1.14 The First World
Another person's point of view/flashback.
***
She is staring at the morgue with lifeless eyes. Her eyes are puffy and red. It's seemed that she had been crying this entire time.
Several footsteps are approaching the morgue in a rush. The two boys then stopped as they saw her standing not too far from that place while staring into the horizon. They shouted something to her, but, like a deaf person, she could never hear their voices and their desperate calling. Her heart is dead alongside the corpse that laying listlessly in the morgue.
Something warm is embracing her stiff body, and she finally reacted due to the sudden embrace of the two boys. They are doing group hugging out of nowhere.
"Are you...alright?" One of the boys, with black hair and mesmerizing obsidian eyes, asked her in concern. His friend also staring at her with a worried expression.
