"Ah, you have finally arrived as well" Rei said as soon as he found Dean who had just come down from upstairs and joined them downstairs.
"Let's sit down and eat" said Elvina, who sat near Rei.
"Yes" Dean said slowly. He walked up to an empty chair near Nero and sat on it.
"Well, since everything is gathered, let's eat" said Rei, who then grabbed their spoons and forks. His head began to busy with the dishes that had been presented in front of them. Eating each other's food. Not a single word was thrown from their lips, only the clinking sound of clashing spoons and forks that they could hear adorning their dining tables.
Dean had been thinking about the dream he had been living. He is still trying to find out what really happened to him, why he could forget the contents of his dreams and so on. All those questions kept spinning in his brain.
"After this what will you do Rei?" Asked Nero who instantly broke the silence that morning. Those who had just finished enjoying their breakfast then turned to look towards Nero who was now looking at Rei.
"Me, El, and Will will be looking for new plans and thinking of new strategies in order to find their new route. Today maybe we won't go out and we'll spend some time in our room."
"O-oh so it looks."
"Yes. And while we think of ways to find new routes, you can do anything. As long as you remember, don't get out of this house! Okay?"
"alright. We understand."
"Then have fun." Rei gulped down his drinking water.
"Yes, you guys are safe working." Nero, Vicenzo, Taz, and Marko moved out of their seats. Marko's steps came to a halt when he suddenly realized that Dean was still silent in his place.
"Dean?" Call her.
"Yes? What's up?" Dean looked at him with a surprised look.
"You okay? Why are you daydreaming?"
"A-ah? No. gabe. I'm not daydreaming" Dean said.
"Then let's go," Marko grabbed onto his shoulder and led Dean to leave from there leaving Rei, Elvina and William all three inside the dining room.
"Why do I feel like there's been something weird about Dean since then" William commented.
"Yes, I also feel something is wrong with her" said Elvina who then cleaned her dirty dishes. Stacking it into one, he then led her to the sink in the kitchen to wash her. While both are busy cleaning up, it is different with Rei who is now silent while looking at Dean who is walking further and further from where he is at this time.
"I have to be on my guard" muttered Rei who already knew what Dean was thinking. He can read a person's mind and heart, it is one of his abilities.

"What are you doing? Why are we here?" Tessa asked who still seemed confused by what Trish was trying to do for her.
"I told you we had breakfast right! Now choose the food you want to eat!" Trish thrust out the menu book that was in front of her.
"But…"
"I paid for everything! You take it easy, I still have money so don't think about how you're going to pay. Think of this as your tour guide fare!"
"Wait, what? Guide tour? You think you're on an excursion to what zoo?!"
"Yes just think so, after all you are like a tour guide right? You explained everything I didn't know yet and you led me down the path I was supposed to get this all done."
"Y-yes, you have a point too. W-but still different!"
"Don't talk about useless things anymore. Now pick the food you want to try, let me pay for it all."
"Yes! Quickly select!" Trish forced.
"Well then I will choose" said Tessa who then turned her eyes to the menu book before her.
"If you need to choose a lot so you're not as straight as a stick like this!"
"Lidi's trunk? Oh you're such a bitch!"
"Haha, but that's a fact."
"Ah, it's up to you!" Tessa is tired of arguing. He returned to focus on finding food that he wanted to enjoy. After finding the food he wanted to eat, Tessa then began to be busy waiting for their food to arrive in front of them, and only then were they busy eating the food they had ordered.

Dean pensive. His eyes stared blankly at the table he was sitting on. He is currently in the game room, sitting with Nero, and Vicenzo who is busy reading the book they brought from the library. While the three of them sat at the table, Marko and Taz were busy playing video games.
"Dey?!" Vicenzo who had since realized the peculiarity of his class friend then tried to revive him from his daydream.
"Nero, do you feel that Dean has been acting strangely since?" Vicenzo turned to look at Nero beside him.
"You're right" murmured Nero who was now glancing at Dean from behind his book.
"Dee!" Call Vincenzo again while raising a little bit of his tone which in an instant makes the man aware of his daydream.
"Ah? Yea? Why?" Ask gurgling.
"What's this you been doing since? Why do you keep daydreaming?"
"H-huh? Me? Daydreaming?" Dean frowned.
"Yes. You daydream, what's up? What are you thinking?" Nero.
"T-nothing," murmured Dean. Nero who could basically see the color of his voice and distinguish between the lying and the not, he could see clearly if anyone was trying to be covered by Dean from them. But Nero doesn't know what it is.
"You sure?" Vicenzo looked at him making sure.
"Yes, I'm serious."
"Then why have you been quiet since? Don't you want to play with Taz and Marko? Don't you like playing games?"
"I'm just lazy."
"Soddy, you're usually the most excited" murmured Vincenzo frowning.
"I'm starting to get bored. Never mind, I'm going to the toilet first," he said. Dean got up from his seat leaving Vicenzo, Nero, Taz, and Marko in the room.
Vincenzo looked at Dean with a puzzled look on his face while Nero looked at him suspiciously.
"There is something he is hiding" murmured Nero whose voice could be heard by Vincenzo beside him.
"really?" Vincenzo turned towards him.
"Yes. He just lied to us."
"What is he hiding?"
