Dhammawitaya School – Music Room – 1:12 a.m.8964 copyright protection42PENANAihTlUvBEUA 維尼
They’d moved Rin inside after the rooftop fight. He was unconscious, wrapped in a blanket, pulse faint but steady.8964 copyright protection42PENANAMRwjCXSGVo 維尼
Sol sat beside him, not saying a word. His hand never left Rin’s.8964 copyright protection42PENANA4Cd948fKSM 維尼
Across the room, Jet paced like a caged animal. Tae sat quietly, arms around his knees, watching everyone like they might turn on him next.8964 copyright protection42PENANAYyjITEsDEg 維尼
Mew poured water from a broken bottle cap onto a rag, cleaning the blood off Jet’s face. “You’ve got a split lip.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAETOmhb0Fnr 維尼
“I’m fine,” he muttered.8964 copyright protection42PENANAV8hmi9fSOl 維尼
“You’re angry.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAxnnuVmWy3h 維尼
“Because we almost died again.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAwrVTuiETA9 維尼
“You mean Rin almost died for us.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAhdjT7AgsmC 維尼
Jet didn’t answer.8964 copyright protection42PENANAu9zruBGIUm 維尼

1:24 a.m.8964 copyright protection42PENANA0dxyxBefVO 維尼
Eli sat near the broken windows, staring out into the moonlit courtyard. The blood moon still hovered, crimson and cold.8964 copyright protection42PENANAgV3s9tcHE3 維尼
“You knew Tinn wasn’t dead,” Tae said quietly, approaching him.8964 copyright protection42PENANAZRTJWP7GsR 維尼
“I felt it,” Eli replied.8964 copyright protection42PENANAkZCV89SuwF 維尼
“You said he was the next stage. What does that mean?”8964 copyright protection42PENANAd3Z85o4awQ 維尼
Eli looked at him. Really looked.8964 copyright protection42PENANAPPZqAaz9Js 維尼
And finally… spoke.8964 copyright protection42PENANAvRJXWwkp3d 維尼
“I’m not immune. I’m not infected. I’m both.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAFycspDSwwh 維尼
Tae blinked. “What?”8964 copyright protection42PENANAPsztA5g6ca 維尼
“I was bitten months ago. Before the outbreak reached the city. I should’ve died. But I didn’t.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAHl88nDwPnj 維尼
“…Why not?”8964 copyright protection42PENANARWaY9FStaJ 維尼
Eli pulled his shirt collar down, revealing a bite mark.8964 copyright protection42PENANAl5XNLcAzE0 維尼
But it wasn’t rotted.8964 copyright protection42PENANAF6JxrMQ4gE 維尼
It shimmered—glowed—like it pulsed with life.8964 copyright protection42PENANAHPgkjImFZT 維尼
“I’m the first,” Eli said. “Patient Zero was my brother.”8964 copyright protection42PENANA8xzCQw6UhC 維尼
The room fell into shocked silence.8964 copyright protection42PENANAuZaAFmUCPr 維尼
“You’re saying—” Mew started.8964 copyright protection42PENANAUB33hJpxnt 維尼
“I didn’t start it,” Eli said quickly. “But I survived it. My brother changed first. He bit me before he went full rage. I should’ve turned. But my body… adapted. I’m not like them. Not like you either.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAiAt4xWDS53 維尼
Tae’s voice cracked. “Then what are you?”8964 copyright protection42PENANAURWoURxynS 維尼
Eli looked out the window again.8964 copyright protection42PENANAsTG4e4ULmG 維尼
“Something in between.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAjJgh6NJSui 維尼

Jet stood. “You should’ve told us.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAVl2WAme3kI 維尼
“I didn’t think you'd believe me.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAyEWvbSQw3J 維尼
“You’re right.”8964 copyright protection42PENANA2Kf4HLB3qo 維尼
“Still,” Sol said, “he’s saved our asses more than once.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAapJQiTv6xa 維尼
“Doesn’t mean I trust him.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAQkwLRZEONH 維尼
“You trusted me less,” Rin rasped suddenly from the corner, stirring.8964 copyright protection42PENANAbXEio0j16f 維尼
Sol turned, relief washing over his face. “You’re awake.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAvAwZQ0UbSG 維尼
“Barely,” Rin groaned, propping himself up. “Did we win?”8964 copyright protection42PENANAcW4ygHCvit 維尼
“You lived,” Jet muttered.8964 copyright protection42PENANAj8HGpOknUn 維尼
“Shame,” Rin smirked weakly.8964 copyright protection42PENANA3MB0SdSRpD 維尼

Eli stepped forward. “I think the virus is evolving.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAciq5wsH1Et 維尼
“What makes you say that?” Sol asked!8964 copyright protection42PENANAuXiEplEMvy 維尼
“Tinn was stronger. Faster. He didn’t hunt like the others. He strategized. That’s not random mutation.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAuGExsSP1E7 維尼
“Then what is it?” Mew asked.8964 copyright protection42PENANAndSkvUjdNp 維尼
“It’s… intentional. Like something is guiding them.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAnsHXGkIznY 維尼
“Don’t say hive mind,” Rin coughed.8964 copyright protection42PENANAWBngehy9nZ 維尼
“I don’t know if it’s that. But they’re getting smarter.”8964 copyright protection42PENANApiBfwkTe0n 維尼
“Smarter zombies?” Tae whispered. “That’s a nightmare.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAiWRWuYOa6j 維尼
“No,” Eli said. “That’s the next stage. And if we don’t leave this school soon, we won’t survive it.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAFtxXlxDgi4 維尼

2:16 a.m. – Infirmary Hallway8964 copyright protection42PENANAXtSFTPo9kd 維尼
Jet stood alone, hands braced against a shattered locker.8964 copyright protection42PENANADg9EMN7B7o 維尼
He felt sick.8964 copyright protection42PENANAosFBdN2wsB 維尼
Not just tired—rotten.8964 copyright protection42PENANAXPBjisIfmo 維尼
His stomach churned.8964 copyright protection42PENANAOHgtLNnkCM 維尼
His skin tingled.8964 copyright protection42PENANAXKodffEBl6 維尼
Then—8964 copyright protection42PENANAKXeqDQ6G9y 維尼
He lifted his sleeve.8964 copyright protection42PENANAMQHceb3xrw 維尼
There it was.8964 copyright protection42PENANAY5mgQf5FtP 維尼
A scratch.8964 copyright protection42PENANA5CaFZ4neej 維尼
Thin.8964 copyright protection42PENANAPTjPzVUX9Z 維尼
Fresh.8964 copyright protection42PENANAkRDMajFv3F 維尼
From when Tinn tackled him.8964 copyright protection42PENANAmTfSRoltgK 維尼
His breath caught.8964 copyright protection42PENANAlLKE3tmxK9 維尼
“No,” he whispered. “No, no…”8964 copyright protection42PENANAQ7wrkuXqUj 維尼
He backed into the shadows, heart racing.8964 copyright protection42PENANALZDv24RddU 維尼
Did he tell them?8964 copyright protection42PENANAUqipAD8BUp 維尼
Would they leave him behind?8964 copyright protection42PENANA3cvlDIMUsb 維尼
Would Tae cry?8964 copyright protection42PENANADBtWrWOmlG 維尼
Would Mew panic?8964 copyright protection42PENANA2k9X0rAgaf 維尼
Would Sol kill him?8964 copyright protection42PENANA1VSdzfqn9o 維尼
He gritted his teeth.8964 copyright protection42PENANAF4496X5zKK 維尼
I can fight it. I have to fight it.8964 copyright protection42PENANARycKWI8Dbu 維尼
But somewhere in his mind…8964 copyright protection42PENANAfc4AXDpOQL 維尼
He already knew.8964 copyright protection42PENANAcDQd5J94Np 維尼

2:41 a.m. – Classroom8964 copyright protection42PENANAsMO7i63n20 維尼
Tae sat beside Rin now. Sol was asleep against the wall, his arm still draped over Rin’s lap.8964 copyright protection42PENANAorJJLWJAbo 維尼
“Are we monsters now?” Tae asked softly.8964 copyright protection42PENANAw113Yrg2XZ 維尼
Rin opened one eye. “Maybe.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAI1KBRFTsaz 維尼
“I keep thinking… we don’t cry when we kill them anymore.”8964 copyright protection42PENANATLTs9c1Aui 維尼
“They’re not people anymore.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAtdXI65eVoa 維尼
Tae frowned. “But they were. They had parents. Friends. Lovers.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAw9eQ6hwejJ 維尼
Rin looked at him.8964 copyright protection42PENANAwm7i6WZvJO 維尼
“You know what makes you not a monster?”8964 copyright protection42PENANAb99VJiDAqH 維尼
“…What?”8964 copyright protection42PENANALR0WYvRbbT 維尼
“Feeling guilty about it.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAUh4BeogDCZ 維尼

2:57 a.m. – Courtyard8964 copyright protection42PENANAZq8Ivwee9v 維尼
Eli stood at the broken gate, staring at something in the dark.8964 copyright protection42PENANAQgxTt0jpJU 維尼
A figure.8964 copyright protection42PENANAd2ge635Ku3 維尼
Walking toward the school.8964 copyright protection42PENANAOVPsSZehi2 維尼
Not shambling.8964 copyright protection42PENANA52JXbxcO2V 維尼
Walking.8964 copyright protection42PENANAJc0mycjqrj 維尼
A girl.8964 copyright protection42PENANAL9p8ptQdvQ 維尼
No rot.8964 copyright protection42PENANAWBS4ZBVlyK 維尼
No blood.8964 copyright protection42PENANAmvj2iVjFgk 維尼
She stepped into the moonlight.8964 copyright protection42PENANAoSxJsbWueV 維尼
Her eyes glowed blue.8964 copyright protection42PENANAMV7K0tdvxf 維尼
She smiled.8964 copyright protection42PENANAlR3a4xOLHD 維尼
“Found you,” she whispered.8964 copyright protection42PENANANlvDhgb4Tj 維尼
