Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 316 - Cards
...***...
Louis raised his right hand. All three fingers are folded leaving the middle finger and index finger.
Rei looked at Louis with a puzzled look on his face, not knowing what the man was going to do. But next, Rei saw a card appear between the gap of his index finger and middle finger.
Rei frowned confusedly. "What are you gonna do?" ask Rei.
Louis looked at his master closely, his eyes glittering under the dim light of the night light.
"Actually I don't want to do this to sir. But, this is only the only way for you to punish them."
"What do you mean?"
Louis approached Rei, holding onto Rei's shoulder and twisting his body until their bodies faced each other.
Rei still did not understand what he was going to do. Next Louis brought his face closer to Rei, sticking his forehead which was now attached to a card that slipped on his finger.
Louis closed his eyes, while Rei was still staring at Louis with a confused look.
Not long after, his head hurt. Rei closed both his eyes and various scenes started popping up filled his mind.

Jakarta, Indonesia, three years ago.
2016
The first week after the official seventh grade they went through with an introduction between the students and all the teachers who will later teach in their class, then a little adjustment between the teacher and the students.
This week is the second week after he officially became an Junior High student.
At seven o'clock in the morning, as usual he left with Marcell. Their closeness since SD is never in doubt, some people who just know them often even mistakenly think of them as brothers because they are often together and never separated.
Just imagine, since entering the world of school. Precisely when Rei finally officially entered kindergarten, Marcell was supposed to finish his kindergarten. He decided to stay another year because he knew Rei was coming in that year.
Their togetherness in kindergarten continues until Elementary, they are placed in the same class.
Each class is always divided into two classes separated by classes A and B.
During their six years in Elementary, they were in Class B, sitting always at the same table in front of them.
Sometimes Rei didn't understand why he never got tired of sitting with her for six years.
But after entering Junior High, they finally decided to sit at a different table.
Rei who had just arrived in his classroom instantly remembered that he had not borrowed a package book for each lesson today.
As soon as he arrived at the same class, he put down his bag and moved out of place.
"Marcell, I forgot something. Have you visited the library to pick up the package book for today's lesson?" Rei approached the man.
"uh? No, I haven't." either."
"Then, let's go to the library together."
"Come on." Marcell got up from his place, he stepped out with Rei towards the library room.
Unfortunately the library has not opened because the librarian has not arrived.
