Ash-boss
Baras' strange attitude

As soon as the door closed without doing anything silly in front of the girl's uneasiness, Eren smiled calmly.

He walked down the date wide enough in the middle of the house that also looked so magnificent. The stairs did not rotate like the stairs in the palace-style house of his time. The house is only part of his room that is still in the style of an ancient room as old as the house he inhabits. The old Dutch-style house that is indeed an old house of colonial heritage at that time.

Once down the wide staircase, Laras was greeted by a painting that was part of Laras' memory. It was a place that was confined within a tree fence that towered up into the sky. On each side of the fence are thorny bushes with bright red flower buds. Deep in the painting cage, there are pictures of several souls that float like black, white, and gray.

Focusing on the painting, Laras begins to be shadowed with his memories disappearing and erased in the valley of tribulation. No one was aware of the change in attitude of Baras that day. Including Eren who thought that Laras' silence about the painting he saw was only because Laras had already realized the place in his mind.

"I've taken your uniform, after breakfast change your clothes." Eren greeted Laras who was still glued to the end of the stairs. Those eyes stared at each other. Eren did not suspect anything that morning. He was only focused on serving food that he had just finished cooking and then allowed Laras to sit in one of the chairs at the table.

The breakfast event was quiet with Laras silence all the time. After eating, Eren asks Laras to change his clothes and asks Laras to come down and meet him in the garage of the mansion.

"Are you really living alone in that old house?" ask Laras who avoids the freezing atmosphere. Although in his mind still wanted to question what things Laras had done last night so that they could fall asleep in one bed. Also why Laras ended up at the young man's house.

With the young man's residence, Laras again lingers in his mind about yesterday's forgotten day. Laras tried to remember what happened but there was only emptiness. Laras' last memory is when he cried in the middle of the night one year ago. The cry that led him to deep sorrow. But he did not know what kind of sadness was enveloping him.

Along the way, Eren shows another figure of himself in the mirror image of the car. Unlike the figure of Eren who pays close attention to how the condition of Laras, another figure Eren did the same. Each movement of the girl becomes a unique thing for her figure.

"What's bothering your mind?" muttered another figure Eren from behind the mirror image of the car.

Laras immediately looked. Inside his eyeballs, he was surprised to see another shadow of the young man on the windshield. Laras lowered his head, held tightly to his seatbelt and adjusted his breathing well. Laras who felt used to seeing such a figure just did not expect that the young man next to him would soon encounter harm or even the worst was to experience death.

"Stop!!" squealed Laras as soon as he saw the figure of a wrinkled old hand radiating out of the window of the car.

Baras screeches to make Eren stop the speed of his car on the main line of the residential street. Eren looked at Laras who was wailing in fear of something before him. The girl's gaze seemed unfocused but she tried to regulate her breathing well.

"What's wrong?" Eren asked softly.

Eren's voice reminded Laras of one memory he had yesterday. Just a faint glimpse of a young man with the same voice.

*Maybe I did something wrong?!* Inner Barrel. He convinced himself to once again look towards the side. Where Eren's figure looked at him in wonder.

"What are you thinking?" Eren seemed to be curious about the expression that Laras showed now. Ever since coming down from his room, Laras showed so much confusion. Sometimes his expression is serious, sometimes calm, sometimes frightened, sometimes tense, sometimes it seems so frustrating. Like the answer he got now from Laras, the girl just shook her head slowly and then looked back down.

"Nothing happened last night... Is that what's been taking your mind off since?" Eren smiled happily recalling the innocent expression Laras had shown a few hours ago before him.

"Yes.." answered Laras slowly.

And another shadow of Eren's figure gushed again in the glass of the car just as Laras turned his gaze towards the young man.

"I doubt your answer..." Eren bit the bottom of his lips, glanced at Laras then thought back to what happened when Laras fell into the valley of tribulation. "Are you okay?" Eren looked at the girl who was now staring blankly as if his mind was not on his body.

*What happened to you at that time. You seem to experience nothing at all.* inner Eren then accelerate the speed of his car once you see the school gate is close to the reach of his car.

As soon as the car was parked, Laras immediately got out of the car and was about to leave the figure of the young man who had been kind enough to help and deliver him to school.

"Roads, wait!" Eren rushes out of the car as soon as he realizes the action Laras takes once the car is parked neatly in the school parking lot.

Not getting any response, Eren who intended to pursue Laras, finally stopped his steps once Laras was blocked by Aksara and Zara who stared bitterly at him.

Eren leisurely walked up to the girl who was swept behind him in shock by the sudden appearance of two winged creatures that he was unable to recognize well.

*Have I entered the wrong school?!* the inner Laras is so aware of the many strange creatures that are in the school environment. Two creatures before the young man for example.

Now Eren stood beside Laras and stared at Aksara and Zara in opposition. Like two warring camps, the three exchanged glances and glanced at each other watching the slightest movement.

The doorbell rings. Baras tightened his bag strap and passed Aksara and Laras just like that without greeting or staring back at the two creatures.

Eren stared strangely. He paid close attention to the way Laras passed through Aksara and Zara, as if Laras pretended not to see the two.

On the other hand, Aksara and Zara felt the same way about the Laras' actions. They exchanged looks and questioned the same thing on the figure of Eren who was still fixated on the departure of Laras in front of the three of them.

"What happened to him?" Aksara and Zara asked Eren simultaneously.
