Even if I realized what Shine’s ability was, nothing would change.

I sat a little away from Shine, who was sitting next to me.

The way she looks at me begins to subtly change.

A psychic power that appears very rarely.

It was clear that it was the highest level of class that could interfere with the minds of others.

The incomprehensible behaviors I’ve felt during this time.

I start to recall past events where I acted like a child.

I couldn’t tell exactly what she was doing to me, but she was twisting my consciousness and actions without me even realizing it.

It truly must have been a terrifying ability.

Looking at it that way, there were more than one or two strange things.

When I first started working at the lab, Shine had something similar to the power suppression device strapped to my wrist around her neck.

As time passed, at some point the restraint device around her neck disappeared.

No one there pointed it out.

“Jeff.”

A voice with a subtle tremor.

Noise creeps into my head again.

“You… !”

I get up from my seat in a hurry.

Power suppression devices do not work on her.

No, it was out of her control for a little while.

I hurriedly hid behind Amy.

The noise that filled my head disappeared in an instant.

“Hey guys?”

A breathtaking chase ensues, with Amy between them.

She circled Amy’s body desperately, trying to catch me.

I also circled Amy’s body desperately, trying not to be caught by her.

The chase continues, round and round, until everyone collapses from exhaustion.

“Gasp… . Gasp… .”

I fell to my knees, far away from Shine.

Shine also collapses on the spot, gasping for breath.

Poor physical strength.

The little girl’s body trembled as if her heart would burst with just a little running.

“Did you play tag?”

I didn’t have the capacity to answer.

His lungs, contracted to their limit, cried out for fresh air.

A mouth wide open.

The cold air rushing in makes my whole body spin.

“I’m going to go now.”

Amy stood up from her seat.

I reached out to her urgently.

“No!”

A piece of cloth that hangs on your fingertips.

Amy’s hand touches the hem of her shirt.

I exert myself to not let go of the tangled fabric.

Long flowing dresses expose the entire shoulder.

“Huh?”

Amy looks back.

I spoke urgently, out of breath.

“Don’t go!”

You must not go.

It was clear that something big was going to happen.

If she got out of here, I was sure I’d go back to being that stupid, angry little brat Jeff.

I couldn’t tell you why.

I felt like crying because I was so depressed.

If Shine’s abilities were discovered, it was clear that I would never be able to return to the lab again.

It’s clear that the same goes for Shine.

That’s what it means to have psychic abilities.

Because it is an ability that makes everyone envious and fearful.

“Jeff.”

Shine, who had come closer before I knew it, started talking to me.

The subtle noise in the voice digs into my head.

What on earth are you thinking?

I couldn’t even guess what her purpose was.

I hid behind Amy once again.

“Should we stop now?”

Amy reached out and grabbed the back of my neck.

My body stops moving, and Shine’s arm entangles itself with mine.

“Heeek!”

The moment I was about to pull my arm out in shock.

Noise that eats away at my mind.

The beeping sound continues.

“Jeff?”

A voice coming from above my head.

I answer Amy’s words blankly.

“Yes… ?”

“Why?”

I look around blankly.

Jeff.

My name.

and

At the end of my gaze, I began to see the face of a girl who looked exactly like me.

Shine.

my.

My sister.

Sister?

Chijik-

“Are you scared and can’t sleep?”

Things start to change.

Surrender yourself to the changes that flow like water.

A mind that is blankly absent-minded.

“Huh… ?”

Before I knew it, I was lying on a soft bed.

On the right is Amy.

On the left is the bed where Shine is lying.

The soft texture of the blanket and the warmth rushing in from both sides.

My eyes are closed.

Fatigue is setting in.

He burrows into the blanket with a wriggling motion.

I think you had a bit of a hard time today.

I don’t remember.

“Jeff.”

I cringe at the sound of Shine’s voice whispering in my ear.

A voice that tickles and digs in.

I couldn’t stand the warm breath on my neck.

The tips of the toes curl.

“Huh… ?”

“Jeff is my family.”

I naturally nod my head to the whispering voice.

A small hand moves and covers my two eyes.

“Good night Jeff.”

A faintly emerging spirit.

A loud noise is heard in my ears.

The sound of the blanket rustling disperses.

“Guys, wake up!”

A lively voice pierces my ears.

A field of vision that brightens in an instant.

I cover my eyes from the dazzling fluorescent lights and burrow into the blanket.

“Ugh… .”

A thin moan flows out of his mouth and disperses weakly.

My movements of digging into the soft blanket come to a halt in vain.

Because Amy kicked the blanket off.

“It’s dazzling… .”

Cover your eyes with both hands.

“You have to wake up quickly. You’re not going to eat breakfast?”

morning.

morning.

There were many days when I skipped it, but I remember that there were more days when I ate it.

A vague memory comes to mind.

When I needed to get something to eat at the lab, I headed to the convenience store.

Research Institute.

go to work.

“Hot!”

I got up from my seat in a hurry.

The moment it happened, I panicked.

It’s not a familiar sight.

In an unfamiliar room.

The arrangement of the baby-like structures.

He looks around with anxious eyes.

“Jeff.”

Shine’s voice flies in.

Anxiety subsides quickly.

yes.

There is no need to go to work anymore.

Because the lab was raided.

But why am I here?

Chijik-

The noise continues.

My thoughts are scattered.

I was sitting there blankly when Amy grabbed my hand and dragged me along.

After arriving at the bathroom, I started brushing my teeth with Shine.

A girl looking into the mirror with blank eyes.

Next to her, a girl who looked exactly the same was brushing her teeth diligently.

I raised my hand and pulled at the sleeve of my shirt.

When were you wearing pajamas like these?

A pattern engraved with lots of cute characters.

A cute nightgown with bright-toned frills was draped over my body.

“Bae… .”

Spit out the white toothpaste foam that filled your mouth.

After that, rinse your mouth and finish with a simple wash.

Amy said as she wiped her face with a fluffy towel.

“Let’s go eat!”

I nod.

I was starting to feel hungry.

I naturally reached out to Shine.

“Let’s go Shine.”

Shine’s hand hesitates.

A small smile creeps across an expressionless face.

She quickly places her small hand on top of mine.

Warmth seeps through my fingers.

The moment I stepped out into the hallway in my pajamas, all eyes were on me.

“Amy. Are you babysitting or something?”

“I think that would be better.”

As she walked down the hallway, people who appeared to be members of a terrorist group pretended to know Amy.

The ridiculous conversation continues.

When we arrived at the restaurant, we sat down at a large table.

This time, Amy comes out to get our plates.

The time left for just the two of us.

I opened my mouth to Shine.

“Shine… .”

“Huh?”

Shine answered in a completely different way than usual.

The Shine I remember was a silent girl.

Even if you ask for opinions or say hello.

No reply.

She was that kind of girl.

But now it’s different.

“Something’s weird.”

“What?”

Memories are mixed.

Shine’s face won’t leave my mind.

“No… .”

I’m trailing off.

Coffee is the answer to the headache that has been present since morning.

No, I’m correcting that.

I wanted to drink a cold cola.

After a simple breakfast, Amy brought us to our room.

Then he sat us down next to each other and started asking us simple questions.

“You said you don’t remember your home address, so can you tell me your parents’ names?”

Isn’t it a bit too late to ask?

I look up at Amy with puzzled eyes.

“Don’t you remember the name?”

She seemed to perceive my gaze differently.

Parents’ names?

As she said, I don’t remember.

Because I grew up in District 23.

“Yes.”

“Um… .”

Amy rubs her forehead with a serious expression.

“What about Shine?”

“I don’t know either.”

Shine also shook her head.

Amy then asked a few simple questions and left the room.

Shine and I spent our time watching television.

It seems like there are a lot of really interesting programs coming out these days.

Shine started to nod off, perhaps bored with watching television continuously.

I helped her up and carried her to the soft bed, then went back to sit in front of the television.

It’s fun.

“This… .”

I got up from my seat in a hurry and shook my head.

There’s no time for this.

We need to get out of here quickly.

I started looking around the room.

The cameras that appear to be CCTV are not visible.

But there was no peace of mind.

I looked at the restraint tool stuffed into my arm.

If it weren’t for this, I could have sent an electric field through the room to check for cameras.

I checked on Shine, who was asleep, and took out a notebook and colored pencils from the nearby desk.

After that, I started leaving notes.

I’ll be back in a bit.

Just in case, I left a note so that Shine wouldn’t be anxious when she woke up.

White spaces begin to appear in the written notebook.

I feel so empty.

So I took out various colored pencils and drew pictures in the empty spaces.

Draw a pig that looks exactly like Dr. Heblum and the snacks you ate yesterday.

Amy draws because she’s bored.

“Hot… !”

I don’t have time to do this.

I got up from my seat in a hurry and threw down my colored pencils.

Then I headed towards the room and carefully opened the door.

The door was not locked.

It even opens wide, as if you can go out at any time.

I stuck my head through the crack in the door.

A hallway with many people passing by.

You have to start exploring alone.

I carefully got out.

A lot of eyes are flying in.

Move close to the wall to avoid their gaze.

But the gaze does not fall.

Explore the hallways, avoiding people’s gaze.

The unknown space brings fear.

Could it be because I was moving close to the wall?

I bump into someone at a bend in the road.

“Ugh… .”

A fragile body that collapsed with a thud.

My butt hurts quite a bit.

I raise my head and look at the person I bumped into.

Pink.

“Jeff?”

It was Amy.

Eventually, my exploration comes to an end.

I was caught by Amy and brought back to my room.
