Part V

It's still two in the afternoon...

I think I rested enough.

Just when I thought that I got out of bed and looked at my surroundings: I didn't think the residential area was that considerate of the individual.

It's like living in a makeshift house with the necessary equipment: a bed with several sets of blankets; a small table with two wooden chairs; a window and a door with two pairs of security keys.

And although it may seem poor, there is a lamp and just above on the wall, a bookshelf.

It seems that there is a library to search for books and read in the comfort of your home (cell) without interruptions.

With this type of luxury it would not be a bother to spend my days reading and studying all kinds of things, but time is short if we consider how much we lose and believe that what we have of this is not enough.

After I finished washing my face and brushing my teeth, (the house includes a new toothpaste in its package as well as the toothbrush) I left that indefinite place and began to walk through the streets of zone B-2.

It is interesting to see the aesthetics of the streets inside a large cage, or more like being trapped in the center of a labyrinth with laboratory origins, and I well remember the similar greenish characteristics on the large stone walls, there are also trees that maintain the nature and the fresh environment.

The variation is exciting, unlike large cities lacking original nature, between the concrete and the green color here; and the greatest care of it.

The only harmful thing is its inhabitants, and if it weren't for them, I would walk forever lost with the sound of the rain, guided by the gales, and tangled in vines around this place.

After several minutes of walking I finally arrived at a large establishment that seems to be my destination.

People arrived and lined up inside to serve themselves food at the dispenser.

Noticing that they were increasing every time, I also hurriedly reserved my place.

I didn't think I'd arrive right at lunchtime, so I should be grateful for my luck.

Being soon my turn and with the tray in hand I proceeded to select the most decent, although most are unappetizing and of low quality, or mostly raw and neglected, there is a vital balance of proteins; and this being what is necessary so that the individual does not die from malnutrition.

I miss the good food and the luxuries of the outside...

Guffy: Hey my brother!

Says an unexpected person while raising his hand.

It seems he arrived before me to eat.

Guffy: Sit over here.

Mikael: I was already wondering where you were.

Guffy: Until a while ago I was sleeping.

Mikael: I wouldn't be surprised after what we went through...

It doesn't matter where you are as long as you can rest properly.

Mikael: Everything is very new for me, but I think I can adapt.

Guffy: As long as we don't get unnecessarily involved with these guys, we'll be fine.

Guffy: This system is very different from the one on the streets, my brother, so it's best to be as cautious as possible.

Certainly, there are still so many things unknown that the fact of believing you are at home is not realizing that you also live with predators.

Guffy: Brother, I want to apologize for dragging you here with me.

Saying that with regret and sadness, he apologizes to me.

It is visible that he wanted to apologize since we were in the cell but he did not do so at that moment when we were surrounded by other people.

Mikael: Let's not give importance to that, what's done is already done and blaming someone or bothering to vent angry feelings will not make everything go back to the way it was before.

The realities we live will not always be like the moments we imagine and we must accept what has currently happened.

Not doing so is foolish and selfish on the part of our nature.

Mikael: Actually I was the one who agreed to play your game, so I already knew what the consequences were. So let's put that aside and focus on trying to survive.

After hearing me speak, he smiled back to normal.

Guffy: You really are peculiar my brother, you are absolutely right.

Once his emotions were brought back to reality, that should be enough to get him out of the corner he was in.

I don't need Guffy to be like this right now, since she will only intervene in the future and I would like to avoid pending setbacks.

Guffy: What will you do now my brother?

Mikael: I would like to go to the library.

There should be one.

Or so I thought when I suddenly felt a peculiar presence approaching us.

Both Guffy and I looked at each other momentarily sharing the same thought and continued acting as if nothing had happened.

...: Excuse me if I interrupt you, but I'm going to sit with you.

After taking a seat next to us, coincidentally very close to us, he joins our talk without warning.

To me, this guy is a stubborn and pale-looking connection; sharp look and disdainful eyes. But as for Guffy, the first time I see him with his guard up as he looks at him intently and seriously, but still maintaining a perfectly natural and calm attitude.

It seems that he does know him or at least knows about that one.

Guffy: I didn't think you'd show up so soon, Piranha.

Piranha: I was casually walking around here until I saw you and I was surprised, so I thought I would say hello.

Guffy: I don't think being locked up for so long would have made you friendlier.
