Eric's POV

The atmosphere around was quite calm, but my heart was still filled with anxiety. I couldn't take my mind off what was happening inside.

While waiting, I observed the activity around me. Several nurses and doctors passed by, busy with their tasks. The beeping of medical equipment and hurried footsteps made me increasingly restless. Although I knew the medical team was doing their best for Serena, the worry still haunted my thoughts.

I thought about how significant this action was for her. With my blood donation, I hoped to provide hope and strength. Each second felt like hours, and I couldn't wait for the transfusion process to finish. In my heart, I kept praying for everything to go smoothly and for Serena to recover soon.

Footsteps echoed from the end of the corridor, getting closer. Lina and I, who were sitting, were startled, especially when Lina nudged my arm to get my attention. I was taken aback to see Malisa arriving. I remembered t

    Eric's POV My voice trembled, and the mixed emotions made it hard to explain. "Lina, I... I don't know how this happened. We were fighting and... and he fell into the cliff."Lina listened intently, her eyes widening as I recounted everything that had happened. "What? He fell into the cliff? Are you sure he's okay?" she asked, worry echoing in her voice.I could only shake my head, sadness and uncertainty weighing down my chest. "I don't know, I just... don't know what to do."In that moment, I felt a heavy burden in my heart. Guilt and fear enveloped me, and I knew that my life would be affected by this incident forever. "That's good then," Lina said with a straight look, making me even more confused.I didn’t understand why Lina responded to my story about Roby that way. Right now, I felt unwell and anxious.

    Eric's POV I kept thinking about that because I felt threatened. Next, the second was about Malisa and Serena. Yes, Serena was still in Malisa's hands. I wondered if Serena and Malisa might be starting to have a good relationship now. Especially since Serena had not tried to contact me. Anxiety gnawed at my heart, imagining them spending time together, sharing stories, while I remained isolated here. Or perhaps Serena is still weak and hasn't regained consciousness until now. I keep trying to convince myself that maybe she just needs time to recover. However, this uncertainty is torturous. Every passing second makes me more anxious. I don’t know what might be happening right now, and that makes me feel increasingly helpless.These muddled thoughts aren’t good. I try to think positively, but the shadows of worry continue to haunt me. Have I failed to protect Serena? Was my decision to get involved in this plan the right one? All these questions spin endle

I wanted to reach for Lina’s hand, hoping we could support each other, but everything felt so distant.In the crowd, I tried to find a way to ease the situation.

    Eric's POV "I don’t know the exact moments leading up to all of this. Because Serena was under her mother’s care. But there was clearly some conflict between Serena and Malisa in the weeks leading up to this, that’s all I know. Perhaps her homeroom teacher could clarify more," I said, nudging Lina with my elbow.I hoped this answer would be enough to divert their attention, but the crowd of reporters still seemed curious. Lina looked confused, but I tried to signal her to explain if necessary. The atmosphere was becoming more pressing, and I knew we had to be careful with every word that came out.Lina seemed startled, looking nervous to start her answer. I gestured for her to begin speaking, reassuring her that this was the right time to gain positive validation. In situations like this, every word we uttered would have a significant impact.

Finally, I arrived at my destination.Seeing his house, I was shocked. It was small and looked a bit shabby, far from my image of Roby's home. I couldn't believe my friend lived in a place like this. Memories of the past raced through my mind—how Roby was always cheerful and full of spirit, even though his situation now seemed different.I got out of the car and began walking toward his house.

Let me talk to the caller; give me the phone!" the mother said, asking to speak to me directly.It seemed her child had handed the phone to her. The mother's voice began to greet me on the line."Sorry, ma'am, are you indeed asking about Roby's whereabouts?" the middle-aged woman asked me."Yes, of course, ma'am. Sorry for disturbing your time with your family. Let me introduce myself, I’m Malisa," I said, starting to introduce myself.This straightforwardness made the atmosphere feel warmer.

I need your help to find out more, maybe through your friends or your network.”Mariana listened attentively, noting every detail I described. She has an incredible ability to connect people and find information in unexpected places. I felt relieved knowing that I wasn’t alone in this search.“Now you go to the place where I used to go to school. I will send you the address via text. Go to the operator and administration section to inquire about the student profile data from my cohort.
