Episode 3

'Sigh, what's the point of glaring at him? Let's get back to work.'

She keeps writing for a few hours, and then goes to her bedside table and opens it.

She sees some tubes and elements. She takes them out and puts them on the table.

She starts to make experiments and researches, and keeps making them until the afternoon.

She finally takes a break. She turns her head to look at the child, sleeping so intensely.

She then takes her laptop and starts to write things. She keeps writing until 9 am, she feels the little boy awoke.

She looks at him, and sees terror in his eyes. His face was as pale as a paper, and he was breaking into cold sweat.

When she sees him, she feels her heart ache, but she conceals it well enough.

"Well, you're finally awake. What would you like to eat?" she asked, her face staring at the laptop.

The boy sits silently, his eyes still scared, but a little less than before. Reyna looks at him more closely, and realizes he's actually shaking.

"So, you don't want anything?" she tries to make him speak, but to no avail.

'Sigh, if it's the only way, then we'll have to go with that.'

She gets up from her chair and approaches him, and he instantly covers his head. His trembling only worsened, and he closed his eyes.

She keeps her cool, and says: "What are you so scared about? It's not like I haven't seen your body; just look at what you're wearing."

He then looks at his clothes, and notices they weren't the ones he had on before.

He then looked at her, his eyes full of hatred and disgust.

"You monster," he whispers.

She smirks: "Well, thank you. This monster let you take a bath in her house and let you sleep for days on her bed while she slept on the floor. Also, you're wearing her clothes and have an iv fluid that she gave you to save your life."

He then remains silent, but looks around. He keeps looking and then looks back at her.

"Well, what do you want to eat?" she asks him again, hoping for an answer.

He looks away and says: "Whatever."

She smiles and gets out of the room. She takes out some cooking ingredients and starts to cook.

'His body's still weak, so he shouldn't eat much. She makes him some porridge and puts it on the table.'

She then goes back to her room, and sees the boy still sitting on the bed.

"The food's ready, come," she tells him, and they both walk a few steps to the kitchen.

Her house isn't big, in all fairness, it's actually small, but it's enough for her.

She let the child sit down and stare at the food. It's not like there's something wrong with it, but he still feels weird.

"Eat up," Reyna says, as she put a spoon of yogurt in her mouth.

When he sees her like that, he calms down a bit, and sits down.

He starts to eats, and some time later, hears Reyna ask: "So, what's your name, kiddo?"

He looks at her for quite some time.
