My eyes slowly opened.
When I saw the beams of sunlight clearly illuminating my room and heard the refreshing sound coming from outside, I felt... strange.
I slowly sat up, waited for a mont, and finally closed my eyes slowly with a deep sigh.
When was the last ti I woke up in the morning feeling so... peaceful?
I opened my eyes again, this ti without thinking about anything extra, I went to the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face, one after the other. I looked at my face in the mirror, thought about the conversation I had with my sister yesterday, and smiled awkwardly.
I'm pathetic.
I'm really pathetic.
I feel a little better though, I guess. Like I pulled out a dagger stuck in my chest after I exploded like that yesterday.
I took a deep breath and this ti I got into the shower.
As Clara said, I didn't think about anything. I stayed under the hot water for almost an hour and a half and all I did was relax.
I didn't think about my future actions or anything, my goal today was just to rest. Nothing more or less, simply resting.
After I finished showering, I threw myself back on my bed.
For the first ti in a long ti, I have so real free ti. And now... I have no idea what to do.
Great...
'Haayh... Good morning.'
Sith suddenly appeared in front of , yawning. I couldn't help but smile.
"Good morning."
Sith was there at the... thing yesterday. He kept quiet because he didn't want to co between and Clara, but I'm sure he was there. Now he pretends not to know, he doesn't question even though I use phrases like 'when I ca into this world'.
He's really worried about .
My smile widened even wider, though I took a deep breath, finally letting it go, because I had a big problem...
I'm bored. I can't find anything to do and... like I said, I'm bored.
Should I look at the dia? I haven't looked at what's going on for a long ti... it might be nice.
So I turned on my watch and the first thing I did was to go to a news website.
When I looked at the text below, my eyebrows went up for a mont.
No way... is it here too?
I pressed 'continue' and stared at the page loading in front of .
A grin appeared on my face, and then I burst out laughing. I laughed so hard that I had tears in my eyes, and Sith was looking at like I was crazy.
'H- hey? You're okay, aren't you, Aiden?'
'Yeah, yeah. I am.'
"Pfft."
I let out another short laugh and wiped the tears from my eyes. Then I looked at the news again.
It was funny to see the sa kind of news that the news sites in my previous world always did, the ones that kept going on and on and on. Seeing how similar the two worlds actually were made feel strangely relieved and happy.
I left the news site, and even though I had a good laugh, I really wanted to know what was going on, so when I went to a more decent site and saw a news article with a more detailed explanation, I opened it without waiting.
The article went on and on, but what I read was enough for to grasp the situation.
After learning about the general situation, I decided to go on social dia out of curiosity. And then I thought of sothing else.
Even though I follow the dia occasionally, I haven't used any social dia apps since I ca to Lunerra. I guess it was normal since I wasn't a social dia person in my previous life either.
Although...
I know Aiden's e-mail, but what's the password to his social dia account? First of all... does he have a social dia account...?
I quickly switched to a popular social dia platform, entered the email, typed in a random password, and hit 'login'.
Oh? So he has an account...
I quickly went into recovery and set myself a new password from the password reset that ca to my email address.
When I finally logged into the account, the first thing I noticed was... the account didn't have a profile photo. There was also not a single post, video, photo, or story. It was just Aiden Tenebra in the na and...
When I saw the number three in the followers section, my eyebrows raised for a mont. Curious, I quickly went to the followers section and looked at them.
Oh... all three of them are mbers of Aiden's family. It feels a little... weird that two of them are dead.
I wonder if they have a post.
I quickly went to my 'dad's' profile and started looking through it.
Aaron Tenebra had more followers than . They were probably high school, academy friends or sothing, but I didn't care much about them. After all, the platform didn't allow anyone to see who the followers were except the person himself.
What I cared about was that there was only one post on the account.
It was a family photo of Aaron, Aria, Clara, and Aiden.
Aaron, the father of the Tenebra Family, had an ordinary appearance just like mine. He had short dark brown hair and dark brown eyes like his hair. He was a little taller than average and his body was not overly built, but not skinny either.
Next to her stood a short woman with the sa coal-black hair and gray eyes as mine. Her body looked quite thin, almost as if she had a disease. This was Aria Tenebra. In contrast to Aaron's ordinary appearance, Aria was a beautiful woman. Her looks were above the norm and her smile was bright.
Clara looked no more than seven years old. She had a smile on her face similar to Aria's. She looked happy, she had the joy of a child.
So my eyes shifted to the last person in the photo, Aiden.
Aiden had the emotionless expression I expected from him. While the whole family was smiling, he didn't have a smile on his face. It was as if he had been forced into the photo, he was soulless. All the joy in the photo seed to disappear the mont I looked at him.
How could a nine-year-old child be so soulless?
I sighed and looked to see if there was a comnt on the post, but I didn't even see a like on the post, much less a comnt. Then I saw that the photo was labeled 'private', visible only to family mbers.
I sighed deeply and checked Aria's account in the hope of finding another post, but there were no other posts on her account either, except for the sa photo.
I stood there for a mont, disappointed that I hadn't found anything worthwhile, but then I paused. Suddenly sothing occurred to and my brow furrowed.
The Tenebra Family seems like a happy family, at least on the surface, even if the mories I've seen make it seem a little different. And the three of them, except Aiden, are smiling in a very natural way.
So why is there only one photo of this 'happy' family?
Even though I can't check who they are, both Aaron and Aria have several followers... So they have friends, acquaintances. So there must be other photos they have taken. So why is there nothing else on their accounts apart from this private post?
Confused, I looked at Clara's account.
At least her account looked full. She had a few posts, but not many. A few photos of her and her friends and stuff like that... and she had the sa family photo.
Yet there was nothing but this one photo with neither his mother nor his father in it.
My brow furrowed even more. This ti I took my focus off the holographic screen and tried to recall the mories I had seen earlier. I kept moving them around in my head, hoping to find sothing, anything, but then I realized that there were so missing things in what I rembered.
I can rember the mories, but... they are extrely foggy as if they were really just dreams.
I pushed my mory, I could see Aaron and Aria talking about sothing in the kitchen, but I couldn't rember what they were talking about.
I got frustrated. Because I felt like I was getting close to sothing, but I couldn't quite see it.
It seems that I need to investigate this...
I paused, and when I realized I had been staring at the blank wall and thinking for a few minutes, I took a deep breath and closed the app.
I've been thinking too much.
I'm going to rest today... I'm going to research the Tenebra family anyway, and I'll do it straight away when I go to talk to Ulka, but not today.
Although, isn't talking to Ulka the only thing I need to take care of right now? After talking to him, I can rest until I'm fully recovered, after all...
No. I had to rest...
I put my head on the pillow and closed my eyes.
Not today...
