The Escape Isn't Close

《Chapter 4》Forbidden: memories

Milno got out of bed early today. It was around 6 a.m. Damn this guy... I got up after he left the room and followed him.

He went to the library again. What, does he have some fascinating book there? I don't know what he's doing here, but I think...he's speaking to someone. I heard a wierd noise last time so I suppose that can be an option.

-Vefurio, I know you're here... he suddenly said, which made me jump.
-HOW IN THE NAME OF-
-I have cameras around here. You see...this place isn't exactly a library.
-Then...what is it?
-It's a hideout for my secret. Do you want to know what I'm doing here? he said, at which the response was only a nod since I didn't think I could open my mouth.
-I am talking to the people outside...asking for help. I found someone who might help us all get revenge on these people that made us this way and sent us here because we wouldn't turn back.
-One question Milno.
-Hm?
-How come I don't look much like you guys?
-...You...didn't exactly do as they said.
-Disobidience? I disobeyed them?
-Yeah.
-How do you know?
-I was there. We were all there. All that are in this house. Mona, Melimo, Corho...we were there.
-What about Curia?
-...
-Milno?

-She wasn't one of us. She was opposing them and they drugged her to be on their side. She wanted to help you "escape", right? It was just their plan. Since you didn't want the liquid they gave us, they made Curia help them to make you die...
-Still doesn't answer my-
-The way you look is because they got a bit of the liquid in you anyway. They kind of...forced it in a drink that, turned out  that you didn't like after all, so you didn't drink much, but a tiny bit.

-How do you remember all that?
-I am the only one. They all know about why and what we're doing here, but they don't know how they got here, what happened before they got here and why you look humane. I don't know how...but they don't know much about normal humans...
-That's...like a forbidden memory of ours.
-Hahaha, sure. I guess you can put it like that. Now, let's talk to the girl. he said motioning me to come sit down on the chair next to him.
-Girl? I say walking towards the chair.
-Yes. Her name is Theo. She's pretty funny if you ask me. You'll like her.
-Okay. Let's see who this girl is!

*Milno? What's up? The message from yesterday...what do you mean we? Are there other people?

^ Hello Theo. Yes, there are many people. I see that you haven't destroyed the device.

*Why would I do that? You guys need help. I like adventures and mysteries. I wouldn't have destroyed it even it would've killed me.

^Now now, don't say that.

*Hey! It's true hahahahaha. So, how many of you are there exactly?
