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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom9gR3qmux
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrrat8KX4s
His hands did not stop writing, taking screenshots of information and starting to save them.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX2DZbkTFH
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAKlPNtDd5
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bxH2XDUCS
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUFFifnKK5
Marie sat next to Voltase while moving her pencil over paper, drawing a scene of a sports field, where students were playing soccer.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR304FyKCR
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCmN93OaXB
They both sat on the edge of the field, while leaning back against the chair backs.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS4zCJhhKS
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJMVAV1IIF
Enjoying the morning after the semester exams finished in the morning, and only waiting for the next exam in the afternoon.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p3Fq0T6gB
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cLd1L6YSj
"You are quite quiet today," Marie stopped scribbling in her book to look at Voltase who was silent and looked serious on his phone.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6yR73em4B
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sZ19p2wwr
"Is something happening?"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ab3swzfbI
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyFohjEXBL
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEafBAm2KL
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88RmQgsDrY
He chose a neutral but vague way to answer the question.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU2oik3VOa
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ejUULii9h
"I had a nightmare again last night."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB9jYJBe1O
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAqMlUUlkW
"However, this time I am still alive."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A3MMf7Veq
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoHjaiTK6R
He calmly lowered his phone after pressing the button to turn off the screen.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ992nAVrETI
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyW35up1ik
"I managed to save someone there."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8eShsDOSK
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxJ7ctu8xX
Marie looked at Voltase with shining eyes, she moved her body closer to be able to listen further interest.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS3JQAaLvx
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQxGXFHJB7
"Really?, can you tell me more."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEagkc072i
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYtkwmiBgD
The boy could not be helpless against Marie's gaze.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAJMU3qzvI
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZxEaff4IM
He was really weak, it was his fault for being friends with this girl. With a heavy sigh, he began to explain.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4QOek7JxA
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96sEQM9Ars
"The story is long."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtOhOG0n6H
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qtovzgcUG
"I'll make it short, someone in my dream is the key to ending all these nightmares."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXjN7aZcL9
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfBbB5V9yo
"My first dream, I failed to do it."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQBDCWHP5c
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGM7CtcSSL
"My second dream, I failed again."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI4JI4zqc7
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFO8njRjC3
He raised one index finger and middle finger as a count. Continuing with the little finger.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoLjvwGnh3
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xc5mHQvqP
"My third dream, yesterday. I managed to save him."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3NdE9S6vp
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqyHe6gDBl
The girl opened her mouth and closed it again. Like a fish stranded in water.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy6rn74QGd
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvSDHLG65P
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWD0r7naUt
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd4mzRgUR3
"The result is quite good. At least I don't have to experience death again..."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEm8rK6nqt
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N6jzdN7Nq
Voltase ended the explanation with an awkward laugh.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhVBd6XE36
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuQ6MoJoke
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2IDFTityj
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznChl6foSK
Very different from Voltase who was forced to mature by his environment, and had been a sidelines observer since childhood. he always avoided conflict.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvOwfPF5Lf
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kqYY9FoWz
"I can understand a little, that must be horrible."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPROv8ti8lO
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHcGt33Xh3
Marie finally chose another approach, hugging one shoulder of her friend who was always quiet and gloomy about everything.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK53mqRHaof
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5rluQkbPj
"So, to ease that. Let's go to the canteen, I heard there is ice cream today."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYGH0zyjXU
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnGW1AZBDf
The onyx eyes that were always dark and seemed bored, sparkled with full of faint interest.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtHTNKo85n
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbYe1zH2oy
And Marie knew that.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21IljNZjWo
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhFW9JQrVz
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3qgF7kQgQ
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y9lx6q2q4
Voltase, who was being dragged by this girl, could only sigh.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFZYyshkny
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADX2tTaL4S
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeujIlP83RD
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn8QKGvMwH
He started remembering their first meeting back then. A meeting that made him feel a headache until now.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmKVoZ2HAp
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP5sRFafPi
3 years ago.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpZdF69pMs
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmVlaC48VP
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr64OGrDWr
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMQkKKk9x8
He patted his stomach that kept rumbling, protesting to his body because it had not been filled with food.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQypIvpJCb
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0DcMjpRDs
The bored onyx eyes kept staring at the apples on the tree branches, red in a teasing way and inviting to be picked.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28QpMfboMH
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLGk2QToIQ
There was only one problem.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW0A3W9Mgg
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVq09UuvUc
Voltase was afraid of heights. He was really afraid of heights. Heights only made him feel dizzy, nauseous and cold sweat.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wpy3brePr
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtdvgm0uTz
And that became a serious problem in this situation.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61yLjBCgoW
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5mCdt65ei
For fifteen minutes he stood looking up at the apple tree while holding back hunger that made his hands and feet cold.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V0JCgi4xS
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejv8zzTMY2
Finally, he turned around and chose to leave this place.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89wQKXxRJr
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS05anuYCx
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmCHwCO1IU
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSkkjygMIS
The child noticed how hungry the boy was.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UhGdzPWOq
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YQ0aaTJOm
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wOEN0akIW
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc43Z9Xn2F
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG2jqRNXMu
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMws3iowEf
The onyx eyes that were usually bored, sparkled with pure panic.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IXxXTF4VH
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hFpK5dTJl
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsKIfXpZ1e
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK5mzzl8hn
Finally, the girl was already a third of the way up the tree trunk. Until she reached its branches and stood up.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KPatByb1f
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDcnez3K6c
She stood, one hand gripping the tree trunk as support, and the other hand reached up trying to pick the apple above.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1jKFFPyuJ
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DwTRWUKEB
Her small feet stood on tiptoe as the tips of those tiny fingers slowly touched the surface of the apple.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SdrQPp7gb
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IWfrRnuod
Voltase, who watched the whole incident, felt his heart beat fast. Cold sweat flowed down his temples and fell downwards.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2sbpsHjGx
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qAtCMcXXg
What felt like forever. He spoke to the girl in a typical but soft child's voice.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdnSzs5JN6
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhzEgaqNNI
"Come down! That's dangerous!"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuU4GgjSab
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib3aWoTAre
He started approaching the apple tree when he realized that a small mistake would cause the girl to fall from the tree.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8VD0wYPfL
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxX77b0yci
What he feared happened.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWqer8MvLL
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl0vvDmVrh
The girl who managed to get one apple, slipped and fell from the tree.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg4JPtryne
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTgAXgy5JE
Voltase, who was initially walking, switched to running with wide strides.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV6rlpPNym
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdoZfrledf
His weak small legs and thin arms reached out trying to catch the girl from falling to the ground.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGwcr6gpDF
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdS7bqLd7D
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh1tQOFMq2
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCVlMTRK5n
Voltase, who managed to save the girl, realized his right arm hurt more than the pain on his body that landed on the grass.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBke9GTdIF
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V7QjhuF6e
A whimper of pain escaped from those pale lips.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMNOl93vVJ
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hGvSOpRp8
The girl who had closed her eyes finally opened them after feeling no pain anywhere.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokAA9lIZaH
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSPxFykedh
She looked at the boy next to her, lying in pain with a surprised expression.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD1QUtPmgb
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBDbFaKrH7
The apple in her hand fell forgotten.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sz5MHA7HE
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfdDe3Rr1y
"Sorry!"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3unZoFS8kQ
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcvxhzjhZJ
Finally the girl got up and started checking on this boy. With almond brown eyes that looked guilty.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjR6oFqHWd
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZdfxsNHkF
"I didn't mean to!"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2OYhq6ROI
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QT1IbjIN8
"This is my fault"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShR2I7VGlv
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9QUtptQRz
"Sorry, sorry, forgive me"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsV57T8CDH
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCuX20NkWg
"Ah!", Voltase unconsciously screamed when the girl touched his right arm.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vr9V09H8N
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82lDcSrNrU
His eyebrows furrowed and his left hand gripped his right arm. A tear fell from the pain.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWElgfdN4Ml
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMCjxz7Qin
The girl saw the chaos that happened, panicked even more. Finally she stood up.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQyyESlYj7
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkBjgRhfSJ
"I'll go for a moment, to call the teacher."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj2KFzdHz1
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5vaWz99Lx
"You wait here."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u2KtFor8M
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fW66k5nQG
"Don't go anywhere!"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYtPW09MNj
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSQW1elnkJ
She left Voltase who was getting colder sweat and kept shedding tears. Crying.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEI0mZyB4i
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrDBFcsB6W
Half an hour later.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKJiEPiZBv
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bmhMrgFSV
The girl brought several adult men, teachers. To approach the location and find Voltase who was already pale as a corpse.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HdV02Q5WG
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBzZv6GtgV
A male teacher, carried Voltase by slipping one hand under his knees and the other under his shoulders. Hugging him in an embrace.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAXj07nQRt
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMU70nOkQF
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmMrEFYNeo
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRmxnjGU29
The apple that had long been neglected, still lay there. As if becoming a silent witness to this.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56IxGbdUs4
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KxNTcrRpv
The situation was controlled a few hours later. With both parties' parents called to explain the situation that occurred.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX186ofyCd
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJqkTE7z1r
The incident was settled with the guarantee that the girl would take responsibility and not repeat the same mistake in the future.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoiupyaOhK
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux7tvoBv7d
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3z9bF0uWy
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTnYrhQz1n
He attended class, although he had difficulty writing using his left hand. In the end, the hidden boy gave up.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKei46STIGv
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiphSBlRVLY
The girl who still felt guilty, approached Voltase. She took over in doing assignments or writing in the boy's notebook.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZddkdCJl9H
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCwCSyRSdJ
While continuing to repeatedly say195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCadKr3afAI
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVmjgyDnmr
"Forgive me..."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMB8nIOb6O
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLBwLnfdgl
"Sorry..."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1hI8KABPu
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6ZTg7yFH8
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha8upTjT2b
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA7iYvwni0
In his little brain, if he kept ignoring this girl, it would make him constantly disturbed and labeled as bad by other children.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrnxCKGTkC
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHBdRVALcO
So he reluctantly opened his mouth to speak.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXYezHvQMH
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8dkg0IdJL
"Stop apologizing."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBRynmJF0p
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLYeGKqnyu
After a pause to think for a moment, he spoke again while shifting his gaze to look in another direction.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yFuqtEqje
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpD2WYJdwZ
"I... forgive you."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQNwnPLvTW
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4CLUrlr34
"As compensation... you help me with some things."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmi3ikxnFx
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XCXsXxPx8
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYDUW30HYC
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDdhZXikjr
The girl's small fingers tried to wipe away her tears that kept falling.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXzUDowbNs
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoZSw30HrZ
She with a gentle and innocent smile, introduced herself.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3qDK8rxRt
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNycCmEvAVR
"My name is Marie Hardt."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa20OI3FFgm
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNOStp0enF
"I will help you with anything, and protect you, even if my life is the price."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vzjxaetZQ
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6aEU9Gk8g
"I promise!"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIjikE6dvJ
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAFID9Bp5f
Voltase looked at the girl named Marie awkwardly. That was a big promise for breaking his arm some time ago.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5dl9vqsRb
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5dNnS4QQ9
A week later.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkr1I671KL
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYEkSxSfs3
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7U6sFOCIt
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ3bKOBgGp
And during that time, Marie kept her promise.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10W75Qdxe8
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY6ndst9gS
The girl helped Voltase in difficult situations related to his right hand. Like taking notes or writing.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiTWTufp1P
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwf88pQbbf
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0f5qGtBbM
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jRUkFYDDW
Which made Voltase feel defeated.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXd1Q6SH4R
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22cR9aWtk7
Finally he ate what Marie fed into his mouth with a spoon.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ztyfv0qud
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrv6NFcgw1
On the other hand, Marie also protected Voltase from bullying while his hand was still injured.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdOBtaWM4v
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D9DrsoOXG
The way she protected him was quite creepy.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDj5Q84i1H
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz05WlUVcjT
Like, punching the bullies with her small clenched hands. Or pulling other children's hair. Even biting their hands.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet4ZbDWeHX
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KtSO8h4hA
Really a thug.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqurTcx4IxN
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFVajRyNTq
Until Voltase who accidentally saw the fight, added one reason not to make Marie angry.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeYXcBrSG0
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rjSZGX7JQ
It was like waking a sleeping lioness.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fkGVXLrte
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qK48BnsGy
Scary.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0s0k3VTWW
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE2RYPg9m4
Voltase's reverie on his past memories was interrupted when he was startled.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xf4aymaas
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16jGmsW7oV
Feeling the coldness of ice cream on the glass surface, which Marie deliberately did playfully.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfEzi5DMXk
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyfOCEG0aA
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBUevuE85N
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4FrH4HD86
Waking up her friend from daydreaming.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9fTJWv1KY
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTL7B6E3m6
"Don't daydream, or I'll eat your ice cream..."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJyjGLzr8u
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNeE8946yL
Voltase only felt a twitch at the corner of his lips, for some reason it made him annoyed.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9uAag3yAz
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDh7AOnM0o
Taking a deep breath before exhaling. Finally he took the bowl of ice cream from Marie's hand.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFUu17Hhjg
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7HqECq90i
"You surprised me."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18aIyc8S60
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMINpGMdoap
"Oh? Sorry. I did it on purpose..." Marie winked one eye at him.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8MJ5sm0mV
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE8nyzGUGw
Voltase sighed.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS12nvs1d2R
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTOJSz6WLK
They started walking towards the table near the window to sit on chairs and started eating ice cream calmly.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9XoaVIG7Y
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xflJFWu2S
A calm atmosphere rarely occurred in the canteen which was always crowded and noisy with other children.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGVpS1jPEv
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jWflDI4m9
"I miss Ian."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8826SuuQ38
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc80wV5BEdV
Marie scooped her vanilla ice cream, putting it into her mouth with a pouty expression.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdgc5vMspf
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qi9iCU2FR
Which according to Voltase, it was similar to a hamster. A small furry animal that has 1001 silly ways to die.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG44UA4GYRi
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxQ8pM3881
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnONcxHwSP
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6I07yTclk
After three seconds, Voltase finally could answer Marie without any change in emotion.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRdTAp6R8d
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYY8R84pTY
"I know."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNt4My39MW
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUIxOI0R5t
Marie looked at Voltase suspiciously but ignored it not long after.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LycSz8jYw
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCD8BhKPib
"He left without telling us."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzYWMTIbhP
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswmTjW7nJz
"If I meet him in the future, I will give him the warmest greeting that my father taught me."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpXpzdLMeD
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oRo0gctkg
"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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVgnBlbQ9w
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ628I7ruDKH
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZRd8T8Jyz
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqjdKSdUjT
"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!"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWmG2joL7p
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiz4lSj8E3
"Marie, he's not a ghost."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQr7H0pQ6a
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPAsVp6Pbq
"He's a ghost, Voltase!"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq0k52vnHk
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxUoyOvcjo
"No, Marie."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYbXED6zfF
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pZr1DC1jn
"So you're defending Ian now?"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvMIBc9kWZ
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ7XPj5O9U
"No, that's not what I meant—"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6wEepijST
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU09vjJKo2
"You're mean! I won't be friends with you anymore, hmph."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68KU63JT5a
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguYKPVO7qP
Marie leaned back in her chair, crossed her arms and turned her face away with a pout. The typical characteristic of sulking children.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxo4ObuXRO
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wGYhYWCzd
And Voltase, only felt the corner of his lips twitch more.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBhIfQZtW8
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx90T6qLNQj
Frustrated, he rubbed his face with one palm. Then peeked through the gaps of his thin fingers.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEOm8yIzXj
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFxCe6c7km
"Alright, alright. You win."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil2z0J0T9T
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdfHcpmSXu
"I'm wrong, I'm mean."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNqk69qlyM
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa93ZvU5OfL
"I'm the devil here."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxsoS9rxm4
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZD1zPXC8a
Voltase finally couldn't help but follow Marie's way of playing while sulking at this moment. The only way to solve the problem.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9Riaxr05e
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OlQcKjIjH
Which had been proven many times.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6jiEk8s7z
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJD9sXQgI6
Marie, who was sulking, glanced at Voltase, snorted. Then took a glass bowl containing Voltase's chocolate ice cream, making it hers.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp2LGVgCdW
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1dSicbGaF
"If so, now this thing is mine!"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkEteu5W9F
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtQpaLJmRu
Voltase looked at his missing bowl with a resigned expression. "You still have vanilla ice cream—"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd1xBYiZIB
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3O0bJLZf9
"That's mine too!" Marie scooped the chocolate ice cream triumphantly.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9ry77fs1B
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxCiJT0e1Y
"Yours isn't finished yet—"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhKVkkdSWm
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG2UpBuTmy
"I will finish it!, now be quiet!"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyo4UNyfFE
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSaROR5pAF
Voltase could only stare at Marie who shamelessly devoured his ice cream in front of him.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStIj0gjzfZ
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM78jynPBS
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNLT0UP6jH
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6eAa4Fh1c
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdLPQk0LoV
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNhGioJfZb
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo97kmBwaD
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ1x3qv00d
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4cTXI90VX
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdr36HmqLk
But before he could stand up, Marie spoke again.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23VE7VCIpt
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLh6hbkzJ1
"I'm curious," she said, her voice suddenly serious. "You said in that dream, you saved someone. Then what happened after that?"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB78Rjs2MJ
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7SukYf6HY
Voltase looked at her, surprised by the question. He didn't expect Marie to still be interested in the details of his nightmare.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL98zIPoaD
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1M4G5vpoO
"After that... we walked together."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR21nr5fENc
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63HIRZdoKK
"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."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPnkVL8rRp
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI0UnFl3az
He stopped, frowning. "But I don't remember his face. Only his voice, and his smile."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GyG7jRlCR
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyy2zDWaoR
Marie nodded, her eyes narrowing in thought.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U7w9IpTzP
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMYJaCJeM5
"Strange."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcXkCHjjZd
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2rroyDRNt
"My father said, dreams are just a manifestation of the brain that is still working for a moment during sleep."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvSlCVwiHv
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuS1kgWmQS
"And usually dreams are blurry, but you remember many details. Are you sure it was just a dream?"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3uZUJSEiR
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39U7CGKA5E
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx4h1PGWZD
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2XaFWrgb0
But he couldn't say that to Marie. He didn't want to worry her. even though his words felt hollow.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVlbzpPzNF
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFnMENf9DX
"I'm sure it was just a dream."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo3Bt2VW2A
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GCgzy5Ehc
Marie stared at him for a long time, as if she could see the lie behind his eyes. But then she nodded and smiled.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI49sqstyel
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIamiivt0rf
"Alright, if you say so."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY24bOSvDl
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZeo5tTJAg
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."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliunYxz5Ga
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKCWHEONQq
They walked out of the canteen together, leaving the empty glass bowls on the table.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9tfXlBIwd
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBI4R4kDyQ
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwyrgWwdfR
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQLtqFuusb
He shook his head, trying to erase that memory, and walked faster to catch up with Marie who had already stepped ahead.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YiNlYly1s
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurtlU6MCz5
Meanwhile, on the other side of the school.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4R3OUGRCH
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYuMhlirZh
Inside one of the empty classrooms, five children were sitting in a circle around one table.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPe8lDNAwq
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zJjXw4nsZ
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWQQlitE4k
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobUEX1OFRl
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkFbPzY28x
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlutloRhF8C
"When are we going to play this game?"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96Jxlm4yXo
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNJwc9IbXi
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41Uz8dzOsl
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kWZmQDxaO
"Friday night, or Saturday," he answered, his fingers tapping the table with an impatient rhythm. "That's a suitable time."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4XmafTl7D
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvzL1wwzLt
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7HRkKnule
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UTkDAUl6R
"Are you sure about playing this game?" he asked, his voice trembling slightly.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YgAVg5Yfd
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WrMnaicuj
His fingers moved non-stop, as if looking for something to calm down.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo16x0Cg0b
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHHa38Z8NY
On the other side of the table, two almost identical children sat side by side.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y2PC5YWss
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75e1aRWcHl
They were Nerry and Sandy, a pair of twins with silver-grey hair and different eyes.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjonWs8Tspi
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQmGuO8qP1
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcBhpGAoPI
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvPxPkuq6R
"I'm not sure," said Nerry in a flat voice.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FdsvSaLVN
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9dmSBtTKl
"It sounds fun," added Sandy, his lips forming a thin smile.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hoP9FVs6u
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj6mYAEXmM
The conversation continued with Moon, who was still scared, speaking again. He was scared, but also curious.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnclrEeHqr
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vZJCqSxN8
"Is that the Yes or No game?" Moon moved his hands blindly.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjyScWnBLv
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFjOyTZ3u3
"I've heard the story, it's a cursed game. Summoning spirits—"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlKVOr9ara
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6R3kRi64f
"No need to be that scared. Spirits or ghosts aren't real."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ4WoDYuGm
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpnwy8p2HB
Regard cut off Moon's words, he patted the back of the cowardly boy with his palm.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzEWbNnYvC
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXeWGHNEDf
"If they exist, I will fight them!"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16yl7ciDBP
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL14im0IdA
The almost identical twins just stared at Regard with calm looks. They both spoke alternately.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyYzFNvXN2
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFnTK8qcuv
Sarcasm.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAAajuyNg9
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6qFzFKnkJ
"From someone who was scared some time ago when there was a power outage"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k9xEtUvgM
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLCW6mmzBn
"And from someone who called his mother until the power came back on"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHweKJVH2K
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A8qt264ju
Regard with a red face between embarrassment or annoyance, pointed at the twins alternately.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnzGZzLdeb
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSJ4msrKGw
"Hey! That's different!"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVdrtugvUT
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwsCEXkzjq
"You must have experienced it too when you were little!"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlZaFYGC7g
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpu9Pvd8hL
"Don't pretend to be stupid with me!"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vwCd9VI5p
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJRyYXJ5vf
Elly, who had only been watching without interrupting, finally couldn't hold back her laughter.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJiau2SAry
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwHEtTyR1d
She held her stomach, laughing out loud until tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgGITnqVPa
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSSmtYpd12
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqauagufjw
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlltLj9838
But when the laughter subsided, a heavy silence enveloped them again.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP22GDO5KZJ
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLjJwFj5BD
Elly wiped her eyes, then looked at Regard seriously. "So, how is this game played?"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqBSN81FYa
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG46iJSkssu
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyl4ND44z5
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62JRfZw9Qv
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEciNLcHq4
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aUHlh5jPR
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZJBh8bBGI
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AY52cDPcr
"I got this from my older cousin," said Regard, emphasizing his words with pride.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDr55KGR1Q
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQCkaBnEwE
"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."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAjM6kYKiY
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUzjsd9JvW
Moon bit his lower lip, his fingers getting more restless playing with the edge of his sleeve.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8qCa7tFuM
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lyIFv5CRr
"That's creepy," he said softly.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweqDSwaXQX
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECq6yQTmlg
"Why do you want to play this? We're still children. We shouldn't be playing with things like this."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfpA6M7kSR
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E7jwnSDkc
"Because it's interesting."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aBxygwuv7
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQJtz5JKzY
Elly answered quickly, cutting off Moon's words, her eyes sparkling with genuine interest.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSa3YPchGy
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMJowT9x2m
"Imagine, we can ask anything. About exams, about the future, about things we don't know. Isn't that cool?"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUHENJaXun
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpWaszVyYZ
"But are we ready for the answers?"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0HeJ4G3RX
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEynUD4mLO
Sandy asked in a calm voice. His emerald green eyes stared at Regard sharply.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb0n6uv20m
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh47hBMmg51
"Sometimes, the answers we receive are not always pleasant."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9RkUi8jZl
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0OLGUXsmi
Regard shrugged. "That's a risk that must be taken. No one dares without risk, right?"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyMskbnRDb
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQJTueR6Vi
He looked at each person at that table one by one.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdDZXlw1wX
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQhck4qSoh
"So, who wants to join?"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3H8GofFSW
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcUquWfKgT
One by one, they nodded.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZPmzuJG6c
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMfYqWXKMz
Moon was the last, with a clearly hesitant expression on his face, but he nodded anyway.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWCvYxPSNi
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezIM0khmYc
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE0fVTSRFL
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzM9UvS43s
They would bring candles, paper, and pens, following the instructions written on the crumpled paper.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJXlQjqg34
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ygeOySJol
The exam ended at one in the afternoon.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYYLCDC0q4
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUjms29X8s
Voltase collected his answer sheet with a tired movement, then walked out of the classroom with the other students.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDmxmAtgjK
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN7Yc9ldCa
He saw Marie waiting for him in the corridor, with an expression that was hard to read.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ChMhImZIU
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JWiyqJv7c
"What's wrong?"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVfWGSZUar
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpptRByurP3
Marie shook her head, but her eyes kept staring at Voltase anxiously.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS08fg9KmyV
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoJkUxm1Pr
"I heard some children in the next class are planning to do something strange," she said softly, almost whispering.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB9Cj4KlEZ
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn34ceNeHvX
"They said they will play a spirit summoning game in the old warehouse behind the school."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaaiAYEiJq
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4HPBDKIvs
Voltase frowned. "Summoning spirits? That's just nonsense children talk about."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpm5KagetZ
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqNClOrJWd
"Maybe," said Marie, but her voice was not convincing. "But I have a bad feeling. I don't like all of this."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPStuq0mf8P
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiyIunslH2
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKW4DL98Ys
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp1Xgyp0x6
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO81gZFHZb
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFCGl8nOkI
But he also couldn't ignore Marie's feelings.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEha8iCxee
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gHyfuv8Es
"We don't need to interfere."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtfD9iuB3A
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TrXtgQJJu
"They will play, then get bored, and it will all end."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0QBJE8Noq
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt5hzpk48t
Marie nodded slowly, but the frown on her forehead did not disappear.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfknijJtK51
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfJsY7kMtj
"You're right. Maybe I'm too worried."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31jb9iJUI1
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU0kTKcghH
She smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPCE6BMzdl
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJsovF0lzW
"Come on, let's go to the library. I want to find a book about astronomy."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDMmrnJDvO
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSpEY0oiSR
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8uwMasomq
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7p8mhqOdY
A dark premonition began to grow in his chest, like a poisonous plant creeping slowly.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT7QGGL38h
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDG8gcgFtU
Afternoon came quickly. Voltase and Marie parted at the school gate, with a promise to meet tomorrow morning.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVWsNHd4F5
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S2RKMa4uA
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ21gjR4ehp
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv6wxLdJIl
He turned around several times, but there was no one. Only the evening wind rustling among the trees.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpkeuq0cQG
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RKegIy09s
Maybe he was just too paranoid, or too alert.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsPDZUvmX1
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhse92R2id
When he arrived at his room, he immediately lay down on the bed, physically and mentally exhausted.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7la9m75noG
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpboQd0JR7
He stayed awake until late at night, his eyes staring at the cracked ceiling.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmz3DzQnjZ
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsDFAjBIL4
His phone lay beside the pillow, the screen still on with the search column he hadn't closed.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp4gvc1Ve7
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVv0ChsDr2
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4QObTydXy
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMZis5w4uX
Both involved other worlds, invisible entities, and horrible consequences.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyMDdEXNnC

At two in the morning, he finally fell asleep.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8j7Q0QoxA
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYOXPfStBt
There was no dream that night, only empty darkness. But when he woke up the next morning, he felt something was different.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQudRF1eSr
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JcLolCUWW
He prepared to go to school earlier than usual.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCn9cdOod2
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoGWajlJTe
On the way, he passed the old warehouse behind the building, the place where the game would be played.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybRiUvNwy1
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeaQSo6acV
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJBGj81h6d
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkrE8AvwZ3
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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKxNbPhOQu
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0CpKnMGd0
He had to survive, like in the dream. He had to save himself, and maybe others too.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNUyccbVAV
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImdlBsKK7p
When he arrived at school, he saw Marie already sitting on their usual bench, staring at him with questioning eyes.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle0ET66pOL
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRzMjh6YlJ
Voltase sat next to her, and without preamble.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z09KRGKYq
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDFe76Crjm
"I think I should join that game."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLqZt5qI8G
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kIaTtHPvo
Marie turned quickly, her eyes wide.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zmfOMf1An
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kaXaA6ujK
"What? Are you crazy? That's dangerous!"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaBvmk068y
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXLbfBxmCD
"I know,"195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pMcqpjSnD
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnmrimLUGE
Voltase spoke with a calm but firm voice.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N8AeKFQm5
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrat50PAnA
"I feel like something is happening there. I can't explain it, but I have to know."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSf7ZkMEm1
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTt5PNfq0j
Marie stared at him for a long time, and for a moment, he saw anxiety in her eyes. But then the girl nodded.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75Mv9MwwkI
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5G0Q6pl52
"If you go, I'm going too," she said firmly.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlOPWN77c1
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtNKqX7Fvu
"Both of us, together."195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKdH2wOZxy
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDADNSG3ZMZ
Voltase smiled slightly. That was Marie, always loyal, always brave. And with that smile, he felt a little hope.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyCFxSsJ8z
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EU4reVPvm
Maybe, together, they could face whatever was coming.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gEKlVb7sA
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnblM99jqYf
And tonight, they would not die.1234 copyright protection191ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF7BOWjs3A 尼
