[11th April 2024]

Evan, who arrived in Lumina town at the age of fifteen in 2021, has now turned eighteen and celebrated his birthday on January 16th.

During this period, he grew quite close to Rossy and Jason, to the point where he forgot that his stay was meant to be just three years—a duration that has already passed, yet he continues to live with them.

He reminded himself of this fact and was certain that any other caretaker would have asked him to leave after the time limit, but Rossy and Jason never even considered it and carried on as usual.

He was hesitant to bring it up, but on a holiday, he mustered the courage to ask them about the time limit.

It turned out to be quite the blunder, if you ask me, because when he inquired about leaving their home,

Rossy didn't respond verbally, but her eyes spoke volumes as she began to cry and retreated to her room. This reaction angered Jason, and Evan spent hours pleading with her until she calmed down. However, she remained upset with him, believing that he had come to see them as family, whereas he still regarded them as mere caretakers.

Rossy only agreed to be okay if he promised to live with them as a family; otherwise, he could consider his aunt and uncle as deceased.

Evan had to agree because he thought he could still refer to them as aunt and uncle after moving away, but the promise made it impossible, so he had to make it.

Afterward, he had to apologize to Jason, which wasn't much different with Rossy's help.

Now, he was living with them as a family and was quite happy about it, as it lifted a weight off his heart. He could now focus on his studies to support his family, which might not need it, but it was still his wish.

His life for the next three years was as normal as everyday life, but his dreams were not as frequent. He used to dream about those ten beings once a week, and they were becoming less blurry over time. However, something changed when his birthday came and went.

His dreams stopped, and he believed his illness was cured, feeling quite happy as months passed with no signs of dreams, not even the regular ones.

His life improved in every aspect, from day-to-day activities to school life, as even his grades got better.

Life was perfect; every problem was solved, even the couple issue, which could have been quite horrific if he got entangled in it, as it would have made his life like those guys.

This all happened a few months after he became friends with the girl.

She often visits him with something for him like juice, snacks and many more thing. He was also polite with her and had some distance between them not to get some awkward feeling.

She noticed it and tried to get close to him, but he made it clear not to get close to him.

She got frustrated one day and showed her true self as she herself tattered her clothes and start screaming while making mark of nails on her skin to show the signs of infight.

She screamed, calling the neighbors to tarnish Evan's reputation, effectively casting him as a villain, and they all began to suspect him.

He attempted to defend himself, but the girl's feigned tears overshadowed his pleas of innocence.

Eventually, a neighbor alerted the police, who arrived within minutes, drawing the attention of everyone in the building and the vicinity.

Crowds formed to witness the commotion, and upon learning of the accusation, they condemned him while expressing pity for the girl, reflecting societal biases.

Jason remained silent, but only Rossy attempted to defend Evan, though her efforts were met with disbelief.

The girl's boyfriend appeared, and she rushed into his arms, weeping dramatically, while the onlookers expressed their sympathy for her and called for severe punishment for the boy.

Rossy's face was etched with anguish as she watched the police take Evan away.

She implored Jason to intervene, but he retreated to Rey's room, leaving her to chase after the police in a desperate bid to halt them.

Convinced of Evan's innocence, she was prepared to go to any lengths to exonerate him.

Her fury was directed at the girl, who, now in her boyfriend's embrace, concealed a smile behind her tears.

Before they could take him away, Jason halted them with a commanding voice and approached.

Everyone believed that Jason and Rossy were blinded by their trust in Evan, yet Jason persisted and presented a tape.

The police perplexed but intrigued, as Jason was an extraordinary individual, agreed to view the tape.

They all entered his apartment, including the couple, eager to see what Jason was revealing, which might vindicate him.

The tape began, showing Evan's room where he was studying.

A knock at the door prompted him to check who it was.

It was the girl, asking to be let in.

She entered, and they started chatting casually, snacking on the treats she had brought.

What they witnessed shortly after made it unequivocally clear who the true culprit was.
