Yarin's POV:
"Yarin! Hey, come back to your senses!" The sudden shout startled me. I turned around and saw Lily frowning at me. "Watch your clothes, kid. I don't think your shirt is that thirsty, now, is it?"
I looked down and saw that the cup in my hand was tilted at an extremely dangerous angle. The milk was about to spill out of the cup.
"Damn it!"
At the critical moment, I put the glass of milk far away from me on the dining table. This was my last clean shirt. If my mother saw my disheveled appearance, she would nag at me again!
When I thought of my mother, I couldn't help but feel dispirited. Aunt Eve told me my parents were coming to the transit station. They would arrive at noon.
In the morning, many people passed by the lounge with the excuse of doing something and tried to see the real faces of Heller and me. Our 'disappearance' had received considerable attention. My mother had even contacted the human side to find traces of me.
