The morning sunlight shone through the cracks in the curtains and illuminated the room.
Alex woke up and mumbled, ''It started today."
At this thought, he got up from the bed, strolled to the window, and looked outside. The scenery outside appeared peaceful, but he knew a storm was coming as the initiator; who would he not know.
After his morning routine, Alex went into the big hall where the others were waiting. Maria, Gracier, Sakuya, and Noire disguised as him with their luggage already packed; Lilith and Alice stood together.
''Morning, everyone.''
The others greeted him back, and after one last meal he personally cooked, they left. During the meal, not much was said as they could feel their reluctance; they were afraid of failing to restrain their urges to stay if they spoke too much.
''Ah!''
