Taki :sister what is an orphanage?
Sora:its a place where kids with no parents or relatives are sent taken care of!
Taki:so like me?but why am i not with them?
Sora:oh because every kid has a tour and is taken care of for an entire day by one of the staff in the nurturing division
Taki:SO won’t i see you again?
Sora:no no no! You will but much less
Looking at her she really reminded me of elder sister rosaline breeze
Rosaline was a galion girl who was transported to get married but she got involved vith the war and got enslaved by the aquanians
She was the only one even if she was in crippling condition herself she would go all out of her way to encourage us to not give up
She was not selfish and distracted with her own problems like the others were
She always used to sing us lullabies to help us sleep after a hard day even if she didn’t get any herself
But one day
I was trying to serve food to the nobles but i slipped across the floor and almost fell
Even if i didn’t fall the food did the nobles started screaming
And the wardens rapped a rope around my neck and hung me up on one of the hooks in the torcher chamber
And lashed me across the face with a hot whip across my face the second time she
Lashed elder sister rosaline stopped the warden and started arguing with the warden that i did nothing wrong and it was a accident while i just hung there helplessly
The warden got fed up and lashed her to the point of death while i hung there and stared in fright and aww of what was happening before my eyes
TEars rolled down my face and realised that there was no hope left for us now and everything she said about hope was bullshit
Sore:Hey taki you’ve been looking and down not been hearing me is something on your mind? You can share if you want?
Taki:No its just that I’ve been thinking that you look like someone i know
Sore:Is that soo?
Taki:she was a really nice person
Sora:nice person eh?whats her name!?
Taki:her name was rosaline breeze
Sora:wait…?ROSA i haven’t seen her in ages!Where is she?
Taki:She unfortunately is no longer with us anymore………
I could see her eyes swell up with tears as she tried to hold a smile
Sora:WHat….went…wrong?
Taki:she tried to save me and
Sora :you don’t have to finish it if you want to i understand
Sora:well if my best friend kept you safe than ill have to too!
Taki:best friend?you know sister rosaline
sora:yeah she was my childhood and only friend i had
Sora:when i heard she was getting married i felt happy but also jealous at the same time funny huh?
Taki:So who is sister rosa——
Sora: were here this is the orphanage
The orphanage was quite big but i didn’t see many kids there this confused me alot
Taki:sister where are all the kids my age
Sora:oh them they are probably outside
We went to the headmasters office to visit
As we walked in I felt a sort of trauma and discomfort flooding in
Since we left the slavery house ive been scared of girls because most of the people there who punished us were girls
As i sat on the chair in the room looking across the table shivers ran down my spine
I sat still and didn’t move
Sora:Taki!Takiiiii!?are you there?
Taki:oh sorry
Sora:i want you to introduce yourself to the headmaster
Taki:hello honourable headmaster my name is taki im 8years old and was a slave at W CORP
Headmaster salice windstone:so your the boy who got sent in recently .hello little one nice to have you here
Sora:sayvery told me to see the new children brought in recently
Headmaster salice windstone:oh is that soo lets go see them
The headmaster and sister sora were walking what looked like a garden i followed sister by her side holding her hand
Headmaster salice windstone:so this is the yard where they play
Headmaster salice windstone:levi,zakrow,hironi i want you to meet somebody
The three kids left what they were doing came in front of the headmaster and bowed
Headmaster salice windstone:say hello to miss cadet sora yuki from the nursing division
The three kids:hello miss yuki its an honer to be in you presence
Sora:its an honour to meet you to may you introduce yourselves
The tall boy with black loose hair and one green and black eye is levi galestring
The boy with long auburn hair and sharp green eyes is called zakrow sorewind
The girl with silky grayish brown hair with one green and the other yellow eye is hironi storm
I waved to them with a smile
Levi smiled back
zakrow looked at me with disgust sharpening his already sharpened eyes
Hironi waved and smiled back to me
I looked at sister and saw something was wrong she looked like she was holding a smile and most of the conversation she stayed silent and looked kinda sad
After she was talking i tugged on her shirt
Taki:why do you keep doing this its hurting you
Sora:so you noticed huh…..
Taki:why do this?
Sora:why?its quite simple actually if they see me a strong cadet struggling and crying how would they have confidence in their self is someone strong as me crys what makes them think they could do
Taki:still you should takes some rest and a day off
Taki:ill stay here and wait for you here i wanna talk to the others too
Sora:thankyou taki never would have thought i would be taking advice from a child
Sora:how did you even learn this stuff the proper etiquette
Taki:sister sora taught us all hiding from the warden
Sora :and consoling others
Taki:i just watched sister rosaline console the others and i learned
Sora:Than rosaline did heck of a job
We both laughed it off
Taki :so can i go meet them properly now
Sora:Ok you can go
Taki:bye!
Sora:bye!

Suddenly the alarm went off
