Fly Until You See The Light

Passage - Chapter 8

Today is the day of the Lesson of Coordination, the day of the third class of the Passage.

Sentinekka came late, so she didn't hear the Guide's words. Symphony explained to her what they have to do. They must go to the Butterfly Fields in the Daylight Prairie, find a mask that represents a monkey, and start a weird and exciting activity: they have to guide different masks inside various bubbles to the right place. Also, the student that the Guide chose today as a "leader" is Joyz, who looks joyful but a little insecure about what he has to do. That's why he is staying beside Horand and his siblings.

«You... What?!» Symphony exclaims, surprised. They're both completing the Lesson, but they always have the time to talk. Sentinekka just told Symphony why Sentinekka was so late.

Sentinekka lets out a nervous giggle. «Yea...» she comments.

When she went into the Cave of Prophecies, that morning, Ojtaro hadn't still start his Trial... So she gave him a "lucky charm", a head accessory made of blue and golden flowers from different areas of the Prairie. She just wanted to help Oj' with his Trials... Right?

«How.... Do you see Ojtaro, in these days?» Symphony immediately asks her.

Sentinekka replies:«As a friend!».

Symphony shakes her head and chuckles, covering her mouth with her right hand.

«What?».

«I've never asked "how" in that way. I meant "how do you think he's doing?"».

«Oh».

Symphony sighs. «Do you like him?».

While they push that bubble, Sentinekka sighs too. «I think I do...» she says, blushing under her traditional mask.

«You know I don't mind, right?».

«You don't?».

«I can't decide who you should like or not. But don't expect me to change my attitude with him».

Sentinekka smiles. She hugs Symphony, who reciprocate until she exclaims, amused:«Sen', the bubble! It's going away!».

And they both run to get it back, while laughing as the other Children like them do.
