Among Us: Origin Story
Chapter 29: The Long Way

After Orange commits suicide, all of Crewmate decides to focus on Green. But in the end he had to exhale his last breath due to blood loss.

Before he died, Green handed Rugel over to Yellow. Although it seems strange to give a pet to the person who almost killed him, but actually Green still believes in Yellow.

Now all the Crewmates are gathered in the cafeteria. There was no conversation between them. Brown was also with them after wrapping Green and Purple's remains.

Yellow was crying sobbing. Rugel sat on the floor looking down miserably. The others also showed expressions of mourning.

"I want to go to the room" said Blue slowly and left the cafeteria.

Several Crewmates also stood up and went to their rooms, including Red. Black and White sat back to each other.

While walking, Red catches a strange gelagat from Cyan. The hallway to their bedroom was to the right, but Red found Cyan turning to the left.

Red was curious about Cyan, so he decided to follow him. Cyan continued walking without realizing that anyone was following him.

After arriving at a deserted place and some distance away from the Crewmates, Cyan stopped. Suddenly his body shook violently. Red who was hiding behind the wall felt a little uncomfortable.

Not long after, there was a sobbing and Cyan directly hit the wall. His body was increasingly trembling, along with his growing crying voice.

"Orange... Ugh," said Cyan sobbing.

Red surprised. He did not expect that Cyan was so devastated by Orange's departure. He actually wanted to approach Cyan to calm him down, but he was too scared so he just kept hiding.

A little while Cyan cried, slowly he calmed down a little. She wiped away the tears that washed her face.

"I know you're hiding in there, Red. Come outside!" Cyan's orders.

Cyan's words succeeded in making Red waver and misbehavior. He decided to come out of hiding because he knew, there was no point in running away from a Cyan.

Cyan looked towards Red. He looked at Red with his face and then he walked over to Red. Cyan's hand raised and landed on Red's head. Red's hair was messy.

"Don't tell anyone that" ban Cyan and walk to his room.

"You can trust me" Red replied firmly and walked to his room.

Meanwhile in the cafeteria, White and Black were still turning their backs on each other. No words came out of their mouths. Until Black finally made his voice.

"It feels like just yesterday I ate his cooking," Black said daydreaming.

"So that's all you think about?" Ask White.

"of course. When you lose someone, it's something he does that will make you miss him" Black replied.

"I've never felt the name of the loss, but the deaths of Purple, Green and Orange are sad enough for me" White said.

"All this would not have happened if we had been more careful back then" Black replied.

White looked over, "At that time? So you still defy orders from superiors?" White asked in disbelief.

"The honest answer is yes. Did you know that they were hiding something from us?" Ask Black.

"I expected that, but I won't oppose them" White replied.

"Humans have a right to reject something that doesn't suit them, you better stop being a puppet or things will get worse" Black said.

"What do you know? All this time you've been sitting at the computer" White commented.

"I'm a Comunicator and you're a Captain. You get experience and I get information. Right now you're facing a different situation than your previous missions. But the information I have can always make me predict what's going to happen next" Black said.

"My experience can let me know what to do right now, but what do you mean by information that can make you predict what's going to happen?" White asked and changed his position and now faced Black.

"How much information do you think I've been getting all this time?" Challenge Black.

White's eyeballs moved upwards, "Wait a minute, have you been tapping into any conversation that's been going through your computer?" White asked in disbelief. Black nodded.

"Eh no, I think I was wrong. I mean with the information I have and the experience yours, we can definitely end this" Black said.

"How is it?" White asked interested.

"The trick is we all have to unite. We all become like this because we have been divided and do not believe in each other anymore. It's our condition that Impostor uses to kill us all" Black explained.

"But it looks like it's going to be difficult" White commented.

"Indeed, but that's the time for us to act. Impostor wants to play with us, it's not wrong we come to play too, right?" Black asked for advice.

"So what's your plan?" Ask White.

"Faith? What does this have to do with your plan?" White did not accept.

"Of course it's interconnected. Do you remember that time in navigation? You said at the time that you believed me. But after what happened to Brown, your attitude immediately changed and you suspected me of being the culprit. Just so you know, White. I'm not a good person so I won't be quiet if treated like that" Black replied at length.

"Currently, you're blatantly saying that you're not a good person either" White commented cynically as she hung her chin on her hand.

"Of course, there are no really good people in this world. A good man will not say he is good. By the way, you better consider all of that because I'll be one step ahead of you in a moment" Black said and left the cafeteria.

Black walked into his room and sat in his chair. He rubbed his face with fatigue. Then he opened the desk drawer and took out some papers, photos of the Crewmates, and their personal data.

Black's eyes stared intently at the photos, "Who's next?"

Meanwhile elsewhere, Red lazily lay on his back in his bed. He felt so tired of everything that has happened lately. He had not expected his first mission to end like this.

"Why did all this happen?" Red muttered while covering his face.

Where did it all start? From when they found The Skeld 301? No, it started when he was transferred to Mira HQ. Somehow he felt sorry for accepting this mission. If only he knew this would happen, he would definitely refuse. But how else, the rice has become porridge. Regrets always come at the end.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Red wakes up lazily and presses the button next to the door to talk to the person outside.

"Who?" Ask Red.

"It's me" replied the person outside who turned out to be Black.

Red opens the door and lets Black in. Black immediately sat down on the chair, while Red lay back down.

"You're busy?" Black asked.

"No, what do you want?" Red asked back.

"I want to talk to you for a minute" Black replied.

"What do you want to say?" Red changed his position to sit.

"I want to know about your parents" Black replied plainly.

"Aren't you ever taught to ask permission first if you want to ask something like this?" Red asked with a frown.

"Never, why?" Black asked with a plain face.

"Because I'm an orphan and you don't think about the feelings of people like me" Red replied resentfully.

"I'm sorry then. But, can I know about your past?" Black is still trying.

"Why are you suddenly like this?" Red's confused.

"I want to know more about you" Black replied.

Red leaned back, "Yes already then," said Red resignedly. Black began to adopt an enthusiastic attitude.

"All right, I'll start. At that time I was found by a woman in front of the fence of her house. The woman took care of an orphanage, so she took me in and raised me in that orphanage. I lived in that orphanage until I got some money from my part-time job to stay in the boarding house. Even though I'm an astronaut now, I'll always visit them while on vacation" Red said, daydreaming.

"So, did that woman also give you a name?" Ask Black.

"Yes, he gave me the name "Red" according to my red hair and eyes" Red replied.

"Hmm, I see," Black muttered as he rubbed his chin.

Then Black stood up and walked to the door, "Thank you for your story Red," then he walked out of the room and went back to his room.

"He wanted me to tell my story, but not tell him either" Red protested in his heart.
