I was quite confused. I went to the girls, healed them, and sat next to them. The village guards rushed over due to the explosion to see what was happening. I told them that a man dressed in black appeared and did this. They simply took us to the clinic for a check-up and a statement.
When we finally arrived at the clinic, my mother, Lux, rushed over, frantic.
"Aether!" She wrapped me in a tight hug. She grabbed me by the shoulders. "They told me that an entire hill... collapsed! The ground was steaming! What happened? Who was it?"
Her voice cracked. "Prometheus, what are you hiding from me? What have you become?... Don't do that again!" She released me for a moment and looked at me scrutinizingly.
Once the girls were checked, I gave my statement. Fortunately, the sergeant's superior was a bit naive, and I was able to convince him with my story about the "man in black."
My mother returned to her job, and I went to see the girls. Galaxia was sleeping soundly.
I went to Hitomi. I just watched her sleep. I sat in the chair next to her bed, looking at my hands. Was I still human? Or had I become something much darker?
I thought: "If I had made one mistake, it could have cost them their lives..."
I grasped my face and whispered: "What's happening to me?… What has become of me?"
I looked at Hitomi and eventually rested my head on the edge of the bed and closed my eyes.
Time passed, and in the evening, Hitomi woke up. When she realized I was sleeping, she smiled. His head was resting on her right hand.
She tried to stroke my hair, but then she saw the black-blue-purple electricity they talked about. It lightly struck her, but at the same time, it was caressing her hand...
When my parents came to pick me up, the sergeant sa,d: "Mrs. Loux, should I come for security at your house?" looking at me with a skeptical gaze.
My mother looked at me, saying, "Hey, Prometheus, go to the girls. What do you say? We want to talk to the sergeant."
I went to Hitomi's room, and she had gotten ready. We decided to go to Galaxia. Hitomi shook her forcefully.
"Wake up, pig!" she shouted at her.
Galaxia simply stretched, saying, "Mmm, you're not wrong. Prometheus, outside! I need to get ready."
When everything was ready, we left for home, so we could rest, because the next day starts dynamically! The academies were waiting for us!
