Alicia was lying there, wearing a gray fleece blanket and staring at the television showing an old movie."Surprise! A special egg omelette for Alicia and Nic, the handsome detective."Hearing Nicholas complimenting himself narcissistically, Alicia chuckled amusedly. She corrected her sitting position, then lowered the blanket that covered half of her body.Nicholas sat on the same sofa as Alicia, then placed two plates of omelette that he had made himself onto the table.

You'll love it."Alicia rolled her eyes lazily, she then chuckled. Her laugh sounded hoarse and melodious at the same time. "You need to lose that confidence, Nic.""I can't.

Alicia blinked her eyes a few times before letting out a long sigh and getting out of bed. She looked around and realized a thick blanket still covered her body.The cold weather outside made her body cold. But there was nothing colder than living in loneliness and emptiness.Having managed to gather consciousness from her deep sleep, Alicia walked towards the source of the smell. It seemed to be the aroma of cake. A smell quite similar to the one she had encountered in the kitchen of Emma, Nicholas' mother."Nicholas?"Alicia's husky voice made Nicholas look up. Nicholas' hand, which was already wrapped in a latex glove, was raised in the air. He smiled and waved. "Good morning. Did you sleep well last night?"Alicia bent her forehead, then pointed at Nicholas' hand which was still waving in the air. "You made food with the gloves you used to hold dead

He waved the gun in his hand and pointed the butt of the gun at Alicia."You will see everything you have disappear forever, Alicia," said the masked man.Nicholas had just been shot. He was shot in the leg, but the wound was enough to keep Nicholas from chasing the masked man who was now waving as he walked away from the two of them.The man's laughter was still haunting, as Alicia tried to untie the ropes that bound her."Nicholas! Nic, please!"A moaning voice was heard from Nicholas. The man was still lying on the ground with both hands clutching his shot right thigh. Blood filled his pants. He felt his thigh throbbing.

They had run out of clothes that fit Nicholas' body size.And Nicholas felt uncomfortable with the nurse's gaze for him. What's more, Alicia was sitting there, observing them both with a curious expression.
