He piled school's tools one by one besides the school walls like before. Looking at him trying hard, Xuyun chuckled, unconsciously. After Sui's hard work in piling a step stone, Xuyun jumped easily instead, without any tools.

Sui complained, "senior, why didn't you tell me this?"

"You have to put in effort even when skipping class."

Sui pouted. Xuyun smiled in his heart.

"How do you feel after learning the truth for the first time?" Xuyun began 'interrogating' him while they walked to the arcade.

Sui stared at him, trying to remember how it felt. "The first death I've seen was my friend's. I was terrified by this vision and told him. We were trying to avoid the cause of his death," he said, slowly. "But, even though we had successfully avoid the cause, he still died from another cause. Then I realized that death is really cruel.

"After that, I came to understand that every people will eventually die. I didn't get too emotional anymore, didn't try to change the future anymore."

He looked at Xuyun. "You will do fine too after this, senior. After all, you have ended a lot of lives. Ha-ha-ha." He stopped laughing after receiving mental stabs from Xuyun's stare.

Xuyun had killed a lot of people before. He felt like he had been used by 'death' as it's personal killing weapon. He felt like shit.

"So, what are you doing in arcade? You got no talent."

Sui played a shooting game. Waste of money, really, because the game ended in one minute when it should have lasted at least five.

Maybe because he was now with his beloved senior, he didn't make any ruckus this time. Seeing him only cursed slowly after playing badly a few time, Xuyun sneered.

"You cursed loudly and kicked the machines last time. Go on, do it now."

His words shocked Sui, making him red from embarrassment. "How can I do that when you're here??"

Xuyun smiled. This shocked Sui more.

"You're so handsome while smiling, senior! Please smile more!" he shouted unconsciously. He raised his hands, wanting to touch Xuyun's dimple, but got caught by Xuyun. Before he could scold the boy, something fell, making a loud sound.
