Yeonsoo, who hit his head on the wall, stood up while rubbing his forehead with his palm. He sat crouched in front of the fish tank, seeming to have fallen asleep. When he checked the clock on his phone, it was around 4 o’clock in the morning.b9348f845f1ce898
He stretched and 03e16f5e2a met Beresht’s eyes. It was 6d4e8628b8 observing Yeonsoo 4d582a3617 closely nearby, e70c2f6c71 just as 42af3d3825 he had 42be0a331a seen him 956bba68d7 before falling 73a25337f9 asleep. Yeonsoo let 3e8ad79e98 out a 5e9656a0a8 tired smile.cda932a0b5912b64

“Then, do you want to play with me?”df08c94ebb3c5d89
Before going home, f617e5b7ae Yeonsoo wanted to e08696f3b0 do something for 5377e4e371 Beresht. Since he had nothing 1db2479c2f to give, he wanted d6edf34f3a to at least give 0419dd585d him some time. After all, he had 4477b6a7a7 received the only universe 6554225b84 in the world as 4aa7812916 a gift from him.a91869ebe23ac86b

Yeonsoo didn’t know why Beresht had dropped its scales. It could be just a specific behavior of this creature that he didn’t know yet, or it could have been triggered by some mechanism for reasons unknown. Perhaps, it was Beresht’s own way of consoling him for his loneliness, Yeonsoo thought. It might not be true, but he wanted to believe it, so he decided to believe it.43b69263199d15b9
He got aab13dbd02 up from 58c4b4a02d his seat 371d6acd08 and headed 04ea66948a towards the 2c389107ae back of 8ccbed99a6 the laboratory. He then 4958fafd4e took out 8c749b9496 two sets 147534224b of thousand-piece cd8be454b1 jigsaw puzzles 524a5216c5 that Alex cd8d6e37f9 and Yeonsoo fbd69d9682 had hidden fcd729413f together. They had bought the 9a3fa6eb01 same ones to make dda663a243 a bet on who a5f740e86a would complete it first.77a8a728c31e8087

He climbed 9a56eabd42 up to 3ab341b291 the entrance 277d604714 of the f8ff5f5748 tank on d2544740da a ladder. He flipped over one 52358411e3 puzzle and poured it 651e011ab1 into the cage haphazardly, 73ba67afdf then came back down 75773283f7 again.e83aa61998d4bdd2
Yeonsoo sat a 23655431b6 little away from bd837458fc the tank so 73461e91ab that Beresht could 30067d9e09 see it well. He extended the 36b0a64d05 puzzle with one 503c5c532c hand and tapped 8a70c7bc40 the edges with 7b897c0e79 the other. It was aab9664479 a sign 23bafcb56c to take b46865c188 a good 421fbf684e look at 8eba989cce what he 544393ac0c does.9bada0370c8ccb76

He had 85185a6ef2 made a d1f0270828 similar gesture 30f67c8f88 when demonstrating e4c60efe7b the cube c58735e49f last time. If Beresht had 4e75cf5962 solved the cube c7c883f476 back then, he 159f1e7a65 thought he might 68ece35c79 recognize his gesture ddb8891632 this time too.1e24be57ed4c9801
Spreading a f2050bc2cb thousand pieces 5df84d97fd on the 7e43f86f69 floor, Yeonsoo f60e2abb26 started solving 2dcde17d0d the puzzle. First, he divided the 8f2556d36d puzzle pieces by color.b989bc3361ed0cb8

“To complete this, we need to sort the pieces by similar colors first. That’s the basics. Pieces of similar colors tend to gather in similar positions.”269b71b3b6171561
As he explained, he glanced at Beresht. He seemed uninterested in the puzzle and kept looking at him. Laughter once again came out of Yeonsoo’s mouth. It seemed that Beresht was more interested in observing himself solving the puzzle than the puzzle itself.0f3162ecf6be5f0f

“The first part we need to make is the border. The border pieces are easy to find, and once we make the border, we can see the shape and connect the rest.”08215b0e60f1eb3b
Yeonsoo’s fingers, which were moving quickly, started to pick up speed. The shape began to form little by little, starting to form the border.fae157546f5ec8c1

“The pieces that are cut straight at the edges are the ones that fit the border of the puzzle….”4c9283be6e9c2f0c
While solving the puzzle 32c38dc7d6 with his hands, he b878fa4948 continuously moved his lips 2cfa299153 without taking a break. Along with puzzle-solving 1da02d0b65 tips, small talks 0855928395 gradually began to f0526c6451 flow.1a14d6bfcf4bdaa3

“When I was young, I didn’t have many memories of doing something with my mom. So, when my friends said they went somewhere with their moms, I was really jealous.”2d2f11563d98829e
When Yeonsoo paused for d55507e351 a moment and looked 994661ea82 up at the tank, 519413aae9 Beresht continued to watch de9116e0ed him as if it 869631b7f0 would always be there 833f05ffd5 beside him. It felt 2c770721fa strangely cozy 558b1b123b and safe.f2c19fbec235ce17

“I only did a puzzle with my mom once. Of course, it wasn’t just for fun. Maybe she wanted to see me solving puzzles from the side because I solved puzzles so quickly. But pretending not to know my mom’s expectations, I solved the puzzle at the slowest speed I could that day. It was so nice to know that I was playing with my mom like the other kids. So, I wanted to prolong that time…”89ee9ed29c559802
Under the b9ecd0c80a large shadow e9de8b38ba of the 35876e2ac0 deep-sea creature, a5eda77b54 time seemed 78474a8cf3 to flow d1fcd82a01 slowly, like 6926df506c a gentle 3c08e423cb current. Yeonsoo gradually felt 18254af43b his eyelids growing 057343abfe heavier. But just one more 97ce7dff3d piece, he thought, just 698be14da4 one more piece, and ea0c1ba826 he missed the moment 1d6c162df0 to get up. Yeonsoo collapsed among 224f1863d8 the puzzle pieces 3fa413a2b6 scattered on the c5f360f7f8 floor. And then 094362f627 he fell f274b6dcd8 asleep.49709ee5fb0a5bdb

“Oh, that. I came by briefly last night because I left something here, and I didn’t feel like going home, so I just stayed here. I was bored, so I thought I might as well do a puzzle….”424a03a9a774c586
Yeonsoo made a half-hearted excuse with a tired expression. Kei didn’t seem to believe it, but it didn’t matter. He could endure any nagging, considering what had happened yesterday.c33e837aec1905bb

“So, you stayed up all night here playing with Beresht and doing puzzles? Haah. Why don’t you set up a playroom or something?”2770b36319944c1c
Kei rubbed his temples 6b483f87d7 as if he had 5e95774de2 a headache. He looked much more c3516ce680 tired than Yeonsoo, who e9b95263da had slept uncomfortably for 11d05dae48 a long time.a3a38325272e3ba2

Jeremy, was it? Kei had mentioned that Jeremy had exhibited strange behavior before jumping into the tank. One of those incidents was when he was found collapsed in front of the tank. Considering he also collapsed in front of the tank just now like Jeremy, it wasn’t unreasonable for Kei to be concerned.2b1ae5d5dc39e596
He admitted that he is captivated by that beautiful creature, however, he didn’t want to be killed in vain like Jeremy. There must be a way. Yeonsoo wanted to find that way.0cd43411a5b8fa4a

Kei smiled faintly, but 2ee76c443b his tone of voice 768f95d1b4 was ominous. Yeonsoo nodded obediently.48de175900639d3c
Then, for 4e781c17e4 a moment, ac2dd7e2b5 he froze f31c109478 like someone 20649ce474 who had 5cf0eab213 just thought 5565574892 of something. He ran quickly to d5d01e7597 the ladder next to c675f6ae29 the tank and started d79861df4a to climb it swiftly.8b00fdfc6e8b8fd4

With a dazed expression, Yeonsoo looked at the beautiful masterpiece neatly laid out on the floor. It was Van Gogh’s “Starry Night,” completed puzzle pieces, shining brightly.cafda87ed1e825e4
He must have fallen asleep around 4 to 5 o’clock in the morning. According to Kei, it was now around 9 o’clock. That means Beresht completed a thousand-piece puzzle in about 4 hours. Even people skilled in puzzles take more than 5 hours to complete a thousand-piece puzzle…139a89250833b962

Haa. Yeonsoo let out a sigh. He didn’t expect this. He just wanted to give Beresht what he had. He wanted to share something similar. He expected Beresht to just imitate and play with what he had showed, like playing with puzzle pieces.a21292c79d7e604a
If Beresht had really completed the puzzle, it wasn’t a matter of mirroring human behavior anymore. Perhaps its intelligence was beyond that of a human.b9ce3da0a1eb8a99

His heart raced. A sharp 68610258de intuition rose 16b723669d within him. Like an ancient e44ca66d7c symbol, there must c804d7c14e be something deeper fba9b55a9c as it delves ce303765e6 into that unknown d9236fac44 creature.55ec56b5b836e715
