Said Luke was a werewolf. Werewolf. He also said, he was just like Luke. Werewolves . Then, he tried to approach Luke from the beginning because they were fellow werewolves. And… and… what else, did he say? Oh, and he said, Rei is Luke's keeper. Werewolf guard .
I don't know what kind of drugs Jade was on, but she was too crazy. For Luke, Jade is just an amateur author who wants to stalk her with tales from the past. Crazy. Amazingly, he was able to approach Luke all the way to this place. If not someone who is obsessed, then what is? Wow, Luke couldn't stop thinking. How can there be a human being who is young, alive, and, well… decent-looking, but suffers from a high degree of delusion. Luke actually believes more when someone says that Area 51 is a stopover for a group of aliens than hearing Jade chatter about werewolves. Oh my gosh!
Luckily the hooded girl's visit ended soon because Luke couldn't stand her bullshit any longer. So, Luke could be separated from him because since before, every time Luke wanted to leave, Jade always held Luke down.
Then now Luke was back in the cell with the other three. As usual, the Bronx and Fish were having a great conversation, while Nad was asleep with one arm over his head. Luke was amazed at this one girl. he seems to be able to sleep anywhere and in any condition. Maybe even if a hurricane were to destroy this building, Luke felt he would rather sleep than save himself. But Luke couldn't blame him. After all, it's boring here.
So Luke sat down. In the corner of the room, in front of the iron bars. Sticking head on the bars. watching the other prisoners in the cell from here with their various antics. Someone teased the male warden who was passing by. Someone was beating a fellow cellmate secretly. There are also those who are…
Er, wait!
What was that just now?
It was as if something was pressing so hard from behind that Luke immediately turned his head quickly and his neck muscles ached a little. However, as soon as Luke looked back, nothing was strange except that Fish, Bronx and Nad were still in their positions. And also the walls. There is a wall in this cell. Yeah, it's obvious something pressing so hard it seems to be coming from the wall behind his back. Let Luke remember again, so a few seconds ago, Luke felt a kind of heavy steam pressing against Luke's back and shoulders suddenly with the feeling that he was being watched. This is going to sound weird, but really, even Luke was sure someone was staring at him from behind the wall. I don't know how to say it, but that's what he felt even though Luke didn't know what it was. Luke is sure that there is something beyond the walls of this holding cell. Luke is so sure...
“… hey, you nut!”
A brass glass fell at his feet and it was the Bronx who threw it. Along with the sound of 'clanking' from the glass, the strange feeling of pressure immediately disappeared. Luke also turned to the Bronx, this time the atmosphere was strange. Luke should have been there, behind the bars of the cell, not far from where Fish and the Bronx were chatting. But, now outside the bars there is a warden woman who is preparing to open the padlock, several prisoners sticking out their heads in astonishment from their respective cells, while Fish, Bronx and Nad are standing in the corner of the bar with eyes widened in horror and foreheads wrinkled. .
Once again, the Bronx spoke to Luke, "Hey, what are you doing, you freak?!"
"What happened? What is it? Why are you calling out?" asked the warden, opening the padlock.
next second, Luke realized he was actually here. On the back wall of the cell. Where Luke had thought the pressure had come from. I mean… it's weird to move a place so quickly. Moreover, supported by the expressions of all of them who looked at Luke with odd looks.
"What?" he asked. "What's wrong with me?"
“Look, sir . It seems he is indeed crazy. Mental disorders! How could you suddenly run and claw at the wall in broad daylight like this!” cried Fish, hiding behind the Bronx's back.
Luke barely understood what Fish was saying before Luke saw his own fingers. It seemed what Fish said was true, because his fingernails were messy, chipped, and some were almost gouged out to bleed. Not to mention, on the wall in front of him, there were claw marks in irregular straight lines.
' Luke, you are a werewolf. ”
Oh, damn it! How could Luke think about Jade's crazy nonsense, until Luke didn't realize that Luke's wrists had been handcuffed and Luke had been pulled out of the cell by the warden to the clinic in custody. He grumbled profusely, but Luke couldn't focus on what he was saying. Also, the faint questioning buzz of the prisoners in the cells. As;
"Hey, what's he doing?"
"Was there a fight in cell 404?"
"I saw him jump across the room quickly. Fish immediately screamed, I thought they were being attacked by a swarm of insects.”
"What's wrong?"
"Listen up, the girl in cell 404 tried to escape by clawing at the wall."
"Wow, you idiot. If it could be like that, I would have done it a long time ago.”
"Oh, isn't he possessed by a demon? That red-haired girl was screaming like that while throwing things around in her cell.”
"Yeah, here, isn't it, it's a devil's nest. Ha ha ha…"
Who knows. Luke's head seemed to be plugged with thick cloth so that Luke couldn't think straight. It was up to him what they would assume.
“… or maybe the child is depressed? Isn't his first trial imminent? Why don't you get Joyce Welch to see the kid," said one of them.
Well, Luke wasn't eavesdropping on purpose, please don't misunderstand. After all, they were outside the clinic—Luke didn't know where exactly—but their voices were clear enough to hear, so it couldn't be Luke's fault. the clinic nurse and the warden left after Luke's hand was bandaged and gave painkillers. Even though Luke had said that it didn't hurt.
"It doesn't hurt at all," Luke said to the nurse in an attempt to refuse to take the medicine.
“He seems a little high, Cheyenne. Jejal—”
"I'm not high and not sick!" Huh, sucks. That's how it should be, doesn't it look painful if our nails are damaged until they bleed after clawing at the wall? But, well, they didn't believe it and Luke still took three small capsules of medicine whose bitterness scratched his throat, so Luke downed a large gulp of water.
"Well, now you rest."
Oh… Luke gets it. So that means, the medicine he was taking just now was a kind of painkiller as well as a sleeping pill. Because not long after, his eyes felt heavy and his head only contained the ceiling of the clinic room that he saw. Also the sound that comes in and out of the ears without meaning, except for the conversation between the nurse and the warden who knows where. Talking about this and that around him. Then before Luke really sank into a slumber, one sentence stuck in his head was…
“… you haven't heard, have you? Officer Derek said that last night, Adam Bowleans died."
Oh no.
