"Grumble"127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG1PYPFgok
It was a rainy days with thunders, and it is not a peaceful night for me.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS2bY8sWEK
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”127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iO6WZtg6s
Gramps is standing in front of me, saying nothing.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMba1e8P81
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56OYOEvK5R
I really feel sorry to Gramps, for killing him, after all, he raised me.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBUiu7WOgB
“I am sorry...Gramps” I apologized powerlessly to him.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw1AogMYcq
“Grumble!” He cast the lightning artes to strike it on me.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZMSKKDoag
“eh....um.....I am sorry, really!”127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffhIs2fKwe
He didn't answer, only cast more lightning and chasing after me, like the ghost.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3JIgYvbzd
“Please!! forgive me!! Gramps!”127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzf6gUM3Gc
“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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXkQRl3CNd
“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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrAVOJxFAy
“Er....er.....sorry...sorry” The scene of apologies and lightning chase repeated infinitely.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMXk9XCPzQ

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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HymBPv3dA
“er.....so...sorry...sorry, Gramps....” words leaked out from his half-opened month in crying like murmuring.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwolQnQLi8N
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rcN258290
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ12aElHUO
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxyuIfaC6f
“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.
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyGDp6IxB9
“...Vel..vet?” He woke with tears.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKkaeYbDLq
The night returned peacefully and unwittingly, things are turning good.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeqsG45uYN

Sorey pov
I woke and regained consciousness, no more Gramps and Grumble, but a vigorous heartbeat.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr7zyQLAOF
Next thing I know, I'm embraced by Velvet.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vkYs0aHrz
It is a thing I unexpected from her.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMokFAN2gDU
“...Vel..vet?”127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbql7MxDyTP
“...Finally awake, huh?” She released me while asked.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjyiAhhueE
“...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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE8piQHQ4X
“What happened?” She asked concernedly.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdQaW8q6ku
“I...have a nightmare, dreaming about the one who raise me.” I answered truly.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy9STdBrOO
“Did he do something?” She asked it in a statement tone, surely it is that obvious to see.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJr0fSHJSH
“He summoned thunders while chasing me.......” I answered without notice of the unnatural ability to normal human I stated.
“......Did you do something?”127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfQt60T2Gt
“.....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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX2PvA1gyR
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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuACra51RPW
“No, it is not, Gramps never...” I tried to defend Gramps.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbssZvzpmH
“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?”127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLMM8yAsn2
“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.”127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMxaT8isiG
“......” The last thing I expect is that she would sympathize with me and mention her unpleasant past.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hJ7tOGfh0
“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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuPXiT5xuz
“Velvet....Thank you, it is great to know you.”127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCjAgX6Ia6
“Sorey....I suppose to say that to you. After all, you saved me.”127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofx2MBBA0K
“That's is not a big due and I am truly glad to meet you.”127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10kwFIssrk
“Whatever...I just say something I want to say.”
“Why are you in my room?”127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8BSohD1QC
“Ask at this moment? Well, I am woken from some noisy murmuring.” She teased.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZnadBWNSd
“Sorry….”127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCsD2mEtBk
“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.”127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1Ym5S3ozO
“...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.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1mHMBXBlP
Then Velvet back in her room and closed her door.127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLWLS3mLzi
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.
