Seeing Jake's message even motivates me more that he is doing far more okay. I just need to wait a little longer, still it's 50/50 though. But.. No, I must focus on the bright side. Which means..all my waiting for him is... Worth it.
ʚearlierɞ
sitting on the couch with nothing to do,staring at the ceiling and the phone in my hands.3 days ago, I lost both of my friends. Later, I saw a notification of the person who had been helping me all this time after that incident. He consulted a fortune teller, I didn't want to believe at it. But, what could go wrong? Right?... I mean.. My life had already been torn apart.

MC?
Can we meet?
I have something to discuss with you.
ʚPresentɞ
I am now at the redlog pines.this place is small and giving me the familiar sensation, much more like duskwood. I arrived in redlog pines. 5 hrs earlier after our first conversation with that unknown number of a man. The feeling came creeping through me again. I will never make the same mistake wherein I just sit back in my couch at the comfort of my home while all the people close to me get suffered. Because of me.
I walked through the streets and encountered a man silhouette walking not far away at the opposite of me. A shiver went down on my spine and I paused staring at the silhouette. While it just keeps on coming towards me with a steady pace.
The man approach me and I saw him. It was Eric. Probably he's from the woods.
Eric:MC? Is that you?
MC:yeah
Eric:thought so.. You look the same at your profile picture.
Mc:you made it out?
Eric:yeah.. It was hard especially that encounter of that unknown guy.
Mc:don't remind me. I'm still shaking about it.
Eric:you warned me though. I'm thankful.
Anyway, how do you know this place.. You
said-
Mc:I know what I said. And no.. I'm not from here.
I just came here and knows it by searching the
place and thought I must help you guys.
Eric:oh... We should go to Charlie's house. You
know the one he said at the group's chat?
MC:of course.
ʚCharlie's homeɞ
We arrived at Charlie's house, it's not that big but not that small either, just a normal looking house. Eric knock and the door opened and instead of Charlie opening it. It was another person. It was ash.
Ash's expression when she saw me is... Well.. Shocked. She then opened the door wide for us to come in and we went in. She lead us to the living room where Charlie is.
Charlie looked up and smiled.
Charlie:Eric!! Ma boy... You finally came
Ash:someone else is also here...you moron
Charlie:what do you mean? I already greeted you.
I then woved my hands and then he turned to me and I smiled innocently. He then, change his expression to shocked and embarrassed.
Charlie:who are you?
....
Charlie:hold on.. You look familiar...
....
MC:am I that easy to forget?
...
....
Charlie:nope.. I don't quite grip it.
Ash:it's MC.. You...
Charlie:MC!! Now I know.. Hold on... MC?!!!! THE.. MC?!!!
Ash facepalm herself and shook his head in disbelief.
