To make everything clear, Callisto jumped out of the window of his bedroom and headed to Stalin's house. He met Linley along the way, she was sitting on the bench under the lamppost, and she seemed to be waiting for someone. Callisto stopped in front of her. "What are you doing out here at this hour? Aren't you sleepy yet?" Callisto asked. Linley stood up and replied, "I heard that you're leaving tomorrow. I just wanted to say goodbye and let you know that I'm grateful to have met you." "I can still visit here if I want. I might leave this town, but we're still friends wherever I go. Don't worry, I'm sure we'll see each other again someday if we're truly meant to be," Callisto replied. "I understand. So, where are you going now?" Linley asked. "It seems like you can't sleep either." "I want to see Stalin, even just for the last time. I just want to say goodbye to her just in case we won't be able to see each other again, at least she knew that I care for her," Callisto said. "Well, I can accompany you to their house. It will be bad if those street guys picked up a fight with you again, this way I can help you give them what they deserve," Linley smiled, extending her hand to Callisto. "Let's beat them together," Callisto replied, holding Linley's hand and they walked together hand in hand. Callisto and Linley eventually arrived in front Stalin's house, which was quiet and dark as if it was haunted by eerie ghosts. Without wasting their time, they entered the house and looked for Stalin. As Callisto opened her room, he was surprised to see Stalin trying to take her own life with a rope attached to the ceiling. "O my god! What are you doing?" Callisto rushed towards Stalin and immediately snatched the rope from her hands before she could jump from the chair. "I just wanna die! I want to see my mother! I can't live in this world alone!" Stalin cried, losing all her reasons to live, especially when she knew that Callisto was also leaving her, despite knowing that he was the only person she could trust. "Please calm down, Stalin. I understand how you feel, but taking your own life wouldn't solve all your problems. You have to live, there are many thing you can still do and places you can explore in this world," Callisto said, looking directly to her teary eyes while holding her arms. "I don't want to be alone! Callisto, please, don't leave me!" Stalin cried out loud like a baby. "I love you! Don't leave me! I can't live without you." Callisto was surprised with those words coming out from Stalin's lips out of a sudden. He realized that she also had feelings for him and they felt the same way. "Did you really mean it?" Callisto asked as he didn't want to be fooled by one of Stalin's pranks. Stalin nodded as a reply and Callisto suddenly held her waist and lift her up while looking at her sparkling eyes. Callisto passionately kissed her lips, and at that moment, Stalin felt like something within her was freed. "Hey, there are too many ants here!" Linley exclaimed as she glimpsed through the door. "You gotta cancel your flight, Callisto, and marry that girl instead!" She shouted, which made them laugh. Stalin let go of Callisto and walked towards Linley. She looked at her as if she was going to do something crazy, then she stopped right in front of her. "Please, Stalin, if you're going to slap my face because I was accused of flirting with your boyfriend, then you shouldn't do that," Linley suggested. Stalin slowly raised her hands, and instead of slapping Linley's face, she gave her a warm embrace and thanked her for taking care of Callisto. She hope that she wouldn't be a third wheel because she didn't want their friendship to end just because of a boy. Although Callisto wasn't just any ordinary boy for Linley because he was handsome and hot, Linley told her friend that she'd never betray her. They cuddled each other once again and their friendship was now stronger than ever. Night had quickly turned into day, but when Stalin woke up, he found Callisto was not beside her anymore. She remembered a song that tells story about a relationship that only lasts for a week, and she never wanted to experience that kind of relationship. On the other hand, Callisto remembered his plan with his sister. It was true that everyone was fair whether in love or war. They planned ahead of time for what might happen. They knew that Estrella would come to them one of these days to do her revenge as what Ruth said, especially since this was the last week of their vacation. "I hope that she will fall into the trap," Callisto said. It was already night, and the climax of summer could be felt. The cold air turned into a warm, but everyone didn't know that it was caused by the goddess's anger. She waited too long for this time to come, and she didn't want to waste this given opportunity, or else she would need to wait for the next summer again. There was no moon drifting in the sky, so it was a good time for the goddess to attack. Her evil-like laughter filled the mountain and gradually disappeared as she did. Where she did go next was already expected. The goddess entered Sebastian's house without making any noises. She didn't want to be caught or it could ruin her plans. As she halted inside their living room, she saw many photos of Sebastian's and the woman whom she hated the most, even in her last breath. "Don't worry, my beloved man, you won't be sad anymore, because you're going with the woman you choose over me. You'll meet her in hell," Estrella whispered. Estrella's once red lips now turned black and her beautiful hair had grown like snakes, ready to bite their prey. She had also grown two horns in her head, showing how cruel she had become. The cruel goddess continued walking towards Sebastian's bedroom and peered through the narrow hole on the door. She saw him sleeping deeply, and thought that she'd give him his worst nightmare, so that he couldn't wake up anymore. Estrella cautiously entered the room, and completely saw the man who enthralled her before, but now, those feelings turned into wrath. Estrella unsheathed her little dagger and angrily stabbed Sebastian's chest, and blood spurted out from his chest like a fountain. It took her a few seconds before she realized it wasn't Sebastian, but Ruth. It was Cryrie. She sacrificed herself to save her so-called father. No words came out of Estrella's lips. She was stunned for a while, but a little cry came out of her. Her hands were trembling as she touch Ruth's face, she remembered many things about her, almost everyday, they were with each other. Now she couldn't believe she ended everything here. That feeling and scene were familiar. Even Estrella's own hands became mad of herself. They seemed to have their own mind, and because of anger to herself, she took the knife and stabbed herself. As blood was spilled on the floor, she knelt and eventually lay down with her favorite servant. It was absolutely not in her plan to kill herself for the second time, but what would her life be like if she became alone again? Inside Callisto's room, he and his sister were secretly observing, and they suddenly jumped when they saw their plan succeed. They were relieved because they no longer had to deal with her power and rage because their greatest adversary had voluntarily killed herself. Ruth realized what Estrella told her before that no one ever love her like she do. She realized that she never lied to her, and it showed that she was the one who betrayed her because she could die for her. Although Ruth was sad that she didn't appreciate Estrella's love for her, she knew what she only did was the right thing. It was right as rain that a killer should experience death too, so that there would be peace. For now, they only need to celebrate someone's death. The goddess completely turned back into a whirling wind, which couldn't help itself but to flow hither and thither. "So, what are we going to do next?" Callisto asked. "What else, brother?" Ruth replied. "Our summer vacation ended here, so we must pack up things because we're going home tomorrow."
