Counter 3: Murky Image

Twenty-ninth day of Sat’xahr, Jeti’zien

Past six in the morning

The academy’s cafeteria

“That person,” Primrose says while looking away from her brother. Duke turns in her direction while placing the tray with three cheese breads and two tetra packs of milk down on the table. “Azalea, she seems so close to us but she is somewhat unreachable.”

There are very few students in the cafeteria during the weekends’ early morning. Most students take their time to sleep more. Only those who have weekend duties or club activities takes the effort to leave their bed and start their day early. For that reason some students from the red zone chooses to have their meal here.

Duke pauses while looking around. “Isn’t that the reason why she opened up a little?” He recalls the conversation they had with Smash and the things Azalea revealed about herself.
