Chapter 018.1: She is Binary Nightengale

“...............”

“...............”

Lucy and I are still in an awkward situation. We never talked ever since then. She's been staying here with me, though. And both of us are uncomfortable with it.

But luckily for her, unfortunately for me, Douche hasn't shown up ever since.

It's already 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Should I break our awkwardness? Our atmosphere is starting to become a minor annoyance for me.

*Bam*

Someone, a small and petite young elementary student, breaks into my room. She's wearing the uniform of the school I graduated from. I believe she's in sixth grade, according to the blue chord of her ID. She looks troubled. Her eyes are very red, and it's obvious she cried so much on her way here.

“Ate!!”

Ate?

“Binary... What are you doing here?” Lucy finally lifts her head up.
