Bab 32: The Killings

Reed emerged abruptly from the highest building. He was staring out at the vast and dark land. From below, the car looks like a bright star, as do the lights from the establishments. Reed put one hand on his waist and the other on his chin.

"These shadow demons are very repulsive," Reed said. "Is it true that I am why you came to this world?"

Reed turned aside when he heard a woman yell. He quickly vanished from the top of the skyscraper.

Meanwhile, Emy had trouble sleeping that night. Reed, she assumed, would enter after speaking with the thing she hadn't seen but had yet to enter. Emy got out of bed and looked out the window. She couldn't find Reed there, so she went outside to look for him. She made her way quickly to the shore.

"Reed?" Emy said.

Emy turned away when she heard what sounded like someone walking behind her. She approached the coconut tree from behind.

"Are you here, Reed?" Emy asked.
