Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 125 - Shella's
...***...
Idiotically. Why did I forget to bring my bag? If only I hadn't forgotten, I wouldn't have been stuck in a position like this. Had to eat with this warden, plus he's been watching me ever since. Really disturbing, Inner Elvina. The food they ordered just arrived. Elvina was enjoying the food. But instead of feeling delicious, Elvina actually felt uncomfortable because Leon continued to look at her sharply.
Elvina glanced at Leon through the end of her lashes. The man who became his superior was sitting with his chin supported, his food in front of him had not even been touched at all and the focus of his eyes was on him.
Elvina cleared her throat to break the silence that had enveloped their togetherness. He grabbed his drinking glass and gulped it down to the remaining three quarters.
"Why don't you eat? Didn't you say you were hungry?"
"uh? Did you say something?" Leon woke up from his daydream.
Jesus, since he was daydreaming apparently. Elvina shook her head slowly. "I said didn't you come here to eat? Why do you shut up and keep staring at me like that?"
"Seeing you eat alone makes me full" whispered Leon.
"I'm sorry?" Elvina did not hear her voice that was too slow as a whisper.
"No. You just continue eating." Leon grabbed his spoon and fork. He began to fill himself with food.
Elvina pressed her shoulders, trying not to turn on her words earlier. Elvina turned to her meal.
You were really sweet when you were eating, thought Leon who glanced back at Elvina.

"Sir Rei?" muttered.
There, near the dining table connected to the living room. Rei had just come down from his room and was about to sit down for lunch together.
His attenuation shifted when he heard the voice of a small child stepping into his house.
Rei turned his head, looking at the SD child who was now still glued to his place.
Rei frowned. Feeling that he had seen the girl, Rei tried to trace her memory and he only remembered where he had seen her. The child is the child in the family photo displayed in the living room.
The girl who seemed to be his sister, because she was the smallest and youngest in the photo he had seen.
"Sir Rei!" The boy ran over to Rei and hugged his body.
Rei was still glued. Again the sting returned he felt every time he touched for the first time with people who knew him. This time, he felt a similar sensation when Isyana hugged him. There was a sudden pain in her heart.
"Where have you been all this time? I really miss my sister, why did you leave so long? Please don't go again." The girl hugged him tighter and tighter while crying.
Rei fell silent. He looked confused as to how, moreover Rei still could not remember anything about him.
"Shella, are you home, baby?" Isyana's voice caught the attention of the two. The woman now walked down the stairs, approaching them.
"Mama.." Shella looked at Isyana with tears welling up her cheeks. "When did Brother Rei come home? Why is Rei silent? Does he miss me?"
