School Infirmary – Afternoon
Eric lay on the infirmary bed, sleeping comfortably. Justin sat beside him, watching him closely.
Justin (thinking, frustrated):
"Why the hell do I feel like this? He… he murdered me before, and now… why does my heart feel weird? Justin, be aler ! Don't fall for this again!" 😤
He lightly hit his own face.
Justin: "Come on, dude, get a grip!" 😤
Time slowly passed, and the afternoon sun filtered through the windows. Eric finally stirred and sat up, glancing around the empty infirmary.
Eric (thinking):
"Common Eric, Why am I feeling disappointed? He's just a tool… a way to reach my target. So why does it feel like… sadness?" 🥲
It was just a few minutes touch , don't act your craving for his presence
Before he could process further, he heard footsteps approaching. Acting quickly, he flopped back onto the bed, pretending to sleep. 😴
Through the door, Lussy's cheerful voice rang out:
Lussy: "Yeah, Justin! Move over, I'll feed him. He's my darling!" 🥰
Emily: "Guys, don't fight over this! Calm down!" 😅
Justin (indignant, whispering): "What the… is he your husband or something, girl? You're just ten!" 😤
Lussy lightly pushed Emily, who stumbled.
Emily: "Hey! What the—" 😶
Thomas: (catching her) "Be careful! Sister " 😒
Lussy: "Ugh!" 😤
Finally, Justin picked up his food and started eating, too hungry to continue arguing. Emily joined in, silently glaring at him but eating anyway. Thomas and lussy to started eating while feeding and bickering.
Eric, lying on the bed inside the blanket, allowed a small, almost imperceptible smile to appear on his face as he watched the cousins bicker and feed each other. Something about their chaotic energy felt… strangely comforting. 😊
He realized then these children, their innocence, their tiny disputes, even their laughter ,it was a reminder of life beyond his mission, and for a fleeting moment, he felt… like child.
