"Don't lock Pennhung up!" echoed all over Rain's brain as she remembered the encounter with her parents.

They were given permission to go see him. Rain, Maki and White wasted no time. Just as the classes got over, they sprinted to the room Pennhung was locked in.

And it was when she heard it. Again. "Don't lock Pennhung up! Pennhung apologized already."

Rain ran inside to comfort her brother, Maki and White right after her.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm here." she told her as she sat next to him. She gently pushed him out of the corner so he doesn't feel claustrophobic. "Pennhung, Pennhung, we're here. Breathe." she told him over and over again.

"Rain! It's here, she's here!" Maki told them. "This is Maki." Maki stated as she had her hand on his shoulder. "And White."

Rain slowly pulled his hands away from his beanie and hugged him sideways, "See, your friends are here to see you." Rain told him gently as he began calming down. "Calm down, deep breaths. Deep breaths. I'm Rain, Maki and White are here too." she told him.

She hated seeing her brother like this. It broke her heart. "Pennhung's friends." Maki nodded.

Pennhung looked up. "Rain. White. Maki." He stated as he acknowledged their presence.

Rain nodded.

"Are you three being punished too?" he asked. The boy was still shaking, but put a hand on top of Rain's.

Rain shook her head. "No." White stated, "We brought you snacks." she told him, smiling slightly. She handed him food wrapped in paper towels, "It's the croissant you like."

Pennhung accepted it and quickly opened it and began eating. "Wednesday's dinner is delicious. Wednesday's breakfast isn't." he stated as he offered some to Rain, who shook her head.

"Pennhung, you remember it?" White asked. "You have such a good memory."

Rain nodded proudly, "He remembers everything."

Pennhung nodded at White's words, "Master Amin also said that." he stated. "He said I'm gifted. My memory can be my weapon."

"What?" Rain asked, "what does he mean by that? Does he want us to take part in wars?" Rain shook her head as she realised she was getting carried away. "Why would he say that?"

Pennhung shook his head. "Pennhung doesn't know either. Pennhung doesn't find it useful. Pennhung already told him that, the duck died wasn't Baby Duck." he said.

"What did you say, Pennhung?" White asked.

Pennhung began explaining, "My Baby Duck had a stain on it's left leg. White's Pierre had the most pointed beak, it's the second largest after Mork's Asparagus. Rain's Bo 3 had the lightest feathers. Maki's Narak was round. It had a mark on it's right wing."

Rain sighed, "why do I think someone did something and framed Pennhung?" Rain muttered.

"Pennhung, do you know whom the duck that died belonged to?" Maki asked.

Pennhung shook his head. "No, Pennhung doesn't know. Pennhung hasn't seen it before."

The three girls shared a look.
