Is it dark outside?” “It’s dawn.” “Let’s have the tea in the morning then.” She flicked the light out and tried to pull the blanket up. The room was dark for a second. Roman held the blanket as the same time the light back on in the room. “Papa please, let me sleep little longer.

He kept looking in every possible place. Dots were all over the town, most of the stars were in the library, school, or in the Scholar-Dome.

Did the elder knew that he wasn’t pay any attention at the meeting? Lucas shrugged. He didn’t listen to any of the meeting’s discussion. He didn’t feel have to.
