Dhammawitaya School Rooftop – 1:03 p.m.8964 copyright protection83PENANAe5cxvfdAcG 維尼
Rain.8964 copyright protection83PENANAKtx0hK7mV9 維尼
It started as a soft drizzle—almost peaceful.8964 copyright protection83PENANAVpjyyqn9Jx 維尼
But soon, the wind picked up, sweeping through the rooftop like a whispering ghost. The sky darkened, clouds thick and heavy, like the tension in the group.8964 copyright protection83PENANA93GFi0ogx6 維尼
Sol stood under the overhang, staring at nothing. His hoodie soaked. His jaw tight.8964 copyright protection83PENANAN9wZD4M3Lc 維尼
Behind him, Rin sat, leaning against the water tank, trying not to look weak. His skin had paled. Sweat beaded on his forehead. He gripped his arm tightly under the long sleeve.8964 copyright protection83PENANAGLAkVxZqPR 維尼
Each throb of pain was louder than the last.8964 copyright protection83PENANAdYjaRtUy7v 維尼
Jet and Tae argued over their next move.8964 copyright protection83PENANA0PBAzQAHtk 維尼
“We can’t just sit up here forever!” Tae snapped. “There are hundreds down there. If they break into the building, we’re dead.”8964 copyright protection83PENANA3B3bdsdYoh 維尼
Jet crossed his arms. “And what, we run out there and become lunch?”8964 copyright protection83PENANA0tvwmHxUmC 維尼
“We should try for the admin building,” Mew said. “If the phones are still active, we might be able to contact someone.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAhUWzd6HAWu 維尼
“Who?” Jet laughed bitterly. “The police? The army? No one’s coming.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAoNhUxlhguY 維尼
Sol turned, voice low but sharp. “We have to believe someone will.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAiXikTgw2ic 維尼
Everyone fell silent.8964 copyright protection83PENANAMDSl0Si91P 維尼
Eli, crouched near the ledge, watched them all quietly.8964 copyright protection83PENANAHFFWfBsAaE 維尼
His gaze flicked to Rin.8964 copyright protection83PENANAm6ImTrWDs7 維尼
And didn’t move.8964 copyright protection83PENANAmBl4lQkYR7 維尼

1:19 p.m.8964 copyright protection83PENANAzjyIwEjKq8 維尼
Rin’s vision blurred for a second.8964 copyright protection83PENANAjrO4hqkGrf 維尼
He blinked hard.8964 copyright protection83PENANAGyWYYgGJH2 維尼
No. Not now.8964 copyright protection83PENANA6p2Y5P6Ep5 維尼
He pressed his fingers against the wound under his sleeve. It burned—like fire crawling under his skin.8964 copyright protection83PENANA4qByECTUct 維尼
He heard footsteps and looked up.8964 copyright protection83PENANAoSNfkdrBOp 維尼
Sol stood there, holding a bottle of water and a protein bar.8964 copyright protection83PENANALt1Azw49EZ 維尼
“You need to eat something.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAk55DtVRxMA 維尼
“I’m fine.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAAWR9XjPG8w 維尼
“You’re not.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAqF4dbOwGO8 維尼
Rin sighed and reached for the bar. Their fingers brushed.8964 copyright protection83PENANALdH7exOQ9l 維尼
Sol didn’t pull away.8964 copyright protection83PENANAVyWP6zDd5q 維尼
“You’re burning up,” Sol said softly.8964 copyright protection83PENANAlTh8xt5AWu 維尼
“I’ve had worse hangovers.”8964 copyright protection83PENANA6TrdLipvWZ 維尼
“Stop pretending.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAADMsMYwJA8 維尼
Rin looked at him, suddenly tired.8964 copyright protection83PENANAWFGCCeWEsp 維尼
“I don’t want to scare them.”8964 copyright protection83PENANA58ScQe7dwP 維尼
“You’re scared,” Sol whispered.8964 copyright protection83PENANALF1NCpmB28 維尼
Rin didn’t answer.8964 copyright protection83PENANAUh5GlKszwX 維尼
Sol knelt in front of him. Rain still fell gently around them, the only sound for a moment.8964 copyright protection83PENANAXaMu9s5Wrw 維尼
“I’m not going to let you go,” Sol said. “We’ll find a way.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAD9O1sDwyXH 維尼
“You really believe that?”8964 copyright protection83PENANAjji7e7TynN 維尼
“I have to.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAtxOZy0Glmi 維尼
Rin stared into his eyes.8964 copyright protection83PENANA4PaFbQjDLI 維尼
Then leaned in slowly—8964 copyright protection83PENANAnaHwfvJxPe 維尼
Their foreheads touched.8964 copyright protection83PENANAtbLNOiNBtq 維尼
“I don’t want to turn into him,” Rin whispered. “Into Tinn.”8964 copyright protection83PENANA5OVQTJXWOL 維尼
“You won’t.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAwP0eEPvYLF 維尼
“I’m not strong like Eli. I’m not... special.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAfjXbMrN22o 維尼
“You’re Rin,” Sol said firmly. “And that’s enough.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAcM08D7EmtF 維尼

1:37 p.m.8964 copyright protection83PENANACp2sWZP46j 維尼
Eli finally broke his silence.8964 copyright protection83PENANAdwfBQOlQQA 維尼
He walked straight to Jet and said, “He’s infected.”8964 copyright protection83PENANALaTkjBFOyz 維尼
Jet blinked. “Who?”8964 copyright protection83PENANAOsCdyBcjx4 維尼
“Rin.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAzNO0NVcASO 維尼
Jet froze. “Are you sure?”8964 copyright protection83PENANAZMW64uRaLz 維尼
“I saw the bite. He’s hiding it.”8964 copyright protection83PENANA4URFQyvoNs 維尼
Tae overheard. “You’re serious?”8964 copyright protection83PENANA4ifQN3xxBY 維尼
“He got bit in the gym. They didn’t tell anyone.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAMpAiniKqBl 維尼
Jet’s face darkened. “So what? We just wait for him to turn and kill one of us?”8964 copyright protection83PENANAKoyhgIMmQb 維尼
“No,” Eli said softly. “He hasn’t changed. Not yet.”8964 copyright protection83PENANApFZesvmSJG 維尼
“And you would know?” Tae snapped.8964 copyright protection83PENANAA86zLeYDkf 維尼
Eli didn’t flinch. “Yes. Because I’m the same.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAwYRlEPsWhi 維尼
The group froze.8964 copyright protection83PENANAU5N8T7kaKF 維尼
Jet stared at him. “What?”8964 copyright protection83PENANAjLn5SziaLS 維尼
“I was bitten too,” Eli said. “Two days ago. But I didn’t turn.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAVnTif6SIGy 維尼
“You’re lying.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAHNHmk1rQTr 維尼
“I’m not.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAIVj1N7DTt3 維尼
“Then how are you still... you?”8964 copyright protection83PENANAe8mkU3E1js 維尼
“I don’t know. I think some people… mutate differently. The virus doesn’t kill us—it merges.”8964 copyright protection83PENANA1eGvi1fsMi 維尼
Tae took a step back. “So you’re saying Rin might be like you?”8964 copyright protection83PENANAF4JOmZqn3C 維尼
“He might,” Eli said. “But if you corner him, if you make him feel like a threat—he will become one.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAw7xUiNG7TW 維尼
Jet looked shaken. “You should’ve told us sooner.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAvmU2AOA6UT 維尼
“I didn’t because people like you panic.”8964 copyright protection83PENANANSRdbR6qzz 維尼
“Hey!”8964 copyright protection83PENANAU97SXdJZGS 維尼
“Look around, Jet,” Eli snapped. “We’re all scared. But if you push this, if you turn this place into a witch hunt—none of us will make it out.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAWblJQ3cAVM 維尼

2:06 p.m.8964 copyright protection83PENANApEydvh0L3c 維尼
Rin was asleep when they came.8964 copyright protection83PENANA1CsqjmgeTr 維尼
Jet. Tae. Mew.8964 copyright protection83PENANA54Av7PBNGo 維尼
And Sol, standing between them and Rin.8964 copyright protection83PENANA9D1M6ObEEo 維尼
“He’s sick,” Jet said. “We can’t ignore that.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAHwOAqLJj80 維尼
Sol’s hands balled into fists. “He’s not a danger.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAqyiV3cdgnS 維尼
“He will be.”8964 copyright protection83PENANASHiK9xjeqE 維尼
“You didn’t see him fight for us. He could’ve killed Tinn—he risked himself to save me!”8964 copyright protection83PENANAzCqLh2h2OF 維尼
Tae looked uncertain. “What if he loses control?”8964 copyright protection83PENANAR4TODNZuvy 維尼
“Then I’ll stop him,” Sol said. “But until then... he stays.”8964 copyright protection83PENANA22KeH8O0ne 維尼
Jet turned to Mew. “Say something.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAxc78zCnhsO 維尼
Mew shrugged. “If Sol’s willing to die for him, that’s his call. But if Rin so much as growls in his sleep, I’m not waiting around.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAlMJT7HRCFG 維尼
They left after that.8964 copyright protection83PENANA3Drdpmem9y 維尼
Sol sat down beside Rin again.8964 copyright protection83PENANASYdlO64REh 維尼
And felt the first tear hit his cheek.8964 copyright protection83PENANAm3VFjbRuLO 維尼
Rin stirred.8964 copyright protection83PENANA49hDtNbpRJ 維尼
Opened his eyes.8964 copyright protection83PENANAkx6vpGfAtG 維尼
“You still here?” he whispered.8964 copyright protection83PENANAMEMI0dAr5s 維尼
“Yeah,” Sol said, his voice breaking. “Always.”8964 copyright protection83PENANAwtt4kQL0QV 維尼
---8964 copyright protection83PENANAGcdXWVBojO 維尼
2:30 p.m.8964 copyright protection83PENANAWppAfSBzeW 維尼
Eli sat alone near the edge of the roof, staring down at his trembling hands.8964 copyright protection83PENANA16uBoN89nv 維尼
He’d told the truth.8964 copyright protection83PENANAoXz22CEUVb 維尼
But not all of it.8964 copyright protection83PENANACj3gJN441z 維尼
He wasn’t just like Rin.8964 copyright protection83PENANAQENFSUSPZI 維尼
He was changing.8964 copyright protection83PENANAfyQcS3CnGK 維尼
He could hear things.8964 copyright protection83PENANASYdBhbwcrF 維尼
Smell them.8964 copyright protection83PENANA4eqqmduwwu 維尼
Feel the others.8964 copyright protection83PENANAQXB716ZQbl 維尼
Even Tinn.8964 copyright protection83PENANAYErL7sLSIN 維尼
He wasn’t just surviving anymore.8964 copyright protection83PENANA7hGMXOrz1y 維尼
He was evolving.8964 copyright protection83PENANASIGmajmfCt 維尼
