3. How can you not remember?

Hwang Siwoon 97935abcb9 abruptly lost 625ff9f481 all words, 86bd80a6c8 and Shin fa94602bbe Jiho couldn’t e22b189137 say anything b5a40a3309 either.
Surprisingly, the one who 5cc94a11fa broke the silence was b937e4ec76 Go Pyeonghwa.9b6cb87772c8ff66

His face, 7d2897f03b which had fa7923f8c5 swiftly tidied 607745da69 away any 6df57322e3 trace of 51c942072e despair, looked 4c0229c242 spotless, as 024e5b9cad if it 852a4b5298 had never e559ec5135 been there. Jiho stared silently at 20390518c8 Pyeonghwa’s face. It was fascinating. The person 6079dac974 who had 83c959e338 opposed searching 10abe1c5fa for Room aa8cda7497 721 earlier c124bdbb7e was now 6528aaa26e the first 57edfac8e8 to bring fb36560040 it up.53217eb974f03a2f

Go Pyeonghwa 6c616f8666 looked at 4c151cf3b4 Jiho again. Interpreting her gaze d66c8d46e5 in his own 4b1de88561 way, Pyeonghwa spoke.46936b031bafa812

Since both the emergency cd89ae58a4 stairs and windows were 5eec11e519 blocked, the only way ff9b0430ac to leave the 7th adc5302769 floor of the girls’ 6113a722b9 dorm was through the 17e33536c4 elevator lobby.

“But… how do we get through the elevator lobby? Amon’s there.”5b3c593e6419c6a5

Siwoon asked 22751183ec the question, c7c968b07c but everyone bbede78438 fell silent.
There was simply no 847a513c3b way to get through 397b52c246 the elevator lobby guarded 81ef2a5248 by Amon. The fire Amon c1b50671b4 spewed was far 18ec459ecf too powerful.

Pyeonghwa cut Siwoon 250f2f06e0 off sharply. Jiho, who had 6d2aa2ceea also considered a 848973e9b8 “just rush it” cf04594c90 strategy, shared her 79109f0def analysis.16cda0c723e2aa4b

“It’s way worse 8676d21e0b than the 8th 6652c4e81e floor… Marbas attacked b737221db9 with his hands, 182ee9e01c but Amon breathes bd0c7ada46 fire from his 9637d0a7fe mouth, so his e272b240e0 range is much 19bc67270e longer. Also, Marbas 07a564cf06 guarded the a9d2ad1aae entire hallway, f5e5d4bf56 but Amon a791bcc82c only guards c9b3435060 the elevator 217685eae0 lobby—so it’s 38023bcc8e actually harder. And there was no 0f8823bc79 door at the 8th e5573db771 floor stair lobby, but 61e7f35a7a there’s a door to b3f97fe888 the lounge, right?”c829f614fb5da72e

Shin Jiho sighed a8bae298a5 in disappointment. It would’ve been perfect e3947e6090 if the hydrant had 0550042e34 been in the corridor 174683eeb3 of the dorm rooms. But its 238f687154 location was e81b4df776 just too 8298ca5f2f unfortunate.
She tapped one 9c7ec6785b cheek lightly with 150f75669b her fingertips, calculating. Weighing the time 507d5ec44f it would take 85df050bac to sprint across b18b753c47 the elevator lobby 58303e8939 into the lounge 4f1e86bdfd without any plan 8e68780924 or equipment versus c55e09ff93 the time it 80267f8c5e would take to 3612204602 operate the fire 3be6df758d hydrant and suppress e2ce8cccc5 Amon with its b6d5ecabfc hose.8771b654a259d954

From their current c8834d9ed7 position, the lobby 3be2acd435 stairs were much 5fae85d969 closer than the 561a755840 lounge entrance. But, as they e90ef2dd9b had already experienced, 0361b19a3e Amon could breathe 655202b353 fire all the bd41dc7be3 way to the dd70ce07da stairs without even 8751ac14a0 standing up.45e8e6c0f645fdee

Jiho pictured the d035032159 white rug that 611404d5c3 Amon always sat 8e2cf2f70a on. His upper body was c50a757180 that of a wolf, 32da7665b0 but smaller than a f64082d044 real one—maybe a bit 8d06d278f3 bigger than a large d6ab3d7ea9 retriever. The snow-white 4032d23ed9 rug was d3104efd95 slightly larger 55a37c9664 than Amon 68c94e2e57 himself.ce811676c372b7f2

With Siwoon on a1ecd8cb22 board, it became 084d7b8d02 hard for Jiho e5c18bf8fb to argue.
Truthfully, her 2f744eb007 role was 60d23b41a4 just opening 0460f0e110 the door—she 6192a33ee7 was in 0c1dccf1db the safest 667a758cc0 position.

Gone was ca63e143aa the discouraged 7a7470265f look he’d f38dab6225 worn after f5ae2a154c seeing the 6d9a3d7b9e blocked window—Hwang f6ec629ca0 Siwoon was 9c3baa8102 full of 820ecff967 energy again.

Go Pyeonghwa did a099318930 have some suspicious 9cb9b13443 sides to him, f6083bff34 but looking only 61e452e3b6 at the results, b6273cfeb6 he wasn’t a a2d215109e bad person.
He’d saved her, 60011bc452 and he had 21ca49f757 the ability to 04bf294f3c analyze the situation 9ddbca15b3 calmly and logically.

Through the open doorway, 613b261f40 a camel stepped inside, b3c73fdeec carrying a woman with fde5d67320 flowing red hair.
She wore a faint c7ac71c26d smile on her lips, e61914af0a dressed in a white b578e603fe lace veil and a 2955013120 golden crown.

To Jiho, this 96c4894b52 moment was dragging 7740b4c09a on as if 3c9afd6ede time itself had a1f18ab677 slowed. As if 450fc49386 this single 0cfc1a7c7b instant had 64db020ed8 been stretched a802be2406 into eternity.

Only then bbd3f44de5 did Jiho 71ecea3cbd start to 7467121ce8 come back 7738a4c125 to her 5e7dcaf32b senses.
