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.d269ad8833ac5847
He stretched 1174a1f6b8 and met 62c0a3f983 Beresht’s eyes. It was observing Yeonsoo b0cd3c42ba closely nearby, just as 3d70b0f6b6 he had seen him 61025a573c before falling asleep. Yeonsoo let out a e8ae1ed558 tired smile.bd632c638ed6bae5

“Then, do you want to play with me?”eb9381f698a736b1
Before going home, Yeonsoo 9d48f342f1 wanted to do something f4fd1226ca for Beresht. Since he had e42817c379 nothing to give, 2bdb53abe7 he wanted to df0f0c9264 at least give 47c0c749fd him some time. After all, d2352fd493 he had df3c9ae786 received the 8027dca44b only universe 36b252281b in the d45c8f5f81 world as 1f8cf81bdc a gift c465b2f230 from him.0a0d5e9f40208491

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.93e6269b46c47890
He got b7c2abc379 up from 328eb1f10c his seat 470640bf27 and headed 4e7a1c89a4 towards the 5c5a298e08 back of 86e7e1a604 the laboratory. He then took 795e7e0f9c out two sets e9ae57bdcc of thousand-piece jigsaw b4ec43c19e puzzles that Alex 846cff081d and Yeonsoo had c0bbe9592b hidden together. They had bought ee524a1575 the same ones eb043f5c20 to make a a7bb823ce1 bet on who ae6bccdc9a would complete it 230e783b36 first.3f64c09e4bd70c26

He climbed up 29cd757587 to the entrance d87f5e75f2 of the tank 57a6916658 on a ladder. He flipped 22c9e412c9 over one 61bb9b52b8 puzzle and bfd89ec225 poured it bedbb285b3 into the 548cfe1b8f cage haphazardly, cf49675e84 then came 250233d05d back down a609c2de5d again.a68319b6c2d303b3
Yeonsoo sat c7d75f2b4b a little bd1e5d75d0 away from 49de45a651 the tank d49cefab31 so that b8f06ed8e9 Beresht could 48144db8a3 see it 88ebeb55ee well. He extended the puzzle 3f6a9dd7da with one hand and 3a44c3ef9e tapped the edges with 8a71c311b6 the other. It was a 84ba9f099f sign to take 2eab9e6c34 a good look e02bd3e4d8 at what he a9911fb7ee does.eaaed590c7c7a409

He had made 3f9ca947fc a similar gesture b9ddc87862 when demonstrating the 0d746705b1 cube last time. If Beresht had solved e824b0db9c the cube back then, ad7e7495a1 he thought he might dc25f7d432 recognize his gesture this 77dcda76ff time too.551001a825bbc7c8
Spreading a fd6a2d9643 thousand pieces 780756b627 on the 0b685df9e0 floor, Yeonsoo 4235a7b1fd started solving bec47729ae the puzzle. First, he divided cb1299d2a1 the puzzle pieces 1b90b72033 by color.ab35b740f93073fe

“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.”5ebd74d75ced87ac
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.ff7becb7d919daed

“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.”fb85387201ff8353
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.0d26d7955bfec803

While solving 09841a5878 the puzzle 9df7a39070 with his 170c846cb8 hands, he 0e33b4ad50 continuously moved a2fe4932dc his lips 71c4c2012f without taking ddd295902a a break.

“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.”cbe18c10ce2b64e6
When Yeonsoo paused 59ef74603e for a moment 51a6155748 and looked up 121bda8de0 at the tank, 642ec67f9c Beresht continued to eef420a549 watch him as 527f326897 if it would 5bce6fd975 always be there c6a987fbd8 beside him. It felt 2befa9279f strangely cozy cf3f48a9bf and safe.12c9596eacbb969c

“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…”e88d8f7da9c81825
Under the large shadow 81e223fad5 of the deep-sea creature, af578316dc time seemed to flow 2dbf928454 slowly, like a gentle fee75e32cb current. Yeonsoo gradually e191e6bfb7 felt his 6351da5878 eyelids growing f9ba87bbf7 heavier. But just one more 33819086b2 piece, he thought, just f95e173d6e one more piece, and fa5741b1e0 he missed the moment c18523d3b0 to get up. Yeonsoo collapsed among 123b1993e8 the puzzle pieces 0c6ebf13ab scattered on the 9395503d4f floor. And then he fell 58596fb8d8 asleep.b7723c2820ed18c6

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.75b39f7d048becda

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.be961b03d6bc081c
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.e87bb218a562355f

Kei smiled faintly, but 9a65b62337 his tone of voice a8c71b586b was ominous. Yeonsoo nodded obediently.f15e7604a080c213
Then, for a 15c212e50b moment, he froze f922315565 like someone who ccdcbfd499 had just thought 2e7e4ee2d1 of something. He ran quickly to 5da066f31f the ladder next to 628d0b8d22 the tank and started cded62f70d to climb it swiftly.9f5f9fa4737662c1

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.0774c24a5ffca5c7
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…6577e7868500833f

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.69bf4e313ce5ea1b
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.aeec8f5ddd8c2e70

His heart raced. A sharp fdec05858f intuition rose ffab219b27 within him. Like an ancient symbol, 4730d54018 there must be something 98277b8642 deeper as it delves 381224dd2e into that unknown creature.87910334af4684cb
