---- "These... These shards are coated in the bioluminescent solution Lori had concocted for me... The blueprints are still in her room..." I was the one raising Rupert since he was a pup. My older brothers often left the house early in the morning and tended to come back late at night, so 1 was tasked with taking care of Rupert most of the time. Rupert didn't have friends, so he was often sad due to how lonely he was. So, I sewed a teddy bear for him at the price of hurting all of my fingers. He was excited when he received the teddy bear, and he loved it so much that he went to sleep with it every night. He even told me that this was his most precious gift. But in the end, he didn't hesitate to give it to Selena. Tears and snot streaked down Rupert's face as he continued, "B-But I... I still treated her so badly... She always puts me first... No one has ever treated me better than she has... ---- "Leo, why hasn't Lori come home yet? Where did she go? I want to apologize to her..." Leo felt as though there was an invisible weight crushing his heart. At that moment, one of his subordinates reported to him, saying that he had found some words being carved onto the stone wall at the bottom of the pit. A sparkle appeared in Leo's eyes. He urged the subordinate to make a rubbing of the writing as soon as possible. I couldn't stop myself from sobbing. After all, I had carved those words onto the wall during my most helpless and desperate moment prior to my death, thinking that I could somehow lessen my pain and suffering. With trembling hands, Leo accepted the cloth. The handwriting on the wall was very messy. "Please... save me... It hurts... I'm dying... I'm sorry... Leo... Luke... Ryan... Rupert..." ---- Leo swayed violently, almost collapsing to the ground. Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
