Na-Ri walked past Jun-Hee halfway back to the youth centre, her thoughts mixed and one kept popping into her head.
She had no dream.
At eight o'clock today, she had no dream, because she was dead. She couldn't dream in death. However, Eun-Ha...why did Eun-Ha die? Na-Ri was voted out, not her, and Na-Ri thought she was saved.
But apparently not.
She had a bitter feeling on the tip of her tongue that she had failed again.
But she ignored it and focused on Jun-hee instead.
She wondered how she could help him, make him feel a little better.
Na-Ri didn't think she could, they were in a death game, their classmates were dropping like flies, and Na-Ri wasn't Yoon-Seo to make Jun-Hee's mood jump from one to two.
Yoon-Seo is probably still in the gym, where Na-Ri didn't want to escort Jun-Hee back to.
Her gaze locked on the statue as they entered the lobby.
She still didn't know why the statue was there, what it was called, or what it represented. Nor its history, as there was no plaque to read.
But there was the statue. She sat with her hands folded in her lap and looked in front of her.
Those who made this statue remembered her, even if she nothing else was left behind. She had no name, no age, no backstory, but there was the statue of her in the lobby of the Muryeong Youth Centre.
It gave Na-Ri an idea.
"Jun-Hee-ah," she said softly, her hand clutching Jun-Hee's shirt. "How about a memorial for the others?" she asked as she looked at the statue and she looked at Jun-Hee.
. . .
Jun-Hee concentrated as he wrote with a pencil on the post holding up the ceiling. He carefully moved the graphite across the white surface, trying to write as neatly as possible.
