"Uncleeee!" shouted little Ren in her cute voice. she ran to her uncle's room when she woke up from her nightmare. she hated fire and was afraid that she would be devoured by it.
Even his uncle who couldn't see in the dark just sat with his eyes closed. "Ren, you had another nightmare? Come here, uncle will stay awake until you fall asleep again," his uncle's warm voice was able to calm him a little.
Ren hugged his uncle's stomach and used his uncle's arm as a pillow. After that, his uncle said many things. However, what sounded clear was, "Ren, if your fear is still there when you were growing up, I hope I'm still the first person you go to when you have nightmares at night."
That's how Ren had these few days, namely remembering memories that would never be repeated. Inhaling the perfume of the person who always waves his hand in the morning before leaving for work. This was where Ren was, a neatly arranged room, abandoned by his owner.
Ozi opened the door to Nobi's room slowly. However, He immediately sighed when he saw Ren sitting pensively on Nobi's bed. he approached the girl with a glass of water in his hand.
"You always forget to eat and drink when you're sad," said Ozi, handing the glass of water to Ren. Ren glanced at him, then accepted the glass silently. The water was immediately drained by Ren in one gulp.
"Let's go out and eat. Look in the mirror, your face is very pale because you don't want to eat for a few days," Ozi grumbled, expecting Ren to obey him this time. Because it had been several days the girl had not heard his words. Even so, he knew enough that Ren was the one who was the most devastated at this time.
"Not eating at all won't make me die and catch up with Uncle Nobi," Ren said coldly. she didn't look at Ozi's face as she spoke.
"Stop saying stupid things! Come on follow me!" Ozi grabbed Ren's hand. Ren looked at his hands with a sharp gaze.
"Do not want to!" Ren refused by throwing Ozi's hand.
"Why are you so stubborn. Come on, you have to eat," annoyed Ozi this time using energy when pulling Ren. Ren finally stood up, but not for long. The girl suddenly fainted in his arms and made him panic even more.
Ozi laid Ren on the bed, then rushed to Bima's house, the doctor who often checks Ren and Nobi's health condition. he called Bima to come to Ren's house immediately. After that, they went to Ren's house together. After being examined, Bima said that Ren lacked food and vitamin intake.
Ozi was alone waiting for Ren when Bima had returned home. he sighed when he saw Ren lying weakly on the bed. After seeing the recipe Bima gave him, he rushed out to buy everything written there.

Alen crept behind the wall. He saw Ozi about to open Ren's door. "Shh! Ozi!"
Oz rolled his eyes. The plastic in his hand immediately fell to the ground as he walked quickly to Alen. "Why are you here again? You want to ruin Ren's life again?" he hissed which immediately grabbed Alen's collar.
Alen shook his head as he tried to release Ozi's grip. "I won't do that. I came here because I was worried about Ren," said Alen in a panic because Ozi was still angry.
Ozi pushed Alen hard to take a few steps back. "You have no right to worry about her. Go before I scream and burn you with my own hands!"
"I just wanted to say something to Ren. Please allow me to meet with her," said Alen pleading and was about to enter Ren's house.
Ozi pushed Alen back away from the door. "Ren is sick right now. she just mourned her uncle's death," he growled. Alen was immediately silent and could not say a word.
"Ozi, who are you talking to so noisy—" Ren stopped when he saw the face of a man he hadn't seen in days.
Ren immediately entered after seeing Alen, but her hand was immediately grabbed tightly by Alen. "Just listen to me for a second. I have something important to tell you."
Ren took a few steps back until Alen's grip was released. "What else do you want to talk about? Just one big lie you have done. Now, I don't want to fly anymore and you have succeeded in reducing the pollution in Aves City. So get out of my sight because I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore."
Allen sighed tiredly. "Ren, please just once let me speak," said Alen slightly pleading. Ren shook his head.
"You don't know yourself, Alen. Did you not hear what Ren said earlier? she doesn't want to deal with you anymore," Ozi growled. he pushed Alen back violently.
"Ren, you—" Alen didn't continue his words because he heard footsteps approaching towards them. Alen immediately hid behind a wall and slowly walked away from it. he decided to leave Aves Village instead of being caught by the white wings.

Ren saw Ozi prepare medicine and a glass of water. she accepted and immediately drank it. To be honest, she felt weak before this. Fortunately, there is Ozi who is happy to take care of her. "Ozi, sorry I always bother you."
Ozi who was eating an apple on a chair in the room immediately stopped chewing. he looked at Ren with a flat look. "You just noticed? How would it be without me? You want to die alone, and then be found rotting because no one notices?"
"Gosh, what a cruel thing you say. If that's the case, my hopes of a peaceful death will be disturbed," Ren said, then shuddered at the thought of what Ozi had just said.
Ozi placed his half-lived apple on the table beside the chair. Then, approached Ren who was lying on the bed. he held Ren's forehead and the girl's body temperature started to drop. "Are you feeling any better?"
Ren nodded. "Soon it will be fine. I just need to finish some of that medicine."
