In the end Ray got a little explanation from Melvin and the explanation really sliced his feelings. The fact that Leon's not coming back, it's really slapping him.
Everyone calms down. Radolf and Ray are in front of Leon's body. While Nevan and Melvin, still in front of Rafa who is now Oliver. The most hysterical is Nevan. He cried bitterly while continuing to say he wanted Rafa back.
He even sometimes begs Oliver to return Rafa. But Oliver knows nothing. He could only remain silent as Nevan vented the grief on him.
Radolf and Ray choose to bury Leon's body. The body that had been cold with a very pale face. No one thought Leon would die like this.
"Stop, Nevan. Rafa won't come back even if you whine for a whole day" Melvin said with a grim face. His eyes were slightly glassy after previously having a chance to cry.
Nevan is not out of place. He continued to hold Oliver's shoulder while hitting his chest slowly. His head was bowed making a circle of tears fall to the ground.
Unheard, Melvin pulls his son's body away from Oliver.
"Hiks.. Let go of me, Dad.. Hix.. I'll get Rafa back. Don't stop the hicks... I..," raved Nevan.
Melvin was silent and still holding his son's body. He could not bear to see it continue like this. Turns out losing Rafa made Nevan this hard. Perhaps because they have been in close contact for a long time, Nevan is unwilling if his brother is replaced by someone else's soul.
So there's no other choice. Melvin hit Nevan's nape pretty hard. What he did caused the boy to faint instantly, "I'm sorry Dad..."
Oliver looked at Melvin and Nevan. He felt guilty even though he did nothing. He himself is still confused by this situation and needs time to adapt. But something like this happened before his eyes. It was as if he had just taken away the happiness of others with his presence, "I'm sorry... I don't know anything."
Melvin smiled softly as he was clearly forced, "It's not your fault, there's no need to apologize."

Oliver chose to follow the people he had just met. He had seen his face on the reflection of the river water that was not far from where it was before. That face was very different from his. The same is just his eyes.
I don't know what's been going on since the original body was taken over. He will ask them everything later and find out the current situation.
After a few hours, they finally reached Felix, Kay, Need, Lym, Nix, Farel and Freed.
Oliver looked around. It turned out that Melvin and the others had many friends. But their bodies are not good. I don't know what just happened before.
Felix stood up and stared one by one at the people who had just arrived. Among them, he did not find the two men he was looking for, "Ray... Where are Leon and Ken? Then Kite.. I didn't see it. Where are they all?"
Nix also just realized there are 3 people missing. Rafa is back, but why are three people not there now?
Everyone lowered their heads, except for Oliver who was still cool to see one by one foreign face. But among them, he saw a familiar face.
"Kite's... Lied. He is Osmond. Then Leon and Ken... They..," Ray took a deep breath. He wanted to say it, but the word seemed stuck in the esophagus and difficult to remove.
"They're gone" Radolf continued, staring one by one there. Their faces looked confused, but some were surprised.
"No... What do you mean by no? Leon and Ken? No way," Kay shook her head and could not believe it. He knows Ray likes to joke, but joking at a time like this is outrageous. Even though the one who says no right now is not Ray.
"That's reality. They're... It's gone" said Ray, staring at Kay with glassy eyes. He was serious about saying this and himself hoped that he was just joking now. But how could he regard today's events as a joke? He buried the bodies of Leon and Ken.
Is that just a joke too?
Kay speechless. He didn't catch the lie from Ray's words just now, "Then where? Where are they now?" his tone was still calm without many face strokes changing. But he is actually in the fog.
On the other hand, Nix, Lym, Freed and Farel were around Melvin carrying his son on the back with Oliver standing beside him.
"Thank God, you survived. I've been worried. I think something bad happened to the chairman and all of you" Lym said with a happy smile.
"But why would Mr Melvin take Nevan like that? Did something happen to her?" nix asked worriedly.
"Your eyes... Why change? You're like a chameleon that can change the color of your skin" Freed added, looking at Oliver.
"Rafa didn't save us" Melvin said between the happy voice and the subordinates.
The speech immediately made a moment of silence, then Lym immediately laughed, "Your joke is not funny, chief. Rafa's right next to you."
"Yes, a joke like that sounds weird" Freed said.
"I'm not kidding. Rafa you see, not him. His soul has changed into someone else. Now that he is Oliver," Melvin replied as he looked at his subordinates.
But unfortunately, what he said was even considered a joke for them. They thought Melvin was being funny to make the situation a little more relaxed.
"Humft... Stop that, chief," Lym laughed while trying to hold him back.
"Does my face look like I'm joking now?"
That resolute voice made the atmosphere turn silent. They looked at each other cluelessly and occasionally looked at Oliver and Melvin, "I mean the chairman?"
"Rafa you see now, not him. Now his soul is Oliver, the soul of a demon in the past. The real Rafa is gone after being stabbed by the demon that took him," Melvin said every word with great emphasis to let everyone know he wasn't joking.
Oliver was speechless as all the humans stared at him intensely. He was even a little nervous as they stared at him fixedly.
"If you still think I'm joking, then don't think I'm your boss anymore."
Melvin walked past all his subordinates with a stern look. He did not want his weak self to be seen by others, let alone his subordinates.
"What he said is true. My name is Oliver."
"W-how can it?! What's going on?!" chirps Freed.
Oliver was confused as to how to say it. He was just telling me something that had just happened. Starting he opened his eyes and saw the reaction of people who were around him.
No one commented. They're all silent and now believe that Rafa is Oliver.
"But this face... Similar to Niel," Oliver's inner silence. "Since I woke up until now, I found two faces similar to someone I knew. Then this body is the same," his mind again.
Once everyone knew the true circumstances, they were more silent. All of them sat separately. To break the silence, Oliver opened his voice, "I-I don't know what's been going on here. Can you tell me what's going on right now?"
Felix pursed his lips. He refused to give an answer. Likewise with Ray who is usually always noisy, now looks calm.
Because no one wanted to make a sound, Need finally told what had happened since this disaster appeared. But when Kite reveals himself and claims to be Oliver, said by Radolf who inevitably still provide an explanation for Oliver to understand.
Oliver listens to all explanations seriously when others are down. He is not unsympathetic and concerned with his curiosity, but he himself does not know what problems they are experiencing. So how can it be entertaining?
In fact, it could be said, his presence even made some of them injured without making him bleed. How could he entertain like that? His presence is undesirable because he takes over a body that is not his.
