The Remnant hit the brakes, hard. A prickle ran up his spine.
His brothers kept going, as if instructed to do so, racing ahead and disappearing over the horizon.
...something js watching him. Something that he knows should not be.
Eyes that do not ๐๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ , staring from afar โฆ
His humanity showing in a peculiar way ; his distaste for vehicles , perhaps that makes him a โold manโ but he prefers flying or simply walking โฆ
But nevertheless . . .
Eyes , sแดแดสษชษดษข...
โ Cookies... โ She smiles, โ Give some to dolly...she likes them. โ
Her wound has healed. But the pain remains. Thankfully, Junji is very good with kids!
" alright .แ.แ Iโll make some cookies too . . . If you want some , obviously . "
She didnโt mind being a distraction . . Baking and cooking would always be a simple solution .
" you want me to make โem .แฃ
I think my spicy noodles might be The best of alllll time .แ.แ "
She grinned confidently , her grip staying consistently strong to make sure The Girl knew . .
She wouldnโt let her fall into the darkness .
No hand shall clasp another,
yet the price shall be accepted.
The dead shall remember hunger.
The sleeping will not know rest.
The Mother without a shell shall answer her call, though she hides within a hero's soul.
And the Child.
She shall leave her name upon the threshold.
" yeah .แฃ whatcha hungry for .แฃ "
She smiled gently , her hand now carefully wrapping around The Girls .
She was always going to protect her with her own life .
As she gently began to pluck the thorns and bandage The Girlโs foot , she hummed softly .
" itโs okay . . I donโt blame you .
Youโre not in trouble , and I know aunt โ โ โ โ wonโt be mad either .
. . . How about we get you a treat .แฃ "
The Girl looked down at her legs, swallowing back tears. โ ...I was looking...for her. โ
The only injury of major concern is a jagged cut on her ankle. The bite of a thorn bush, maybe?
She immediately put out her cigarettes , now digging into her purse and grabbing bandages .
" oh my goodness . . . What happened . . "
Her entire demeanor changed within seconds .
Maybe because she did care about a few people deep down .
She approached timidly!
Her feet were stained red, her legs pricked and scraped by thorns. She's been walking in places she shouldn't be.
โ ...hi. โ
