[part 2]

Having entered the heaven’s gate, Columbine hides her wings and decides to have a walk till she gets home.“I’m home!” Columbine cried as she gets home. Her mother greets her “Welcome back!” and asks her of how was it. “It went all fine!” Columbine cried, yet, she murmured to herself, “… Sort of…”

“Have your rest for now. You must be tired.” Columbine’s mother said.

“Yes, mother.” Columbine answered.

Ruke goes to his room at fast- as he got home - when he heard a computer game sound coming from his room. Surprised and annoyed, he sees Basilisk playing his programmed game that was just finish lately.

“Back so soon, huh…

 … That’s so unlike you.” Basilisk tells him.  Without hesitation but with rudeness, Ruke spills out, “Who told you to utilize my computer?”

“So, you really didn’t hear me after all. I shouted that I’ll use your computer...”

“Had your strong hearing capability rusted?”  Basilisk teased on Ruke. “Idiot! My ears could only hear within ten miles in diameter. North Pole isn’t a fingertip away from here.”

Basilik pats Ruke’s head, trying to calm his younger brother down.  Ruke makes a crocodile smile on Basilisk, forewarning him, “Lay off your hands, or I’ll pulverize your whole arm.” Basilisk giggles as he moves away from his younger brother. “See you around, my ironically younger brother.”

“Go away…” Ruke said monotonously. Basilisk leaves as soon he was doe sighing.

Columbine has just went out from the institute after submitting her report about her first assignment. On her way home, she happened to pass on a handicrafts shop. Gift giving has come to her mind and takes a look around inside the shop. She has seen a black yarn; without assessment, she buys it with two knits. Getting out from the shop, she frequently looks at the items she bought.

Columbine starts on knitting the black yarn as she got home. She spent almost all of her time on it unless she has thought of doing something else.

Basilisk visits his brother on his [Ruke’s] room.

“You’ve been stuck again in there for quite some time. Why don’t you go out from your cage at least once more?” Basilisk suggested.

“There’s nothing to do outside. Besides, I still have lots of things to work on here.”

“Yeah, right... You and your worn out reasons…” Basilisk blabbed before going out from Ruke’s room.

Three weeks past, Columbine’s knitting has finished. She’s happy about her finished product, but all of a sudden, she realized that she made something that is not the size of anyone on her family. Now, she got an instant problem. “To whom will I give this now?’ she asks herself as she lays flat the knitted black sweater on her bed.

“I guess I have knitted everything quite long…” Columbine said while looking on the sweater.

Denise - Columbine’s older sister - comes in to her room to say that the afternoon snack is ready.   Denise sees the sweater on Columbine’s bed and says, “How morbid… Who among your friends is like that?”

“Actually, I don’t know either why I made that in the first place. Maybe for leisure’s sake I guess...” Columbine tells her.

“Had you met someone new from you first assignment as a full-pledged angel?”
