|"I placed a white veil on a field of endless red and I saw something falling a cold tear crafted from that white.|
"Yes, go forward." Alice watched as the black pure-blood who thinks no one knew his masked ego scoffed at her like meaningless rambles. No wonder he finds this Tsukino anomaly entertaining enough to be left alive even when death would be a more justifiable punishment. Because, she could not help but smile so ever maliciously. Time was slowly looming over all the things that prevents him from being a husk of dead meat. "Because..." She started as she now held a red marble between her index finger and thumb. Parading it before her, the sky slowly darkened, although, it was not yet evening. Perhaps, there would be rain. "Once you reach the future. All that awaits is nothing." It was then snow began to fall which was a bit too early and out of season. The marble being held by her disappeared into fragments of light as she turned to make her leave. This school was certainly going to be amusing. Catching snow, she smiled deviously. "How cold."
Ex looked out the window with a very bored expression. He should have followed after those who had escaped. Oh, he had to rephrase that. They had allowed to leave. He was not a big fan of patience or the waiting game. However, all the decisions only come from the Contra Mundi and no one can go against that person. In the end, he had just took his time killing the remaining Tsukino which were mostly the branch families. They were left alive the first time since, there was still a use for them. The use? A catalyst for a social experiment planned from the very beginning. First phase was now complete. Soon, the second phase will be initiated. That is where the real fun starts.
"Excuse me, it is time for your maintenance." Eyes of black turned to look at the one who spoke. It was one of the medical and research staff assigned to his well-being. He dislikes being constantly checked upon. But, it was essential for him to function properly especially with the mission he would always be given. "Where is Hughes?" Ex asked which was answered promptly. There was no need to hide such details from this boy after all. "Professor Hughes is supervising the inoculation process." This made Ex sigh knowing that the older male cannot be disturbed at the moment. Because, the current process was very important for that one goal which they were all working hard for.
Standing from his perched position, Ex stretched his limbs and left the room which the personnel who fetch him followed behind. He had already reported the details of his mission and even a written report. All that he needed was the go-sign to move again. Speaking of which, he envies Alice who had been given a mission where she can interact with the targets more actively. He wanted that but he made a mess at the School Festival which destroyed his chances of enrolling at Cross Academy. In his opinion, they should thank him as it made that rundown school be shown all over the news. Which made him remember something as he looked at the personnel trailing behind him again. "How about Alice's maintenance?" The man simply stated in an almost deadpan manner. "It has already been taken care of."
"This is the first time you saw snow, right?" Amalthea asked her emotionless little brother who stared at the falling snow with such an unflinching gaze. She was finding it adorable. "Yes." It was more interesting as Zenith never lies despite how embarrassing it should be for him. He always answers with such straightforward words or statements. She finds that admirable because she cannot do such a thing. It was more easy to trick and steal from people. Yes, that was much more simple and fun. "Do you feel cold?" She asked him who finally looked at her with those golden eyes subtle shimmering with curiosity. In the end, he was not as emotionless as he portrays himself to be. "Shall I warm you up?"
It was then he woke up to reality. He was now sitting upright on the bed with his eyes lowered and hidden behind his fringes. Somehow, the dreams about his past had becoming like a daily occurrence. It made him wonder why could that be. Was it because of the girl named Alice? No, this was happening long before but never this vivid. He could still feel the lingering warmth on his lips. Instinctively, he touched it and then finally noticed he was now alone. He felt great alarm as there was no Alice around. Did something happen to her? Did she leave him? Standing from the bed, he had yet to notice that it was already snowing outside. Such an odd phenomena, truly it was.
Walking through the hallways, Zenith remained a pristine image of a lifeless prince. His eyes never betrayed his thoughts or feelings if he ever had one in any situations presented to him. But his utmost priority, he has to find her. The desperation filling him up was eating away at the remaining core of his existence. He could not have a trace of his sister to disappear from his grasp. Moreover, the emptiness he had felt was slowly being filled by the appearance of Alice. Thus, she cannot just leave him like this. That was when he had finally took noticed of something white falling. Looking at the window he almost passed by, he found it peculiar. "Snow..." He softly called out and placed a hand on the window.
The memory of the past was flooding inside his mind. It was then from the corner of his sight. He saw Alice's figure dancing under the falling of snow. It was a rather beautiful sight in his opinion. Wearing a red dress, white hair seemingly glowing with ease, and those red eyes gleaming with a precious secret, she appeared like an angel. Regaining his sense, he pushed the window open and went out there. "Ama--Alice." As for her, she knew that Zenith would be frantically looking for her. He has to. Slowly, she looked towards his way and smiled. "Shall I warm you up?" Just like that, two images overlapped before his eyes. However, only one figure was recognized by him. Only one.
