122. Time for you to go home

  "It's been a few weeks but those leaves haven't fallen yet." One of the brides with the red camellia said. "There are some of 'them' who want to go back then and neglect their duties. 'They' think that by stealing what's belong to the living, it can make 'them' come back."

'Did the brides use 'they' to refer that creature?' I thought. Somehow, the words from one of the brides with the red camellia reminded me of that shadow creature. The two of them did share something in common: stealing what's belong to the living. 'Could it be that what the brides referred to the organs that were stolen from humans?' I thought again.

I thought about it one more time, and when I looked up, I just realized that there wasn't just one leaf that didn't fall. If it was possible that it was 'them', then it would mean that there wasn't just only one shadow creature just like the one that was near my place at this moment.
