                     POV P'SEO

What the hell am I doing here?
Instead of enjoying the air conditioning in my room I'm here between dying of heat!

All because of this idiot Khlui. Moron! He got me involved in a dubious story again.

It all happened this morning, after I finished my morning ritual, I hope to enjoy a calm and peaceful morning;

for once our neighbors have decided not to fight today, we might as well enjoy it.

But my roommate doesn't seem to be happy about this sudden apparent calm from our neighbors.

Last night he practically spent hours with his ear to the wall in the hope of hearing something.

But nothing, according to Khlui there must be something going on but I just think they decided to finally be reasonable and make a truce out of respect for their neighbors.

Khlui seems really disappointed,
I think he's starting to get a little too excited about them,
but I'm sure he will find a new occupation.
Which came soon, to my great despair, in the form of a message from Techno,
a friend of Type's whom I met 2 or 3 times.
All of a sudden his face lit up as if someone had announced that he had won the lottery or something.
After that I can't remember what exactly happened between that moment and my presence in a room with a completely rotten air conditioning system.

"can someone explain to me why we are here?"

"yes I'm curious to know why you brought us here No!"

The one who just spoke is also one of Type's friends,
If I remembered correctly the name that Khlui used to greet him, I think his name is Champ.
He's just as excited as I am and a little irritated at not understanding this whole circus.

The other person present in this damn room besides the three of us is Techno, the instigator of all this and also the one who can answer our questions.

Now that I think about it, although I have only met him on rare occasions, he seems different.
And a glance at Champ confirms it.
He seems just as surprised by Techno's attitude from earlier.
He is usually not very serious and always with a word to laugh and something to say,
had not let go of any word letting us grumble against this infernal heat that reigns in this room.

Techno got up and stood on a kind of platform with a serious face as if he was going to announce something particularly serious.

"I want to thank you my dear friends for being here. I know that you have many questions, but don't worry, I'm going to lift the veil on the mystery of our presence in this place.

What's with this delusion, does he think he's a politician or what?
What kind of speech is that?
And since when are we 'friends', tell me, frankly this story is becoming more and more bizarre.

"Please excuse the discomfort of this room that houses this very important meeting. But this is all I could find in a short period of time".

I'm really surprised by his words, because what?
He couldn't find better? There is no shortage of restaurants in this city.
Looking at Champ's face, I'm not the only one who thinks that. On the other hand, Khlui seems to be totally captivated by what Techno has to offer.

"Could we know what is this important thing we have to deal with that cannot be done in a public place and preferably with a working air-conditioning system" asks my companion in misfortune.

"I'm coming to that, a little patience my dear".

"the reason why we are all here is simply peace".

"yes my friends peace, this peace to which we all aspire. Yes all of us, you two as neighbors and of course Champ and I as friends.
Yes my dear ones I am talking to you about a problem that I am sure torments you as much as it does me. That is why we are here, to put a definite end to the incessant quarrels between Tharn and Type "
