morning.

A bright morning dawned.

The moment I woke up, I jumped out of my seat and screamed.

“Morning!”

morning.

The time when the day begins.

That meant I could take off the suffocating bracelets and chains.

I looked around with both arms raised and could see that Amy’s seat was empty.

An empty blanket.

I reached out and felt underneath, but I felt no warmth.

“in…”

Open your mouth blankly.

Where did the girl who was lying next to me disappear to?

I rubbed my eyes and shook Shine and Rain awake.

“Rain! Shine! Wake up!”

The chains and bracelets were still there.

Only Amy wasn’t there.

As the sleepyheads slowly began to wake up, I jumped out of bed.

Clang- The iron chain wrapped around my ankle stretched out and rolled across the floor.

“Amy! Amy!”

I look around for Amy.

But the long-awaited answer did not come.

Are you planning to wake up first and prepare breakfast?

If not that, a shower room?

I poked my head into the bathroom, dragging a heavy iron chain.

“Amy, are you here?”

The inside of the shower room was empty.

The lights weren’t even on, so she couldn’t be here.

I walked around the office, dragging a heavy iron chain.

“Amy! Amy!”

There was no answer from her to my desperate calls.

It’s weird.

If it were normal, he would have quickly shown up and hugged me.

But there isn’t.

I can’t see it.

Her pink hair was nowhere to be found.

“Jeff?”

A little chick that woke up late.

Rain sat on the bed and rubbed his eyes.

I ran to her, grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her.

“Rain! Rain! Amy’s gone!”

“Ugh…”

Rain’s small body followed me as I shook it.

After shaking that small body for a while, this time Shine woke up.

I threw Rain away and hung on to Shine.

“Shine! Amy’s gone!”

Shine blinked at my words and looked around the bed and inside the office.

She put her hand under Amy’s blanket, just as I had done.

“When did you go out?”

“I don’t know…”

Shine got out of bed immediately.

Her expression becomes serious.

I too followed that shine and got out of bed.

“You left without saying anything?”

“Yeah. It wasn’t there when I just woke up…”

The door was firmly closed.

There is no trace of it being open.

The lock was still on, so Amy must have locked it when she left.

Why did you have to leave without telling us?

Clank, clank.

Shine and I walked towards the door, dragging the chain.

The distance of the chain was exquisite.

My ankles are pulled tight right in front of the door.

“Oh, what should I do?”

Shine, who had been linking arms, seemed to think for a moment, then grabbed my arm.

The hand with the bracelet on is raised high.

At that moment, with a clicking sound, the bracelet on my arm fell to the floor.

“Gasp…”

I looked down at the floor, feeling my wrists.

The bracelet, which had not moved at all no matter what I did, came off in an instant.

I have no idea how this was solved.

“Jeff. Stick your foot out.”

“Uh, uh…”

I put my foot out as Shine said.

The moment her hands lightly touched the chains, they came off with a clanking sound.

I shook my legs, which had become much lighter.

“How did you do it?”

“Just, I could do it.”

You can just do it.

I nodded at those words.

If that’s the case with Shine, then so be it.

You shouldn’t have any doubts.

Shine immediately untied her shackles, then walked over to Rain, who was writhing on the bed, and untied her shackles as well.

In an instant, I became free.

But I quietly went back to bed and sat down.

The thought of wanting to go out no longer existed in me.

Shine left me like that and started packing her bag.

Open the mouth of the dinosaur bag and put your notebook, cell phone, and various snacks inside.

“Hey. Where are you going, Shine?”

“Jeff, hurry up and pack your bags. I think something happened to Amy.”

“Work…?”

I looked at Amy’s empty seat with an uneasy gaze at Shine’s words.

Work, I couldn’t even guess what you were talking about.

Shine continued speaking while looking at me like that.

“Something urgent must have come up that you can’t tell us.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yeah, and it’s definitely dangerous. They didn’t even release the chains that keep us from getting out of here.”

After listening, it seemed like Shine was right.

I nodded and pulled the blanket up.

“Jeff, what are you doing?”

“Ha, but. Amy told me not to come out.”

Amy said.

I told you never to go out because it was dangerous.

Because I was a good kid, I had to listen to Amy.

And you promised Shine too.

I said I wasn’t going to go out.

“Hoo-”

Shine sighed as if she was frustrated with my appearance and threw my dinosaur bag away.

Whirlyrick- I held the spinning bag in my arms and glared at Shine.

“Shine. Are you going out?”

“Yeah. That’s right.”

“Amy told me not to go out.”

“I know. But things are different now.”

I said to Shine as I pushed my bag under the blanket.

She was trying not to listen to Amy right now.

“Rain thinks so too?”

“Me, me?”

“Yeah.”

Was it a sudden question?

Rain, who had been sitting blankly, wiped his mouth and looked back and forth between me and Shine.

Now things have changed.

Shine is trying to leave and I’m trying to stop her.

I don’t know why I’m like this either.

If it were yesterday, it would be a different story, but now I am a good child who listens to Amy well.

Phagejik-

I got out of bed and waved.

Now that the bracelet was off, I could use my abilities freely.

Scratch Scratch – The powers that had been dormant for a day awakened, and blue lightning flashed across the skin.

“Jeff what are you doing?”

She, with her bag on her back, looked at me and smiled incredulously.

“Are you trying to stop me now?”

“Yeah.”

“Why on earth? You were just about to leave earlier.”

“It wasn’t me, it was the baby.”

“Ha…”

Shine sighed slightly at my answer and wiped her face.

“Hey, are you really going to go out? How about calling Amy first?”

At that moment, Rain, who had been observing the situation, held out his cell phone with a chick case on and said.

Her words were valid.

It won’t be too late to ask Amy’s permission first and then make a move.

At least, I thought so.

Shine also nodded to Rain’s words, took the phone from her, and called Amy.

Dooroo-dooroo-

There was a long ring, but Amy didn’t answer.

Shine Lane and I exchanged glances.

Surely, surely, something could have happened to Amy.

Everyone thought so and looked at each other with anxious eyes.

Shine, who had taken the phone out of her ear, texted Amy.

But no matter how long I waited, there was no reply.

If it were the usual Amy, she would have replied right away.

Eventually, Shine nodded and walked towards the door.

Shine, who was walking confidently in her dinosaur pajamas, turned her head and called out to Rain.

“Aren’t you going?”

Oh, what should I do?

I really wonder what happened to Amy?

I bit my nails, took out the bag I had hidden under the blanket, and put it on my back.

Rain also approached Shine, taking his chick bag with him.

The three of us looked into each other’s eyes and nodded.

Now it’s time to leave this office.

The moment Shine places her hand on the locked door.

I could detect a strange phenomenon occurring at her fingertips.

Small black particles spread out and cover the door handle.

Rain just stood there blankly, seemingly unaware of it.

Immediately after that, the locked door opened without making any sound.

The lock didn’t work.

It just opened.

The door opened as if it was meant to be that way from the beginning.

I swallowed dry saliva as I looked at the sight.

“Let’s go.”

The hallway was quiet.

It’s not that there weren’t any people, but there didn’t seem to be any people capable of fighting.

Shine headed towards Jin’s office as if it was a given.

I arrived at Jin’s office, my tail wagging.

Shine opened the door to the office with a natural gesture.

I thought about knocking, but I was left speechless by her bold actions.

What on earth was Shine doing here?

The door opened silently.

The three of us peeked inside the office and looked around.

In an empty room.

Unlit lights.

A cold chill swept through, as if it had been empty for a long time.

“None.”

It’s a situation where even the truth can’t be seen.

Shine frowned, walked over to Jin’s desk, and started rummaging through the drawers.

Knock knock knock

The drawer opened and the documents inside scattered into the air.

Shine took out a small, glowing green stone from the drawer.

“That, that’s…”

The moment Rain was about to say something while looking at the rocks, Shine looked at us and said.

“Pebble.”

“Do, a stone?”

“Yeah. It’s just a rock. Don’t worry about it. ”

As Shine spoke, the stone began to emit a green light.

The faint light passes through my and Rain’s bodies and disappears.

Pebbles.

Yeah, it’s a stone.

I didn’t know why Shine had picked up the rocks, but they were shiny and pretty.

She picked up the stones and immediately left the office.

“Excuse me, there’s no progress over there. Where are you going?”

“Mary’s Lab.”

Shine’s steps were unstoppable.

She arrived at the research building with me and Rain, and headed straight to Mary’s lab.

Shine, who arrived in front of the lab, opened the tightly closed door and started to collect various items inside.

“Rain is packing his suit.”

“Yeah!”

Following Shine’s instructions, Rain brought the suit bag from the corner of the lab with a heavy load.

Inside was Rain’s special suit, a raincoat and a large umbrella.

I started gathering the items I would use, just like Shine did.

Take the iron bars that Victor uses and several small batteries.

After changing into his suit, Rain began running around the lab excitedly, stuffing everything he saw into his bag.

“Hey, over there. Shine. If I do this, won’t I get in trouble?”

As I muttered while looking around anxiously, Shine answered.

“… Probably. If you can get back safely.”

Did you pack everything you needed to pack?

Rain approached Shine, carrying a full, bulging bag on his back.

“I’m ready!”

“Okay. Let’s go now.”

I looked at Shine with anxious eyes.

She approached the elevator, her fluffy dinosaur tail wagging.

It looked like he really intended to get out of here.

Shine got on the elevator and immediately took out her cell phone and made a call.

Early in the morning, there weren’t many people we could call.

[Shine…?]

The voice on the other end of the phone was all too familiar.

“Yeah, it’s me, Grandpa.”

[What’s going on this morning?]

It was rare for Shine to make the first call.

Usually, when I had something to do with my grandfather, I was the one who called him.

That’s why my grandfather seemed a little confused about this situation.

“Amy isn’t answering my phone. Do you know anything?”

[… Wait a minute.]

While waiting for my grandfather’s answer, the elevator announced that it had reached the top floor.
