Before Truth

Hello, Player. Your journey start here. [[I'm super super super super duper ready]] [[I'm not ready]]

They called us the "Truth Seeker" Trio. <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_2d8a0b6a131245eeaa81c2f5bbf5c3f5~mv2.png" alt="deskripsi" width="900"> We've known eachother for almost 16 years, now we're 19 y.o. 𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕? (text-colour:blue)[[Zyea]] (text-colour:magenta)[[Ayi]] (text-colour:yellow)[[Raze]]

‧₊˚♪ 𝄞₊˚⊹TW: Scary images, be careful.♬⋆.˚ [[The First Encounter.]]

Kreeek, the old door squeaked. Dust began to disturb their vision, an unpleasant odor greeted the aftermath. 3 dim flashlights were not enough for such a large villa. The atmosphere was strange, very cold but also hot. “It's so big, why don't we part ways?” Raze suggested. "Part ways? In a villa this big? That's crazy." “No need to worry, it's safe, isn't it Zye?” Raze winked. “I think it's also fun to explore by yourself.” “Zyea?” Ayi couldn't believe it. “Hahaha.” Raze laughs mockingly [[You sure?]]

The sound of footsteps filled the room. Ayi's flashlight trembled, as her hands clenched in fear. She was placed on the 3rd floor, Raze with his force made Ayi relent. The place was very dusty, making Ayi's vision a little blurry that Ayi walked slowly. Bang! Ayi heard a loud bang from the room opposite. Ayi's flashlight automatically pointed at the door. Storage Room. Ayi stiffened, her body shaking violently. She hesitated, should she turn back, or should she keep going? Her hand reaching for the cellphone in her shirt pocket, she sat there, still across from the Storage Room. <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_d2f5e526065848e581786a0de6391387~mv2.jpg" alt="deskripsi" width="500"> The cell phone was off. Ayi stared at the black screen in front of her. The cell phone showed Ayi's frightened reflection from the screen. Ayi's breathing was getting faster and hotter, her body shaking. With a long sigh she stood up, picking up her flashlight that was on the floor. Should I just check... Ayi's mind was noisy. [[Go and check.]] [[Turn back.]]

It's okay, we'll wait >//< <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_084c633f65384a2b8a9f328b10a0ebea~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="600"> [[Alr->Opening]]

Ayi shook her head; she was too scared to check inside. Ayi continued walking past the storage room, trying not to care. At the end of the corridor, she spotted an odd room. It was sealed shut, with a sign reading “No Entry” on it. Strangely, the door was slightly ajar. The seal was intact, still dusty from the old building. Ayi peered inside—it was pitch-black. She couldn’t see anything, even when she tried shining a flashlight into the room. Ayi shrugged, thinking it was the work of some prankster who had already explored the villa. Though it was also odd, because since they entered, Ayi hadn’t seen a single piece of graffiti. She turned around, intending to go down and look for Zyea instead. As Ayi turned, she felt like she had just seen Raze. She aimed her flashlight forward, and sure enough, there was someone standing there. <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_591ac9b4902d45479b146d2270921c58~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="400"> Ayi didn’t get a good look at who it was, but the figure was male, so Ayi assumed it was Raze. Ayi wanted to approach Raze, but she hesitated. Why was Raze just standing there? Was it really Raze? Or was it someone else? [[Approach them]]

*"I'll check it"* Ayi thought to herself. (text-rotate-y:324)[*Kreek*] the sound of old door deafening her. Ayi had entered the Storage Room, the place where the voice came from. Her flashlight illuminated the entire room, empty. She could only see cobwebs that filled the room. The more she went inside, she realized that this isn't right. In the corner of the room she saw a large cabinet. It has two doors. The right door was full of floral carvings with the wijaya kusuma flower as the center. “Wijaya kusuma...” Ayi said softly as she touched the carving. Ayi had a flashback; her father used to love Wijaya kusuma flowers, and their garden was full of them. Ayi continued to observe the carving, which was beautiful. Ayi moved on, satisfied with the cabinet, intending to continue her exploration. One more step to exit, but suddenly Ayi couldn't move. Her head felt forced to turn backward—this was odd. *Gasp* <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_0f53f9a00b404c61a50a76a89f18de47~mv2.png" alt="deskripsi" width="400"> “No...” Ayi said panic-stricken. [[Leave?]]

Raze opened the kitchen door, greeted by the familiar creak of an old door. Nothing seemed odd; he simply walked in and occasionally took some photos. The kitchen was spacious, with a dining table with five chairs. Raze wanted to look around longer, but something made him want to leave immediately. He walked out of the kitchen, and without hesitation, he walked straight to the room across from it. It seemed to be a guest bedroom, as there was a bed in the middle of the room. One thing that caught Raze’s attention was the numerous paintings in the room. He approached one that particularly caught his eye—two ballet dancers in mid-dance. It was stunningly beautiful, as if there were a spell woven into the painting. “Swan Lake,” Raze said in awe. As before, he took a few photos of the painting before finally... *Clang!* A loud noise startled him. He looked around; a mirror had shattered. There was no wind, and Raze didn't feel like he had touched the mirror before. The shards were scattered everywhere, varying in size. However, among the shards was the largest piece, which once again caught Raze's attention. (text-colour:red)[[Observe]] [[Don't go]]

Carefully, he walked over the glass shards, grateful for the boots he was wearing. “E Lucevan Le Stelle?” (text-colour:white)[[O dolci baci, o languide carezze]] [[Skip]]

“Must have been the wind,” thought Raze. He didn't want to stay there too long, so after taking more pictures, he left. Before continuing his search, he saw Zyea walking on the second floor. “Zyea! What are you doing?” Raze shouted from where he stands. Hearing Raze called her name, Zyea turned around. Raze realized something—Zyea wasn't carrying her flashlight. He thought the second floor was pretty dark, especially they were part ways. They weren't just exploring any old house; this was a huge, luxurious villa. Raze knew Zyea wasn't brave enough to explore without a flashlight. “Zyea? Anwer me.” “Zyea?” Raze called again, “Where's your flashlight?” From the second floor, Zyea remained silent and just stared at Raze. Even when Raze's flashlight illuminated her face, she didn't move. [[Continue]]

[[Skip->Don't go]]

And the stars were shining. Raze recognized the aria; his uncle from Italy had once taken him to see an opera that performed “E Lucevan Le Stelle.” *“A work by Giacomo Puccini, Cavaradossi performed it beautifully,” his uncle said. “He fell in love with Tosca, but his life was not long enough for him to grow old with her. He awaited his execution at Castel Sant'Angelo in Parco Adriano.”* <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_2f0f9314d604486380fbd1044aa33e64~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="400"> *Raze listened intently to the tragic story of Cavaradossi. He imagined what it would be like to gaze at the night sky while waiting for the appointed time. He felt the beauty of the night stars and the sadness of betrayal.* [[O dolci baci, o languide carezza->Continue]]

Raze didn't pay much attention to it; maybe Zyea was just too tired to answer. He just walked around on the first floor, looking bored. He glanced at the watch on his wrist several times; it was 10 p.m. He yawned, his muscles feeling sore. He paused for a moment, as if he had seen something. No, not something, but someone. 'She' ran from the kitchen to the living room. “Ayi?” Raze called out. <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_3d53034b5dde4f45b962b7b695b0433f~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="400"> The person stopped, standing there. He was standing in front of a large vase that looked very expensive. “Ayi, what are you doing here?” Raze asked as he slowly approached ‘Ayi’. As they got closer, *CRASH!* ‘Ayi’ shattered the vase. “Ayi! Are you crazy?!” Before Raze could reach her, ‘Ayi’ vanished. She disappeared completely, like dust. Raze couldn't believe it. It was definitely not Ayi. Raze stood there in silence before finally hearing Zyea's approaching footsteps. He immediately ran toward Zyea, trying to explain everything. Zyea nodded, seeming to sense something as well. Her brows furrowed, her feelings uneasy. “Raze, we have to find Ayi right now.” Raze swallowed nervously, “To... the third floor, right...” Zyea nodded, glancing toward the third floor, “Ayi hasn't responded to our messages in the group chat, has she? I have a bad feeling about this.” [[Find Ayi.]]

“Ugh... it smells bad,” Zyea complained. The second floor only contained the residents' rooms, so where was the bad smell coming from? She walked slowly, covering her nose. Her flashlight moved from side to side; it seemed she had to start with the master bedroom first. [[Search]]

The main bedroom was very spacious, with a king-size bed at its center. There was one window with a balcony, an en-suite bathroom, and a walk-in closet. Nothing seemed odd; everything was normal. Zyea walked toward the cabinet next to the bed. She found a letter. <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_01d26548877a4eba8c42c80ccb41cade~mv2.png" alt="deskripsi" width="400"> “Zyea! What are you doing?” Zyea heard Raze's voice just as she put the letter back in its place. “What's wrong with Raze? He's crazy.” Zyea thought Raze was just joking, or maybe he mistook Ayi for her. Zyea continued her search in the room. Now, she stood in front of the walk-in closet that had caught her attention. Zyea could see an odd mark on the door. It looked like a scratch. Zyea knew it couldn't be a cat. The scratch was too large, almost half her height. [[Continue searching?]] [[Leave]]

*Brakk! * Something broke outside. The sound was sharp, but a little muffled. Zyea was afraid it was Raze's mischief, so she quickly left the main room and went down to the first floor. She saw Raze downstairs, standing motionless in front of the broken glass. “Raze?” “Zyea! I swear, this isn't right, Zye...” Raze ran toward Zyea. “You did this?” Raze shook his head, “It wasn't me, but...” Raze paused. “I saw someone who looked exactly like Ayi, I swear it was her from head to toe. I thought it was Ayi, so I went to her, but I realized something was off.” ... “What was it?” “Her clothes were different.” <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_3d53034b5dde4f45b962b7b695b0433f~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="400"> According to Raze, the ‘figure’ of Ayi he saw was wearing a knee-length white dress. Ayi was indeed feminine, but she had never worn a dress that short. Realizing the oddity, Raze fell silent. It just stood there, completely still. "Then.. we have to find Ayi" [[Find Ayi->Find Ayi]]

*Gasp! * Zyea was shocked by what she saw behind the walk-in closet. Baphomet, Zyea saw a statue of Baphomet there. <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_a9cb6a3749d04df68a3fc9dc4f13ebd3~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="400"> “Is this... satanism?” Zyea muttered. Baphomet was surrounded by lit candles, which meant... (text-colour:red)[[RUN!!]] <audio src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/bf79a8_f38920cecf4548ec9617ad1c5cb4cce0.mp3"autoplay>

Without a second thought, Zyea immediately ran out. Her feet quickly descended the stairs as she searched for Raze on the first floor. “RAZE! WHERE ARE YOU, RAZE?” Zyea's voice echoed, filled with panic and fear. She couldn't think straight anymore; she ran back and forth, searching for Raze's whereabouts. She opened every room, from the kitchen to the laundry room. Nothing. From one end to the other, Raze remained nowhere to be seen. Zyea slumped, gasping for breath. Dark thoughts overwhelmed her—had Raze been captured by those cult members? Had Raze left her alone? Ah, she didn’t know. Zyea was desperate, until finally she spotted the person she was searching for. “RAZE!” Zyea ran toward Raze, her heart pounding wildly. Raze waved, his flashlight moving left and right as he ran alongside Zyea. “Why are you so panicked, Zye?” Raze asked as Zyea stopped in front of him. “Raze, we're doomed. This is an old satanism villa.” Raze looked shocked, “What do you mean? Did you see Satanism here?” Zyea nodded uneasily, cold sweat dripping from her temples. Raze immediately understood the situation. Danger. They couldn't stay here any longer. “Then we have to get out of here right away!” Raze exclaimed. “Yeah, we have to—WAIT!” Zyea paused, “AYI!” They looked up, their flashlights searching for Ayi on the third floor. But— <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_d38914a782574a94932dd39891fa5542~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="400"> "What the-" (text-colour:red)[[Find Ayi]]

*Drap drap* the sound of footsteps descending the stairs one by one. Raze and Zyea exchanged glances. There were only two possibilities. “I'm not sure it's Ayi,” Raze nudged Zyea's arm. *Deg* The footsteps stopped. Zyea and Raze froze. No sound, silence, *the person is behind them. “Should we?” Zyea whispers to Raze. Cold sweat trickles down her temples again. Raze shakes her head slowly; he's afraid. He feels like running out, but what about Ayi? ..... “Zyea... Raze... help me.” Ayi's voice. It was Ayi's voice. Zyea turned around, ready to approach Ayi. But when she turned around, it wasn't Ayi she saw. Ayi wasn't there. <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_cf7ed0f01a8847d094f5198c501dbe92~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="400"> [[???]] <audio src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/bf79a8_07f2b05a0fb54e66b4b95789b4ca5684.mp3"autoplay>

Ayi ran out and went to the second floor to look for Zyea. “Zyea! Zyea!” Ayi called out. The second floor was empty. Where was Zyea? Ayi grew increasingly panicked, and bad thoughts began to cloud her mind. At that moment, Ayi thought that Zyea and Raze had left her alone. One by one, Ayi opened the rooms, hoping to find Zyea. Nothing, Zyea was truly nowhere to be found. Ayi continued running to the first floor, hoping that Raze was still there. “Raze! Raze, where are you?” Ayi shouted. She looked around, but wait... “Zyea?” <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_e1a809ca40f34285b8f898f23f96c8cd~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="400"> “Zyea, is that you?” Ayi approached slowly. "Ayi." "Hide." "They're.." "They're here." [[Eat]]

With slowly, Ayi approached, feeling afraid, curious, and uncertain, all mixed together inside her. Ayi could only hope that the figure in front of her was Raze, and not someone else... or a ghost. As Ayi got closer, the figure became clearer. *Deg!* Ayi froze, *It's not Raze*. ... In panic, Ayi ran into the “No Entry” room. Ayi had no other choice; she had to hide. “Why... why I can't lock it?” Ayi panicked. She had to block the door. Unfortunately, there was nothing strong enough to block the door. Ayi ran deeper into the room, the sound of their footsteps growing closer. There was another room. Ayi was relieved to find another room inside the room. Without hesitation, she entered it. Just as Ayi locked the door, they break through. They had entered. <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_2c458f26100d41fba1cfcbecd1c739bc~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="400"> Ayi looked around, wondering if this place had any hiding spots. She had to act quickly. The room was dirty, with many papers scattered around—just blank, yellowed sheets. Ayi walked and kept walking, trying not to make a single sound. “Huh?” Ayi saw something. A mirror. Ayi approached the mirror; it was still clean. No dust, no cobweebs. <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_05a82aca9f274532b04562fcb9e32da6~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="400"> [[False reality]]

"RUN RAZE RUN!" Zyea shouted loudly. Zyea roughly pulled Raze's hand, dragging him along as they ran off into the distance. She cant think straight anymore—had she hurt Ayi? Would they survive? Zyea was confused. “ZYEA, SHE'S FOLLOWING US! ZYEA, WHAT SHOULD WE DO?” Raze shouted. This was serious. They couldn't keep running; they had to hide. “Raze, where can we hide here?” Zyea whispered. “Uh-oh... over there! There's a small room at the end!” Zyea and Raze sped up their running; they had to hide. *Brakk!* Zyea slammed the door in front of her, locking it. “Here, Zyea! Come in here!” Raze pointed to a staircase. Attic. <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_42e0e512cfe5439986f3e457db32fb6e~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="400"> Up there, it was dusty and dark, but luckily they still have their flaslight. Zyea and Raze could still hear the old woman knocking on the door, trying to get in. “Zyea... Raze... why did you leave me? Help me...” the person said. Her voice sounded exactly like Ayi's, sending chills down their spines. *CRASH!* The door was smashed open. Zyea and Raze fell silent, able only to pray for their safety. “Zyea... Raze...” The voice kept calling their names. [[Another World]]

*Drap drap* the sound of footsteps descending the stairs one by one. Raze and Zyea exchanged glances. There were only two possibilities. “I'm not sure it's Ayi,” Raze nudged Zyea's arm. *Deg* The footsteps stopped. Zyea and Raze froze.

“RUN RAZE RUN!!!” Zyea shouted loudly. Zyea roughly pulled Raze's hand, dragging him along as they ran off into the distance. She cant think straight anymore—had she hurt Ayi? Would they survive? Zyea was confused. “ZYEA, SHE'S FOLLOWING US! ZYEA, WHAT SHOULD WE DO?” Raze shouted. This was serious.

Raze...” The voice kept calling their names. [[Different Dimention]]

*Gasp!* Ayi woke up. Her head was spinning, and her vision was blurry. “Where am I?” The place was bright, and Ayi... she felt like she had just woken up from sleep? Ayi pulled back the blanket—yes, it was a bed. She looked around, feeling strange. The place felt... ‘old’. Ayi sat on her bed, trying to process it all. She couldn't remember what had happened to her, but there was one thing she did remember... darkness. *Knock knock* ...“Come in.” The door to her room opened, and a man stood there. *Who is he?* Ayi asked herself. “Ayi...” he approached. *He knows my name? * Ayi watched as the man walked toward her, then sat down on the chair next to her bed. “Sorry, Ayi, dad just got home.” *Dad? Is he my dad? Where am I, actually? * “Are you feeling better, Ayi?” the ‘father’ asked, gently stroking Ayi's head. Ayi remained silent... did that mean the dizziness she felt earlier was from the sickness? She was ill? “Ayi?” Ayi flinched, “Oh, yes, I'm feeling better.” The ‘father’ smiled in relief, then reached into his pocket and pulled something out. He gave Ayi a pendant. “What's this for, F... Father?” Ayi feeling weird to call him ‘Father’. “It's for you. Don't be sad anymore because your siblings ran away from home; it's not your fault, Ayi.” Siblings? Ran away? It felt familiar to Ayi. “Oh, okay, thank you.” Father smiled gently, “Alright, you should rest now, dear.” Father stroked Ayi's head one last time before finally leaving her room. [[Try to remember]]

“Hide?” .... “You... aren't Zyea.” They remained silent. In the darkness of the villa, she faintly heard someone calling her name. “Ayi...” “Ayi, come eat.” Ayi turned around, searching for the source of the voice. A voice that seemed familiar, very familiar. Ayi strained her ears.. . . “My mother's voice.” Ayi shivered, turning back to them. Ayi knew the voice came from the kitchen. “Go, see her if you want your friends back,” they said. *Go? Friends back? Does that mean Zyea and Raze are gone? Were they kidnapped? * If it's for Zyea and Raze, then Ayi will do it. She will meet her mother's “voice.” [[Mom?]]

They stopped calling out Zyea and Raze's names, but there was the sound of a bell echoing below. The sound grew fainter until finally Zyea and Raze could no longer hear it. They breathed a sigh of relief; at least they were gone from here. “Now... how are we supposed to find Ayi?” Zyea asked. Raze lowered his head, shaking it weakly, “I don't know.” Zyea sighed heavily; she feels so tired. They sat in silence up there, not speaking, not looking at each other, just thinking about what they should do now. Several times, Zyea checked her phone, hoping Ayi would give them news or even call them. “Raze... we have to get out.” Zyea said firmly. “But–” Raze wanted to refuse, but he dared not. Ayi was alone there, maybe still on the third floor... or Ayi was searching for them. “Yes.” [[Be Careful]] <audio src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/bf79a8_1dd11afc2a3949f8bd9ecbbba1961221.mp3"autoplay>

Raze walked behind Zyea, his hand tightly gripping her arm. They walked slowly, climbing the stairs one by one toward the third floor. The atmosphere grew colder by the minute, and suddenly, heavy rain began to fall. “Zyea... I'm scared...” Raze whispered to Zyea, his hand still tightly holding hers. “Shh, Raze, what if ‘they’ hear us?” Zyea whispered back. “Zyea!” Raze protested softly, moving closer to Zyea. They continued walking uphill, occasionally illuminated by lightning flashing across the darkened villa. The longer they walked, the farther their destination seemed to grow. “Wait, Raze!” Zyea halted her steps. “Why, Zyea?” Raze asked. Zyea turned around, her eyes fixed intently on Raze, “Do you notice something?” Raze furrowed his brow, “Aware of what? Did Ayi disappear?” “No... we've just been going in circles here.” Zyea pointed to the large clock beside her, “Do you realize how many times we've passed this clock?” Raze fell silent; he felt like he had seen that clock countless times, “Isn't there one on every floor?” Zyea shook her head, “Raze, if there was one on every floor, we should only have seen it three times. We've been circling around seven times, Raze!” . . . “Or even more...” Zyea added. Raze fell silent. He realized they hadn't reached the third floor at all. It felt like they were trapped in a loop. “You're right, Zye, but—” *Crack! * The floor cracked. Zyea and Raze panicked—was there an earthquake? The villa wasn't made of bamboo, so it should have been sturdy. Why did the floor suddenly crack? And now it was starting to break apart! <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_b588f808ca874c5488e7a0ab81ef7460~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="400"> Before Zyea and Raze could save themselves, the floor completely collapsed. They fell into the villa. . . . [[Collapsed]] <audio src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/bf79a8_2e2b047bf48847b48e07b7d3ae419743.mp3"autoplay>

They stopped calling out Zyea and Raze's names, but there was the sound of a bell echoing below. The sound grew fainter until finally Zyea and Raze could no longer hear it. They breathed a sigh of relief; at least they were gone from here. “Now... how are we supposed to find Ayi?” Zyea asked. Raze lowered his head, shaking it weakly, “I don't know.” Zyea sighed heavily; she feels so tired. They sat there in silence, not speaking, not looking at each other, just thinking about what they should do now. Raze was lost in thought, his mind in disarray. He was afraid, he wanted to go home, he regretted his decision to come here. “Raze... we have to get out.” Zyea said firmly. “But–” Raze wanted to refuse, but he dared not. Ayi was alone there, maybe still on the third floor... or Ayi was searching for them. “Yes.” [[Be careful]] <audio src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/bf79a8_1dd11afc2a3949f8bd9ecbbba1961221.mp3"autoplay>

Raze held Zyea's hand tightly, his heart pounding. The sound of rain outside was deafening, and in this large villa, there were only the two of them. Occasionally, Raze could see objects falling on their own, or sometimes he heard strange voices calling his name. “Zyea... I'm scared...” Raze moved closer to Zyea. “Not now, Raze.” Zyea replied sharply. Raze knew Zyea was also scared; he could feel her trembling hands. Zyea was pretending to be so nonchalant, Raze thought. *Dugh Raze bumped into Zyea, who had suddenly stopped. “Ouch, Zyea... why?” Raze protested softly. He saw Zyea suddenly tense up, and he felt uneasy. “Raze, why have we been going around in circles this whole time?” Zyea asked, turning around. “Going around in circles how? We just need to go up— Oh, yeah,” Raze realized something, “If you think about it, we've passed this clock seven times already.” Raze pointed to the large clock next to Zyea. Zyea nodded; she had the same thought. The arrangement of the paintings, the large clock, and the low staircase made it even clearer. “Just go down, Zye... I'm scared.” Seeing Raze whining like that, Zyea just sighed heavily. “What about Ayi, Ze? Are you going to leave her alone up there? Plus, it's pouring rain.” Zyea's words were true. Raze was here with Zyea, but what about Ayi? Ah, Raze didn't know.. . . Wait! Raze heard something, a sound like something cracking. “Zye–” The floor they were standing on cracked! They fell, sucked into it. [[New Me]] <audio src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/bf79a8_2e2b047bf48847b48e07b7d3ae419743.mp3"autoplay>

Ayi walked slowly, she's scared to look around. Her gaze was fixed straight ahead, her sole destination the kitchen. Ayi could only hope there was no terrifying ghost there; she felt like he might collapsed. Ayi had arrived; in front of her was the closed kitchen door. Ayi hesitated—should she go in? If she left, what about Zyea and Raze? “Ayi... come eat first.” The voice called out again. It was warm, just like her mother's voice. Slowly, Ayi reached for the kitchen door handle, opening it with trembling hands. *Image “Mom?” Ayi was startled. The person in front of her... was her mother. Exactly the same—her hairstyle, the clothes she was wearing—it was her mother. Hearing Ayi’s voice, ‘Mother’ turned around. She smiled at Ayi standing at the kitchen door, even though Ayi was a bit disheveled. “Come in, Ayi, let’s eat,” her mother said as she approached Ayi. Her hand took Ayi’s hand, leading her to sit at the dining table. Ayi sat at one of the dining tables with ‘Mom’ across from her. Ayi placed her flashlight, which she had turned off earlier, on the table. Her heart was racing. At that moment, it felt like Ayi was in another world. “Sorry it's just two of us. your siblings are busy outside.” Ayi paused for a moment. Siblings? Busy outside? Does that mean Zyea and Raze? “Siblings?” Ayi asked softly. “Yes... they're busy with those spirits.” Mom changed. Its head elongated and grew longer and longer... gambar [[E lucevan le stelle]]

Ayi realized something—the pendant could be opened. Inside were photos of two girls and one boy. Ayi looked at them... it was Zyea and Raze! And the one in the middle was herself. *Are the siblings he mentioned earlier Zyea and Raze? * Ayi stood up, get out of bed. Her body felt weak; she had to hold onto the cabinet next to her bed to stand. “Ugh... where am I exactly?” Ayi muttered. Ayi looked around. *Image This place... it was very familiar. She examined every corner of her room; nothing seemed odd. But... Ayi realized something. The large wardrobe in one corner of her room felt very familiar. Ayi approached the wardrobe; there was an engraving of the Wijaya Kusuma flower on its door. “Wijaya Kusuma, huh...” Ayi said. It felt very familiar; Ayi felt like she had seen and done this before, but the more she tried to remember, the more her head spun. [[Go out]]

“Ah, I think I should try to go out for a bit.” Ayi walked sluggishly toward the door, opening it slowly. Wow, Ayi was amazed, her eyes sparkling as she saw how luxurious this place was. There were many paintings on the walls, the ceilings were very high, and the space was unimaginably large, according to Ayi. Ayi descended the stairs to the first floor; the place was completely empty. There was no one there except Ayi, even though all the doors and windows were open, she couldn’t see her father or mother anywhere. <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_146ed4f48fa640caaca7bf15e2847ff5~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="500"> Ayi looked around repeatedly, to the right, to the left, and up. This three-story building felt very familiar to her. Unfortunately, he couldn’t remember anything except his name, Raze, and Zyea. Ayi walked outside, curiosity guiding him despite his heavy head. The view outside was beautiful, even though the place was surrounded by forest. The further Ayi went, the more familiar it felt. “Eh?” Ayi saw someone. The person was running alone in the middle of the forest. They were far apart, but Ayi could see the girl running because of her white dress. “Who is she?” Ayi asked herself. “Who, Ayi?” Someone startled Ayi. Her mother suddenly appeared behind Ayi, her hands on Ayi's shoulders as she tilted her head. “Ah, Mother,” Ayi flinched, “no one, I must have seen things.” Mother smiled gently, her hand softly stroking Ayi’s hair. There was something odd in Mother’s gaze, as if she were hiding something from Ayi. “Ayi, do you miss Raze?” Mother asked. *Raze? How does she know about Raze? Does that mean Raze is here? *. “Ayi?” Mother called out to Ayi, snapping her out of her reverie. “Ah, sorry, Mother,” Ayi bowed her head. “Raze, is Raze here?” Ayi asked. “Yes.” [[Go meet Raze]]

Ayi fell silent, wondering what all this meant. It felt so real, impossible to call it all a dream. Ayi looked outside, birds chirping and the sun shining brightly. She couldn’t remember, it felt like his mind had just been reset. <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_e60e947147ff4584886f53d74954b3bf~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="500"> “Should I just run away too?” Ayi muttered. She was scared; everything felt so odd and rushed to her. Ayi sighed, her head felt heavy. She wanted so badly to go out and find out what was really happening, but her physical condition didn’t allow it. Ayi remembered her father’s message to rest; well, it seemed like in this condition, she could only sleep. . . . Ayi laid down in her bed, staring at the ceiling of her room. No matter where she was, his bed felt incredibly comfortable. Ayi’s eyes slowly closed, and she fell asleep. *“Ayi! Ayi, wake up!” Zyea screamed. Zyea sounded panicked and afraid, as if being chased by something. “Ayi! Ayi, wake up! Help me!” ... Again, Zyea’s voice. Still the same as before, her voice was panicked and afraid, as if being chased by something. Strangely, no matter how loud Zyea's voice sounded, Ayi couldn't see her at all. “Zyea? Zyea, where are you?” Ayi shouted. Silence. “Zyea?”* *Haaah, haaah * Ayi was out of breath. It was all a dream; Zyea's voice was a dream. Ayi looked around; it was still bright like before she fell asleep, even though the sun had already set a little. *Knock knock* “..Yes?” Ayi's bedroom door opened. It was her mother. “Ayi..” she greeted, approaching Ayi. “Yes?” Ayi sat up. Mother sat on the chair next to the bed, just as Father had done earlier. “Are you feeling better?” she asked. Her voice was soft and warm, and Ayi was touched. Answering her mother's question, Ayi nodded. “Then wake up.” [[Wake Up]]

Ayi woke up feeling weak, her breathing heavy and labored. She sat up, trying to comprehend what had actually happened. Ayi left her room, which was dark. She remembered clearly that it wasn't night yet, but why was it so dark here? Reluctantly, she lit a candle and walked down to the first floor to look for her mother. <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_0911d18c85b74c388855000968845235~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="500"> Empty, no one was there. Ayi entered her mother’s room, still empty. She approached the large wardrobe in the room, opening it slowly. She saw a safe slightly open, unlocked. Ayi opened it, finding old papers and strange photos. . . . *This is all... me* Ayi thought to herself as she looked at the photos from the safe. Strange, all of them were photos of her that looked... burned? Disturbing. Ayi brought the photos back to her room, storing them in the cabinet near her bed. She blew out the candle she had brought earlier, lying back down on her bed. She stared into space, her eyes slowly closing before she heard a voice calling her. [[Answer]]

<img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_e723120187f9409a91337998c5136496~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="500"> “Ouch...” Zyea groaned in pain. Her body felt like it was about to break, even though she had fallen onto the bed, it did nothing to ease the pain. “Where am I?” Zyea looked around, holding her aching head. She stood up, grimacing in pain. *What am I doing in the forest?* <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_3e7094a3b4c74478a2cd926262373728~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="400"> The unfamiliar surroundings made Zyea shiver slightly; everything had changed. What Zyea was wearing now was a plain white dress that was quite long and heavy. One thing that shocked Zyea was that she was wearing high heels. “Oh, wow, did just I entered someone else's body?” Zyea laughed sarcastically. Zyea walked slowly along the path covered with wild grass. The high heels she was wearing were very uncomfortable; Zyea had never worn high heels before. With every step Zyea took, her feet felt sore and painful. *Rustle rustle* Zyea heard the sound of bushes moving, as if someone had pushed them aside. Zyea shuddered in horror, she wasn't the only one here? [[Check]]

<img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_f072db2fb32443aa8b2043341000f0c8~mv2.png" alt="deskripsi" width="400"> *Gagh!* The lack of oxygen made Raze gasp for breath. His body felt heavy and cold, his eyes stung, and his face was wet. Raze looked around at the white sand and waves washing over him. The beach. Raze walked back and forth, trying to call for help. His body ached, and his eyes grew more painful, limiting his movement. Raze's efforts yielded no results; he was alone on the beach. The sun seemed to have just risen, blinding and painful at the same time. “Zyea? Zyea, where are you?” Raze shouted with all his strength. He remembered clearly that Zyea had fallen with him. They had fallen into the villa—how had Raze ended up on the beach? “Zyea! Ayi! Anyone, please help me!” Raze shouted again. Silence—no one answered. Raze sat down weakly, in this unfamiliar place, not knowing where to go or what to do. Raze looked at his wet clothes; everything was different. In fact, at this moment, Raze was certain that he had entered someone else's body. The sound of the waves and the birds annoyed Raze; how could he get out of here? [[Find a way]] [[Just sit on the beach]]

Ayi nodded, She followed hER mother to the living room. Her heart was racing, was it really the Raze she knew? Ayi was nervous. That's right, it was the Raze she knew intimately. Raze took Ayi into his embrace, Ayi can see how sad Raze is now. “Ayi... are you okay?” Raze asked, his voice shaking slightly as if he was about to cry. Ayi nodded slowly, mom started to leave them to talk alone. Ayi could not remember what happened to her, but Raze showed different things. *Raze, can he take me out of here? * Before Ayi could express her intention to escape, a fire broke out from the kitchen. Damn, mom forgot to turn off the fire. Raze pulled Ayi to get out of the house, unfortunately, the door was locked. They wanted to try to go to the back door, but the fire was too fast. This is weird, the fire is striking too fast Ayi couldn't help but crying. Raze again pulled her in his arms, protecting her like big brother always do. Suddenly, it feels like being struck by lightning, everything was dark suddenly. *What happened? * <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_60aa049053474bdbbbe788226f541289~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="500"> [[The End]]

Raze realized that there was something in his pocket. A clean piece of paper, wrapped in plastic so it doesn't get wet. Raze tilted his head. What kind of paper was this? <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_874b004843fa4300a55eb3ccef393a8c~mv2.png" alt="deskripsi" width="400"> A clue! It was a clue. Raze was a little unsure about the truth of the paper. What if he was being deceived? But who would go to such lengths to deceive Raze?. . . . . “A rabbit!” Raze shouted. He stopped immediately, just as the paper had said. The rabbit turned toward Raze, its ears moving southward as if giving Raze a signal. “Should I go to south?” Raze muttered. *Ah* the rabbit was already gone; it seemed Raze really had to go south. [[Go to south]]

Raze just sat there, silent and still. He felt like he wanted to drown himself in the sea; he had resigned himself to his fate. Raze looked around him—there was truly no one else there. No boats, no people—just him, sitting alone in the middle of the beach. *What should I do? Will I die here?* Raze asked himself. He was too afraid to move, but deep down, he was also worried about Zyea. Was Zyea still alive? Or had Zyea also entered another dimension with him? What about Ayi? .. . Raze heard something—no, someone. Raze lifted his head and saw a silhouette approaching. “Raze!” The person ran toward Raze. *Who is he?* “Raze! Thank goodness you're still alive...” he said as he helped Raze stand up. “Pardon?” Raze was confused. “Why did you run away, Raze? Where's Zyea? Ayi is sick now, and she wants to meet you both,” his tone sounded sad, his eyes slightly teary. “Ayi? Sick? What do you mean?” Raze was shocked when he mentioned Ayi's name, *Ayi is still alive? *. . . [[Trust Him?]]

<img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_6f67de906ec042c1953100c748991483~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="500"> Raze found it, he found the villa. Just as Raze was about to knock, the door opened, followed by a shadow behind it. A woman emerged from there, and Raze stood awkwardly, now face to face with her. "Excuse me, I—" Raze's words were cut off. The woman suddenly screamed, hugging Raze, who stood awkwardly, confused about what was actually happening. "Ah, sorry, but—" Raze slowly released the woman's embrace, feeling odd being hugged suddenly by someone he didn't know.. . . "Raze, you're finally back," the woman stroked Raze's hair; his tall stature made her tiptoe slightly. "Come in, dear, Mom and Dad have been waiting for you." *Mom and Dad, huh? * Raze stepped inside the villa, which was exactly the same as what he had explored before. Mom told him to sit down and wait for a moment, and Raze obeyed because Mom said she would call someone.. . *Gasp! * "Ayi?" Raze couldn't believe it—the person in front of her was Ayi. Raze stood up from her seat, approached Ayi, who was standing behind Mom, and hugged her. She had found Ayi. "You two talk first; Mom still has other matters to attend to," she said with a gentle smile as she watched Raze hug Ayi tightly. Raze released his embrace, gazing at Ayi’s face, which he hadn’t seen in such a long time. “Raze… do you know?” Ayi asked, gesturing for Raze to sit back down on the sofa. “Why? You weren’t harmed, were you?” “Here, I’m your younger sister, you know.” [[I miss her so much but I couldn't say it because I'm afraid]]

“Ayi your sister! Have you lost your memory?” *Ayi? My sister? Pfftt, what kind of joke is this? * “I'm sorry, I don't understand,” Raze said curtly, unwilling to believe the person in front of him. He looked disbelieving at Raze's attitude, “What do you mean you don't understand? Have you really lost your memory or what?” Raze remained silent as the person in front of him ranted. *Huffht* he sighed roughly. He grabbed Raze's hand, dragging him—almost pulling him—along with him. Did Raze resist? Well, no. Raze wanted to see if what he'd said was true... or if he was just rambling. [[Who?]]

*I think I've been here before,* Raze thought to himself as he walked with him. Raze tried to remember, it felt so familiar. This path, the forest and the tall pine trees, ah, Raze couldn't remember. “I hope you're not completely lost your memory, Raze, but I want you to talk to your sister and apologize,” he said. Raze furrowed his brow, “Whatever,” he replied softly. . . . “Raze!” An adult woman approached him. Since the one who brought him here was his father, this must be his mother. “Raze...” His mother held both of Raze's hands, “Sit down, I'll call Ayi.” Raze nodded, but his mind was in turmoil. *Everyone says I ran away, but they always ask if I'm still alive or not? * The mother left Raze, her steps a bit hurried. Actually, Raze wasn't sure if the real Ayi was here; he thought it might be someone else with the same name. Raze daydreamed, his heart pounding. (text-colour:yellow)[[Are you sure you'll meet Ayi?]]

Raze really did not expect that the one in front of him was Ayi. It really was Ayi. Raze wanted to scream, he wanted to call Zyea right now and show that Ayi was still alive. Ayi tilted his head, he did not think that he would actually meet Raze. Raze looks, different(?) [[I miss her so much but I couldn't say it because I'm afraid]]

Zyea chased after her like a rabbit, but the high heels she was wearing hindered her movements. Zyea really wanted to take them off, but the woman in front of her was running so fast that Zyea was afraid of losing her. *Brakk! * Zyea tripped over something. She fell forward, her face scraping the ground roughly. <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_6ca901ec281e475d91eee38664e1baab~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="500"> “Ouch...” Zyea sat up, feeling blood trickling down her knees and cheeks. Ah... Zyea was too hurt to stand up and chase after the person. Now she was in the middle of nowhere, watching the person run off to the left. Zyea gave up; she didn't want to chase after the person anymore. “Ahhh, Heels ######!!” Zyea cursed. She took off the heels and threw them far away, she was furious. [[Go]]

“Ouch...” Zyea stretched her muscles under a tree. It was getting late in the afternoon, but Zyea couldn't find a place to sleep... or even hide. Zyea kept walking, even though she was sick of it, but she had to find a way out of here. Whether it was out of the dream, out of this “person's” body, or out of a different world. <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_6e58f60d2a68473a90e8c46b187aa35c~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="500"> Zyea hadn't heard any sounds since earlier. She thought Raze was dead because if Raze was in the same place as her, Raze would be screaming like a madman, calling out her name and Ayi's. “Huh?” Zyea stopped. She crouched, “What's this?” <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_9be3f8c80d384636af080b9f6bb9376a~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="500"> [[What's happening?]]

“Huh?” Empty. Nothing there. Zyea snorted in annoyance, she had hoped to find something useful there. . . . . “I... I know this pathway!” Zyea jumped up and down, “This is the path to the villa, I remember!” Zyea breathed a sigh of relief. The sun was beginning to set, and the atmosphere was growing increasingly tense. She couldn't stand staying in the forest any longer. Zyea ran as fast as she could, following the path she still remembered. *I hope the villa is there...* Zyea hoped anxiously. <img src="" alt="deskripsi" width="500"> [[Realization]]

“Woah...” Her eyes lit up as she found the villa. It was so different, this one felt more luxurious... and alive. <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_c30440dcc00c4b858c9f5ef4134d5b10~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="500"> . . Zyea walked slowly, entering the villa whose lights were still shining brightly. Hmm... the front door didn't seem to be locked, Zyea thought. She hesitated... should she knock first, or just go right in? *Knock knock knock* Zyea knocked on the door gently. No response. *Knock knock knock* The second knock was louder. “Who's there?” Someone called out from inside. Their footsteps approached the door, and the sound of the doorknob turning began to echo, sending a chill down Zyea's spine. “Who— Ehh?!!” [[It was...]]

*Gasp! * “You... you're still alive?!” Zyea hugged Raze, the person who opened the door for her. Her heart was pounding wildly; finally, she had met Raze. “Zyea...” Raze hugged her back. Oh, it felt like Raze's eyes were about to pop out from crying. . . Raze slowly released the embrace, gazing deeply into Zyea's eyes, “Zyea...” Raze called out. Zyea looked up, “What's wrong? Is... is Ayi here?” Raze nodded; Ayi was with him. He took Zyea's hand and led her inside to meet Ayi. As they had done before, they walked upstairs to Ayi's room. *Knock knock* Raze knocked gently on the door. He opened it as soon as Ayi replied, “Come in!” from inside. “Ayi...” Zyea called out. She ran to hug Ayi, feeling calm again upon seeing Ayi still alive in front of her.. . . [[Ask Ayi what happened]] [[run away]]

“Are you okay?” Zyea grabs Ayi's face. Ayi nods slowly in response, pulling Zyea to sit next to her. “So, Yi, do you want to talk about it?” Raze raises an eyebrow, urging Ayi to speak up. “I... I'm confused...” Ayi looks down. Hearing Ayi's confusion, Zyea feels even more confused. . . . “Zyea, Raze, you have to leave here.” “Huh?” Her words sound... crazy. Zyea swallows hard, her hands gently holding Ayi's. “Ayi... we can't leave you again.” “Again? What do you mean?” ... “She's lost her memory, I think.” Raze said. Zyea nodded in understanding; she grasped the situation. The Ayi in front of her couldn't remember what had happened before this, but it seemed like she knew what was *going to* happen. “I... I have something to confess,” Ayi bit her lip. [[Listen Carefully]]

“Ayi...” Zyea paused. “Ayi, let's run away.” Zyea's words startled Ayi. She took a few steps back, her eyes filled with fear. Raze was just as surprised as Ayi. He gently patted Zyea on the shoulder. “So sudden?”. . . “I... I can't.” Ayi said. *Huh?* Zyea didn't understand; Ayi looked different now. Her eyes were dull, like someone who hadn't slept in ages. Zyea also noticed that Ayi's arms were covered in bruises. What had happened? “Ayi? Just tell us... We're here,” Raze said softly, rubbing her back. Zyea nodded in agreement; they were worried. “Actually...” Ayi began. “Over time, I feel like... I don't belong here. Every minute that passes, I feel like something is missing from me.” Zyea and Raze exchanged glances, *What does she mean? * Ayi lowered her head, “The longer I stay, the more I forget about you guys. It feels like, ahh... it's hard to explain.” She covered her face with both hands. Zyea tilted her head, “Explain slowly, Ayi.” [[Listen Carefully]]

“I heard from Mother that you don't belong here,” Ayi spoke up. Mother? Don't belong? What does all this mean? Zyea began to feel afraid. Was this the real Ayi? “Mother? Which mother, Yi?” Zyea spoke up, her voice soft and slightly hoarse. “My mother.” Zyea looked at Raze in disbelief, her eyes signaling Raze to intervene. “Ekhem...” Raze cleared his throat, “Yeah, mother said the same thing to me earlier.” Raze spoke cautiously. Zyea felt awkward; seeing her two friends talking nonsense like this made her feel something was wrong. “What... what did she say?” Ayi swallowed hard, “I... I'm no longer someone with a beating heart.” Crazy. What does that even mean? Zyea felt even more confused, her thoughts in disarray. “Wait,” Raze was startled, “you...” Raze stopped mid-sentence. His expression was hard to read, as if there was something he shouldn't say. “What's really going on?” Zyea asked again, completely confused by what was happening. Ayi turned to Raze, her hand pointing toward the door as if signaling him to leave. Zyea could see Raze's eyes suddenly welling up with tears. He walked slowly away from Ayi and Zyea, leaving them alone to talk. Ayi took a deep breath, her hand gently cupping Zyea's cheek. “I'm dead, Zyea. Remember?” Zyea fell silent. “Ayi” and “dead” in the same sentence? Impossible. Zyea doesn't remember any of this. When did Ayi die? “Liar. I remember everything, I was with Raze looking for you at the villa.” Zyea laughed awkwardly. “I don't even remember that part, but there's one thing I do remember,” Ayi paused. “You walked past my body.” [[The story she never expected]] <audio src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/bf79a8_99d956dd98e8479d9cd566fef079f214.mp3"autoplay>

“Your corpse? I really don't understand.” Ayi walked slowly toward his cabinet and took out a book from it. He returned to Zyea and handed her a piece of worn paper. The paper had no name on it and no writing whatsoever. Zyea took the paper hesitantly, hoping it wasn't what she feared it might be. <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_036e79fb21d7449481d5c2338c722e8f~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="500"> “Ayi?” Zyea felt her heart stop beating. Everything felt so fast, too fast. If Ayi had become a corpse, then who was standing before her? Zyea's lips trembled; she wanted to ask so many questions about everything that had happened to Ayi, but before she could utter a single word, Raze burst in and dragged Zyea out. “Raze, what the hell?!!” Raze dragged her out of the villa. Zyea looked back—it was dark. The candles that had been lit were now just smoke drifting away. “Zyea, it's bad. We made a mistake.” [[Run]]

“Raze!! Explain first!!” Zyea shouted as they reentered the forest. Zyea didn't understand. Earlier, Ayi had been acting strangely, and now Raze was acting oddly too? Raze continued to run with Zyea until they found a wide open field. The night wind blew strongly, and Zyea, who was only wearing a thin dress, felt a little cold. She looked at Raze; his face was pale, with cold sweat trickling down his temples. “What's going on?” Zyea asked for the umpteenth time. “Zyea... we've been trapped.” *Trapped? *. . . Raze walked into the middle of the field and lay down in the tall grass swaying in the wind. <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_6d99c15136f64967835908eccb16c44b~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="500"> “Zyea... Everything we see here is fake.” Raze stared intently at Zyea and told her everything he knew. Everything about Ayi's death, the other world they inhabited, their fake parents, and the portal they had to find. Zyea sat beside Raze, listening carefully to his explanation. Occasionally, Zyea sensed the presence of another creature here, but he didn't care much. Zyea felt strange; his feelings were truly indescribable. He kept listening to Raze speak until something finally stopped both of them. Fire. The villa was burning, and Ayi and Raze witnessed how devastating the fire was. The flames consumed the entire villa, along with Ayi inside it. From a distance, black smoke billowed above the bright red flames. Zyea shed tears. [[Don’t stay too long]]

In the silence, Zyea wept, covering her face. From time to time, she could hear Raze sobbing beside her. What were they supposed to do now? “Zyea…” Raze called out hoarsely, “we have to get out of here.” . . . They ran once again, still with hands tightly clasped and tears that wouldn’t stop falling. Raze gradually slowed down. In front of them, all the trees bowed, as if forming a path—or perhaps a tunnel—for them. He led her inside, and it felt like being slowly choked. Zyea couldn’t breathe. She couldn’t see. Then everything went dark. [[You're finally here]]

Someone knocked on Ayi's door, and she shouted “Come in!” from inside. The door opened, and it was Raze... and Zyea? Zyea ran towards Ayi and hugged her tightly. Ayi was confused; how should she react? [[Tell Her]]

There was hatred in Ayi. She did not like seeing Zyea and Raze still alive in front of her. She wanted to end all this, but she was confused about what to do? There was nothing Ayi could explain, she just showed the photos she found earlier. Zyea looked closely, she saw her eyes glazed over, either out of fear or sadness. Before Ayi could pour out her hatred, Raze came to take Zyea away. They left Ayi once again, for the last time. Ayi watched them run from her window, they began to move away and into the forest until Ayi could not see them anymore. Ayi picked up a lighter, she lit it and started burning the photos on hee bed. The fire spread quickly, the villa caught fire instantly. Ayi's body felt hot, her soul felt like it was being slowly ripped out. Ayi, dead. [[The End]]

Zyea woke up, her head spinning. She wasn't in the villa, nor was she in the forest. She woke up in a room with 4 mattresses, like UKS she thought. She sat up, from where she was she could see Raze who was still asleep-or maybe passed out because he looked like that-across from her. *The door to the room opened. Mr. Padri, the village elder whom they had met before. Looking at Zyea who had woken up, Mr. Padri smiled gently. He carried 2 glasses of tea in his hands, placing one next to Zyea and the other next to Raze. "Are you feeling better?" Mr. Padri asked softly. "Yes, sir. I'm sorry, but what happened to me and Raze?" Zyea asked while drinking her hot tea little by little. "Nothing, already, just rest now it's 3 am. At 7 o'clock I'll call someone to pick you up." Mr. Padri's message before leaving Zyea silent in confusion. . . . Zyea sat in the back seat of the car, next to her was Raze who still looked weak. The road was a little rocky, making Raze unable to sleep in the car. The driver didn't say anything, they just stayed in their own thoughts, no one had any intention of opening a conversation. Zyea could see that Raze's hand was slightly blue, like a bruise. It felt strange, like Zyea had just experienced something long and complicated. Hufftt . . . [[I wanna see you all grow up]]

Raze stared at the figure of Zyea standing next to him, her long flowing hair weighing down his breathing. A place this big still felt cramped to him, he wanted the whole world to belong to the two of them. <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_be7a5bd8075d4e509e1bffd7025683bd~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="500"> Zyea's departure train would arrive in 10 minutes, Raze couldn't believe he was back alone in his hometown. He missed Ayi, and soon he would miss Zyea too. For some reason, Raze's chest felt heavy. “Zyea...” Raze called softly. The one he called turned her head, she had a big smile on her face that made him unable to hold back his feelings. “I think I have feelings for you.” Raze moved closer, taking Zyea's hand as he waited for her response. Zyea was transfixed, her cheeks blushing as one word after another left Raze's lips. Her hand returned Raze's grip, her face turned this way and that as if to make sure what she was about to say could only be heard by Raze alone. Zyea smiled, feeling very happy, “Does this mean you wanna match my freak?” Zyea teased him a little. Raze chuckled, his lips quivering as he declared “I like you.” . . . “I've been waiting, Raze,” Zyea stroked Raze's shoulder one last time. “Yeah,” Raze looked sad, “but, Zyea, promise me you'll still want to see me happy, because I am.” <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_242526232d1b43af988710ce7ce82f86~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="500"> “Promise.” [[The End]] <audio src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/bf79a8_1a2562c300c54d84ab0cc85685d1a7e7.mp3"autoplay>

“Ayi... what happened?” Raze asked Ayi, it felt like he was staring at his little brother who was just able to walk. “Why are you here?” Ayi asked back, he approached Raze, looking at him from head to toe. There was something strange about Ayi's gaze, but Raze couldn't explain it. Raze was silent looking at Ayi in front of him, he wanted to hug him like he hugged his sister. But Raze was afraid, Ayi seemed to have *slightly* forgotten him. Raze slowly approached Ayi, she noticed his face which looked weak like a sick person. “Answer, Raze.” Raze startled, “Ah.. I'm suddenly here,” she laughed awkwardly, it felt strange. Raze saw mom smiling from behind Ayi, she turned around and left them both there. Raze observed his surroundings, it was indeed the villa he visited earlier with Ayi and Zyea. “Ayi, where were you before this?” Raze asked softly, his hand stroking Ayi's small head. Raze remembered that he and Zyea lost Ayi at the villa that night. “Me? I'm already dead, Raze.” Ayi's words managed to make Raze pause, his hand that had been moving right to left to stroke Ayi's hair also stopped. *Dead? * “You're funny,” Raze chuckled, "how could you, Ayi. Zyea and I have been looking for you for hours, you're missing." "Because I'm dead, Raze. You guys didn't help me. I'm dead. I'm dead." Raze took a few steps back from Ayi. His face was pale She was afraid of the figure facing her. He wanted to escape, his energy had really gathered until he felt he could knock down the front door. Ayi in front of him pulled out a knife, like magic it suddenly appeared in his hand. Raze was certainly scared to see that, what would Ayi do? *Stabb* "Ayi!" Raze fell limp. Ayi stabbed herself, in front of Raze. Raze closed her eyes, hoping none of this was real. It wasn't. This was what Raze was dealing with. He sobbed as he heard Ayi's body fall to the floor. Everything was confusing. "Ayi..." Raze burst into tears. Her head felt like it was going to burst. <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/bf79a8_2862f854a5194591842f9c20b5b715d8~mv2.jpeg" alt="deskripsi" width="500"> [[I wanna see you all grow up]] <audio src="https://static.wixstatic.com/mp3/bf79a8_64039a73957a470fa60c04b97b20b3b7.mp3"autoplay>
