"Please…stop it, please…" she silently pleaded, holding her head. He couldn't stand it. The memories were flooding into his brain because of the voice coming from inside. The girl lay with her head up to her knees. His body was shaking like a malaria patient.

Even if it was slowly getting dark, and the days were chasing days, there was no sound. After a few days, feeling the seriousness of the job, the woman finally called her husband.
The boy and girl stood beside him, frowning.
"Yes...thanks...thanks..." she put the phone down with an inexplicable expression on her face.
"What happened mom ?"
The woman did not answer the question. She lowered her gaze in the epidemic.
She knew that since her husband was a police officer, there would be long-term operations, it was intense. But this time he was gone for a few days.
He put the phone aside, his face pale.
"Your father was involved in a murder case, they say it's going to take a while"
There was silence in the room.
"Hah, was that the mother? Scare me! My father is always dealing with these cases." The boy shook his head and went back to his room.
The girl looked at her mother in silence for a while. She was feeling her worry.

"Enough, enough," he whispered to himself. He didn't want to remember! He didn't want to experience this all over again!
The girl lifted her head and started banging her head hard on the ground. "Boom, thump!" Until blood runs from his forehead and his brow splits.
The man did not notice his movement over the noise of the television.
The girl lay languidly on the floor, panting, blood, sweat, and tears. He closed his eyes.
Still... why was he alive?
His eyes were blurred, as lifeless as the eyes of a dead man.
He turned his head and stared absently at the piece of bone a few feet away from him. She smiled faintly.
He slowly straightened up. When he stood up, he jerked unsteadily from side to side, but he advanced to the bone.
She took it gently, so carefully that she feared harm. She hugged him, pressing him to his chest. "Okay, okay don't worry. I'll do it.." she whispered to the Bone, and stepped forward lightly into the room inside.
The door creaked, the room slowly emerged. There was an indefinable shapeless corpse lying on the ground.
His left foot was missing below the knee.
He gently lowered it to the ground.
He stood over the corpse and gently stroked the long hair. "Don't be afraid... I know you're afraid mom. Dad will be back. He'll be back safe and sound. Don't worry..."

"Don't be afraid...I know you're afraid mom. Dad will be back. He'll be back safely. Don't worry..." Her eyes warmed with the warmth of her daughter hugging her. He closed his eyes and suppressed his emotions. Her red eyes reflected her true feelings as she tried to stop her crying.
"Well…" he sniffed and found solace in his daughter's arms.
Although the subject was not mentioned again for those few days, the atmosphere in the house was getting worse.
Finally, in the evening of the 5th day, the door opened with the sound of a key.
A man walked in, almost collapsed from exhaustion.
"Wife, I'm here..." Before the tearful man was finally happy to come home, two figures appeared in front of him with grim expressions.
Same expression and stance on both. With her hands on her hips, she was staring at him, almost cutting him with her eyes.
The man was stunned for a moment. Then, as he started to look for the thing that would save his life, the gift he bought for his wife in his pocket, he got entangled.
Of course, he had to do something to redeem himself. Otherwise, what would he do if his wife dragged him out of bed that night and told him to lie on the floor?
When the man could not find the gift, his face immediately turned pale. Even the expressions of the two people in front of him became more and more terrifying, their faces darkening.
"Okay, okay. How about eating out tonight?" His mind seemed to have returned. He quickly tried to think of something.
After saying "huh!" They turned at the same time, entered the room, and slammed the door shut.
Man "..."
He scratched his head awkwardly and saw his son nod in a corner, looking at him with a pitying expression.
At that moment, his self-confidence took a huge hit.
Man "..."
