Dhammawitaya School Rooftop – 1:03 p.m.8964 copyright protection41PENANAFXTwRDvxp0 維尼
Rain.8964 copyright protection41PENANAGra7ncb9FP 維尼
It started as a soft drizzle—almost peaceful.8964 copyright protection41PENANANG8lRfBiQc 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 protection41PENANAaxPRhX82y7 維尼
Sol stood under the overhang, staring at nothing. His hoodie soaked. His jaw tight.8964 copyright protection41PENANAUKGcQOLujW 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 protection41PENANAwbTcvXqYlM 維尼
Each throb of pain was louder than the last.8964 copyright protection41PENANA8WTjOwxFw0 維尼
Jet and Tae argued over their next move.8964 copyright protection41PENANA6HcWj6mhAC 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 protection41PENANAl7Cam37npy 維尼
Jet crossed his arms. “And what, we run out there and become lunch?”8964 copyright protection41PENANAZ5i5SOpFoj 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 protection41PENANA2NU2iBlDdh 維尼
“Who?” Jet laughed bitterly. “The police? The army? No one’s coming.”8964 copyright protection41PENANAtAwCCoblih 維尼
Sol turned, voice low but sharp. “We have to believe someone will.”8964 copyright protection41PENANAxxmvM4FeYV 維尼
Everyone fell silent.8964 copyright protection41PENANAI4oXq81UMT 維尼
Eli, crouched near the ledge, watched them all quietly.8964 copyright protection41PENANASmnOHTgui2 維尼
His gaze flicked to Rin.8964 copyright protection41PENANAh8sq5Oyfnt 維尼
And didn’t move.8964 copyright protection41PENANAgLsFnmRcRu 維尼

1:19 p.m.8964 copyright protection41PENANAGFBvJuTZeW 維尼
Rin’s vision blurred for a second.8964 copyright protection41PENANAJyhmON83Fb 維尼
He blinked hard.8964 copyright protection41PENANAnmX7l0BfvC 維尼
No. Not now.8964 copyright protection41PENANAzAZbuvexyG 維尼
He pressed his fingers against the wound under his sleeve. It burned—like fire crawling under his skin.8964 copyright protection41PENANAcPXDIWwZcA 維尼
He heard footsteps and looked up.8964 copyright protection41PENANA9M2TDvxF0K 維尼
Sol stood there, holding a bottle of water and a protein bar.8964 copyright protection41PENANASx5awbTGcR 維尼
“You need to eat something.”8964 copyright protection41PENANAFOfUJln4mS 維尼
“I’m fine.”8964 copyright protection41PENANAEPizEAJ772 維尼
“You’re not.”8964 copyright protection41PENANAJMvVx8JGNu 維尼
Rin sighed and reached for the bar. Their fingers brushed.8964 copyright protection41PENANAdqmFhynHhS 維尼
Sol didn’t pull away.8964 copyright protection41PENANAgvWZMlED8h 維尼
“You’re burning up,” Sol said softly.8964 copyright protection41PENANA7GVkHem5Pm 維尼
“I’ve had worse hangovers.”8964 copyright protection41PENANAiD06BhzElh 維尼
“Stop pretending.”8964 copyright protection41PENANARYMDSkYWnA 維尼
Rin looked at him, suddenly tired.8964 copyright protection41PENANADdYWy47jP8 維尼
“I don’t want to scare them.”8964 copyright protection41PENANA1HX9TtRri8 維尼
“You’re scared,” Sol whispered.8964 copyright protection41PENANAcPQaRgig10 維尼
Rin didn’t answer.8964 copyright protection41PENANAbgLEgXNy9D 維尼
Sol knelt in front of him. Rain still fell gently around them, the only sound for a moment.8964 copyright protection41PENANAm83BmTmc5t 維尼
“I’m not going to let you go,” Sol said. “We’ll find a way.”8964 copyright protection41PENANAfJ7o0zXX6A 維尼
“You really believe that?”8964 copyright protection41PENANAtxJ9HSz7VD 維尼
“I have to.”8964 copyright protection41PENANATBiE09x0s9 維尼
Rin stared into his eyes.8964 copyright protection41PENANAC86C19Vk8E 維尼
Then leaned in slowly—8964 copyright protection41PENANAWn1Q8qSwlC 維尼
Their foreheads touched.8964 copyright protection41PENANAE8dD6z5t9z 維尼
“I don’t want to turn into him,” Rin whispered. “Into Tinn.”8964 copyright protection41PENANAcMoQ2aRcio 維尼
“You won’t.”8964 copyright protection41PENANABtOEogPSpc 維尼
“I’m not strong like Eli. I’m not... special.”8964 copyright protection41PENANA1gFkznZ3Aj 維尼
“You’re Rin,” Sol said firmly. “And that’s enough.”8964 copyright protection41PENANAOPHWIxq6Yl 維尼

1:37 p.m.8964 copyright protection41PENANA24pv8z1fk8 維尼
Eli finally broke his silence.8964 copyright protection41PENANAASkz8nyVZI 維尼
He walked straight to Jet and said, “He’s infected.”8964 copyright protection41PENANADgV7ODvgCf 維尼
Jet blinked. “Who?”8964 copyright protection41PENANAQ336qNvaip 維尼
“Rin.”8964 copyright protection41PENANAspxOSSSld3 維尼
Jet froze. “Are you sure?”8964 copyright protection41PENANACMfdDxhK7G 維尼
“I saw the bite. He’s hiding it.”8964 copyright protection41PENANAXmuFjal9sb 維尼
Tae overheard. “You’re serious?”8964 copyright protection41PENANAnP3H8EHlLV 維尼
“He got bit in the gym. They didn’t tell anyone.”8964 copyright protection41PENANA2RIzFKVvhJ 維尼
Jet’s face darkened. “So what? We just wait for him to turn and kill one of us?”8964 copyright protection41PENANALECz4UyfcR 維尼
“No,” Eli said softly. “He hasn’t changed. Not yet.”8964 copyright protection41PENANAMebY1kXjfy 維尼
“And you would know?” Tae snapped.8964 copyright protection41PENANAqSqiys88Yk 維尼
Eli didn’t flinch. “Yes. Because I’m the same.”8964 copyright protection41PENANA5LjJEFVBpM 維尼
The group froze.8964 copyright protection41PENANAeogdWXZmlB 維尼
Jet stared at him. “What?”8964 copyright protection41PENANAhjxboBfdTn 維尼
“I was bitten too,” Eli said. “Two days ago. But I didn’t turn.”8964 copyright protection41PENANAqAwa9jCRgE 維尼
“You’re lying.”8964 copyright protection41PENANAb2SgRDZh1o 維尼
“I’m not.”8964 copyright protection41PENANAUfudCkNolS 維尼
“Then how are you still... you?”8964 copyright protection41PENANAol93ofsTeL 維尼
“I don’t know. I think some people… mutate differently. The virus doesn’t kill us—it merges.”8964 copyright protection41PENANAPF3ifUInL1 維尼
Tae took a step back. “So you’re saying Rin might be like you?”8964 copyright protection41PENANAkGFS4pWjWN 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 protection41PENANAnVIjj9MIFl 維尼
Jet looked shaken. “You should’ve told us sooner.”8964 copyright protection41PENANAQ0LMjFY5SI 維尼
“I didn’t because people like you panic.”8964 copyright protection41PENANA8I6VyvBVpx 維尼
“Hey!”8964 copyright protection41PENANAmwIYORBrog 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 protection41PENANAeOTiG3B39n 維尼

2:06 p.m.8964 copyright protection41PENANAVMbgbwxk5h 維尼
Rin was asleep when they came.8964 copyright protection41PENANAYOd6r5jyD8 維尼
Jet. Tae. Mew.8964 copyright protection41PENANA5G73hxdoQD 維尼
And Sol, standing between them and Rin.8964 copyright protection41PENANAnKKBIgy20v 維尼
“He’s sick,” Jet said. “We can’t ignore that.”8964 copyright protection41PENANAclA9E6mhpx 維尼
Sol’s hands balled into fists. “He’s not a danger.”8964 copyright protection41PENANA8o9BKaQ7IW 維尼
“He will be.”8964 copyright protection41PENANAK2lOXJupan 維尼
“You didn’t see him fight for us. He could’ve killed Tinn—he risked himself to save me!”8964 copyright protection41PENANAqpOyuGBU12 維尼
Tae looked uncertain. “What if he loses control?”8964 copyright protection41PENANAltwfjXBy5I 維尼
“Then I’ll stop him,” Sol said. “But until then... he stays.”8964 copyright protection41PENANAznUkUDS4pT 維尼
Jet turned to Mew. “Say something.”8964 copyright protection41PENANANMPtA6UgBZ 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 protection41PENANAU197vfpV9c 維尼
They left after that.8964 copyright protection41PENANAzntvDcw9Ss 維尼
Sol sat down beside Rin again.8964 copyright protection41PENANADREQO3VQi6 維尼
And felt the first tear hit his cheek.8964 copyright protection41PENANAF8yV0Ej85S 維尼
Rin stirred.8964 copyright protection41PENANApZ16stE0gC 維尼
Opened his eyes.8964 copyright protection41PENANAga0btq4M0Y 維尼
“You still here?” he whispered.8964 copyright protection41PENANAK3UKtUf76d 維尼
“Yeah,” Sol said, his voice breaking. “Always.”8964 copyright protection41PENANAsZ76Lsju6h 維尼
---8964 copyright protection41PENANAeZStz1eCh0 維尼
2:30 p.m.8964 copyright protection41PENANA1Dv89I77gS 維尼
Eli sat alone near the edge of the roof, staring down at his trembling hands.8964 copyright protection41PENANAo0VBCbbRa9 維尼
He’d told the truth.8964 copyright protection41PENANAPXGuemISVw 維尼
But not all of it.8964 copyright protection41PENANAbknifZfwvI 維尼
He wasn’t just like Rin.8964 copyright protection41PENANAiVzTx8Cwra 維尼
He was changing.8964 copyright protection41PENANAfKYb4TjK50 維尼
He could hear things.8964 copyright protection41PENANAhcLfJIAbYv 維尼
Smell them.8964 copyright protection41PENANAhJ1jQr62nI 維尼
Feel the others.8964 copyright protection41PENANATEMU70mKLD 維尼
Even Tinn.8964 copyright protection41PENANATvGK1ALcx5 維尼
He wasn’t just surviving anymore.8964 copyright protection41PENANAIQB1rwJ8tZ 維尼
He was evolving.8964 copyright protection41PENANAbYbAmscCZI 維尼
