Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 129 - Introduction
...***...
The boy sat on his lap. Then there was his grandfather, grandmother, his father, and also his older brother named Samuel.
Among all the people sitting at the dinner table with him and having time to hug him, Rei just felt Stephanie's embrace was different from the others.
As Rei hugged the other members of his family, Rei felt his heart ache for no reason. Not with Stephanie.
After a brief introduction, they spent the afternoon eating together.

"Rei?" Stephanie called. Rei gasped in shock and spontaneously woke up from his sleep.
"I surprised you, didn't I? Excuse me. But if you want to take a nap, it's better to rest in your room. You're afraid that if you sleep here, you'll be distracted by children."
Rei got up and sat down on the sofa he now occupied. He was in the living room accompanied by his two nephews who played with Shella in front of the television. Meanwhile, Isyana chatted with the others in the side yard, near the pool connected to the park.
What was that? I saw Elvina in danger. Rei thought to himself, he remembered the dream approaching him. In his dream, he sees Elvina meeting a woman who can eliminate her form and try to capture her.
I have to help her. But, how is it? Rei racked his brain trying to figure out a way to warn Elvina that he was in trouble.
"Rei, what are you thinking?" Stephanie once again made him switch focus.
Wait for. Aye! I could try to tell him over telepathy, but there are too many people here. I won't be able to focus, after all, I'm not sure if this will work out either. I'd better move to a quieter place, the inner one.
"I'll go back to the room. I'm tired." Rei's awake.
"Well then rest, you must be tired, right?"
"Ng, then excuse me." Rei breezes in leaving Stephanie along with her two children and Shella. The woman just kept quiet and watched Rei keep stepping until his figure was lost on the stairs he passed.
Arriving inside his room, Rei immediately closed the door tightly. He approached the sofa bed. After that he immediately tried to connect with Elvina through his telepathic ability to tell her that he had a bad feeling about her.
Hope it works, he said in his heart. Rei closed his eyes, putting all his focus on the mind. He kept thinking about Elvina, calling her over and over again through his mind.
Elvina…

"I really want to get back to the office and go back to my room. It felt really uncomfortable sitting with the commanding officer like that, let alone he just kept looking at me. Damnit damnit! What did he see? Is there something on my face?" Elvina memonologist. He looked at his face through the mirror in front of him.
Elvina was in a toilet that was now empty and filled only by herself. Anxiety mixed with annoyance is really controlling him, just imagine when Elvina is eating. Leon continued to look at her almost without blinking, and Elvina had to rub her face repeatedly because she felt a little offended by her gaze.
After repeatedly looking at Leon, Elvina was finally able to be free of him for a moment. At least with the chef and the manager, it distracts him.
