A Silent Voice Manga 소설 & 이야기

Napatingin ako sa gitna ng chamber — kung saan dati nando’n ang core. Ngayon, wala na. Wala ring katawan. Wala siyang bakas. “Wala siya,” bulong ko. “He was right there—then the light—then nothing.” Tumigil ako. Kasi bigla kong narinig ‘yon. Alingawngaw. Mahinang tunog sa gitna ng static.

I can hear the menace on her voice. Hindi ako sumagot. I was eyeing her and thinking of a way how can I run through that door if I am stuck with this freaking chains. How on earth will I be able to break free from these chains? "It's too surprising, you're silent and not freaking out. I expect you to scream and cry and cry out Cayden's name for help... Isn't that usually humans do?" Tanong pa nito sa akin habang papalapit. I can even sense the mocking tone on her voice.
