"I finally found you, dad"
Jay-ar was very shocked. He shook his head and blinked. He will really lose his mind if all he sees is a lizard smiling widely at him and talking to HIM. I haven't drunk the juice yet! And it is not even alcoholic.
"Ardeiles, you're just hallucinating, " he convinced himself but it was the lizard who answered him.
"Dad, I'm here for you. " And it still trying really hard insisting he is his father. Wait- did I become a lizard back then?
"Silly dad" the lizard laughed at him.
He blocked his hand. "don't come near me," But, lizard! Lizard! lizard!... Lizard. It actually jumped on his forehead so he immediately punched it which it was immediately alerted and jumped again. That's why he was hit by his blow that damaged his vision blurr by his own fault. "You have no shame!"
"You're crazy," he heard a woman's tone of disbelief. It was coming from the door of the roof top. And because his gaze was playing, it became three people looking at him.
'you look familiar'
The three figures shook their heads at him before they left, if he wasn't mistaken he heard the lizard scream and planned to follow the woman who had just left. "Mom! Wait!"
ILLEON'S POINT of View:
The entire third floor was left silent by four o'clock in the afternoon. As quiet and noisy as the entire floor was with the students earlier, the entire floor was also cradled in silence. At four o'clock the student volunteers and officers are doing something important. And almost the whole class has duties at this time. Except for me. Since, she got the school bringing a bright face in academic world, she was given a special treatment. Though she objected by the wrong regulations by it, she couldn't oppose of what the FINAL WORD had established. It may lead to her expulsion if she ever say her words by it.
If the third floor is like this cradle of silence, the second floor is the opposite. From the information I found on the second floor, this is the time for the debate on the fair argument and the opposite argument in short words to clean up and go home. Students will be fighting just for a broom or who's assigned role for the cleaning in each areas.
I just came to my senses and dragged my feet to my locker. I put in the passer code before it opened and yesterday's snack was revealed to me that I didn't touch. It was made by our family cook that I forgot yesterday in my locker.
One of those homemade biscuits with a life span of One week and a bottle of strawberry health tea. It's in my little go bag snack. "I need a quiet place," I looked at the ceiling. And grinned. It's time to enjoy my silent life.
But when I got to the roof top, I caught up with my fooling classmate. I actually caught him punching his face and yelling at his own self.. I guess it's an addiction. This is my weird seatmate who can see that you have a large arrears and a large debt that you have not yet paid. It's like 'hey! Your debt! You have no escape from me.'
Or maybe by threatening 'I'm holding your life, try to run, you'll see what you're looking for'
Ahemm, there is still a human who figure the treacherous world that she came from. She shocked her head in revelations.
Hello?! , Is that the one who keeps staring at you? Before I saw what I was looking for, he was the first to see it. It's like he's your personal cctv because his eyes are with you wherever you go. And now... "You're crazy, " He really is a weird person. Finding a good place is quite easy, but seeking an unexpected person in a peaceful place without having guard about it is a slap.
Nothing good will happen to eating my snack in this place. There are many obstacles. I really couldn't have a peaceful eating.

Meanwhile, at the court where the portal was located secretly, people from the other world appeared uninvited.
"Did we really go to the right place?" Vincent spoke looking around, he is not comfortable to the world he sees, it is peaceful no trouble from the undeads, that reminds him of how their world back then before the apocalypse. Kim raised an eyebrow.
"Don't you trust me?"
"Of course..." He smiled widely at first but then shook his head strongly. "Not. maybe you just brought me here to clear the truth that I seen. " he defended himself. He immediately felt the stick applied to his head. He looked at his side and Cleof was looking at him.
"If we really do that to you, then in the first place you are already infected, " Cleoff testified.
"Cleoff stop that"
"Eh, you're monsters too. People like you have consumed the entire kingdom, do you think I'm going to trust something like that?," Evade glared at him. "We're not like them, we're not some sorts of undeads."
One of Vincent's legs retreated and laughed mirthfully." That's the problem, you're different from them." Vincent is a lost soul that they accidentally found, he was meant to end his self by giving his body to be eaten by them. However, they were treated by some sorts of unknown miracle that slacks off their hunger in blood and flesh.
When they found him, they concluded he is the only human who's alive without the fear of the undeads. There might be humans alive out there but they remain hidden. Securing their selves. Because the empire army couldn't do anything from this apocalypse, the empire already collapse. The rules is lost and nowhere to be found.
"What issue do you have with the rest of us or with other dead people?" Kim who behaved.
"What's my issue? You're still asking?! Because it's people like you who have consumed my loved ones! Why aren't you the same with the ones I love? And Why aren't the ones I love the same as you? Why are you the only monsters? who's alive?! Do you think it's that easy to accept that I'm working with people who caused my loved ones to become monsters... So don't be smart" they all stopped when they heard this. For several years they planned to leave their broken kingdom. They spent years trying to find just the one that would help them stay together.
But they couldn't quite imagine that one of them felt that way. Kim held her chest. 'Are our hearts still beating?'
Since they were brought back to their old habits, they no longer felt much joy or sadness. They are dead but their brains still work and they don't eat people but they have no working heart.
But when Kim tried to feel her heart, she didn't feel or hear it beating. As if they are numb to feelings and their hearts seem to be dead.
"You're wrong, Vincent —"
"Kim?"
"We're not like them, but we're dead blank in matters of the heart, because we can no longer feel any of the emotions we used to know" they were silenced upon hearing her saying those words. In this regain consciousness, their life is meaningless. They couldn't have their life back again without availing what they lack, that they still don't know.
And for this foreign world, they hope to find what they seek for. It is the only thing that could help them, and not just for them, but the people that have left. The lackness that they are seeking is the cure to the bloody world of seas of dead.
Next day....
