??????Room.
"Damn it...just what do they want from me."(Forvish)
It had been a week since this endless torture started, but in the end of everry session I am healed and given food, but just enough to survive. How I can get away from this place, there are many surveillance cameras in this room. There are at least 10 guards outside. Escape without anyone knowing would be very hard even for me... they even put many top grade hadcufs on me that would take quite some time to destroy. And to make matters worst if I do anything weird they would instantly come here... and the torture restart. But even thought it is risky there is no other choice..
"Guards!!!I want to meet your leader right now!!"(Forvish)
After a moment Alexandrite enter the rooms alone....then she asked me..
"Did you finally change your mind?"(Alexandrite)
"Before I agree... I want to ask you something.."(Forvish)
This is a gamble... but I am interested in her objectives. After all this was more humanly than the last treatment when I was in prison or become a lab rat. Alexandrite also try to persuade me... it is quite likely that they need my power to do something..
"You are more stubborn than I thought.... but even I told you it woldn't change a thing, after all you haven't lost anything yet."(Alexandrite)
When Alexandrite said that her eyes were ice cold, and I don't know why but I feel sorrow from her eyes.....
"Forvish, I envy you more than anyone."(Alexandrite)
"what!?"(Forvish)
"You have never lost anything. Instead of ever losing, you just regain it....."(Alexandrite)
....I see, what she means is about family wasn't it. Certainly to others point of view I am very blessed with my current life. None of my friends died. I even met luna again after so long... but I can see her objective at least.

"Alexandrite was your objective to revive a dead person?"(Forvish)
"Yes, but it isn't just my dream but the one of everyone here. We all lost something more important that our own lives...Everything because of that war."(Alexandrite)
She must mean the war between the demon king and the heroes. War always bring misfortune.... but people always end up being blinded by their greed. And use it for their own convenience......
"Lover, child, parents...everything is lost because of the war. Not only that, the age before war was truly the dark age. Human slaughter each other, take from each other, useless killing, child abandonment... but even after all that, the world was still the same.."(Alexandrite)
.....right,Lumiere case,who was born because her mother raped. Alice who was abandoned by her parents...Shiroyuki who lost her parents.Luna who was sold by her parents and used as lab rat.
"But you, you have everything. You have parents, someone you love. And you even have power to protect them. You were blessed!!!! You never truly lost anything in your life!!!!!"(Alexandrite)
"That is truth and I can't refute that..."(Forvish)
She didn't say anything and just look away from me.
"But I know that pain, the pain of losing something important."(Forvish)
When she heard that she immediately turned around. And she said.
"You mean the case when you were betrayed? But... wasn't you saved in the end?"(Alexandrite)
"..I see.."(Forvish)
Never expected this situation. Well I would hold it for now. I really didn't expect this. Looks like I can escape after all.
"Betrayed by the person you loved. It hurts more than you can imagine.."(Forvish)
..I felt in despair...I had already lost all hope... I didn't want to remember it ever again, but because of that I know how important it was. Only when you lost something you realize how important i really is. That was life...

"That's why Jessica, please stop it already. Stop lying to yourself just for my sake."(Forvish)
"....how did you know it was me?"(Jessica)
"I will tell you after we escape. After all I am an idiot that did not notice this sooner."(Forvish)
"................................"(Jessica)
She unlocked me, andI immediately stand up.
"Jessica, next time you did this again. I will never forgive you, and not just you, Iris who heard me from somewhere as well."(Forvish)
The one who planned this must be Iris. After all only she knows how much it hurts when she realized that her mother died. While Jessica used some method to disguise as Alexandrite. SThis mean that the one who tried to persuade me all along was Jessica.... this girl is really... she betray her feeling just for my safety.
"Remember this!! Don't even dare to betray your feeling!!!!!! If you do that again then I won't never forgive the both of you!!"(Forvish)
Jessica who saw this was surprised, she must expected that I was angry because of this. Well that isn't important for now.
"Anyway, surely all of the guards are sleeping right? After all if you dared to unlocke me you surely had done at least that."(Forvish)
Considering one of them is a scientist while one of them a strategist, surely they would do this trick. I am just glad they wasn't enemy at least.
"Yes. I put sleeping pills at their food and used sleeping gas."(Jessica)
"Good, then let's run from here!!"(Forvish)
Because all of the guards were sleeping and Jessica got all the key card is was easy to escape. We easily stole one of their car and to escape from the base... it will take around 3 days, after all we must use other route to go home. The car was full of silent, until I asked.
"Now what will you do? After all kidnapping is quite a crime you know?"(Forvish)
"We are already prepared for that.... it is punishment for abandoning you after all."(Iris)
"Will you stop running from reality. If you want come back just say so."(Forvish)
Just be honest with your feeling, don't torture yourself so much... but neither answered. What a pain.
"Anyway, considering you put your life in risk to save me, you don't need to dragged by your past sin. You have dreams to fulfill right?"(Forvish)
I said that as I pat jessica's head. Her life was rtrully in danger...after this 1 week I noticed a abnormality, there were 10 people that were only a grade below Alexandrite. This was no joke, a mistake and it would cost their life. Still they dared to save me. It was enough regain my trust. Suddenly I noticed a car following us. It was still far behind us, but they still could track us... they probably have somenoe talented in tracking, even if I changed clothes and disguise miself nothing would change.
"Jessica, it looks like we can't escape that easily."(Forvish)
"...I know that's why I already layd some trap while you were driving.."(Jessica)
..........oh that's why you opened the window.... suddenly we heard some explosions behind us. But even after that the car wasn't even scratched. Aparently we have no choice in the end but fight after all.
