Darkness filled the room.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9ivSH6yHa

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnVu0rrecM

Complete.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBuqwV56sB

Silent.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX6F1pmghv

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3sObzTuk4

Liyana couldn’t see anything.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlW8nATnWt

But she could feel it—

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hd5zTvL1j

she wasn’t alone.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGkGnZ7FIP

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpEI1OBXwt

Her breathing grew uneven.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWEQfgVxGd

“Who’s there?” she whispered.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMJVJ3lUqH

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug86xRkhO7

A pause.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv34JHSXFW

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQRUb0hZ2x

Then—

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z0eN30pCk

footsteps.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzP93c42hy

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzzh0ARLUU

Soft.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f7NQ7RrQu

Slow.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo60lz9Aig

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusq4pa8ksx

Coming closer.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gcHGTcptM

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJBi6jYlql

“You heard us,” a voice said.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHulT5WP1g

Not cold.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamkbrbjoI4

Not mechanical.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7MrN06QMK

Human.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKXAEhYr1X

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsS04mE31A

A faint light flickered.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkwt7uLJbn

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt265kDtx9L

Shapes began to form in the darkness.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdmZzFgcIl

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwRVwOUqgE

Figures.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLPqnnHcVT

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBMfNBZRen

Students.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCw2QLpCQZ

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPSobPsD5P

Standing around her.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEDa58dmtb

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkZeb2wHe2

All wearing black.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HC4GjXTkn

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsMr7gPGgj

No colors.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9TxZdb2gH

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLm3LN3TEo

Just like her.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDweFp7NZlP

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQZjpmAhzy

Her heart pounded.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM6Kn2XEUP

“You… you’re real?”

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyy572JC1O

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcji4BS7t7g

A girl stepped forward.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm46hZDVbSy

Calm eyes. Steady voice.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvbTFj60wg

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYWl5RydiV

“We were erased,” she said.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFT34xo3xW

“But not gone.”

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABLiTlSqRl

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXyVV5DW0F

Liyana’s breath caught.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeMCcTaHuC

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCNJxJs24O

“The system couldn’t delete us completely,” another voice added.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCsqMT6OmE

“So it hid us.”

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeArPCO9lsI

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WN2xMM8dL

“Where?” Liyana asked.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo4jD8owMO

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohEULdkiUe

The girl looked around.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEenQ53I3sI

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZoOzE5Wnq

“Between its rules.”

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlBCPqIj7M

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNP79Iq3g4

Silence.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtnHBMaHS9

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9hKiBtLIa

Liyana didn’t fully understand—

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwCZLVD4KZ

but she felt the truth in it.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnDM8Uxht5

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH0S3AtMdx

“You’re like me…” she said slowly.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvVWTQUqAN

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqWLvFMWpl

The girl nodded.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HkGwaL3T5

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC5XKWn3AJ

“No color. No category.”

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONucSLnd1q

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGUr8W6wh1

“Errors.”

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1vEYcuqCe

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHv2Wk7SOe

Liyana shook her head.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVneGjGt85

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDrpWmCbVB

“No.”

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1cVP2StQP

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7J2TngQ5U

Her voice grew stronger.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8uYXuFtCY

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lFIUHZNfK

“We’re not errors.”

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwoCAiJ40R

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv3CDKDhnx

A small pause.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg88OEQAXCT

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFe4PriQFM

Then—

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIFGblrHQ3

something changed in their expressions.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86wlDDw6w3

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwUbCthuZn

Hope.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspd8fMFl5I

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC4RSmFAA8

For the first time.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD4RsmB8o7

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9exaB9Qtl

Suddenly—

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoNLFOykzO

a loud alarm shattered the moment.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkZboznTqh

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7scFUaUkJ

Red light flashed across the room.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZPHysxsrB

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9tj1L4qqV

“System breach detected.”

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr77Rcs3EG1

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLMdWwvgDO

“Unauthorized presence.”

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU8gzpZuU7

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFq72UyDfV

The walls trembled slightly.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3lKQUGpQl

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOnpkWfHal

“They found us,” someone whispered.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90aBjGxoQk

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZKxhoOcjy

The calm girl turned to Liyana.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOK4PctShD

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN1qqEouWE

“You broke the system,” she said.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCdFbmhQMs

“That’s why it woke us up.”

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon8cCDifXM

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fzfaQN5RU

Liyana stared at her.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkhzDRYNpn

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOf0LgddOe

“I didn’t mean to—”

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB6TyD3OJg

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbePxCbNC1G

“It doesn’t matter,” the girl cut in.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VEsl94f5M

“What matters is what you do now.”

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaCUnFQxNx

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FYQZSRmbe

The alarm grew louder.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2zJaK9Nrc

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShGnxT7FH1

Footsteps echoed outside.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrSRzi1XyV

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JZNbO3Vbf

Fast.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlht9Bq1QCb

Heavy.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtIp1qNkua

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOp2m5T515

“They’re coming,” someone said.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSBrVof24Y

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe6lD8lh4e

Fear spread.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQC8knPi1y

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBF0bgIZQq

But not panic.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ902uclMZ

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOhqIudLU4

Not anymore.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPVEwUTALU

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxjt6LLtId

The girl stepped closer to Liyana.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlQmgOuAHV

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6fi5i7KBW

“You have a choice.”

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jswBVTOnK

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFinPBoB2W

A pause.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2SDzXGTo5

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DRACmqZMh

“Go back… and pretend you belong.”

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouQr51gYN7

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyTtakar5I

Another pause.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiKv1hVGq4

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn0v8h32vE

“Or come with us…”

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGbXbXWZ5W

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEbQnxjEVH

The door shook violently.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkdjNJ8dny

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eVwjIGRSy

“…and break the system completely.”

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjSmY1b7og

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLOPLeazi6

Silence.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTej0PcW4g

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMJD1h4Nkw

Liyana’s heart raced.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmyFXA1PKl

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydMMoxT0WN

This was it.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT61GbrZeE

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC0g8fS2Il

No more confusion.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ4N9esQCP

No more questions.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuCrTpUgy0

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW199AWhrZ

A decision.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qw7GiI7az

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpojgg9dHN

She looked at them.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOMe5rAbwj

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOKYro6IzN

At people who had been erased.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhr0sYjFf6

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVwzL58lIQ

Forgotten.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iMLGhzEy4

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2L7fG9ge9

Hidden.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiVfVnPtQq

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0H4snYP5C

Then—

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xWOVMHkL7

she looked at the door.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVnaWpQhJG

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck3v45xo2v

At the system trying to control everything.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6Jj5f90xV

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsutDjpH8Dc

Her fear didn’t disappear.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMrIwuuW7G

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qeyqAuDhl

But something else grew stronger.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2x47lYuJs

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoyTZ08eiQ

Determination.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqUSORptNX

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouRHjPZOs6

“I’m done hiding,” she said.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNcFZ1qyLM

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK4QP1XaCU

The girl smiled.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbNYOHTQIL

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrOyFJRbh3

“Good.”

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupNQTM0KxV

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PR6lGuLLA

The door burst open.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1Z1nm3dai

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIq1f2aWjt

Blinding light flooded in.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47IuLe9lZc

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq08GxAqLUn

Figures in silver coats rushed forward.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYtzd8nNGu

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7f5jgxIcR

“STOP!”

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ggI8oOhZG

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNfygjWhe0

Too late.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuyfzun89Y

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSPUEJqnTA

The lights flickered.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ18QQCgqNZ

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO45RE13s04

The shadows moved.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmPH60jd0k

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFBc0NSJ05

And in the chaos—

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8qOSifPcH

they disappeared.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzLvdymSak

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hY9aQQD6I

Not running.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbWzx8VGnr

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWMERfzODf

Not escaping.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2HQ68n1AG

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTTV5ZfqSG

Vanishing.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUE6Ez8dBo

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZcyoIHHWH

Right in front of the system itself.

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXL87f8HC4

---

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn1GihgIIQ

And this time—

72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIGKXLS9rJ

they weren’t alone anymore.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdgja09IqJ
