Empty Space WHO ARE YOU?
I scratch my chin as I saw Shier’s friend.His name is Heed, the appointed guardian and one of Shier’s best friends."She says humans are interesting when all she can do is collect things that those filthy humans used. “”Oh… he has a sharp tongue.” So I thought.“Stop being rude to her and let’s go to collect tears.”“You are the one who forgets your priority just to be with her.”Shier just looks at him void of emotion as if telling him to shut up.Heed, whose his friend for many years, knows what it means.He started to walk toward Shier and tap his shoulder.Then he walked past him.Together they stand not so far.However, I began to panic since Shier slowly disappeared right in front of my eyes.Just like Cerez, I can not follow him to wherever their destination and I will be alone again.I regretted following this young man.I have a bigger chance of waiting for Cerez, but not Shier.Should I just grab him without him noticing?However, that is impossible.

Empty Space HIS REALITY
I swear lightning caressed my whole body. I can not move an inch.I look at him directly as he walks toward me.I almost lost my breath when Shier stop in front of me.“I asked, who are you?” He whispered.Still, I didn’t move an inch as if my life depends on it.He lifts his hand and grabs the part in my pocket where the fork is.That time I lost my breath as if a hand grip my chest harder.I still remember his face when he saw me the other night under the moonlight.His shocked and scared face makes me want to hide in the dark again.What if he makes that face again?However, his hand didn’t get anything. Like he grabs something in a tin air.“Shier, what are you doing again?” Heed asked while looking back at Shier“Nothing,” Shier answered before he walked through me.At that time, I knew he is aware that I exist.He felt, that I'm around him.But I can’t stop following him now.All I know is…As long as he doesn’t know my face, his reaction will be my least problem.While walking,

After a long laugh, Heed looked at me. I can't help but swallow when I look at him. Somehow I felt a thirst deep down my throat. If stares can kill, l might be injured right now. It’s as if the Heed I know slowly changes into something he doesn’t. “You… you’ve changed” “No, I do not. You know that this is what people like. Well, they do react differently. But, we always saw the human ugliest part. You saw it too. If there is someone who changes here, it is you.” I just stared at him, doing my best to understand him. What is he saying” “You are always with me with our mission. Back then, you didn’t question what we are doing. But ever since you talk to that lady, you start questioning every little thing.” Is it... Is it me? “I know you are confused right now. However, don’t let that lady ruin what you are right now. This is our purpose.” I felt Heed was so far away from me when he stands in front of me. “What is our purpose again?” I look away at Heed as I question myself
Empty Space THE OTHER LAND

You can hug every man in there and I can't?" He tried to corner and hug her really tight but she slapped him hard leaving him a shocked."I said stop it." Her voice is cold and flat. From that moment even if he can't admit it, she is not the same Rhianne he knows."What do you want Mr. Erdino?" He felt a shiver straight through his spine. He utters no word, his heart twisting in pain. He never thought that hearing his surname is quite painful.That's when he set his usual poker face."Why did you resign three years ago, is it because I ask you about the cool off?"
