"Grumble"16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaHJLGbtxG
It was a rainy days with thunders, and it is not a peaceful night for me.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR0yIpIyG3
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”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdkOQGF3tn
Gramps is standing in front of me, saying nothing.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZdM7cgCi8
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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq56w8pXvij
I really feel sorry to Gramps, for killing him, after all, he raised me.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gpKIsXTAV
“I am sorry...Gramps” I apologized powerlessly to him.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzsA5yenWm
“Grumble!” He cast the lightning artes to strike it on me.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1a3Y2EdyG
“eh....um.....I am sorry, really!”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRlhI1zcaJ
He didn't answer, only cast more lightning and chasing after me, like the ghost.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV1k8Kjjwo
“Please!! forgive me!! Gramps!”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxDxPyxs6D
“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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigiUd3ppJ5
“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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMi2dziFxS
“Er....er.....sorry...sorry” The scene of apologies and lightning chase repeated infinitely.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AH04d3XLO

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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gQy5U6vQ6
“er.....so...sorry...sorry, Gramps....” words leaked out from his half-opened month in crying like murmuring.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslhhxJaP2I
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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kRyezWXhN
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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4udTbV6H1C
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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguE3FpbWDz
“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.

“...Vel..vet?” He woke with tears.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDtvGHYGtv
The night returned peacefully and unwittingly, things are turning good.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJjvAmISxz

Sorey pov
I woke and regained consciousness, no more Gramps and Grumble, but a vigorous heartbeat.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtyt4f4ey9
Next thing I know, I'm embraced by Velvet.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R2BRUUJni
It is a thing I unexpected from her.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCWys6chPL
“...Vel..vet?”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKz5iSv73p
“...Finally awake, huh?” She released me while asked.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPm9zkMlnL
“...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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMlQ8GZFjS
“What happened?” She asked concernedly.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQuhI9leCe
“I...have a nightmare, dreaming about the one who raise me.” I answered truly.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPbfyFs2bV
“Did he do something?” She asked it in a statement tone, surely it is that obvious to see.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe0VG8CPpN
“He summoned thunders while chasing me.......” I answered without notice of the unnatural ability to normal human I stated.
“......Did you do something?”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ2j22eLC2
“.....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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHn7JaPGi7
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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO5bZXudwr
“No, it is not, Gramps never...” I tried to defend Gramps.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7LmacFEHN
“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?”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xs7FcIBZl
“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.”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmCRu3H9xx
“......” The last thing I expect is that she would sympathize with me and mention her unpleasant past.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMHHZV3vXz
“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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZA4EC2VeR
“Velvet....Thank you, it is great to know you.”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSy4CFnE3y
“Sorey....I suppose to say that to you. After all, you saved me.”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOau4vfMSFV
“That's is not a big due and I am truly glad to meet you.”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHykcoHzSNB
“Whatever...I just say something I want to say.”
“Why are you in my room?”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepYhWTTmj1
“Ask at this moment? Well, I am woken from some noisy murmuring.” She teased.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt0DnNkpT0
“Sorry….”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgViicLKQoF
“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.”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhC2k0p8Bt
“...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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u18pBmaBd
Then Velvet back in her room and closed her door.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JHuAsxN11
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.
