Reader's POV

I skipped over to Ray and Emma. 
Ray looked over to me and gave me a smile.

"I don't want to kill the demons. But I don't want my friends to get eaten either.
What now, Ray? Y/n? I don't know what I should do,"
Emma said, she looked panicked as she turned to us.

Now this is what I didn't want to talk about...
I just wanted everything to work out and all of us to be happy.

"I don't either,"
Ray then said.

Emma's jaw dropped and I tilted my head.

"You're right. The Seven Walls route is a stand-still. But even if we run away to the human world... they might pursue us or cause a war. It poses a huge risk,"
Ray started.

"Now that we know that humans are an indispensable food source to demons because of their characteristics... if we want to save all of the children raised as food, no matter what, Norman's method is the only way.
We can't do anything. There's no room for argument. Norman's right."
I almost smiled, but I kept a blank, confused face to please Ray.

"Yeah. Well, for now, there's nothing you can do,"
Ray said, putting a hand on her shoulder with a smile.

Emma's face dropped.
"Wait, what? I don't get it.
Then why did you ask me how I feel?
Don't you have a solution?!"

"Nope."
He answered.
I hid my face in his chest, hiding my giggles from Emma.

"Any advice?! Criticism?!"
She exclaimed.

"None whatsoever,"
He said, running a hand through my hair.

"Then you didn't have to expose them!! Don't dig up my true feelings that I buried, you jerk!!"
Emma told him.

"But they came out so easily,"
Ray told her.

"Huh?!"

"Your true feelings. They came out immediately.
If you're going to bury your true feelings, then take them with you to your grave, no matter what. Like bu-Y/n does,"
Ray said.

I looked up at him, narrowing my eyes.
"I do not,"
I said.

He placed a finger on my lips.
"I know you. Shush,"
He said and I did.

Emma tilted her head.

"But you can't just give up, right? I know you."
Ray said, pointing at her with his index finger.

"You won't be able to hold them in, and they'll multiply and explode in the end,"
I said softly.
I have known Emma for years, of course I know that much.

"And in your case, it's probably going to come out at the worst possible time... and you're going to interfere in the most troublesome way,"
Ray said and she tensed up, gritting her teeth.

"When that happens, you and everybody else will be in danger. It'll cause huge problem for Norman and be a hassle for Y/n and me,"
He continued. I deadpanned, turning to Emma and shaking my head on my behalf.

"If you're not convinced, you should confront him directly. Especially because this is a crucial decision.
If you let it go, you're going to regret it for sure. Worst case, it could affect you for life."
Ray said.
