Chapter 327: Move Away

“It’s been so long since I went back home that I don’t want to return,” Kai confessed to Lila, looking down into his empty mug. “Then don’t return. Go straight to the police. I can’t stick around here forever trying to protect you. It’s not realistic and it’s not practical,” Lila answered him from where she was stood at the counter. She was cleaning the fancy mugs on the shelf, wiping them down with a white cloth, ridding them of dust and any other bits of little debris that caught her eye. “I still don’t want to, though. Just look at me, there’s no way that they’ll take me seriously,” Kai gestured to himself with his hands. “It’s still better to have at least tried and gone to them. There will be record that this has happened and if, one day, the worst happens, then they can be prosecuted and I won&

EXTRA GRETEL Chapter 329: Relative Time

"I'm Green_Six. I did a Masters in Astrophysics. Also born in an outpost," another man then called out, introducing himself. He punctuated his two short sentences with a tired sigh, before returning back to the state he was in prior. Not once did he open his eyes throughout the statement he gave, looking the most exhausted and weary out of all of them, and Gretel could not blame him in the slightest. He looked about as tired as she felt with heavy, black bags hanging the bottom of his eyes, the skin there visibly swollen and looking as if it had been barely hanging on to his skull for a long, long time. Gretel had to have sympathy for him, as she watched him lightly sway as if he was about to fall onto his face on the floor at any second now. "My name is Yellow_Two. I studied medicine," another lady introduced herself as. She had the most fake and plastic smile plastered over her

Chapter 330: Walking Past the Threshold

“Do you think that it’s a bit too late?” Kai questioned, staring up at the bright, glowing blue geometric shape nailed above the door of the painted white and blue police station.“No. I swear, they’re meant to ‘protect’ people. They’re open 24/7 for a reason. They’re useless if you can’t report a crime when its happening because they’re closed,” Lila ended up hissing out, keeping a firm grip on him as he swayed slightly in the faint, night breeze.“I hear that there, ‘protect’ them. Heh,” Kai noted, looking increasingly more and more unstable.“Yeah… yeah. They’re fucking useless to us. Time to prove that their worth something… or anything whatsoever,” Lila indicted.“You’re not exactly helping me here, bitching about them,” Kai suddenly and forcefully snapped.Lila couldn’t help but sag in relief

EXTRA GRETEL Chapter 331: The Last One

"Belinda, computing," the final woman at the end of the line introduced herself as, her voice small and taciturn, as she kept her arms crossed over her body, as if giving herself a hug, shivering and shaking as she stood there curled inwards with her head bowed down and face hidden in the shadows of her hair. Gretel immediately wanted to take her into her arms and give her a hug, reassure her that everything was going to be alright, and reminded her distinctly of the children of the soldiers who were forced to attend the funerals of their deceased parents. They had often just wanted to curl up somewhere quiet with their loved ones and bawl out all their emotions, but were forced to keep their faces black to not disrupt any of the state ceremonial proceedings, and if they wanted to cry, if their faces scrunched up bright red, then they would be paraded around as symbols to show off exactly what the Sýnnefan Empire had done and why it n

EXTRA GRETEL Chapter 332: Photolysis

The easiest way to get to the box was to line up once, and Gretel found herself doing that exact thing again, quickly managing to get to the front of the queue and picking up a sheet of paper. It was preserved inside two other clear sheets, and after a moment, Gretel realised that she had been holding plastic within her hands. She ran her fingers down the smooth sheen of it, noting how the surface was slightly cloudy in colour - a clear sign of the plastic having been taken from an already used item and then being recycled and being made to be as clearly as possible - and how it seemed to quickly warm up underneath her fingers, not at all inviting the same screeching sound as glass did underneath her nails. The first thing she noticed on it was the symbol Theta, and wondered if she had maybe picked up something that she would need to put back to try to get something else that she could actually solve, but as she took a c

EXTRA GRETEL Chapter 333: Divide

When she had finally finished tracing over the top of the diagrams and more lightly marking out the mottled and burnt areas of the sheet to make clear which areas were the result of her own extrapolation, a hand suddenly lightly poked her shoulder, causing her freeze. Somewhere within Gretel, the instinct to turn around with her fists raised to retaliate against the shock to her system rose up out of a pit, but at the same time, the image of the spy, begging for his life, flashed through her mind, the scene playing out in front of her, forcing her body to stop to a juddering halt in fear of retaliation. So she did nothing. "Sorry for surprising you," a voice called out, apologetic in tone and whispering to be heard over the deafening and ringing silence of the room. She recognised it immediately and turned around to face Green_One, who was leaning over with a slightly sheepish and worried look.

EXTRA GRETEL Chapter 334

"I had to go to one of the city ones for that job, and they did pay for everything, but I had siblings to look after and work to provide for, so I couldn't move to one of the Border Schools to go and study. Where did you go?" Green_One explained to her, tapping against his arms lightly with his fingers, just as he had done to Gretel to try and get her attention. It looked as if he was fighting within himself to keep himself in the world of the outside. "I went to R2," Gretel succinctly replied, knowing that the name of her educational institution was infamous enough to provide all the adequate information and context needed. It took anyone and everyone with almost legendarily low prices for their places, with the drawback being the general environment and the absolute terror that was instilled in everyone who attended. Green_One gave a visible flinch when he heard the words coming out of her mouth, a

Chapter 335: Thank You

Lila clenched her fists anxiously in her lap, outside sitting in the waiting room next to a small, painted radiator and a water fountain.There was a train station only two streets away where she knew was a coffee where she could buy hot chocolate for herself to warm up the freezing blizzard that was raging inside of her.Her hands were shaking, and she forced her fingers to relax, laying her hands over her knees. Taking several deep breaths, Lila made sure to focus on the mechanical motions of it, doing her best to clear her mind as best as she could.It only worked for a short time and, within less than half a minute, Lila jumped out of her rickety plastic chair and began pacing the room.Her right arm was beginning to ache again, so she brought up her left arm to begin massaging it from the shoulder downwards.To distract herself, she poured herself a cheap, Styrofoam cup of water, and willingly shivered and suffered as she downed the whole drin

Chapter 336: Laugh and Cry

“What happened to your shoes?” Kai asked her when they had turned off of the street.“I gave them to the woman in the waiting room. She looked like she had panicked and run there in a hurry, so I gave them to her,” Lila explained to him, her blood buzzing right under her skin.She leapt up onto one of his arms and whispered,” Did everything work out alright?”Kai took a larger than usual step, ducked down a little, and then grinned at her.“Yeah,” he breathed out,” Yeah.”“I’m staying with you for a bit, because it’s a safe place to stay, and because I’m going to be an adult in less than a day now, I don’t have to go into foster care or live like Tracy Beaker,” he went on elaborating.It was as if the clouds had parted, and Kai couldn’t stop talking.He confessed that the police officer had been perfectly polite and kind to him, notin

Chapter 337: The Marriage Debate

Lila was working the next day, when the social worker came to visit.The lady was dressed in a prim suit with a satchel by her side, entirely put together and professional looking. She wore a little badge, pinned to her blazer, that held the town council logo and took her time choosing the frosted cupcake that she would like with the expresso that she was ordering.It set Lila on edge, but the police did as well, and she knew that she ought to get over her fear of authority some day.“Kai’ll be here in a few minutes. Traffic’s worse today,” Lila gave as an unprompted explanation.The woman nodded, and sat back in a booth towards the back of the café in the corner opposite the door, handily hidden from Lila and to anyone who was going to walk into the café.Kai turned up within a minute, panting and slightly red faced. His first words to Lila were,” Are they here yet?”Lila pointed him towards
