-Central Colony-
In the central colony, the nighttime landscape turned into a profound silence after a designated hour, the moment when the guards went out to patrol.
But in this case, they weren't just any guards.
They were my own parents.
And what seemed like such a quiet night was interrupted by a great commotion.
A Terran boy stealing a piece of bread.
Yes, it was wrong according to the rules.
But the boy seemed to need it, and despite this, the guards and the people of the royalty ignored him.
He was hungry, he must have thought of stealing as a last resort.
I started to get scared when I saw that my father had no intention of talking and began to aim a weapon at him.
The element of Flaria, besides providing light, was also feared for its ability to cause pain, often used as a weapon by those in power.
My parents.
He wasn't going to use such a weapon on a child, was he?
The moment my father whispered something to my mother, I froze.
My father was going to kill him.
He was really going to do it.
And I was going to see it all.
At that moment, I felt time stop, and I really didn't think about what I did next.
I headed towards the door.
I wasn't going to let my parents do something to a child, not something like this.
I turned the knob and crossed the doorway.
I was seeing the scene, took a deep breath, took five steps, and it happened.
I heard a loud bang and the sound of a child screaming in pain.
