Coral did not know if there were a pair of eyes watching him. Rize sees Coral's sadness and disappointment at knowing who he really is.
Rize wanted to say if this wasn't what she wanted. He even wanted to tightly hug the girl, but his intention was that he could bear it. Rize will try to make Coral believe that he is not a vampire and that what he sees is just his nightmare.
Rize will wait for tomorrow when she enters school, she will pick up Coral and as if there is nothing.
A few hours Coral locked himself in his room. He then remembered Zio. So, he decided to go to Zio's house only. He also wants to tell Zio this and hopefully Zio believes in what he has to say.
"Coral went downstairs and did not find her mother and step-sister there. Coral chose to go and he would walk to Zio's house not too far from his house even though he would still be exhausted. However, still mending than he walked to school.
"Coral, where are you going?" greet the plant shopkeeper girl that Coral used to come to often.
"I'm going to Zio's house."
"I happen to want to go there, too. I just found out that Zio's grandmother died and I went there to say my condolences because I also know Zio's grandmother. He used to buy plants at my place."
Eventually Coral left with the girl on her bike. For some reason Coral felt followed by someone behind him, but when Coral looked there was no one there.
"Why don't you ever go to my shop again, Coral?"
"That's, I-I don't have a garden anymore," Coral's voice swallowed.
"Well, why your garden? Did the whole plant wither and die?"
Coral nodded a few times, she couldn't possibly say if her garden was damaged by her mother and stepbrother.
"Why did you let it wither even to death? I know you're diligent in buying fertilizer and medicine to take care of your crops?"
"I was a few days busy with school, so I forgot. It's already! It's best not to talk about it because I would be sad to remember."
They arrived and the sweet girl gave Coral her favorite candy.
"This is for me?"
"Yes, that's the candy you've always liked. I give it to you so you won't be sad anymore."
Coral smiled and once again thanked me a lot. They enter the house and meet Zio and Hena's sister.
For a few minutes they talked, the shopkeeper who sold the lips of the plant was allowed to go home and Coral said that he would go home later with Zio.
"So Hena, can I go to the room with Coral?" ask Zio.
"Of course you can, you guys talk and I'll take care of everything else."
Zio invited Coral into his room. Zio sat down with a picture of his grandmother. "It feels like grandma's still with me, Coral.".
"Of course grandma's still here and looking at us. He'll be happy if you're strong and not sad anymore."
"Yes, I'm sorry if I'm too much of a woman, but Grandma was the source of my strength all along."
"Not Grandma, but you yourself are the source of your strength. We're brave or afraid because we made it ourselves."
"Where do you know such words?"
"From Rize." Coral immediately closed his mouth quickly.
