Dhammawitaya School – Music Room – 1:12 a.m.8964 copyright protection42PENANAzOK7rxL8Vb 維尼
They’d moved Rin inside after the rooftop fight. He was unconscious, wrapped in a blanket, pulse faint but steady.8964 copyright protection42PENANA1ShWmauLlb 維尼
Sol sat beside him, not saying a word. His hand never left Rin’s.8964 copyright protection42PENANANuBWPv1UpQ 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 protection42PENANALV1uu2Bf6J 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 protection42PENANAyivMhHLsG4 維尼
“I’m fine,” he muttered.8964 copyright protection42PENANA6kGrLw2Kew 維尼
“You’re angry.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAoijlJGI7hV 維尼
“Because we almost died again.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAZtVWCgX12p 維尼
“You mean Rin almost died for us.”8964 copyright protection42PENANA1DKeO3Srpt 維尼
Jet didn’t answer.8964 copyright protection42PENANAWqhERmO0R6 維尼

1:24 a.m.8964 copyright protection42PENANAcmqZG7gaEu 維尼
Eli sat near the broken windows, staring out into the moonlit courtyard. The blood moon still hovered, crimson and cold.8964 copyright protection42PENANAH2v7PWbjvj 維尼
“You knew Tinn wasn’t dead,” Tae said quietly, approaching him.8964 copyright protection42PENANAz5rFEHZXSc 維尼
“I felt it,” Eli replied.8964 copyright protection42PENANA3aU5Anp4dr 維尼
“You said he was the next stage. What does that mean?”8964 copyright protection42PENANAoLTUOb9ctq 維尼
Eli looked at him. Really looked.8964 copyright protection42PENANA3CeDDbD2dh 維尼
And finally… spoke.8964 copyright protection42PENANAUy6ytdHyC7 維尼
“I’m not immune. I’m not infected. I’m both.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAerGpkr5ZHx 維尼
Tae blinked. “What?”8964 copyright protection42PENANAuovagch1oB 維尼
“I was bitten months ago. Before the outbreak reached the city. I should’ve died. But I didn’t.”8964 copyright protection42PENANArd7S4vBMiX 維尼
“…Why not?”8964 copyright protection42PENANArFGG5XUDE3 維尼
Eli pulled his shirt collar down, revealing a bite mark.8964 copyright protection42PENANAgkJTiW18Fa 維尼
But it wasn’t rotted.8964 copyright protection42PENANAjsN1BK7IFK 維尼
It shimmered—glowed—like it pulsed with life.8964 copyright protection42PENANA9dhPOeS21b 維尼
“I’m the first,” Eli said. “Patient Zero was my brother.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAQdwwuOKSml 維尼
The room fell into shocked silence.8964 copyright protection42PENANA1yHmFD279B 維尼
“You’re saying—” Mew started.8964 copyright protection42PENANAsvtM28iqF9 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 protection42PENANAhMMy6JYiLa 維尼
Tae’s voice cracked. “Then what are you?”8964 copyright protection42PENANA3srSMaIJhn 維尼
Eli looked out the window again.8964 copyright protection42PENANA9F9LexV7ZZ 維尼
“Something in between.”8964 copyright protection42PENANA2sTpTAodn0 維尼

Jet stood. “You should’ve told us.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAKSPVqax6Pd 維尼
“I didn’t think you'd believe me.”8964 copyright protection42PENANA6CYZL7rSmj 維尼
“You’re right.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAhEjDTGR2kK 維尼
“Still,” Sol said, “he’s saved our asses more than once.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAAZygGcShIC 維尼
“Doesn’t mean I trust him.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAAObKtnJoJE 維尼
“You trusted me less,” Rin rasped suddenly from the corner, stirring.8964 copyright protection42PENANAyW7zS8pRwy 維尼
Sol turned, relief washing over his face. “You’re awake.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAnX9xoNVwCj 維尼
“Barely,” Rin groaned, propping himself up. “Did we win?”8964 copyright protection42PENANApgU7sjJDuX 維尼
“You lived,” Jet muttered.8964 copyright protection42PENANAWdm3NbAa9B 維尼
“Shame,” Rin smirked weakly.8964 copyright protection42PENANAdsfcfkTbl0 維尼

2:00 a.m.8964 copyright protection42PENANAzg7QuCUr97 維尼
Eli stepped forward. “I think the virus is evolving.”8964 copyright protection42PENANArICkrkbgoG 維尼
“What makes you say that?” Sol asked!8964 copyright protection42PENANABrOxmM7ANz 維尼
“Tinn was stronger. Faster. He didn’t hunt like the others. He strategized. That’s not random mutation.”8964 copyright protection42PENANARUjwA08qob 維尼
“Then what is it?” Mew asked.8964 copyright protection42PENANAaJMbcPko2o 維尼
“It’s… intentional. Like something is guiding them.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAVFciFkR2Yk 維尼
“Don’t say hive mind,” Rin coughed.8964 copyright protection42PENANAxqNqvjYWZn 維尼
“I don’t know if it’s that. But they’re getting smarter.”8964 copyright protection42PENANApFH3drguCm 維尼
“Smarter zombies?” Tae whispered. “That’s a nightmare.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAb8FEQs981P 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 protection42PENANAm4k3ub28PK 維尼

2:16 a.m. – Infirmary Hallway8964 copyright protection42PENANAKmlkmo5Dz8 維尼
Jet stood alone, hands braced against a shattered locker.8964 copyright protection42PENANA45MNYgWVRl 維尼
He felt sick.8964 copyright protection42PENANAJn9r9gjvjD 維尼
Not just tired—rotten.8964 copyright protection42PENANArgulvpe714 維尼
His stomach churned.8964 copyright protection42PENANAkIt0eQPY0O 維尼
His skin tingled.8964 copyright protection42PENANAW4RNxPKZE0 維尼
Then—8964 copyright protection42PENANAEQLkoWsHZF 維尼
He lifted his sleeve.8964 copyright protection42PENANAgJpRm7ColT 維尼
There it was.8964 copyright protection42PENANApXfnskBwHr 維尼
A scratch.8964 copyright protection42PENANAOjxhzBNiUZ 維尼
Thin.8964 copyright protection42PENANAZNCa46QX8l 維尼
Fresh.8964 copyright protection42PENANAnt2iCgURmH 維尼
From when Tinn tackled him.8964 copyright protection42PENANAgzM24v3QsJ 維尼
His breath caught.8964 copyright protection42PENANAnlqO0HtojY 維尼
“No,” he whispered. “No, no…”8964 copyright protection42PENANAAXHWM3XOIR 維尼
He backed into the shadows, heart racing.8964 copyright protection42PENANAm97xbUwM4Z 維尼
Did he tell them?8964 copyright protection42PENANAAVEYA7nhYR 維尼
Would they leave him behind?8964 copyright protection42PENANA4pyhDw3MPo 維尼
Would Tae cry?8964 copyright protection42PENANAaY7DMpHfFc 維尼
Would Mew panic?8964 copyright protection42PENANAjxoDpNX32S 維尼
Would Sol kill him?8964 copyright protection42PENANAhkLHzxJflo 維尼
He gritted his teeth.8964 copyright protection42PENANA0zXhUdT5wq 維尼
I can fight it. I have to fight it.8964 copyright protection42PENANAfkVPGC5hWU 維尼
But somewhere in his mind…8964 copyright protection42PENANAQxexLh7SDm 維尼
He already knew.8964 copyright protection42PENANAhvWQSGjaNU 維尼

2:41 a.m. – Classroom8964 copyright protection42PENANA0lEFfdVSp2 維尼
Tae sat beside Rin now. Sol was asleep against the wall, his arm still draped over Rin’s lap.8964 copyright protection42PENANAB0hS0jk5dt 維尼
“Are we monsters now?” Tae asked softly.8964 copyright protection42PENANAObt6OQRxre 維尼
Rin opened one eye. “Maybe.”8964 copyright protection42PENANANtPv16XO1Z 維尼
“I keep thinking… we don’t cry when we kill them anymore.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAKIijnMapLL 維尼
“They’re not people anymore.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAZOaYqgFQrB 維尼
Tae frowned. “But they were. They had parents. Friends. Lovers.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAzyWfQzKJpq 維尼
Rin looked at him.8964 copyright protection42PENANAGPmZXGrj5d 維尼
“You know what makes you not a monster?”8964 copyright protection42PENANAK1ZPUGWklG 維尼
“…What?”8964 copyright protection42PENANAnBXLkKOPrv 維尼
“Feeling guilty about it.”8964 copyright protection42PENANAs7AUDnVlgy 維尼

2:57 a.m. – Courtyard8964 copyright protection42PENANA2pbzWhgXKP 維尼
Eli stood at the broken gate, staring at something in the dark.8964 copyright protection42PENANAjCpiLPcIM6 維尼
A figure.8964 copyright protection42PENANAR50kMyi32Z 維尼
Walking toward the school.8964 copyright protection42PENANAOqt9rLEWBT 維尼
Not shambling.8964 copyright protection42PENANA94qW93TDv8 維尼
Walking.8964 copyright protection42PENANAOD4WpjFoC6 維尼
A girl.8964 copyright protection42PENANAWaplrYo8i8 維尼
No rot.8964 copyright protection42PENANASX5xHaTKwB 維尼
No blood.8964 copyright protection42PENANAJxRBa4bbSJ 維尼
She stepped into the moonlight.8964 copyright protection42PENANALBp5FhMCvY 維尼
Her eyes glowed blue.8964 copyright protection42PENANAGYjPOcTepL 維尼
She smiled.8964 copyright protection42PENANAuNAb2CJtV0 維尼
“Found you,” she whispered.8964 copyright protection42PENANAvWugGr8Zxx 維尼
