The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Changes (3)

Concerning the concerns of winter, Anne offered a new perspective.

“Change is usually scary. because we're not sure what happens next. Ugh... ”

She shrugged her neck with a screaming voice instead of talking.

“I feel good, but it hurts a little bit. ”

“It's because they have a lot of muscle tone. You haven't rested properly in days, have you? ”

“Rather than that... ”

Anne shudders at the end of her speech. Cute. Winter smiles briefly and weakens the power to rub her shoulders. Press into your thumb between the sheep's seeds and press them up and down repeatedly. Like Anne's humanity, the touch of her fingertips was firm and soft.

When winter said she would give me a massage, Anne strongly refused at first. No matter how good you are, who receives such things from a patient? However, the solicitation that did not end once seemed like a flirtation to her. In the end, Anne nodded her head while hesitating for a long time, with an embarrassing expression that was unique to the person who was excited.

The result is this time. The first awkward and stiff tension melted naturally as the contact grew longer.

“Personally, I'm guessing Captain Park had more to fear than greed. Fear of the future, common among refugees. Thirst that never subsides, seeking endless rest.... It's more like obsession. It could be a greedy identity. ”

Phew. She keeps her eyes closed.

“The president is about to change. The attitude of critic Kramer for refugee relief has always been famous. At the time of the uprising, Ugh, his odds were roughly half. It's not strange, given the opportunity, to feel the pressure to stand up for half the future. ”

“Well, I think I've had enough. ”

“Enough. Why not? It's winter. You're here. ”

“ ……. ”

“Haven't you ever seen people who worry about you leaving? ”

Winter has nothing to say.

“He was strict with himself and others. In Las Vegas, at the Bellagio Hotel, he was whispering to his men drunk, watching them. How long will this little blacksmith endure these poor bastards...? There was no winter. ”

He was clearly drunk because he wrote the name "small commander." I realized something was wrong with winter.

“Drunk? Anne, were you drinking with any of our top men at the time? ”

“No way. I've always been, um, by the winter. ”

“Then?”

“I'm sorry, but there was surveillance for the investigation. ”

“Surveillance.... ”

“During this time of sensitivity, I am the commander of one of the platoon, who will enter D.C. with a steady motion. You know, in a situation where you're wary, wary, there's no way that there hasn't been a preliminary investigation. There was also a primary validation of the entire colony. Just like before you were sent to San Francisco, I had already known who you were, uh, to the level I needed. ”

It was a natural thing to hear. Credit for the winter and credit for the alpha squad are separate issues. The parties, the legions, may feel offended.

“For some reason, Captain Park didn't seem to like two of his platoon commanders very much. ”

At Anne's words, winter swallowed a sigh.

“I think I know who they are. ”

Lieutenant Seonwoo Joseph and Lieutenant Cheongmin. It is unfortunate that the reason why the two people came out of the true eye was also because they were concerned about the possibility of winter leaving. It was a moment when I was reminded that there were no coincidences in the world.

“Most people judge others based on themselves. There's no way to know what someone else's heart is. ”

Ann continues to moan.

“Worrying about you disappearing, in other words, means that they are not as satisfied as they are with themselves. They want to get away. From a refugee area that lacks everything. And from his own volatile position, and his worrying life every day. ”

“I understand roughly. I wouldn't do that if I were you. ”

“You can't do that, exactly." I told you, people like winter, it's never gonna happen again. It's normal not to understand. ”

“Isn't Anne treating me too well? ”

“No way. You are objectively and absurdly cool……. ”

The horses are cut off, and the winter creaks.

“Thank you.”

Anne was seared to the bottom of her slow hair. Winter liked the change in body temperature felt at the fingertips. The slight rise was the temperature of a lovely shyness. Ando seemed to be holding back his smile.

“Obviously."

Anne clears her throat.

“Obviously, whether it's the Winter Alliance or the 201 Independence, it's hard to stay the way it is without someone in the middle of winter. Especially after Kramer became president. ”

Another worry of winter. She spoke of Kramer's election as if it were true. Because it was worth it. His support rate, which has been investigated by media and polling agencies for the past few days, has been roughly 60 percent or more. I'm even climbing up there. Democrats are already in full swing.

“Lt. Park is convinced that he's made the right decision, looking at the atmosphere these days. ”

“ ……. ”

Winter looked at all the words Anne had told me. She was a forensic overseer with a profiler background, although she had a lead on personal assumptions. A story based on the findings of such a person would be right if it were an analysis.

Then, the truth was a lot of fear. He was so afraid, he was desperate to overcome it. Didn't confess to winter, either. I have nightmares every night. That's why you push yourself harder. And the people who are looking forward to winter are so pathetic.

“The decision is yours to make in winter. ”

Anne got lucky again.

“As long as I submit to disciplinary action beyond your discretion, it will not be accepted. Just because you decided not to deny torture, hoo, the authorities are embarrassed. ”

“I know. I don't want to make something for the rebels to hang on to, no matter how small an excuse. ”

“Yes. For governments and citizens, they must be absolute evil. ”

It meant that even if I punished him for something, he would have to deal with it within the power of winter. And it could never be a heavy punishment. I had no intention of disciplinary action in the winter. After hearing Anne's words, she became stronger.

“That's enough. Stop it."

Anne grabs the hand of winter, pulls it forward, kisses the back of her hand, and sets it free. Winter felt a shame.

“I'd like to do more. ”

“I'll get it next time. It was really nice, but that's all for today. Okay?”

Anne's mouth was hanging a small piece of happiness as she looked back and smiled.

“Any other concerns? ”

Winter shakes her head at her question.

“Nothing.”

It was Anne's break. Even though her basic mission was a winter escort, the hospital has been called frequently since becoming an eagle's nest. That's why winter was trying to wrap up this headache...

“Lies.”

Anne laughs again.

“I know you're worried about something I didn't tell you. ”

“…… how did you know? ”

“It hurt a little more when I mentioned Kramer. ”

It meant that my hands were empowered.

“Are you worried about him? ”

When asked, the hesitant winter nodded slowly.

“I can't say I'm not. ”

Anne smiles freshly.

“Kramer himself would be sad to hear that. You've been defending yourself since you got here. Don't get me wrong. I've been very generous to you since the rescue. If he was a woman or a homosexual, maybe I'd wake him up. ”

Bad joke. Winter is gone.

“I don't get it wrong. I'm not saying he's a bad guy. I found out he's a pretty decent guy. Because he was willing to fight to sacrifice himself. And yet, I'm worried. Ann knows why, right? ”

“I don't know why. His promise hasn't changed. When he enters the White House, the vast majority of refugees are more likely to face harsher survival competitions than they are right now. except in exceptional cases, like the Winter Alliance. You're not the only one who's okay with me. ”

He nods and brings out the long-standing concerns of winter.

“In fact, I once thought of him as the possibility of the end. still a little bit. ”

Anne was curious about the strong expression of winter.

“The possibility of the end.... It's poetic, but isn't it too poetic? At least he's not incompetent. I don't like him either, but I don't believe that there will be an end to the future of America that he leads. Tell me, why are you so vigilant? I don't think you should do this... Is there something I don't know? ”

It was a difficult question to answer. Anne is a resident of this world. Winter muttered to her insides.

‘Tell me how his beliefs feel like the way to the outside world. ’

Kramer regards all citizens as his allies. It's only natural that casualties come from war. It is important to act swiftly and decisively, and even if someone is unfair due to lack of discretion, they argue that mourning should be an inevitable loss. They argue that short-term injustice and inequality as a means should be redeemed by long-term definition and equality as a result. It was the content of the speech in front of the supporters. We need to focus on American victory and survival.

This belief is probably why Clarissa Chadwick is obsessed with his survival.

“I know he has his own good intentions. ”

Winter said in a hurry.

“But there is also a saying that the way to hell is packed in good faith. ”

“ ……. ”

“When I made the alliance, everyone lived like a human being, and the man became the successor of the will. I've seen too many people make me unhappy to be happy. in some way, what would be different from a mutation if a human were to eat a human? You can be like people, but not people. The world of such things... I hate it. ”

It was the whole story of life and death. Gravity is higher in lifetime. Audiences from the outside world proved that without limitation, they were not human. The winter experience is still valid.

“Good intentions don't always have good results. I think candidate Kramer's belief is that it's good for selfish people to take care of themselves. And even if his efforts lead to this country's ultimate victory in the Civil War, I'm worried that there will be other man-eating monsters out there. I won't be able to kill those monsters. ”

The static was not long.

“Winter, come here a minute. ”

Anne, who got up from her seat, grabbed the hand of winter and led it to the window. He then opened a blind space to reveal Washington's nightlife. At the center of the radial road, the circular square with the statue of the first president and surrounding India were filled with various crowds. Their pickets and banners were mostly for President McMillen and the cure of winter.

“See? That's how many people like you. ”

Anne laughed softly and said.

“I'm sure as a person who likes you more than anyone, they don't like you because they're just good at killing mutants. Without the courage to risk death, half of them would be gone, and without the commitment to others, the other half would be gone. I like not just your actions, but the virtuous spirit that drives them. In the middle of winter. ”

She intertwines her fingers in the hand of winter.

“Fortunately, we still live in a democracy. The president is obligated to listen to the voices of his people. That means that whoever becomes president will have to listen to them, too. The president himself is probably one of those who likes winter. There's no one in the world who doesn't like you. ”

So, the tone is the color of concern.

“Just in case, don't do anything rash. ”

“A rash act? ”

“It means you don't have to make people hate you. ”

“ ……. ”

“Citizens' support for Commander in the middle of winter will be most powerful when you are politically not in any faction. And Washington said, Virtue is the source of public politics. I believe winter is a virtue already in the hearts of many. The virtue of just being there has a positive impact. ”

The winter laughed bitterly.

“I didn't want to publicly disagree with Kramer. ”

“That's a relief. ”

“His popularity is a big part of what he gets. No matter how good I am, I'll be able to restore the old balance to the way it used to be. You can't take such an uncertain risk with vague anxiety. Still.”

“Still?”

“Thanks for the advice. That's comforting.It's a bit embarrassing, though. ”

I have a faint smile to say this.

Winter felt the urge to kiss her lips.

It's not the first time. In fact, this has been a more painful conflict than any other concern these days. It's getting harder and harder to bear. My heart palpitated as I looked down at the white neck, which was sensitive to blood while I was doing my eyebrows. If it weren't for the calm that remained like the inertia of the past, I would have crossed the line immediately.

There were two reasons why winter worked so hard.

First things first.

‘I'm not sure I can pull the brake once I cross the line. ’

He will, too, because Anne is his first love in winter. There was no immunity in such intense emotions. I didn't even anticipate that love as a relationship would be like this. So for a while, after crossing the line, it seemed like I didn't know anything other than Anne. I didn't think I'd be able to do anything. Given the time and desperation we've been waiting for, I'm sure Anne will, too. Given the city, it was inappropriate. even given the future of the world.

This was also related to the following reasons:

I was concerned about the eyes of the invisible audience.

The words "Andor Winter will not be able to brake" meant that she would eventually lie down in love. Even if I shared all the other afterlife, I didn't want to show the audience that much. Winter has been stripped off as a commodity in front of strangers. I didn't want to repeat the experience.

But to end sharing altogether, SALHAE's suicide is disturbing. The name Cheon Jong-hoon was deeply embedded in the brain.

“What do you think you're looking at me for? ”

The winter when Anne's shy words woke her up, but she was embarrassed and could not answer straight away.

Anne had a pleasant reaction to the winter.

“There is a phrase in the Little Prince: ”

“Yes?”

“Listen, I memorized it on purpose. This is what the fox says to the Little Prince. ”

“ ……. ”

Anne read in a calm voice.

“If I knew, for example, that you were coming at four o'clock in the afternoon, I would be happy from three o'clock. The closer your poem gets, the happier I'll be. Your poetry's gonna make you nervous because you're excited. ”

And laughed.

“Can you imagine why I'm telling you this? ”

“Well…. ”

“My time right now is somewhere between 3: 00 and 4: 00. ”

Of course, I wasn't talking about the real time. It wasn't until winter that I realized her intentions. Anne continued to speak in a dreamy tone.

“One thing's for sure, four o'clock will come and go one day. I used to be anxious that time might stop sleeping, but it's different now. I'm not scared or nervous anymore. All that's left is a sense of happiness that only grows over time. My fate is sealed. ”

She kisses the burning ball of winter.

“I know you, I know you. ”
