Next day , he went to school early . He didn’t want to communicate with his classmates . “ give me my notebook .” Tes asked him , while he stood farther away . His eyes had dark visible circles , as if he didn’t sleep last night .
Harness , forgot to do his work . And he shuddered , but gave his notebook back .
He found some students talking about him . Probably cursing at him.
He heard one of the girl saying ,” he looks like a dead boy ... have you heard about the ghost of town . He creeps in the shadows and prey on mad people , who drinks and smoke .... he looks like him .” Her expression disgusted harness . That he ran to bathroom to vomit .
He couldn’t look at her . Maybe it was because she doesn’t look like Rorry . He smiled .
After he came back , the class was already started .
Although the whole class was cold , harness felt comfortable. He was used to it . The next class was of , Mr. yazuka . He didn’t taught that day . Instead he tells children to be aware of thug on roads , that loot people . He tells them about his day , makes small talk with children . He looks at harness . Who was looking outside the window , at a tree . Where his mother seated .
“ harness ?” Mr. yazuka called him out .
The whole class went silent , looking at the thin boy who had large bulging eyes , again his left eye was covered with hair .
“ tell us , what you like ?” The teacher smiled , while harness stood up silently . Staring at the whole class .
He doesn’t know what to answer , or what the question really demands . So he stared at the teacher , so deeply and intensely , that mr. Yazuka looses his tie a bit and removed his glasses , placing them on the table . “ I meant food or movie that you Like ?” The question was reserved for him . “ I like , books . Food , tasty food . “ he answered . His voice was eery and creepy , it was cold and shaky . That could give goosebumps, and the whole class started chatting ..
“ he is a creep .”
“ psycho ?”
“ No , he is the town ghost .”
“ his parents died .” Harness’s eyes turned to face the last voice . It was a girl .
He smiled . Rorry . Although she wasn’t her . But because she seems to know , what happened to him . He seemed amazed by her .
Mr. yazuka , shushed the class and scolded them not to speak ill of others .
The chat didn’t stopped yet .
They were baffled by the point that he smiled , on the fact that his parents died .
Suddenly his smile faded . When his mother stared at him from the class corridor.
The girl from earlier , rolled her eyes at him . She loves me , he thought .
That day when he returned home , he took out the large box from under the bed , while his mother stood there .
“ Noooo!” She screamed and he took out a large jar container, and broke it . As it shattered , his mother faded .
“ I don’t need you now ... I got my rorry .” His eyes looked as if he was under spell .
His smile was weird and scary . His mother thinly faded and touched her boys face . “ do well .” And she vanished .
He locked his mother , for 13 years after her death and now he let her go , after he realized what he did , he didn’t weep . He didn’t moved . He just stared at the shattered jar . And then cleaned it . Before his aunt came back home .
He looked at the mirror . Stared at his reflection . “ Mother !” He whispered . Not sure to himself or the realization that he just looks like her . His mother died when he was 7 . From then on , his father was teaching him to be a man . He didn’t want to be a man . He wanted to be the gentleman that Rory loves.
Rorry was his only ultimate goal in life .
When his aunt came back home , her loud screams woke him up . He rushed outside , only to find -Michi , covered in blood . “ don’t afraid . “ harness told her .
While his aunt looked at him with surprise,” she gave birth . “ he took out seven fingers out . “ this kids !” He told her . He smiled at her . “ I named them , Sunday , Monday , Tuesday , Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday !” He laughed awkwardly , showing his large teeth .
While her aunt was still surprised from the Sudden birth . But she doesn’t debate , knowing too well , that all she does is work and comes late at night . So maybe -Michi did give birth .
He rubs her forehead , and goes to her room after making sure , harness is in bed .
