Ash-boss
Time game

At night, Laras could not sleep peacefully. Many things that make Laras continue to awake in a closed eye state. Sometimes Baras was scared. Sometimes he felt heat all over his body. Sometimes he looks so cold. The body was also seen writhing uneasily, sweat sometimes pouring from his forehead, tears flowing from the tip of his eyes, and his hands were occasionally seen squeezing the blanket he used.

"What is your body going through now?"

Eren's other figure in the corner of the room continued to notice how Laras went through his second night after falling in the midst of misery. His figure also felt a strange thing with the existence of the grandfather and grandmother Laras who should have died eight months ago in this house.

While watching Laras in the dark of the night, another Eren figure was trying to find out the irregularities that occurred. Something really stuck with his mind. Especially with the sudden appearance of Aksara and Zara in the house of the girl who is now delirious is unclear.

The concentration of another figure Eren split. On the one hand, he wanted to appease Laras, and on the other he intended to question the existence of Laras's grandparents in this world in the Aksara and Zara.

"No! I don't want to! Don't do that!" Laras was getting delirious with indistinctness. This time his body again shrunk, making another figure Eren immediately approached and try to calm Laras by rubbing the forehead of the girl who was still disturbed in her sleep.

"Calm down." said another Eren figure who returned to his true form as Eren.

He continued to rub the girl's head to dispel her anxiety. Bringing the girl in a state that was beginning to calm down, Eren finally prefers to focus on the girl rather than break the time game that occurs around her and ignore the existence of two other creatures that come and go several times in the house of Laras.

The night clouds are speeding up. The wind blew slowly and then quickly several times. Making time around walking erratically.

Again, Eren this time laid himself beside Laras. They fall asleep together in one bed. The difference is only in the size of the bed they now occupy is much smaller than the bed at the young man's house.

Eren continued to look at the girl before him who was already calm in his sleep. Gently stroked the girl's head while smiling because she loved the calmness that the girl was showing now.

His eyes would be closed when Laras held the hand over his head.

Barrel clingukan. Little thought he was dreaming, Laras slapped the young man next to him.

"Sickness." said the young man holding Laras' hand on his cheek.

He got the same response as the response Laras in the morning when he found that they were sleeping in the same bed.

"Your sleeping habits are really bad huh!" eren said again who was half sleepy.

"Are you real?" Baras still had no power to release his hand from the grasp of the young man's hand on his cheek. The hand was pulled even, Laras still could not let go.

"Yes! It's reality!" answer lazy Eren. His eyes looked half-sweet at the figure of the girl who was now showing disbelief and hoping that what she was going through was just a dream.

"I won't do anything like you think."

Same words as this morning. This time it sounded a little more sincere. And that means, that sentence is not a sentence of comfort but reassuring that Eren will not do anything.

What was it that I was thinking?" Laras frowned.

Wait???? What am I thinking about?

The barrel pushed the young man's body so far that the young man fell from the top of the bed which was small in size for both of them to be able to fall asleep in the same bed.

Laras immediately sat up from his sleeping position and looked at the young man on his lower floor with an annoyed look mixed in confusion. Upset because the young man had stolen the opportunity by repeating things that made Laras quite confused by the feelings he had to the young man.

"What kind of creature are you!!!" Barrels vaporized his stifled emotions. But it is not an emotion caused by an anger at the impudent attitude of the young man, but an overflow of emotions that signify familiarity between the two. The gaze clashed, making Laras quiet for a moment.

The wind drove slowly behind the outside of the room, the sound of friction of tree branches and leaves colliding with each other due to the gust of wind, making the silence really felt from inside the girl's room.

The sound of twig friction to the other time, making Laras ears again ringing. The shadow of vague memory returned to tease and made Laras feel pain in his head. He held the left side of the head and occasionally beat it slowly.

Eren. "What's wrong?" asked Eren who, despite realizing that the girl was in unbearable pain.

Eren got up from his seat, walked over and approached the figure of Laras holding the head with his two hands. Pull and bring the girl's body into his arms.

They teleport. Laras and another figure Eren had just set foot on the outer side of the dark valley, the gray valley. Where the valley is now tightly closed and without a gap of light. Nothing can break through it at all. Even the light lock belonging to another Eren figure could no longer open the valley.

"What really happened?!"

Another figure Eren while holding Laras who was unconscious, continued to remain silent in front of the gate that soared up into the sky. He saw that little by little the blackish thorny shrub from the upper end had slowly shrunk before him.

"What time do I have to wait?!"

Another figure Eren finally carried Laras and intended to return to the girl's room. But undo that intention. Another figure Eren remembers there is a place where if passed will give healing to the pain or wound that every creature like him has.

Another figure of Eren set foot on the red brick walkway. In the silence of the atmosphere on the street, another Eren figure carried Laras through the place while holding the girl.

Another figure Eren did not realize in the slightest, once on the path of the red brick, another figure Laras was the one he was carrying. The figure of a long-haired woman decomposed with a red rope containing small silver bells decorated on her hair. Wearing a maroon-red robe and showing a dark, ash-colored puff of smoke that resembles a wing on its back.

One step after another taken, the other figure of Laras gradually disappeared. One by one the body parts of Laras back into himself who at the beginning carried another figure Eren. It was Laras with a pink hoodie and light blue white striped training on the side.

Barrel opened his eyes, he realized his body was floating and vaguely looked at the scene before him indistinctly. The hand rubbed his eyes and so completely convinced his gaze, Laras was gobsmacked.

Eren's other figure returned to his true form. Stopped his footsteps at the end of another valley which he rarely visited.

It was the end of another red brick path. At the end of the road there is a valley with a view that is very pampering to the eye.

Eren took down Laras from his sling. Letting the girl enjoy the sight before her.

"What is this place?" ask Laras.

In Eren's mind, Laras was already aware of who he was and at least he didn't forget the red brick path they had passed.

"Am I dead and able to live in a place as beautiful as this?" The barrel notices every corner of the place so soothing. He breathed in the air with the thought of possibly dying from an unbearable headache and Eren's other figure was his death picker.

"Didn't you remember this street at all?" Eren flipped the rough body of Laras to face towards him.

In the black eyeball Laras, Eren saw what Laras experienced in the valley of tribulation. How pieces of memory Laras was swept away into ashes. Except for one memory of her figure of herself at the beginning of their meeting.
