"Grumble"66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO4Qv8A7p6
It was a rainy days with thunders, and it is not a peaceful night for me.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYP6h6kenW
In such a disturbing and noisy night, I always cover my ears with my head until I can fall asleep. I don't want to hear the thunder not only because I am afraid of itself, but there is also more than itself to be afraid. I want to have the quick sleep to avoid thinking about it, but I was wrong. As long as I have the thought, it follows me to the dream to reflect----My guilty.
“Grumble”66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsRx7ohhKb
Gramps is standing in front of me, saying nothing.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xYRByWiCW
I can't see his eyes as always, they are hidden by his eyebrows. It is nothing different from him, not showing anger or sad, just stand indifferently.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLze1ROH2Hg
I really feel sorry to Gramps, for killing him, after all, he raised me.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBupjP06y4
“I am sorry...Gramps” I apologized powerlessly to him.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMhhQWdgL2
“Grumble!” He cast the lightning artes to strike it on me.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvto0qljYJK
“eh....um.....I am sorry, really!”66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvld7rydQhV
He didn't answer, only cast more lightning and chasing after me, like the ghost.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1cmPLYOuS
“Please!! forgive me!! Gramps!”66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKWDbQ82In
“Gramps” shows no difference at all but chases like an avenger. I realize for his anger, he raised me up but I kill him, I am such a bad child.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK69fTrmyu
“Sorry.....sorry...sorry, I have no choice, please, forgive me” I still think there is no other possible choice for the better situation in that time, and it is not like that was a satisfying decision for me.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnwvWcFL4D
“Er....er.....sorry...sorry” The scene of apologies and lightning chase repeated infinitely.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZfaT3hn0e

At the rainy midnight, murmuring sound from the next door woke a light sleeper such as me. This is abnormal, so I go check for its sources.
I found the source is from Sorey's room, and the door isn't locked.
I slowly open the door of the room next to me which is Sorey's room, while making sure that the smallest creak sound I would make.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkc2KInmbG
“er.....so...sorry...sorry, Gramps....” words leaked out from his half-opened month in crying like murmuring.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbWU783wLk
I see Sorey is sleeping with the posture of hugging his head and curling up his body, the fetal position. Laphicet had slept like this when he felt uneasy too, that days, Laphi stated his fear of death. I promised not to let it happens when I didn't want it and I rather believe a better future.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0lCC6l70e
That time, I embraced him tightly to calm him, just like this situation.
By the time I back to myself, I already embraced Sorey tightly. Maybe it is because he made me thinking of my little brother, full of curiosity to the world, and love books. However, Sorey has lofty eyes sometimes, like looking to the world itself rather just watching where he is. He has eyes with purity and unwavering will, just like the Shepherd vision, I will not be surprised if he is a Shepherd. He is certainly a different type of person to me, he would hate me if he knows who I am and what I did, it is inconvenient, for now.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wvduan0SS
Although he is clumsy sometimes, he will try to fix it, never afraid of difficulty. I wonder what things worrying him to make him murmuring. I somehow want to fix this, it is not a good idea to wake others. However, I have no clue of what to do when someone similar to my age comes to cry, so I try the same technique that used to comfort my little brother.
“Grumble” A lightning strikes with a thunder.
“u...ahhhhhhhh.....” He cried painfully like receiving a serious attack and he was shaking.
I wonder if he is afraid of the thunder.
“Sorey!” I can't help but hug more tightly while calling his names to change his attention to the nightmare, but he is not waking.
“GRUMBLE!!”Then another lightning strikes with a larger thunder.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6Jlgt9pCP
“Gramps!Gramps! I...I...don't want to do that.....I... really...such thing...I...Sorry!!” Sorey continued apologizing to someone while shaking his body more greatly.
It is not only related to the thunder, but it reminded him of someone he felt guilty with.
“It is ok, you will be fine! Calm down, Sorey!” I held him more tightly. Repeating those words, I tried and managed to calm him, his breath becomes more stable finally.
“Great” I relieved, the duration was short but felt long, I almost think he is not going to wake. It was not really my business, but I just feel uncomfortable to leave him alone.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYCRDGL3iR
“...Vel..vet?” He woke with tears.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLqZiKNkTQ
The night returned peacefully and unwittingly, things are turning good.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2HHKKtt8v

Sorey pov
I woke and regained consciousness, no more Gramps and Grumble, but a vigorous heartbeat.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx0asvppvB
Next thing I know, I'm embraced by Velvet.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXNV2WDRqZ
It is a thing I unexpected from her.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP1LpPYynl
“...Vel..vet?”66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4TZs8ccQL
“...Finally awake, huh?” She released me while asked.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5lLuwMGUS
“...Yeah.” fully came out of my trance, I noticed that my eyes filled with tears. I wiped out my tears and sit up in bed.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nZ5HYy5J9
“What happened?” She asked concernedly.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X2QlmvMGV
“I...have a nightmare, dreaming about the one who raise me.” I answered truly.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEpRr9xape
“Did he do something?” She asked it in a statement tone, surely it is that obvious to see.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPdZZpprvu
“He summoned thunders while chasing me.......” I answered without notice of the unnatural ability to normal human I stated.
“......Did you do something?”66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuQtNQNaQA
“.....I.....killed him by my hand long ago.” I hesitated to answer, whether I should tell her about this, given that we both barely know each other.
Stills, I explained the story without mentioning Shepherd and Lord of Calamity. I think she may be a good listener, what’s more, I just want to talk this out. I explained how he was important to me and how I didn't want to kill him. The situation just didn't allow me to refuse, Gramps could not be saved from Heldalf. Before Gramps's disappearance, he had shown his gratitude to Mikleo and me, said, we both good children and he was glad to see our growth.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13f4CKJVI7
It is no way I can accept it like this, but I had no choice but to accept it in that time.
“.........To praise the kid who kill himself, that's cruel.” Velvet coldly commented.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLGaOPujre
“No, it is not, Gramps never...” I tried to defend Gramps.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZEGQpYGKj
“Yes, I know, since he is the one who raised you. He must love you. Then, the final words must be his sincere words, to praise, to acknowledge, to comfort his child. However, your sadness is not wrong too.” Velvet stopped me and say unexpected words.
“...Not wrong?”66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CNlsg6nxs
“Yeah,....to lose a family, an important person, it must be a great sadness. I had been sad too when my sister died. It is a normal thing for a human to have emotion for a moment that they lose the important person.”66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ALnM1ycaY
“......” The last thing I expect is that she would sympathize with me and mention her unpleasant past.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHArG0deWsr
“And the world is not so tender to let you make the right or satisfying choice. Don't know the exact time, but you will have to remember the things and forget the sorrow. Your gramps would not want to see you sucked in the sadness.” The words just make her more like a sister.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbWd0K1V3B
“Velvet....Thank you, it is great to know you.”66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhhQUQaM20
“Sorey....I suppose to say that to you. After all, you saved me.”66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVQh10HjKM
“That's is not a big due and I am truly glad to meet you.”66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwtWF54i1U
“Whatever...I just say something I want to say.”
“Why are you in my room?”66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntozyagek7
“Ask at this moment? Well, I am woken from some noisy murmuring.” She teased.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkvr98v5bG
“Sorry….”66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4vIowKpvm
“No, you don't have to apologize, I am a light sleeper, I had nightmare too.”
“What kind of nightmare?”
“........Can't remember it. It is not a big due.”66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pFIrCrtEL
“...if you say so.” If she really forgets, she will not know herself had the nightmare. Guess that she is not ready to tell them to me. After all we still nearly strangers.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSNmbTbOk8
Then Velvet back in her room and closed her door.66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICL741XFqT
Surely this a shocking incident to me. She shew empathy to me and didn’t comment on my killing. I am surprised she has a soft side and she cares about the surrounding. She never shows herself much in daily life, she keeps being indifferent and less interactive to others. This is the first time, I feel to come closer with Velvet, got to know her other side apart from the Lord of Calamity. Maybe it is not too hard to be friend with her and maybe I will talk more to her after tonight.
Since that night, I tried to talk more about myself to Velvet, the things about my journey, my hometown, with the least related to Seraphim and Shepherd stuffs.
