Chapter 6: Vol. 0: I Lost || Chapter 5 Pale Face Girl

Several times Astan inhaled and exhaled, he hurried away from the house.  As we got closer to the exit, a thick white mist came quickly covering all the beautiful scenery.  Astan stands right in front of the door that has a right hand engraved on it. Without thinking, Astan put his right hand on the engraving.  Within seconds the door opened slowly and he walked out. Doors and long stairs again had to be passed until Astan was in the last room. Astan could very clearly hear the spooky sounds, but he kept walking without looking left or right, trying to ignore them.

 However, when Astan was at the last door.  A familiar female voice sounded, without thinking Astan slowly turned around.  Astan can clearly see the figure of a woman with long black hair. The two stared at each other for a few seconds, but a red liquid immediately leaked out of the woman's stomach, seeping through to make the white cloth reddened with blood.  Astan's breath began to pant, as if he ran out of oxygen to breathe, seeds of sweat fell from his temples. The laughter grew louder, as did the crying.

 In an instant Astan woke up from his sleep and glanced at the walker clock on the table.  The hands of the clock had pointed to 07:00 in the morning. Astan rushes to do his morning routine, take a shower, cook, and have breakfast.  After everything was done, he went to leave the kitchen furniture in the laundry. Astan confidently heads towards District B-3, where Santya Academy is located.  With a smile Astan walked in until he saw a garden filled with tables and people. He walks towards the park with a beaming face, Astan wanders around to choose a company until he catches a familiar male figure to his memory, namely Endra.  Astan walks up to Endra and greets him first. For a few seconds their eyes met each other, they smiled widely with pleasure.

 "What are you doing here?  Would you like to apply at our office?”  asked Endra with a happy face.

 "Yes," replied Astan with an awkward smile.

 "No need to be so awkward, just put it on the table."  Endra said by giving paper and pen to Astan.

 "Fill out the form first," said Endra with a smile on his face.  Astan fills out a quick form and gives it to Endra.

 After that, Astan continued to look for several companies that matched his qualifications.  Several hours had passed, the sun was in the middle. Making the worms in Astan's stomach sing, he saw several tables starting to tidy up.  With a bit of embarrassment, Astan ventured to ask one of the people wearing the Santya Academy alma mater coat. Astan immediately went to the canteen.  He put the duffel bag on the table, unzipped it and took out a light blue water bottle. He took a quick gulp to quench his thirst. He went to the cashier to order food.  Not long after, Astan's order was finished and he took a tray containing a white bowl and a glass of sweet iced tea. Astan returns to the table where he sits and eats instant noodles with chicken onion flavor topped with chicken meatballs mixed with several types of fresh vegetables.

 While eating his lunch, Astan occasionally looks around the cafeteria.  He accidentally saw a woman wearing white clothes and a pale face following a foreign man.  Astan continued to watch him until the man sat up. The female figure just stood behind the person she was following.  Hugging him with both hands that were deathly pale until a few seconds later, something happened to that person. People paid attention and whispered to each other.

 No one even wanted to help, until several well-dressed people came with a flat-faced man.  The man seemed to be doing something that made the female figure out of the man's body. Astan's two eyes accidentally collided with the pale-faced woman.  For a few seconds they stared at each other until a hand tapped Astan's shoulder. Astan immediately looked to his left and Endra was standing near him. With a serious face Endra watched the rest of the incident.

 "What happened?"  asked Endra with a curious face.

 "Possession," Astan replied quickly and returned to enjoying his instant noodles.

 "Oh," said Endra, sitting down with Astan.  Endra took a glass of sweet iced tea and drank it until not a drop remained.  Astan who realized it could only stay silent gave an annoyed look.

 “Why are you drinking my sweet iced tea?”  asked Astan.

 "I'm thirsty," replied Endra with a smile that showed off his white teeth.

 "Relax, I'll buy you."  Endra spoke again and quickly stood up from his seat.

 Endra walked to the cashier to order.  After finishing with the order, Endra brought a tray containing one plate and two glasses and returned to the table, sitting right next to Astan.  They enjoyed the meal together until there was nothing left at all. When they were done, they parted ways and in the still bustling hallway Astan walked alone.  Now he was at the bus stop waiting a few minutes for the bus to arrive. He came in and sat in the very back seat and leaned his head against the mirror.

 Astan slowly closed his eyes, but this made the atmosphere around him even worse.  No sound could be heard. However, one second later. A woman's voice whispered in Astan's right ear.

 "What do you want?"  asked Astan, opening his eyes quickly.  All back to normal, sound and atmosphere around.  Buses are starting to get crowded by several passengers, the streets are also filled with vehicles.

 "Help me," answered the female figure in a low voice.

 When he heard the answer of the pale-faced woman, Astan was silent for a while until the bus stopped.  Astan approaches the exit and gives 5 Weal to the assistant driver and walks away from the bus stop until he passes a gate with the words 'Welcome to District B-4'.  He still enjoyed listening to the pale-faced woman's pleas, but he just kept quiet and didn't reply. Astan just glanced at the buildings on each side of the road that looked aged due to the fading paint color.

 District B-4 is mostly inhabited by people earning under 2500 Weal.  Buildings such as residences, schools, and so on do not look as good as they used to with bright and clean colors.  The buildings looked old with peeling walls and a dull white color. Astan walks into the mini market, towards the fridge which holds various kinds of drinks.  He took a small bottle of mocha-flavored coffee and rushed to pay. Astan walked slowly until he passed the gate of an apartment. He stood in front of the elevator until the door opened and quickly entered.  He pressed a number and immediately slid up. When the elevator was about to stop on the 14th floor, Astan took a sip of his coffee.
