"Sis...I have sothing to tell you." Light took a deep breath when he uttered this sentence and then continued to speak:
"What I'm about to tell you may seriously make you think I'm schizophrenic, but please just listen to for a minute, okay?"
Petunia couldn't rember a ti in her entire life when her little brother was so serious. She always thought there was light in Light's eyes, but seeing him with such lifeless eyes showed that this was more than just a case of 'schizophrenia'.
"Tell ." Petunia put her bag back on the seat and sat beside Light. She was carefully looking at her brother and waiting to understand what was going on.
Light was going to filter the story he was going to tell his sister, add a few lies and definitely not tell her that he had already 'died'. Still, he knew very well that if he wanted to keep a woman as stubborn as his sister by his side, he had to tell her many of the truth.
"Now...what I'm about to tell you matches what you just saw on the news. For this, we need to go back six months, that is, sothing that happened the day before you called to the lawyer's office..."
"I dreamt the sa thing that we just saw on the news, and things didn't turn out so well. At the ti of my dream, I was planning to visit you in a week, and I had to postpone my visit for such a long ti due to university exams and other reasons."
"And just as I arrived ho, the main news bulletins that kept popping up one after the other kept stating that a widespread epidemic had begun to spread. It was like a scene from a film. The news bulletins of the main news channels were frantically shouting and telling us to stay at ho. We kept being told that the army would solve everything."
"I talked to you every day and I kept asking you questions about what was wrong with you, but...."
"But what?" Petunia felt obliged to ask as if she was afraid, she could see Light's sadness.
"But one day you stopped answering my calls. I learnt that the epidemic in London had grown to gigantic proportions and you were probably infected."
"You're telling ...." After a deep swallow, Petunia began to question whether her brother was crazy. Despite all this, she saw that brutal but filtered image on television and began to agree with Light a little.
"Are you trying to tell that I was dead? That I've turned into those zombies we saw on TV?" Light made a face as if he didn't know with the sudden question asked by Petunia.
"I don't know because in my dream there were not only zombies. There were also mutated plants, animals and humans. "
Even though Petunia didn't know if everything was real or not, she still seed to be deeply affected by the fact that Light had died in her dream, it was a very oppressive thought to know that you would just die in such a situation.
"As for , I lived, and I witnessed quite different things, I managed to live until the whole world was completely engulfed in this apocalypse, a red sun kept the sky red all the ti, it didn't matter if it was day or night, the sky was always red."
"However, this Sun was not hot, well, a little hot for humans, but it snowed almost continuously for two months from the mont the sun ca out. The whole world was covered in snow. People started killing other people, literally stomping on the snow, going to other apartnts."
"It's horrible. But I don't understand, you say red sun, but as far as I can see neither the sky nor the sun is red, could you be rembering it wrong? Or maybe it's just a nightmare and maybe it is just a virus on the telly."
Petunia had a good point, the fact that she was able to find logic in such a horrible situation and in such a strange story and that she was not laughing at Light for such a story, showed in a serious way how she supported her little brother.
"No. On January 1st 2025, the red sun rose, the sky turned red and everything turned upside down. When the red sun appeared, mutations began to appear month after month."
"So you want to stay here for a day?"
"Yes, sister...just for one day. But you must promise that if the red sun appears or the sky turns red, you will not leave here without . On top of that, we'll cash in all your possessions and go get them together. We have one month before everything gets complicated, exactly one month."
Petunia was surprised when Light uttered these words. She could understand everything, but why did they need to sell their assets? Why did they need money if the world was falling into the apocalypse?
"Why do we need money?" asked Petunia, curious.
"Even if the apocalypse wiped out everything, of course, so places survived, and each of these places began to function with either food, clean water or money. So with these three resources, we can get lots of things in the apocalyptic world."
Petunia had a hard ti believing what her brother was saying, but she thought that Light hadn't changed, he had just gone through so bad things. She knew that he was still the sa brother, she just suspected that he had lost his mind a little bit.
"Alright, as you say. I will stay here for 1 day and if the red sun appears, we will convert all our possessions. If it's just a temporary illness, we'll go on with our lives as before."
Petunia, however, chose to accept what her younger brother said and then waited for a few seconds.
