" Why are you so worried, right now?", the brown haired young man asked, raising his voice.

Rae took multiples step back.

" You guys are pranking me, right?"

In response, he grabble a kettle in the kitchen and presented her to a table that was already set. Two cups were already placed there, despite the fact no one moved in that short span of time.

" What is going on there?", she asked worrily.

He started pouring the contenant of the ketlle into the recipients on the table.

" Huh,Hello? I am talking to you."

He finally answered:

" What is happening does not matter. Since I consumed that tea, i feel a lot better."

He pointed to some bag that popped up hazardly on the table.

" Where did that thing come from? It wasn't there before!", she shouted.

He seemed disapointed.

" Come sit down before the rain drench you"

" What rain are you talking about? I'm pretty sure it's really sunny outside. Besides, what's up with your weird speech pattern today. You're usually not that proper. "

His voice started echoing trough the room, as he cackled to his heart content.

" Stop it. It's not funny, you're scaring me...."

This remark made him smile.

" Oh, what feeble mind you have, to just be scared by the mere sight of a kettle and some tea."

" STOP TALKING LIKE THAT,PLEASE!"

" Don't you wanna feel liberated too? Drink it and all the worries right now may disappear."

" WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN? WHY DO YOU WANT ME TO DRINK IT THAT MUCH?"

He crossed his legs and looked at her. A mocking expression drawing on his face as his irises turned diamond blue.

" Doesn't it bother you when it rains?"

" What is that supposed to mean?"

" It's not that complicated to reach an answer to? Don't worry about it."

"...."

" For example, let's say you were born into this world as of today, what would be the most common thing to do as an human being?"

She tought for a second, without really getting where he was getting at.

" Cry , I suppose....Why are you asking me this?"

" I simply feed on answer, for I can see all that is unique to human unique conscious. "

She got more and more scared. Considering the ridiculousness of the situation, settled on thinking this was on the paranormal end of the spectrum.

" Why are you possessing my friend,ghost?"

The manical laugh intensified, roared, as he grabbed one of her hand.

" Hum?"

" To compare me to such triviality as a ghost, tough I do expect such thing from human mind for I am born within.."

" You're talking nonsense again. I ask again, why are you possessing my friend? I like him better when he's joking around. "

" Well, drink it,then. Unless the cowardice you have at the moment prevent you to do so? Moreover, the point of the question was missed. "

He pointed at himself.

" You see your friend here figured it out. Even when I had already the upper hand in his state of mind, he in a attempt to prevent you from a supposed danger, made you soundly worry about a trivial matter simple by changing one of the component of this game. However, I do not intend to harm you or rather as long as you stay calm."

This situation was starting to get on her nerves and patience. This ominous conversation and those words uttered by this face made her feel uncomfortable. Even so, she wanted to get back the one she knew.

" Well, how do I make you go away, whatever you are. This face and those words don't match up together too well. "

" So you accept to play?"

She didnt like the sound of calling it playing but it seemed like she had no choice but to accept the evil sounding proposition.

" If you give him back, ok."

The former kind man then separated his hand from her, as white board appeared on their side. He then wrote three words on the board: Recipient, ******gs, Azure.

" I already gave you enough hints in our little chit chat. If you managed to get to the mystery words and understand what I am, then my existence shall be shattered. Besides, you have no choice or I take the soul of everyone here."

She had no choice but to accept. Armed with the hints he gave her and the knowledge of the board, she had to reach the answer to release everyone here.
