHrtYBja9s
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnF6RMs2Cv
And Voltase, only felt the corner of his lips twitch more.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMh8n62GhD
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaRoE6rB8r
Frustrated, he rubbed his face with one palm. Then peeked through the gaps of his thin fingers.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg7XYV7U4J
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISMXgQEDeG
"Alright, alright. You win."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlOMZPDHHO
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VATAdYDSt
"I'm wrong, I'm mean."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUShGSO7Xf3
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUVbrJPspj
"I'm the devil here."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79VtOaeyd5
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibVb0q4JtL
Voltase finally couldn't help but follow Marie's way of playing while sulking at this moment. The only way to solve the problem.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91fhEBWVMW
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb6ntc5QqH
Which had been proven many times.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gcFSRtRko
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u8Q22kg1h
Marie, who was sulking, glanced at Voltase, snorted. Then took a glass bowl containing Voltase's chocolate ice cream, making it hers.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU5LLdnb2i
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdVXaFY35z
"If so, now this thing is mine!"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfShhb53pr
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO04d8eltx
Voltase looked at his missing bowl with a resigned expression. "You still have vanilla ice cream—"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje1cJBshXG
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKCaMKLPg3
"That's mine too!" Marie scooped the chocolate ice cream triumphantly.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfA5jkpqa2
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWcw0wR4fE
"Yours isn't finished yet—"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVcweK1kMf
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdOpv7oCjv
"I will finish it!, now be quiet!"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOEQEhh3hV
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbONTlATzuH
Voltase could only stare at Marie who shamelessly devoured his ice cream in front of him.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoGYhOQrSI
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdok9ycbmJ
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGMr5Ro2UT
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAPZj8G4oQ
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6W6WdDb23
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaRvhPcbrr
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILKOnWMa4P
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiANfc6PNV7
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BAWxX18VM
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2S3J7Sh4F
But before he could stand up, Marie spoke again.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCVn2DR3go
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7qVr91mbc
"I'm curious," she said, her voice suddenly serious. "You said in that dream, you saved someone. Then what happened after that?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8ogGw9fa5
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBQjAvtVv4
Voltase looked at her, surprised by the question. He didn't expect Marie to still be interested in the details of his nightmare.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeurWW3SBCI
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej8ZkTMiqz
"After that... we walked together."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeXSZDUPoE
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnkq3ESoOz
"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."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYyAn2aXrV
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BeYYIRXoi
He stopped, frowning. "But I don't remember his face. Only his voice, and his smile."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB05KTrdb85
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy5HMdSJiw
Marie nodded, her eyes narrowing in thought.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTOIznXKQa
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6JwbjQBP7
"Strange."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEUh7W4Ug3
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8NEuKqphv
"My father said, dreams are just a manifestation of the brain that is still working for a moment during sleep."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBFMSzbnBj
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FyqlCDwBN
"And usually dreams are blurry, but you remember many details. Are you sure it was just a dream?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIzY4iKliD
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT7G6deEVV
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMXJI51aF8
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ5uImDNK5
But he couldn't say that to Marie. He didn't want to worry her. even though his words felt hollow.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUmSaD7MOr
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gisfWU6pF
"I'm sure it was just a dream."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN520F3L8KK
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tz5caNlfC
Marie stared at him for a long time, as if she could see the lie behind his eyes. But then she nodded and smiled.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5uqLLZxHq
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpRzvIUCe0
"Alright, if you say so."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQT8GVW1QS
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJinj1YbRfV
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."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK8tFQzsmr
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKxYuBzyS2
They walked out of the canteen together, leaving the empty glass bowls on the table.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumo68XTlYG
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5RI3ltT2a
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCFqFcTfUC
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogkIsoyu42
He shook his head, trying to erase that memory, and walked faster to catch up with Marie who had already stepped ahead.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0emeSFzNsD
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP5s6YsXK8
Meanwhile, on the other side of the school.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYz5pohqwt
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkqIqf5VoB
Inside one of the empty classrooms, five children were sitting in a circle around one table.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw4CZ8VbLl
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SqMsVyePv
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8KDqxjnSV
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ34uHBoCpU
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg5Q8MxKME
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXgi0mnArT
"When are we going to play this game?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJmeP5ivQO
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK4G7PqaPo
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Wreif1fpr
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrX2fzEvmk
"Friday night, or Saturday," he answered, his fingers tapping the table with an impatient rhythm. "That's a suitable time."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNWKXJemNM
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgSUJJH9oA
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN2or7GIU9
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiPLi9fZ7B
"Are you sure about playing this game?" he asked, his voice trembling slightly.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZXtxySD3G
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBuqBCY6al
His fingers moved non-stop, as if looking for something to calm down.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVzTbzH5GL
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZhhxaUJ9T
On the other side of the table, two almost identical children sat side by side.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE4oVTgely
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz9rTwYWMe
They were Nerry and Sandy, a pair of twins with silver-grey hair and different eyes.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRkDmjVVIm
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwSwXFXkWw
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqHmpTeDUq
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTgSz9oBXa
"I'm not sure," said Nerry in a flat voice.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW8DrvEPtm
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT1XyajaPc
"It sounds fun," added Sandy, his lips forming a thin smile.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3blsS6z4Gv
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi9dDJYK6Z
The conversation continued with Moon, who was still scared, speaking again. He was scared, but also curious.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbwmnHEG2U
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMCbukVMZm
"Is that the Yes or No game?" Moon moved his hands blindly.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjURbpZ3rF
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40JKA6XXUA
"I've heard the story, it's a cursed game. Summoning spirits—"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKje0FgO4RZ
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B2DOvu1vq
"No need to be that scared. Spirits or ghosts aren't real."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfAzCbGa24
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43WvbMjid0
Regard cut off Moon's words, he patted the back of the cowardly boy with his palm.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviMEFOq6Ir
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jl1LolT2e
"If they exist, I will fight them!"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEwRIoJFve
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywdfqjNp4a
The almost identical twins just stared at Regard with calm looks. They both spoke alternately.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1GB3uTyl1
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJAvhpf8rT
Sarcasm.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2udat4dox
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sMMK41xw8
"From someone who was scared some time ago when there was a power outage"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv2p3LDHAm
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2byBNJDdS2
"And from someone who called his mother until the power came back on"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT2aeYo1Gg
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcy0TR8DdH
Regard with a red face between embarrassment or annoyance, pointed at the twins alternately.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHR5KRXnNp
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpzP73pkh4
"Hey! That's different!"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj009b2TDf
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87FOchuaml
"You must have experienced it too when you were little!"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YYUarUrny
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlUpQPYkg1
"Don't pretend to be stupid with me!"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnOIuKP8KR
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCsU3MyWHZ
Elly, who had only been watching without interrupting, finally couldn't hold back her laughter.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFG2czMOsJ
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc84QWbPL2b
She held her stomach, laughing out loud until tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA8NhGE6hP
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcNcZCfATg
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh8Ysk192Y
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G2GMKPTJX
But when the laughter subsided, a heavy silence enveloped them again.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq92UXaahf
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg33ytOjKZB
Elly wiped her eyes, then looked at Regard seriously. "So, how is this game played?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mTxbcWrvD
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56YrjhDzav
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0aDD6k3w4
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GIzxEqoEh
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2yTVMkTRN
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NMauDXd8m
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5RFWwB1ak
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLFpEE6zE8
"I got this from my older cousin," said Regard, emphasizing his words with pride.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr1SXzDV6U
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4WG6UDYYD
"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."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4DuYmo6zQ
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqrD6i7Dhd
Moon bit his lower lip, his fingers getting more restless playing with the edge of his sleeve.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNrBmFRwyE
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWB77DTi3v
"That's creepy," he said softly.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XtiRxjR6u
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwvvkdUsMF
"Why do you want to play this? We're still children. We shouldn't be playing with things like this."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7JGxaE2m9
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctu0a5S0V5
"Because it's interesting."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FLE1YKvdI
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcRkGg8va7
Elly answered quickly, cutting off Moon's words, her eyes sparkling with genuine interest.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKtP6Uwte4
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaBmehsIEG
"Imagine, we can ask anything. About exams, about the future, about things we don't know. Isn't that cool?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaVNwXHBFK
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBvzGRumYs
"But are we ready for the answers?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdHwNyw4nB
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IW2e4J3hx
Sandy asked in a calm voice. His emerald green eyes stared at Regard sharply.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wiJ6LGgjs
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbziHALXSq
"Sometimes, the answers we receive are not always pleasant."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr20aucjwp
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHMSemC8dK
Regard shrugged. "That's a risk that must be taken. No one dares without risk, right?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DoBKx2LS4
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKBxdYK1Ct
He looked at each person at that table one by one.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh3WwphVgS
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRkVWlmeNi
"So, who wants to join?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlLsJgj6jY
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBzQvTkq57
One by one, they nodded.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9qsy4C64r
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU2vK4Er73
Moon was the last, with a clearly hesitant expression on his face, but he nodded anyway.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS3YBhex0a
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy9TUDVWeE
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC7KxaV3p8
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuRwa8d44g
They would bring candles, paper, and pens, following the instructions written on the crumpled paper.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUlTIpIRY5
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsxyILy5h9
The exam ended at one in the afternoon.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecqZlKmIbp
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGESLNBI3T
Voltase collected his answer sheet with a tired movement, then walked out of the classroom with the other students.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NNdJMAAtN
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsu4R9Zg2G
He saw Marie waiting for him in the corridor, with an expression that was hard to read.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ywHs0Rrg4
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgAlbs7grb
"What's wrong?"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUA4Ry8IXn
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39To1nBfUz
Marie shook her head, but her eyes kept staring at Voltase anxiously.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLshfMBoIWs
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ikFqWJ8iv
"I heard some children in the next class are planning to do something strange," she said softly, almost whispering.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP2fv6LFTT
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4sGl3QtnQ
"They said they will play a spirit summoning game in the old warehouse behind the school."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FOK71Mtzu
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq4iZK4gdR
Voltase frowned. "Summoning spirits? That's just nonsense children talk about."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3FGnpBZiW
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GkloocX5B
"Maybe," said Marie, but her voice was not convincing. "But I have a bad feeling. I don't like all of this."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3XWd9IfzE
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16i91whWVh
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGdqY90aLL
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy6YOXyuom
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv60pViNjFH
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVHTlYRnxw
But he also couldn't ignore Marie's feelings.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7SQJXd4iG
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWroIBCICr
"We don't need to interfere."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7g0uo3Gur
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSObfElIkgS
"They will play, then get bored, and it will all end."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fKN5RY1pq
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwhh6c7egf
Marie nodded slowly, but the frown on her forehead did not disappear.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzKPRpAwqF
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZozhtgYGV
"You're right. Maybe I'm too worried."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovOutuX63z
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvMiMJOPWG
She smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGtpX8Tobu
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm9n6MDJdV
"Come on, let's go to the library. I want to find a book about astronomy."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkgwjDcBCF
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWuXOPoRHg
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMrApuz6Gt
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfkLMHO2Kt
A dark premonition began to grow in his chest, like a poisonous plant creeping slowly.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n8aH7Mkfc
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYOFqquqIq
Afternoon came quickly. Voltase and Marie parted at the school gate, with a promise to meet tomorrow morning.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtDGmipy5K
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8kwBxxFec
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RoruRf2mp
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SGMcHT1Q6
He turned around several times, but there was no one. Only the evening wind rustling among the trees.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZObjOpukUT
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zXkyUkzlW
Maybe he was just too paranoid, or too alert.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJT6bUnA5D
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNleTSkNjZ
When he arrived at his room, he immediately lay down on the bed, physically and mentally exhausted.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4qHW4sBLy
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5EnUEqMcw
He stayed awake until late at night, his eyes staring at the cracked ceiling.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9wDTuCYAZ
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrWjk9LQYD
His phone lay beside the pillow, the screen still on with the search column he hadn't closed.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzwgDUip8x
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWadUUSOsoY
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcrxJwH6nN
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bSGC6sfLe
Both involved other worlds, invisible entities, and horrible consequences.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45tdLzLjce

At two in the morning, he finally fell asleep.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrQZwRvFh1
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuIu6AbF55
There was no dream that night, only empty darkness. But when he woke up the next morning, he felt something was different.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIfDH83rsm
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmfv4R32Ca
He prepared to go to school earlier than usual.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBWU8FMYF6
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDTw2ehXX7
On the way, he passed the old warehouse behind the building, the place where the game would be played.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf5x6LXP0n
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPcMTb63ak
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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xTvWxbq9e
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3hS4mNaBR
Voltase felt goosebumps, and he walked faster away from that place. He didn't know what would happen tonight, but he knew he had to prepare.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCOU8oWlda
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDdY1A6OYu
He had to survive, like in the dream. He had to save himself, and maybe others too.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRwdXcA6SJ
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOImE3ssb9m
When he arrived at school, he saw Marie already sitting on their usual bench, staring at him with questioning eyes.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvHFzheWOR
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRXSNrqRQm
Voltase sat next to her, and without preamble.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4CixxzQBf
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewMb0KqvPU
"I think I should join that game."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0DLoQvxh6
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4jdRSGbih
Marie turned quickly, her eyes wide.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2K3M2Tbs2
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeYFMjox9T
"What? Are you crazy? That's dangerous!"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKsP6aXYBH
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknx9FSOPjj
"I know,"194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUYqezqWKl
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mAWulkR0H
Voltase spoke with a calm but firm voice.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrzlvNUmC8
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XEkxZiPoK
"I feel like something is happening there. I can't explain it, but I have to know."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc73nMUBPx
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoXaIgn3uV
Marie stared at him for a long time, and for a moment, he saw anxiety in her eyes. But then the girl nodded.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVAjijiq2m
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5M56DuAdE
"If you go, I'm going too," she said firmly.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqOshrVpDP
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdnJWrjS2q
"Both of us, together."194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaBDMAcTHO
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBgfMTxwJk
Voltase smiled slightly. That was Marie, always loyal, always brave. And with that smile, he felt a little hope.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52kDCvxJDy
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1RDkvjthj
Maybe, together, they could face whatever was coming.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkRlzhDhy7
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9D0JHmicM
And tonight, they would not die.1234 copyright protection190ＰＥＮＡＮＡQio8Abl6Xc 尼
