Chapter 3 - Unsolved Mystery

"It was quite a long time since that day."

"I guess things are getting better…"

Thorn is introduced as the new exchange student and the new member of Room 701 who had gone missing that night. He befriended with Legoshi, Jack, Voss, Collot and Durham - New friends at Room 701. Thorn after many supports, was able to overcome his emotions and move on.

Back to current, it's now night time. Collot and Jack were seen chilling in Room 701.

Suddenly, Jack's phone rings.

"Is that your phone?"

Collot asked.

Jack picks up the phone. It was Legoshi, who is calling.

"Hello? Legoshi?"

Legoshi only replies with breathing sounds.

Jack explains.

"He only breath with his nose when he got a flu."

Jack also hears a familiar sound.

"He looks out of the window and realized something bad had happend."

Jack rush to seek out for Legoshi.

Few hours ago.

Thorn is currently reading a book in school's library, he still had anti-social so Thorn decided read it outside.

"What a fresh air is it. Alright.. tomorrow, I will.. try my best to attach friendship to Legoshi, he is a fellow wolf, like me."

"It's already night and I haven't been home… I shouldn't be outside too long again."

What Thorn referring "home" to was Room 701.

While walking Thorn sees Legoshi, who is currently sitting infront of a house. Curiously and thinking of what earlier, Thorn decided to approach and ask what Legoshi was doing. Thorn is currently behind the wall trying to calm by talking to himself.

"I can do this, he is a wolf.. just like me…There wouldn't be any issues…"

Thorn turns back to shout Legoshi but something is odd.

"Legoshi-"

"Huh..? Where is he…? I thought he was sitting over there..?"

Thorn sniffs out and smells blood.

"Wait.. blood!??? What on earth is happening?? I need to see what's going on inside that room."

Thorn sees a line of blood drops on the way to the dark room. He stepped in quietly and saw Legoshi, who is currently covered in blood, and tied up.

"Legoshi…? HEY! Legoshi! Wake up! Are you okay!?? Do you hear me!? Legoshi.. please answer me!!"

Thorn tries to wake up Legoshi but didn't get any answers. Suddenly Thorn feels a figure standing behind of him, couldn't reacted in time. 

"Legosh… huh..? Who is there-"

Thorn was unexpectedly knocked out meters away, coughing blood. Thorn was still able to move even though his head is covered in blood. He lost his glasses from the hit and couldn't see anything.

"I can't hear or see anything…! My head is about to blow up! It's too blurry..! I.. I need to find my glasses… It's hurt too much… I need to stay awake…"

The big figure approached near the injured black wolf.

"So you are a friend of Legoshi. I see, unfortunately since you are here, I will kill and devour both of you."

Thorn couldn't hear clearly. He tries to run but the figure catched him then threw him outside knocking Thorn down under the tree.

Meanwhile, Legoshi is now awake from the sudden attack, he tried to process everything that is happening. Legoshi shout.

"You… You are the one who killed Tem."

Legoshi got knocked to the wall.

"Is this like a warning? To tell me not to search for evidence anymore?"

"I guess you don't like to flex your arm strength that much.."

Legoshi remembers his time with Tem. And then, unexpectedly Legoshi grabs the figure by his mouth, trying to get as much evidence as he can.

The figure knocked Legoshi down then run into the darkness.

Legoshi calls for Jack sending him the breathing signals and Jack arrived in time, untied Legoshi and ask him many quesitons.

"Please don't die on me… Legoshi!"

"Who did this to you!!??"

Legoshi replies.

"Who knows.."

"But I'm.. okay now."

While talking, Legoshi and Jack saw Thorn, who is laying down the tree, his body was covered in blood, his glasses were shattered.

"Is that.. Thorn!?"

Both rush out to Thorn. Luckily Thorn still had conciousness from the injuries.

After sometime recovered, Legoshi and Jack had a conversation. Jack said.

"You and Thorn should go to the hospital..!"

Legoshi replies.

"Don't worry about me, I'm okay, you should take care of Thorn instead. If I stays here any longer, I would get killed."

After that, Legoshi rush and jump through the fences. Jack couldn't stop him, he sobbed seeking for Thorn but couldn't see him anywhere.

"Thorn..? Where are you? He was here earlier!?"

Meanwhile, Thorn, who is still suffered from injuries, trying to chase Legoshi, calling out his name. He has many questions for Legoshi.

"Le.. Legoshi!"

"Come.. Come back! Legoshi!"

The rain prevented Legoshi from hearing Thorn. He still running forward.
