The Last Era's

Act 16 [After Friend's Passage]

New morning a new atmosphere, as the old saying goes. We did what was best. Even if we are called one by one, we must surrender. Because it is human nature.

"Don, you still read the paper?"

"Oh morning, Rin", "These papers are interesting to me".

"Are you reading a lot of books, right?"

"Hahaha, yes, you want to read?"

"I'm tired of reading books."

"Yes, it's okay".

"Well, you two are really old-fashioned" "Gini's day still reading paper" said Linda who still hasn't tied her hair.

"For Lin", "You just woke up?"

"Not really".

"Shina's still mad at me?"

"Yes" "But I told him to clean his room".

"That's it..."

"Where else is Lin?", asked Arina suddenly.

"Mabel's the same Nadia bought a meal, and Ramko has recently become more protective with her friend".

"Hmm, okay".

"Doctor where?"

"She said there's some business outside".

My hatred for Doctor Jassen is still there, especially us men. It's like he doesn't have a heart anymore. We thought of him as our own father.

Shina walked past us, both her hands stuffed against me with a cold look. He reached into his pocket and threw a photo at me, then walked out. The picture contains a character I don't know his name.

"Who is this, Lin?", I asked

"I think I've seen it for a while" he said, tracing the photo through his phone.

"His name is Samus, a fictional character from a 1900s game".

"Like my rifle" I said as I formed a rifle in my hand.

"Yes, he's just wearing a robot costume, just like you wear a scarf".

"It seems like I need to have a quick chat with Shina" I said as I stood up.

I went to talk about my problem with Shina. I saw him standing in the backyard holding both of his hands. From his hand came out a blue colored flame to the whirl of dissertation splashing sound. He looked up at the sky and turned back at me.

"Shin, how are you?"

"Ah, not bad", "Not good" he said while putting out the fire.

"The weather's bright, huh?"

"Well, that's it".

"By the way", "Do you forgive me?"

"Hm", he answered while nodding his head.

"May he rest in peace".

"Hopefully".

Shina looked at me and reached into her pocket. Then he threw a picture at me and said, "Capture this".

"It's the year 4000, Shin", "Where the paper is no longer used".

"Look at that photo!"

"Photo?"

I was curious about his words. After I saw the contents of the photo, I was amazed because there were photos of all of us, which had been scrawled with ink. I remember we've never been in a photo together before.

"Where did you get this?"

"That's a secret", "Obviously, only you can solve the mystery of the photo", he replied as he walked past me and entered the house.

"Shin, what does this mean?", "Shina, oy!"

But he didn't answer my question. I then put the photo in my pocket and walked in as if I didn't know anything.

Back at the place, I saw Arina and Linda playing around with their elements. Linda forms a small whirlwind, then the wind is frozen by Arina. It seems they are both bored, and reluctant to play with their cellphones.

Shina came again while carrying a hair tie.

"Newspaper Shin?", asked Arina.

Linda's brave enough to see Shina for no reason I know. He then approached Linda and gave the hair tie to Linda.

"Tie your hair with this thing".

"Yes.ma.kasih", he replied timidly.

"Do I need to tie?", she asked coldly

"No, no need".

Arina then looked at me with a sullen look. His brows furrowed, his mouth bulging while leaning his body towards me.

"Why you?", I asked.

"I thought you could pair up" said the doctor from a distance.

"No, no" Arina panicked.

"I'm going to go to the room to rest".

"Ok doc".

Me and Shina pretended not to see. We still need time to adjust the conditions. To get rid of the emotion I thought of taking a short walk with Arina.

"Rin, you want to get out?"

"Eh?!"

"Coches eh? If you want to come!".

"You two want to come?"

"Yes bo-".

Linda immediately snubbed it as a code to refuse.

"I want to be home", "Lazy out".

"Yes me too", Linda continued.

"Huh, you guys".

My eyes saw Arina's face flushed like a tomato. So I asked him,

"Rin, are you sick?".

"It's not healthy" he replied with a flash.

"Oh okay".

"Milandge".

"Make what?".

"I hate to be asked by reporters later", "If the journalist is okay".

"alright".

"Wear glasses don't be black".

"OKs".

Arina and I went to their rooms to get changed. After changing clothes, I went to wait for him at the exit. While waiting I prepared a 2-wheeled skateboard that I just bought 4 days ago and have never used.

"Sorry later".

"Yes ga-", "Your shirt is that rich?", I asked Arina who was dressed like a date.

"How cool is it?", replied Ramko from behind Arina.

"You, can you get rid of that too happy trait of yours?"

"Without being happy, my life will wither and decay".

Ramko then approached me and whispered to me, "Don't come home tonight huh", with his cynical smile.

"Well, what do you think I want?"

"Who knows, look at the star rich nights first".

"Not going to be that rich, forget it!", "Where are Mabel and Nadia?"

"Udah go in first".

"What are you talking about?"

"Then I say goodbye".

"Come, Rin".

I also left the house on foot. More precisely I forgot to put on my skateboard and fate put it in front of the house. Arina's riding her skateboard, but it doesn't matter if I'm on my skateboard or not.

We walked all the way to the city park. There many children play, the garden is also clean even in the autumn. The color of the garden becomes beautiful with the dominance of yellow and orange.

Do not miss the colorful flower garden. The pets look happy here too. The atmosphere is like old times, it's just that there are a lot of robots in this park.

I finally got to a park bench long enough for three people. I told Arina to sit down first. Before sitting down I took a long breath of relief. My eyes unintentionally I glanced at Arina who looked nervous.

I'm sure Arina must be unwell. It was my fault to take her out, not to mention the air was cold. I use all my energy to be sensitive. Finally an idea came to my head.

My scarf floated around Arina's forehead. Instantly his face flushed hot. After quite a long time Arina finally spoke up, although stammering.

"Don, have you ever washed your scarf?"

So stabbing.

"Of course, even once in a while I take it off" I replied with a slight laugh.

"Thank God".

"Thankful why?"

"I can make this scarf last longer" Arina replied as she held the scarf with both hands.

I don't know why, when he held the scarf it was the scarf.

She looks so sweet.
