1. Hide.
You kneel beside the lifeless bodies of your biological father and Nita, with Rena standing at a distance. Lara and Ginny stand by your side, you close your eyes and utter your final words of farewell to them.
"Dad, you were the worst father any child could have, yet may you rest in peace."
"Nita, I loved you more than anyone else. I always wanted to be with you, but I never imagined my mom would marry your dad. Nevertheless, I cherish the love you shared with me at the end. Thank you for that. Please rest in peace," you whispered solemnly.
After uttering your final words for both of them, you heard a sweet humming emanating from Rena. Glancing to your right, you saw her lost in her thoughts, softly singing a few lines aloud.
♪♪♪ ...The start of the end... ♪♪♪
♪♪♪ ...The rise of the dead... ♪♪♪
♪♪♪ ...Their voices echo, stirring fear in the strong... ♪♪♪
♪♪♪ ...In the shadows, what horrors lie in wait... ♪♪♪
♪♪♪ ...We hide to stay alive... ♪♪♪
♪♪♪ (beautiful pleasant humming) ♪♪♪
♪♪♪ ...The start of despair... ♪♪♪
♪♪♪ ...Uncertain when it will end... ♪♪♪
♪♪♪ ...Is death a boon in this world... ♪♪♪
♪♪♪ (A haunting hum filled with sorrow) ♪♪♪
♪♪♪ ...The coward lacks... THE Will to DIE... ♪♪♪
♪♪♪ ...Is this THE END OF THE BEGINNING... ♪♪♪
You, Lara, and Ginny exchanged somber glances as you observed Rena.
You spoke softly to yourself, "She poured out her pain, her fear, and everything she's experienced through that song."
Rena wiped away her tears and opened her eyes, revealing a bright smile on her face.
Ginny and Lara approached her, embracing her in a comforting hug. you talk to yourself, 'This could be the start of something new, just like she said.'
You felt a sense of relief as you watched the girls hug and share a laugh, but then a realization struck you: you hadn't even introduced yourselves, and aside from Rena, you didn't know their names.
Interrupting their moment, you asked, "Hello, what are your names?"
Lara's surprise and embarrassment were evident, prompting laughter from Ginny and Rena. Rena quipped, "You might be the first woman to propose to a boy without telling your name."
"Stop," Lara protested, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "You two don't need to laugh at me for this little oversight," she added, Rena attempting to stifle her laughter.
Watching their playful banter, you couldn't help but reflect on how easily the world could strip away moments of happiness and joy.
You thought to yourself, 'Sooner or later, we'll have to leave this place. We never know when they might attack. But for now, let's allow them a few more minutes of happiness.'
As the three girls engaged in their playful banter, you decided to interrupt and take charge of the introductions. "Alright, let me kick off the introductions," you interjected. "I'm Sam, from Class 2B."
