The Luster of Stars in Moscow
⁇ 42
"Maybe we can call him," Cheri suddenly muttered as he snatched away Mikail's sweater arm.
"Called him?" Mikail frowned. "Call Rafael back?" The master is a little unsure.
Cheri nodded quickly. Then back to the mirror.
That face, he said in his heart. The face in the mirror…
I'm sure it's Rafael's face!
He looked at me, his mind. Like I wanted to say something.
"We?" Mikail asked again as she moved her hand towards Cheri and herself in turns.
Cheri nodded again.
"How is it? I really can't understand you" he said, still hesitating.
"See that!" Cheri pointed towards the mirror beside Rafael who was talking to the stage supervisor.
Mikail followed his gaze and did not understand.
"Look at his face! The face in the mirror!" Cheri slammed while tightening his grip on Mikail's sweater arm.
Mikail grimaced in pain.
"Ma—maf!" Cheri hurriedly let go.
Rafael turned his head and looked at him suspiciously.
Cheri turned his head back and gulped.
The man grinned faintly towards Cheri and Mikail.
"Come on!" Cheri turned quickly and led Mikail. "If not treated now, it can be worse, later" he reasoned.
Mikail glanced at Rafael once more.
The man blinked one eye.
"Hei—do you hear me?" The stage supervisor reprimanded the man with an annoyed look on his face.
"ah! That's incredible!" Rafael answered spontaneously. "Continue" he said. Then leave.
The stage supervisor frowned.
Cheri and Mikail hide themselves in the infirmary.
"You've been so sure for so long that Rafael doesn't remember anything, right?" Cherry asked Mikail. "When another personality comes to the surface, Rafael doesn't notice it?"
"Well—yeah! It was like he was sleeping!" Mikail explained.
"Do you think there's a chance it could turn around?" Cheri asked again.
"You mean the possibility that Rafael who should have fallen asleep in that personality is now beginning to awaken?"
Cheri nodded. "So I saw Rafael's face in the mirror that should reflect the face of the other personality who was bowed. But the face in the mirror turned towards me. I can't possibly look at it wrong. That must be Rafael's face. Ever since the show started, she wasn't another personality pretending to be Rafael. But he did wear the real Rafael's face!"
"I don't understand!" Mikail confessed.
"He was aware of my whereabouts" Cheri told me. "She seems to want to say something!"
Mikail knitted her brows. "So you're saying Rafael was aware inside that guy?"
"Now chapter 12, the older brother of the Beautiful is on stand by!" The loud screams of the stage supervisor blared in front of the control room.
Cyzarine didn't stop complaining all that time. "It's hot" he said. "I can't take it anymore!"
"Hold, Cyzarine! Stay a little while longer," one of the staff tried to persuade him.
"Where is Cheri?" Another staff member shouted at the costume door.
"I don't know" replied one player. "Last I saw him go with Mikail!"
"Ouch! It could be bad, if he's not ready on the stage!" The staff grumbled and rushed out of nowhere.
Cyzarine.
"Hei—" the staff who had accompanied him tried to restrain Cyzarine.
"I need water!" Cyzarine. "I'm really hot!'
At the same time, Cyzarine sees Rafael passing in front of the ladies' costume room. The girl rushed to him. "Rafael! I'm going to grab a drink first" he said, asking for permission. "I promise it won't be long!"
Rafael grinned. "There's no need to hurry" he said.
Cyzarine responded with a sweet smile. Then suddenly glare and frown.
No need to rush, he said?
How, it doesn't feel like the usual Rafael?
Ah, nevermind! Her thought. Then hurry up.
In front of the health room, Cyzarine finds Cheri alone with Mikail while whispering with the door half closed. Stand close to the side of the table with both hands touching each other.
You seductress! But Rafael is not enough! Cyzarine grumbled in his heart, then crept closer to the door.
"Then the other personality said that Rafael would not appear again" whispered Cheri. "I think the other personality was not aware of Rafael awakened in him. The state he is in now, just like the state of Rafael at that time."
Mikail held onto her forehead. "Wait a minute" he said. Then think hard. "Ah, so it looks!"
Cyzarine frowned. What are they talking about exactly? He wondered in his heart.
"During this time, every time the man appeared, Rafael fell asleep inside the man, while he himself remained conscious as Rafael appeared and constantly watched Rafael. That's how it is until now. That's why the other personality felt like he had the upper hand." Mikail started talking a lot.
Cyzarine is curious.
"Well! Since Rafael has woken up from his sleep, we might be able to do something to help him reappear!" Cheri chimed in Mikail enthusiastically.
"But—" Mikail again hesitated.
"Rafael is not the type of person who can stand still watching his body ridden on the back side of his dual personality!" Chery assured him.
Double personality? Cyzarine squealed restrained.
Then the loud scream of a staff member jerked them.
"Cheri! The cyzarine! Now it's your turn!"
Cheri and Mikail turned their heads simultaneously towards the door.
The cyzarine? Cheri batin gusar. Then he walked out and found the girl frozen near the door. How long has he been there?
Cyzarine gulped and gulped, then turned his face in any direction while rushing to leave Cheri.
"Cyzarine--wait!" Cheri tried to hold him.
But Cyzarine didn't bully him.
"Please don't tell anyone!" Cheri begged half stuttered.
"Cherry!" Mikail. "We don't yet know if Cyzarine really believes what we're talking about. I always think about the best and the worst. And worst of all, Rafael won't be back!"
GLAKES!
Cheri froze for a moment.
"Think," continued Mikail. "During this time, those other personalities rarely came to the surface. He has always kept an eye on Rafael from his position as a second personality. But now it's the opposite. Now Rafael is in that position. In other words, they had now completely swapped places!"
Cheri's face began to pale.
"CHERIIII!!!" The stage supervisor shouted impatiently.
"I'm coming!" Cheri was slamming as fast as lightning.
Mikail groaned dissatisfied. "Fuck up!" His growl kicked the door frame with his fist. "What should I do?"
"Beautiful, come out!" The stage supervisor instructed. "Dreams of the Beautiful and the Ugly Get ready behind the zanaves!"
Cheri glanced uneasily towards Rafael. The man glanced back at her while smiling faintly.
Is Rafael really not coming back? Cheri wondered in his heart.
No, objection. He could come back yesterday too. This time it can too!
"Cheri! Here!" The stage staff told.

Round 21:
The Beautiful Brothers attacked the castle of the Ugly One and plundered the entire contents.
"Search for a room that contains valuables?" The older brother first instructed. "Find the Ugly Bad One until you can then finish him off!"
"He must be hiding somewhere" said the other brother.
Only the shadow of the Beautiful One watched as the Ugly One was dying.
"Beautiful! Hurry back! I felt tormented because I couldn't help him. I'm the only shadow I can't even touch. I can only see it!"
Comeback, Rafael!
"Hurry back! Otherwise the Ugly Bad One will die!"
