The three of them who are now in a cafe are talking about the complaints experienced by Seraphine. Dasom and Lami as soon as they heard what Sera said made them feel scared and began to speculate strangely in their minds. It didn't stop there, Sera also wanted to say something that made her heart uncomfortable about what happened at that time. As soon as Sera was about to say it, Lami suddenly showed something that caught their attention. At that moment Lami screamed hysterically and made the whole room stare at them. "This is crazy. Let's see this, "said Lami while showing a live broadcast on his cellphone. “What is this? Are they out of their minds?” Dasom said in surprise and immediately covered her mouth as if it was disgusting. Sera was also curious about it and then looked at it. "Who is that? Why did he do that in the middle of the broadcast? That person could die.” "This is outrageous indeed." "Wait, where did you see this broadcast?" "There is. This is the link," said Lami, showing it to the two of them. "Seriously. Gosh," said Dasom “Why do you guys like something terrible so much? Don't feel sorry? Really?" "Look at Sera, this isn't a lie." "That's enough. I don't want to see him again. it was terrible.” Lami then stopped showing the broadcast to Sera as well as Dasom. When they were cool to talk at the cafe. Instantly the sound of rain fell so hard. The three of them sitting by the window made it feel real. It was raining continuously throughout Antherius, even news broadcasts broadcast today's weather conditions and it will definitely rain in the future. Seeing such a gray and dark scene made everyone feel disturbed because their activities were limited by bad weather. Sera and her two friends had to be trapped in the cafe with their current state not looking worrisome. Not long after that Lami went to the toilet. And now the two of them were waiting for him in the seat while enjoying a few slices of cake. "What are you going to do after this? Dasom asked Seraphine. "As usual. I will work and study.” "No. I mean, are you still going to work there? after what you've been through." "That matter. I have no other choice but to hold on for a while. Anyway I love the place. it feels peaceful." "Even so aren't you worried that something might happen again?" "I don't think it's a problem. There have been a lot of strange things and again I'm used to it." "Are you sure it's okay? How about working with me at the cafe I work at?” "Thanks for the offer. I will consider it in the future.” "I hope you don't waste your chance. And again if I were you. Definitely going out of that job you know why? It's scary." "I don't believe in ghosts or curses. So don't worry." "Yes. I know." "Hey you two, what were you talking about just now?" asked Lami who had just come from the toilet and immediately sat down with the two of them. “Still discussing earlier,” said Dasom "Oh that one." "Oh that sucks. The rain is getting heavier until when are we going to be stuck here?” Dasom grumbled “Just wait until it subsides,” said Seraphine “I think it will take a long time,” said Lami "Too bad today." The three of them were forced to stay there during the rain and continue chatting together. At Gabriel's house he was having a relaxing time and he didn't even move a meter from his bed. His activity today is playing video games until his head hurts. As soon as he finished treatment from the doctor yesterday afternoon, he didn't go anywhere and just lay in his room lazily. His energy-saving life made him feel eternal peace and continued to do so all this time. When he looked out the window he saw that it was raining heavily. He who was staring behind the window immediately turned around and lay down on his bed again. Currently Thomas is not at Gabriel's house and he is at his workplace which is none other than the museum. Gabriel who was supposed to be working today got one day off because of his previous condition. It wasn't too bad but he used it to rest. This time he felt strange again as long as he lived his life many memories had been passed by Gabriel but all of them he never remembered as if they just left like the wind. When he was pensive and tried to remember what had happened during his life almost nothing came to his mind. Except for bad dreams and strange things that always appear every time he sleeps. Right now in a place that was none other than Leo's work residence. As soon as he finished his work, he went straight to the room that Madam Austine said. "Finally finished. Wait a minute, still not. I have to clean up the room,” Leo muttered as he left his seat and headed straight for the room. His workplace doesn't look like an office, it's more like an aristocratic space because the owner of this place is obsessed with vintage gothic style. Leo walked down the corridor until finally he was in front of the elevator and went straight to the 57th floor. Just when he reached the 57th floor and went straight down the corridor he saw the room Madam Austine was referring to and he entered the room. When he opened the door to the room, he saw a lot of messy books and he immediately let out a long sigh of regret. “This is troublesome for you,” Leo said as he walked in. The room filled with books and archival documents made him feel burdened and then he immediately cleaned it up because it was unsightly. In a different room, Madam Austine, who is none other than Leo's boss, is sitting in his office chair while enjoying a glass of wine. There the madam looked relaxed while listening to the classical music she played a few minutes ago. The melodic chant dominates the room with the sound of gurgling raindrops making it so comfortable. Until then came a man carrying a stack of documents into his room. “Excuse me madam. I'm sorry to interrupt. This is today's observation document," said the man as he placed the stack of papers on Austine's desk. "Okay. You can go." "Yes. Excuse me." The guy who just came in was his workman and he always did his job well just like Leo did. The very large document was then seen by the madam and it turned out that the contents were enough to make her satisfied. This time Leo had almost finished his work and made him complain a little. It wasn't long before he finished it all. The books are many and now neat. Leo then left the room and he went to the 40th floor which was none other than Madam Austine's room and was about to tell him. "That's quite a sweat job, isn't it, Leo?" said an old man who approached him. That person looks like an art critic. "Oh, that's pretty good. Are you here to see the madam?" "Right. you can guess right away.” "Who else would come here if not to see him." "You've grown up. It's been a long time hasn't it?" "I don't really remember you so it's useless to reminisce." "This child. How about your college? I heard you took archeology?” "Goes well. And that is right. how do you know that?” “I heard it from someone. Are you sure about what you chose?” "Hah? So what? I like it." "Good. I hope you won't regret it. And there's one more thing I want to tell you." "What are you going to say?" "Come over to my place sometime and you'll remember it." "What do you mean?" "It's about time and you should know it too." "Yeah, whatever." The two of them then walked towards madam Austine's room and when they got there they saw madam Austine who was dead covered in blood all over her body. Seeing what was happening at that time made both of them immediately shocked and then saw what happened. His body was pierced by sharp objects and there were a lot of them. Bleeding occurred to make everything in the room splashed with blood. Leo who saw this he just fell silent in shock. "This is not possible? What has happened? madam? Oh no!” Leo shouted "Austine! Oh shit, he's dead. His pulse is not throbbing," said the old man And not long after that the ambulance came to take him for an autopsy. The incident that made Leo slightly shaken left him speechless and speechless. The police came to the location and immediately investigated the incident making the people who work in this building paranoid and immediately assumed that there had been a murder. Not a few of them felt the inner pressure of what had happened to their boss and a moment later someone came towards Leo. The person was dressed in black and also wore a black mask so that he could not recognize his face at a glance he had green eyes. The person left as soon as Leo glanced at him and instantly made himself wonder who the stranger was. Now the atmosphere is not conducive anymore. Madam Austine's body was later buried after a successful autopsy and there was nothing unusual about her body. The funeral started 10 minutes after the autopsy results came out. Leo and other workers as well as madam Austine's relatives are now at the Antherius city public cemetery watching her funeral. The rainy weather made the atmosphere even more sad. Leo continued to stare at his grave and then he remembered madam Austine's kindness to him and it certainly brought tears to his eyes for that moment. After the funeral ceremony was completed Leo then returned to his house to rest there.

Creativity that sharpens clarity is genius.” I put this first because it's the most important tip you can take from this list. If you do nothing more than write clearly, you're going to be in the top 10% of all writers. Don't try to sound impressive, just try to be clear.

The writing is actually good, unlike most of the novel in this app it has great grammar, not my type of book since it's a crime genre but i recommend it to those who likes that type of book.
