"Grumble"17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JO6PxsD9y
It was a rainy days with thunders, and it is not a peaceful night for me.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOHBZUskT3
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”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX2wy2bqfv
Gramps is standing in front of me, saying nothing.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oX8gPQfJm
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.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8otfgh0oSJ
I really feel sorry to Gramps, for killing him, after all, he raised me.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLerFIZ2ks
“I am sorry...Gramps” I apologized powerlessly to him.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlGTC4u0e8
“Grumble!” He cast the lightning artes to strike it on me.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALi2i8K5fm
“eh....um.....I am sorry, really!”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXA9Ew5BCb
He didn't answer, only cast more lightning and chasing after me, like the ghost.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJhwX040fZ
“Please!! forgive me!! Gramps!”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj18FCP9sa5
“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.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKL2kWwA6s
“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.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtRviWkPre
“Er....er.....sorry...sorry” The scene of apologies and lightning chase repeated infinitely.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx3AaCz6ij

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.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JZMNZRovt
“er.....so...sorry...sorry, Gramps....” words leaked out from his half-opened month in crying like murmuring.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LGdgEMYYk
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.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT2LmEb2GB
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.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuViQqk5W6
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.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMqp4zSIMp
“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.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6FqJ1dfQR
“...Vel..vet?” He woke with tears.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPA9xyiXUg
The night returned peacefully and unwittingly, things are turning good.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xKCN7PjGJ

Sorey pov
I woke and regained consciousness, no more Gramps and Grumble, but a vigorous heartbeat.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1CfTBXVix
Next thing I know, I'm embraced by Velvet.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8neZOHZBw
It is a thing I unexpected from her.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmAcekWGjK
“...Vel..vet?”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlxUwTuG2j
“...Finally awake, huh?” She released me while asked.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJPhaWZjAc
“...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.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyBbYweB3u
“What happened?” She asked concernedly.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVOrmsNDxr
“I...have a nightmare, dreaming about the one who raise me.” I answered truly.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKrVPirDg6
“Did he do something?” She asked it in a statement tone, surely it is that obvious to see.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9twey16WZ6
“He summoned thunders while chasing me.......” I answered without notice of the unnatural ability to normal human I stated.
“......Did you do something?”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxhDdCMl9p
“.....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.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQZs7SuhmF
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.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3qlvSkW97
“No, it is not, Gramps never...” I tried to defend Gramps.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp2NE5If7n
“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?”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5ZNsETb3R
“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.”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmH4OFOt97
“......” The last thing I expect is that she would sympathize with me and mention her unpleasant past.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUtVnKTRBe
“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.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsynibwQVB4
“Velvet....Thank you, it is great to know you.”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvhiPq6mNK
“Sorey....I suppose to say that to you. After all, you saved me.”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVSMMJMkZb
“That's is not a big due and I am truly glad to meet you.”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A5mC2AvmR
“Whatever...I just say something I want to say.”
“Why are you in my room?”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tAZbSiwcB
“Ask at this moment? Well, I am woken from some noisy murmuring.” She teased.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1Nfrc9Lpr
“Sorry….”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TVsn0Cq3l
“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.”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRpU2m2tB9
“...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.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FXgbnfM70
Then Velvet back in her room and closed her door.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr59FYFTuJj
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.
