"Eugene, are you still in pain?"

Eugene frowned and ruffled Timber's hair.

"Stop worrying about me. I'm just tired earlier, this won't happen again."

Saying that... he's actually scared that he is still affected by the heavens and that he is still restricted despite having thought of breaking the shackles. Who wouldn't? when out of nowhere the voices inside his head started to remind him of those higher existences?

And also, what's up with these red threads floating around?

It's so bothersome to look at, especially since these threads are wrapping him and are moving in waves, floating around.

"Still, you should not move around."

Eugene sigh, Timber was probably scared when he suddenly collapsed. How could he worry Timber like this? Timber shouldn't care too much about him because that will just increase his need to take care of Timber to the point of being unable to control himself.

But strange...

In the past few days he's been thinking of dying, but now...he's actually accepting his reality and just wants to change things and live with it.

"Come to think of it, Timber why would Duke Viltaria visit the academy?"

Timber pouted, "Have you forgotten about the selection? One of the judges would be Duke Viltaria and they have meetings today."

"Really? I've forgotten."

"Really..." Timber sighed, "Anyways you need a rest, better not leave this bed for the time being since the teacher said that your eldest brother would come here."

"Brother Euric? Why?"

"I don't know, maybe about your condition."

Eugene stiffen.

He is still uncomfortable facing his eldest brother and now that he collapse, his brother would probably be worried again which he doesn't like. Making Timber and his brother Euric worried and not what he wanted, so he can't help but hated his weakness.

"I see."

Timber sat on the bedside and lean his head on Eugene's shoulder.

This made the red string floating around wrap both of them.

'What are these annoying threads?'

"Eugene I'm really worried about you. The changes in you keep me questioning everything and I always felt like I neglected you and I didn't know why suddenly I had this feeling of losing you."

"Eh?"

Eugene lowered his gaze and look at Timber's fidgeting fingers.

"I'm afraid, especially when you suddenly collapse."

Eugene bit his lips and hug Timber tightly, feeling guilty for letting Timber feel such a thing. Too bad that he couldn't explain his situation because no one would really believe that one should is capable of traveling in another dimension and that's all? in those thousands of years, he's been suffering without no one to tell his story.

And even if he did meet someone who understand him.

In the end, there is no saving.

He was still killed by the person he trusted the most.

The things that he did to others in the past are coming back to him in ten folds and now, he understands that no one rests in peace. They either curse or favor to experiencing different things.
