Scarlet
I wake up feeling a lot better in the morning before putting on a sports bra and changing out my tank top and shorts for regular pants and a shirt, along with whatever else I need just to move around my suite. Then I quickly head over to the living room of my suite where I make a quick breakfast while listening to the TV.
Breaking news! The Guardians Research Team has broken up! a reporter declares on the TV, making pause for a mont as I make scrambled eggs. As of last night, the Guardians Research Team, which has always been the leading figure on any and all Guardian and System related research, has been broken up after the Teams head researcher retired last night to live in the countryside!
I blink in surprise at that before shaking my head and focusing on my food again.
The remaining researchers have all gone their separate ways or retired as well, leading us to believe the TV continues droning on, the reporter making up so ridiculous theories as to why this has happened. But in all honesty, Im pretty sure I know why.
It was probably Whites doing. She probably threatened them into breaking up, since the Class Vs in the team are too powerful for her to just erase the mories of. And Class Vs in the famous team are too high profile for her to erase all the mories and details about in the entire world.
Or at least, thats what I heard before. That its a lot easier for her to erase details about herself from others mories than details about others.
It was her doing, Tar suddenly appears in my living room, startling for a mont before I return to making my food again. I wanted to ask you sothing.
Go ahead, I state, not taking my focus away from the food.
Not really sure why Im making my own al right now when it would be a lot more efficient to just go to the cafeteria.
Guess Im just not in the mood to deal with people right now?
Probably that.
Last night, you sounded pretty mad at your mother, I glance at him for a mont at his use of the term mother before focusing on my food again.
Was I? I ask with a frown.
Tar floats around and returns my frown as he answers, Yes. You didnt notice? Because you seed to get really angry about the prophecies and what she did, only to suddenly turn apathetic over it
Oh. That.
You rember how I ntioned that Im bad when it cos to identifying and expressing emotions? I ask out loud, still focusing so of my attention on my scrambled eggs. And after I see Tar nod his head out of the corner of my eye, I continue, Well, so emotions are even harder for to identify and express than others, with the absolute hardest emotion being anger. So a lot of the ti I supposedly feel angry, I completely fail to identify the emotion and instead feel uncomfortable. Then I just kind of blank out and my anger turns into apathy instead. Or at least, thats how Id best describe it. Its a little hard
I understand, Tar says while floating over to my head, only for to duck out of the way.
No sitting on , rember? I comnt, not stopping in my food preparation.
The tanuki floats in front of with a sad look on his face, but I ignore it. So he continues talking, You dont understand the emotion youre feeling, so when that happens, you just default to apathy instead. That would also explain a bit as to why youre so accepting of whatever situation youre in all the ti
I nod my head at that.
Its easier to just deal with the situation and then move on rather than try to figure out how I feel about it and complain after I do. Especially since Ill probably have dealt with the situation by the ti I figure out how I feel about it. Most of the ti. A lot of the ti.
Okay, so of the ti.
But Im getting better at all this! You shouldve seen a few years ago. It was much worse then.
Hmm, Tar hums while eyeing my shoulder like he wants to sit there.
No.
I eventually finish my food with the tanuki watching the whole ti before going to the table and eating it. Then imdiately realizing that it really wasnt enough before I go to the fridge and grab a bunch of fruits to eat instead.
After returning to the couch, I grab the remote for the TV and set it to play so music instead of the news. And then I glance at the clock, finding that I still have another two or so hours before the tournant begins.
It only takes about twenty minutes to get to the pod dock hall from here, so I have plenty of ti.
Plenty of ti for what? Tar asks while floating over and landing on the back of the couch.
To ask you what you talked about with White.
He freezes for a mont before relaxing and muttering, Oh. That.
I know there are things you arent allowed to tell . Things both you and White arent allowed to tell . But at least tell what you are allowed to tell . Please?
Tar doesnt say anything for a few seconds before eventually answering, Okay.
I smile at that.
Thank you.
Ill warn you though. There isnt much that I can say, Tar says, not affecting in the slightest since Id kind of expected that. Here we go then. As you can suspect by now, a prophecy was made by soone. But what you probably havent realized by now is the severity of this prophecy. Unfortunately, I cant tell you anything about the prophecy itself. Just that it was entirely centered around you, and it was made right after you were born.
I grimace at the ntion of prophecies again. Those things are really annoying. The number of tis humanity has done sothing just because of a prophecy since the start of the Demonic Assaults more often than not ones Purple made are too great to rember off the top of my head. And they always led to worse living conditions for orphans, for lower Tiered citizens, and just worse life in general judging by the history books. But living conditions werent what the prophecies were ant for.
They were ant to keep humanity alive.
And they succeeded.
I feel like youre probably underestimating the severity of this prophecy in question, but I cant emphasize how important it is without leaking out too much Tar mutters, making narrow my eyes slightly at his sneaking that part in there for . Oh, and one other thing I can ntion freely.
I tilt my head at that while snacking on so strawberries, my incredibly long hair that really needs a haircut falling over my shoulder in the process. Too bad the hair grows at like three or four tis the speed it grew before I awakened. Probably sothing to do with my regeneration.
Even if your mother is terrible, you have a grandfather on your fathers side, and he was absolutely against everything your parents planned. Against you coming here, against them abandoning you, against everything, Tar says, almost shocking into dropping a strawberry onto my shirt. In fact, if he knew it was going to happen, he wouldve stopped it no questions asked. The man truly cares about you a lot. And for good reason, too. Although I cant state the exact reasons. So you do have a family mber that cares about you absolutely.
I stare at the tanuki for several long seconds, not saying a word in response.
Scarlet? You okay? he eventually asks, making numbly nod my head as I resu snacking on the strawberries.
I have a grandfather who actually cares about ?
Wonder what hes like
