Bliss saw her father at the corner part of the laboratory. Lying at a wooden chair, eyes open and bubbles in his mouth. The king is holding something on his hands. And Bliss don't know but she is exhilarated on what her father is holding. The other 3 emojis are also shocked. Rage saying curses, Ave ran to the nearest sink and vomit for real. And Gloom, crying again.
Bliss walk towards her father, she put her hand on her father's mouth particularly to the bubbles and smelled it.
"Mercury." She said more than to herself and picked something-like paper on the King's hand. She is not feeling anything because happy thoughts are continously invading her mind that she didn't care about her father. When she take a look on the thing that her father was holding, it is a picture. A picture of a baby with her father's arm, a 4 year old girl, and a woman. She is about to smile because she saw a happy family in a picture though she don't know who are they, when she heard Rage frustrated shout.
"How the hell is this thing function?!" Bliss immediately went to the spreader and as what she said, there's a manual on its side. But the spreader already has the C.E.S and she don't know how to remove it. Later on, the spreader is starting to shake.
"No, it can't be!" She shouted and scan the manual to see how the C.E.S will be removed.
Moments after the spreader just stop and Bliss looked amazingly at the spreader. 'How did it stop' she asked to herself, only to answer actively by Ave.
"This room have a lot of idiots who doesn't know how to use their minds properly." Ave said while holding a socket-like thing.
"You're brilliant Aversion!" Bliss said with triumphant and Ave just rolled her eyes. Ew, Ave mouthed.
Bliss started getting the O.C.E.S on her bag and follow the directions that the manual says her to do how to remove and insert solution in it. And when done, she injected the socket-like to its corresponding place and pressed the green button in the spreader.
The spreader began to shake, it produced a sound that pains their ears and they covered their ears. They closed their eyes because the spreader is beaming too strong for their eyes to handle. Suddenly the ground where they are standing began to shake, rhyming the shake of the spreader and Bliss hugged her father obliviously that is near to where she was standing.
After some moments, the shaking stopped including the spreader. And their surroundings were filled with smoked-like perfume that suit the like of their noses, not too strong and not too sweet, just enough for their taste. And when it was done. Everything went back to normal. The laboratory, the spreader, the emojis, it was like as if there was no shaking happened a while ago. Bliss opened her eyes and saw her father at her front, lying cold and poisoned. She shout at horror
"Father!"
Bliss look around her and she saw Rage, looking at her with sympathy in his eyes. Ave, the same with Rage. And Gloom, staring at her, freed of tears but with also sympathy. She looked around her and everything just went to normal like there's no shaking happened earlier. Everything went back to normal except her father. Her father, still not breathing. For the first time of her life, she felt a tear flowed down to her left cheek. Not only a tear but tears continuously flowing down on her cheeks. She cried and hugged her father too tightly that she hope her hug might wake up the King.
"No, Father! No!!! My King, Our King of Movare wake up, my lord! Your princess is waking you up!"
She cried her heart out for she don't know what she will do to her emotions. She can't handle the mixed emotions she is feeling right now. Anger and disgust to herself, she shouldn't let this happened! And fear that she will live her life alone. Without her father who loved and will love her with all her imperfections and damages. She wiped her tears but tears are mischievous and it just didn't stop. She look at the photo she was holding and read the note on its back.
Forgive me, Bliss and Worry. I loved and will always love you both. The answer is in the cabinet next to the spreader, Bliss. I am thankful that I had a daughter like you.
Love, King Emo, your father.
