TTRIA 57
The two children standing at the doorway hesitated to enter and only whispered, “We missed you.” Jeff looked at them without a word. Benjamin, who had been fidgeting at his expressionless face, finally lowered his head with tears welling up in his eyes. In his arms was a fresh bouquet of flowers that seemed to have just been picked from the greenhouse. A faint scent spread from between the moist flowers. “May we come in?” Milla asked cautiously. Jeff, who had been staring blankly at the girl…-

TTRIA 55
As he descended the stairs and exited the mansion's rear entrance, the cool night air enveloped his entire body. The scent of lilies still lingered at the tip of his nose. For some reason, his mind felt blank, and his footsteps grew faster and faster. He couldn't even feel the pain in his foot properly. The surrounding scenery was blurry, like in a dream. Swaying trees and dark grass. It felt as if the path beneath his feet was stretching out endlessly. How long had he walked? Before he knew it, a…-

TTRIA 52
“Daniel Ward. I am sure that name is not unfamiliar to you.” “Daniel?” The ‘young bug’ he had left behind at the mansion. Why was that name coming from this man’s mouth? An inexplicable feeling of anxiety washed over him. Jeff, unable to hide his confusion, asked back in a low voice. “Why him…” The man, who was staring at Jeff as if to pierce through him, uttered a short and merciless sentence. “Daniel Ward is dead.” The air froze. Jeff was at a loss for words and…-

The fourth full moon at the mansion is approaching soon. It is said that this month, too, a charity event for vagrants will be held, so I must closely observe the vagrants visiting the mansion. Those who could vanish from the world without anyone caring are the perfect targets to become sacrifices for the worms, aren’t they? For that reason, my duty as a tutor belonging to the mansion no longer feels important. Selecting bright children and handing them over to the agent was never the right thing to…-

TTRIA 18
“You’re hurt.” While staring blankly into the air, pondering a new topic to discuss, Jeff widened his eyes. A figure standing at a distance was looking at him. It was Cecil’s voice, heard after a long time, and a gaze that reached him after a long absence. “You’ve finally opened your mouth. I thought you’d become a Trappist monk, staying silent for so long.” Ever since that night when Ego visited and drove him out, Jeff had been treated like an invisible man. He spoke with a mix of…-

On the dawn he returned like that. As the end of the newly started day approached, Jeff headed to the annex again, but Cecil, who had been sitting on the windowsill waiting for someone, was nowhere to be seen. He met Cecil again at dawn, four days after that. Half out of stubbornness, half out of habit, Jeff, who had headed to the annex, was able to face the back of the man leaning against the windowsill. Fluttering black hair and a gracefully moving upper body. A white shirt stained by the…-

What did the children look like when they discovered the wound? They flared their nostrils as if they had found prey, and their glistening eyes could not look away. That must be because the children are ‘that existence’ with ‘that scent’. Like Hugo, like their uncle, Alan Walker. Because they are ‘bugs’ wearing human skin. Wayne Gray, who raises young ‘bugs’ under the pretext of a sponsorship program. No, in this case, should I see it as the Gray family? They are creating <Vivlook>…-

“Because he said there was nothing more to teach.” Cecil said in a toneless voice. He spoke so matter-of-factly that Jeff blinked blankly for a moment. “Are you a genius?” Cecil flinched. “…Why did you suddenly jump to that?” “You said the teacher gave up when you were only seventeen because there was nothing left to teach. If that is not a genius, then what is it.” The whites of his eyes, where the capillaries had burst, were still red, but for some reason, the eyes…-

TTRIA 14
The full moon event called ‘Eden’ was grander than Jeff had anticipated. Booths for medical treatment were set up throughout the vast garden, and a psychological counseling center was also prepared for vagrants who had lost their will to live. Clothing for adults and children, distinguished by gender, and cleaning supplies made by <Vivlook> were also provided. Some vagrants, upon receiving the high-quality clothes, even changed into them on the spot. Above all, what captivated their attention…-
