//Sector 9, Subjects Quarters. Mary POV\\
We shut off, it seems we are giving her a headache with our verbal fights.
"You. When she is thinking of you, it makes you feel as if she is staring at you." Angela looked at the demon girl and asked.
"Yes."
"What is your name? I can't call you a demon girl."
"My name is Shova!"
So, Shova is the demon girl's true name.
Angela looked at me with a tired expression without asking, I said, "My name… is Mary. And sometimes if people intend to do things to me even before they do it I can see it happening."
She smiled with melancholy and then chuckled.
"Which one of you wants my feather? It will block your power from one another."
I looked at her with a blank expression. What did she mean?
"I will take it." The demon girl said.
Angela extends her hand with a bird's feather on it. The moment the demon girl held it, I felt like I was free.
My fear of her and the dog that used to appear in my room vanished.
Angela looked at me and said, "You want one too?"
"No, I don't trust. But I will ask if I will take one."
"Whatever!" She said and turned back to her room, then she turned back and looked at us.
"You wake me again through your rukus. I will beat you up before Madam 9 reaches here!!"
We all shuddered with fear. Demon gir… I mean Shova's dog vanished as if escaping before the girl herself ran away.
As for me, I don't know when I pushed myself back closing the door along the way while I fell on my back.
I didn't feel pain because I was occupied by the fear in me.
Who is that woman?
I don't know her, never did I ever see her anywhere but my gut feeling said I have known her long ago, it's just that I can't remember.
Even with me seeing her, I can't sense her with my powers!!

//Sector 7, Director Khan Office. Susan POV\\
"Insignificance we are but as long as we are alive we can move forward!
Sad, the world is a sad place, only smart ones can find happiness within!
Lost!
Lost, never to be found!
Death we will embrace at some time!
Yet, we fear it!
Knowledge should create a humble man, not arrogance!
Stupid scientism breed pride and arrogance instead of fear and carefulness!
Hehe!
Haha!
Death and destruction are our doing!
We bring it!
We bleed, and we deserve it!
Salvation?
Hahahahahaha!
Man and salvation is unlikely!
We built the castle with our hands!
We build the pits and underground terror with our hands!
What right do we have to complain!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Ignorance is bliss!
Cosmos or Abyss!
The idiots wouldn't understand!
God!! Hehe!
We are on a placid island of ignorance, but shall we gaze at the abyss or shall we remain ignorant of….
Damn, the....
Beast. Humans will fall by its gaze alone!
Haha, advancement of technology or ability users what a laughable endeavour!
Stars shuddered, who are you to be arrogant!!!"
...
These are all jumbled up, but when you read it, it carries something ominous and dreadful.
I looked up to Director Khan. He seems to be in his long thinking process. As for my brother Sam, he was trembling, for all likely he can feel the emotion emanating from these words.
At first glance, the writing doesn't make sense but the Aura they carry is something to observe.
A surreal voice said, "What kind of Negative emotion does it give?".
That is Director 9 voice. We are in with her it was from her that the whispers were translated. I don't know who did it but it was a good job.
"Fear… dread… inconsequential, existential dread… terror… absolute death… abyss…"
With each word Sam uttered, he shudders more and more as if narrating to himself.
"You can stop," Director 9 said.
She looked at me and asked, "What among it carries anything positive."
Without thinking I blurted out, and pointed at, "God! Hehe."
I might be a religious person but why does the answer sound out of place to me. The first two sentences may likely be the only positive.
Because the word God was accompanied with a weird laugh. But the two-sentence,
"Insignificance we are but as long as we are alive we can move forward.
Sad, the world is a sad place, only smart one can find happiness within"
It shows how people should move forward in the sad world but why "God! Hehe."
"In a more significant explanation, God refers to Hope. Something that you wished to attain yet it was nowhere in sight.
Something that you can't calculate but just wait indefinitely with no reason, no evidence that it will ever happen.
Just like a man that wanted to be rich but sat at home just waiting for some good fortune to fall on his plate.
Most often, that is a stupid endeavour but there are certain instances that out of nowhere he may be gifted with money or he may find a treasure.
In reality, Hope is majorly attributed to luck but, in truth, is just meaningless thinking of achieving something that you have no evidence of attaining." Director khan explained.
"What is your intake on that word?" Director 9 asked Sam.
"It falls in the aspect of… melancholy and… reaching the unreachable, trying to obtain something that you cannot see, touch or proof it exists through clear tangible means, but still strive to reach it.
Things might be confusing but this was required for the plots. As the Whispers contain a lot of information that will result in what the synopsis said will happen to the MC.
Angela also is very vital to the whole story, but I don't know if she will be the enemy of the MC or a friend.
