。。。。《11 : 54 PM - Ray's POV》。。。。

It was the middle of the night when I was given my final reward for spying on Norman and Emma, which was an old fashioned camera from the outside.

I analyzed all its metallic and plastic parts, fascinated by the machinery and how it was built. 

These would be the final parts needed to complete the nullifier I was making..

"Hey Mom!" I called out, catching the attention of the raven-haired woman in front of me. As she turned to me with a smile, I flashed my camera towards her, printing a freshly made photo of them.

"I see.. so there's really nothing to show at first." I analyzed, observing at the small piece of paper that was printed from the camera.

"So.. you're final reward is a camera, huh?" Mom stated, albeit amused at my curiosity for my reward.

"I was just interested in the phenomenon of photographs, since I've only seen them in books... If I had the chance to, I would've wanted to develop one myself." I mentioned enthusiastically.

Looking back at the jaded photo I was holding, it suddenly cleared itself up, and there showed a freezing image of Mama smiling back at me.

"Amazing... it really looks like you've cut a moment in time!" I exclaimed, looking the photo in awe. 

"...About the chemicals.. and Luna, can we do this tomorrow after lunch?" I requested, placing the photo of Mom back onto the table. 

"Yes, that would be fine." Mom agreed. After the report, I exited out the office and entered the dark, empty hallways, hearing the chime of the grandfather clock as everyone was asleep.

'Not sure about Luna and Emma though, wonder what she's doing in the middle of the god damn night..' I thought, hearing the oddly loud noises of Emma and Luna arguing about which ice cream flavor was better than the other, chocolate or vanilla.

Even though we never tried ice cream in all our short life spans-

《"...So it begins, huh." Isabella smirked, crossing off the last day of October from her Calendar.》

"GOD DAMNIT EMMA I'M TELLING YOU CHOCOLATE IS F*CKING BETTER THAN VANILLA!!" 

"LANGUAGE! AND HOW DARE YOU!? VANILLA IS TOTALLY BETTER THAN CHOCOLATE!"

"YOU'RE JUST SAYING THAT BECAUSE IT REMINDS YOU OF MY GOD DAMN BROTHER!" Luna shouted.

"IT DOES NOT! STOP SLANDERING THE FLAVOR OF YOUR HAIR!!" Emma argued.

"SINCE WHEN DOES MY HAIR EVEN TASTE LIKE VANILLA?!" The albino exclaimed.

"-AND ANOTHER THING, HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW THAT?! YOU'VE NEVER EATEN MY HAIR YOU STUPID TANGERINE!!" Luna added

"I'M NOT A TANGERINE!!" Emma retorted loudly.
