Silas's POV
I thought something felt off, but nothing was actually wrong. We came home, and nothing happened.
After arriving, we placed the food on our plates and started eating the fried chicken. It was incredibly delicious—almost as if I hadn't eaten it in ages.
While eating, we didn't talk. Not a single word. We just ate in silence.
After we finished eating, Shine was exhausted. Since he hadn't taken his usual afternoon nap, he eventually went back to his room to rest.
I took the dishes to the kitchen and started washing them. As I scrubbed, my mind kept wandering.
Thoughts kept popping up—what was that shadow? And was that blood or just water on the road?
I couldn't help but dwell on those things, even though I knew it was just my imagination.
There was nothing there. Still... the thoughts kept circling in my mind as I washed the dishes.
