Larmine POV
It’s been a few weeks since Jake and Gray finally left me. Starting from that day I lived normally again. Just as that two disappeared like bubbles, that was the signal that I was out of the dimension of their work.
Many people also left immediately as if nothing had happened…
That's really how it is. Everything is fine. No problem.
I'm living normally.
"Boss. You haven't eaten lunch yet." said one of my secretaries.
Let me rephrase what I've said earlier. Starting from that day I lived abnormally.
"Did Arlene call yet?" she shooked her head. "Solenn?"
"Not either"
I sighed in defeat.
I don’t know what’s going on with them. Ever since I came back here, they still haven't come back. Am I the only one got fired out? Am I the only one who doesn't need?
"Boss, do you have a problem? These past few weeks, you're not in your natural self. You know, the damn fashionist with a good heart," she sat in front of me. "Boss, we're all infected with you. The energy level of our auras here in the company keeps going down. Larmine, tell me the truth."
I don’t know what to answer. Will she believe I came from the other dimension? That my best friends are still there? That we have fought wolves? Powers?
I know she'll just laugh at me.
It's so damn hard. You have a problem but you can't tell others. Just the weight of the feeling.
Besides, I have one more thing to worry about. Here is Gray's necklace with me. I'm wearing it now. Gray secretly gave it to me. He threw in my direction as Jake pulled him away.
"Are you heart broken, Larmine?"
I raised an eyebrow at her. "Excuse me, you already had going 'Larmine' with me? I'm your boss."
She sighed, before standing up. "Sure, boss." she picked up the papers and folders on my desk. "By the way, Larmine. Open all the gift piles in my office. It's all from all the staffs here. They put a lot of effort into making you smile. Bye." she said then left my office.
Even if it's a few more gifts, I won't be happy. I leaned back in the swivel chair, before turning it and facing the window.
What could be happening to them? I have also been going back and forth to the place where we last met for a few days. I was just speculating that they might come back, or Gray, to find me again.
I look forward to that. Because everytime something happens to me Gray is always there to save me.
Nevertheless, I was scared. What if something bad happened to them? I don't want to think about it but it's inevitable, especially since their opponent is a monster.
Maybe something happened so Arlene and Solenn can't come back yet. What if something really happened? Will they return to their world? But why aren't my friends there yet?
If something like that happened to them, they might have been left somewhere else.
I was stunned at my own thought.
Right!
What if they were placed far from here?! Maybe I need to find them. Or maybe they're just going here? Or maybe, I can roam around places, maybe I can meet them from… from the other side, there is a chance that I can re -enter them and we can all meet each other again!
But, I was caught in the necklace I was wearing.
"Gosh, Larmine… Argh! I might have gone crazy if I had continued the thought about it."
Overthinking.
I decided to go out of the office. I'll just eat out, alone.
I went into a fast food chain and ordered two piece chicken and two cups of rice.
"Here's your order, ma'am. Enjoy!"
The waitress smiled at me before leaving.
I'm not going to enjoy it, can't I just be hungry?
I just started eating, because hunger only increases my bad mood.
"Larmine,"
I stopped eating rice. I lowered the spoon and searched for the source of that voice. My forehead furrowed when I saw no one looking at me. I looked at the customers talking, maybe I just had the same name on them.
I just shrugged and went back to eating. I was just imagining that.
"Larmine,"
The second time I missed that again. Maybe I'm hallucinating because of hunger.
"Larmine, Larmine..."
I stopped eating again, before slowly letting go of the spoonful of meat and rice.
"Come back… Larmine."
I immediately stood up, causing customers to suddenly look back at me. The waiters and waitresses were also stopped in what they were doing for only a short time. I was also shaken by the look. Other customers are also laughing.
"Larmine."
I can’t go wrong, because that’s Gray’s voice!
"Miss—"
I was surprised at the waitress who suddenly spoke from behind me. I accidentally stumbled upon a tray with only two glasses of water.
Unfortunately, the glasses just fell off its tray. All the water in them was thrown away.
"Miss, are you okay?" she said.
She called a waiter to assist in the spilled water.
"Miss, do you have a problem?"
I can't speak. Just open your mouth. I bowed, before looking at the spilled water. There I saw my reflection.
"Miss?"
I felt haze, I feel like the water absorbing me. I also suddenly had a headache…
"Miss?"
I never missed another opportunity. I immediately ran out of the fastfood, then ran and ran.
"Larmine."
I touched the necklace. It's him. Gray! I will return, I will return to the place where they last left me. None of my own thought made me smile. I just kept running when suddenly I stumbled. I fell on my knees.
"Ahh! Oh my gosh! Stupid!"
I don’t expect a self -remembering like me to just be left vulnerable. It's still full of dust here. The stench of what I fell on. But I didn't understand that yet. It seems like, I'm used to it.
I sat up slowly.
There was a sore on my knees, because there my legs were weak. My palms are also scratched. I just closing my eyes to the crap I've done. It's still raining. Nice, rain really knows how to get exposures to epic moments.
"Larmine..."
I gulped.
"G-Gray…"
As soon as I opened my eyes I was exposed to my reflection in the water. I can't explain what I feel. Same as before, I seem to be absorbed by it. There’s something about it pulling my whole eye. It’s like a hypnotism. I can't get my eyes off it. I'm being hypnotized by my own reflection. By my own eyes.
My vision started to get blurry, along with a bit of dizziness. Suddenly, a flash of images.
|•
A group of soldiers, carrying each others weapons.
"Start!!!"
They were immediately welcomed by countless numbers of wolves.
"Come on, Larmine!" Leo immediately called me.
We jumped into the bloody battle. I could see from where I was how hard the other guardians were fighting.
This can't be…
"Let's hurry to the palace!" Solenn said, before pulling the sword from the chest of a wolf. I agreed with her.

What's this? I can't go wrong… Are those memories?!
Are we reincarnated ?!
No, no. It's impossible.
Because they live...
Beyond The Galaxy.
I was just back to reality when suddenly someone hugged me from behind.
"Sorry…" he said.
