Chapter 8:The Space Between them

The world didn’t change.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eawfu4aIP

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdsZI1R4Iw

It… shifted.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlRRMiPSdi

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjbx3RalLY

One moment—

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6KoJ7MTFN

the room was filled with blinding light.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8VgLGX1bU

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJf0hf0mJx

The next—

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBNYMiAs0k

everything was silent again.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6y2ozfnxA

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFdgxlRr68

But different.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHYZFDcVC8

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJTM0hDMag

Liyana opened her eyes slowly.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4iIr5ETmG

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJn7hLbT4c

She wasn’t in the chamber anymore.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROgdFSn9tl

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NdqzYImxu

The space around her felt… unreal.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfCg4i7QaK

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzURdpAMPG

The walls weren’t solid.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipSNRSsqBX

They flickered.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdZF0FU48f

Like they weren’t fully there.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvnaPBRJ82

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67NEQTzvbb

“What is this place…?” she whispered.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJlRYq5W8u

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7bgbz1B0L

“The space between.”

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gzotwiHzs

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGumXTxD0nf

She turned.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8GH4uwvV1

The girl stood beside her.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO8RU2WNIg

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrOHSayue5

“Between what?” Liyana asked.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBzZbP5rMV

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcJaoggMi8

“The system… and what it tries to hide.”

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC61HeC5jA

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vDCComvwq

Liyana looked around.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LJ7Q7yr30

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60exyiNlay

Shadows moved along the edges.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0tknno8bw

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡignLLKOcXW

Not people.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyqYDvYpQA

Not exactly.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7oShqw1JR

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxf37iZZXJ

Memories.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9qJ4ryMiH

Fragments.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHOnt7OHlu

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXskJ3HauHs

Students.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfnOHqi1Ys

Voices.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ptaPCLOPR

Moments frozen in time.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxbGyw5JII

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmwxpumGWQ

“These are the ones who were erased,” the girl said softly.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkhWJVZkZ6

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdnAbeXlTq

Liyana’s chest tightened.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWEBx8Xj5E

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A4K3r5DUl

“They’re still here…” she whispered.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB3VKmAiOE

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ27jq3bQ44

“Not fully,” another voice replied.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIXfwJghEZ

“But enough.”

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24nYclxm1z

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiprKuF6pfN

The ground beneath them shimmered.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcJsyTRh2r

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7YfJAXxar

Like it couldn’t decide if it existed.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbv28qjKBI

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxiNmXdG5d

Liyana took a step—

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gzHtYEuMn

and the space reacted.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV5ZvIr5lO

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3zkAQAHCx

A ripple spread outward.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSy2wUOiBp

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVfx1pIdEJ

The others noticed.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPRMDwxwe3

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveveSDBWYM

“You feel it, don’t you?” the girl said.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mrssGGFgg

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nWjXH91QF

Liyana looked at her.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkGzh21mSK

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YEKYgPPDL

“Feel what?”

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC81GqoEFX0

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdLuqP00Ck

“The system.”

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAZahh0k3p

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zasv2QKt4

Silence.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE9MJI690O

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zqtTvJSCA

“It’s not just around us,” she continued.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnBIS13anc

“It’s connected to us.”

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDQq3TUIkY

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYlkBI8N1O

Liyana frowned.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVWWIeAlGa

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwUU7iGBhR

“I don’t understand.”

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwzLIB8z6U

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ377QwqMEAx

The girl stepped closer.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjHVz1YMQw

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BavaZgYN8

“That’s why you’re different.”

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWncAoqKiAx

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqHu976Lyx

A pause.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13GbMm3oqA

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySRtyiyaFX

“You’re not just outside the system…”

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9svotw1CRX

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7duXBIf3C

Her voice lowered.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OmP2ZnlLv

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvh5bJ2Uyo

“…you affect it.”

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwic9AU9j4S

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B8jlHCviF

Liyana’s heart skipped.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiHnWgBHJg

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTAYNFXthR

“That’s not possible.”

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIkPv3l1eA

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTyd8VD93l

“Then explain what happened to the Emblem,” the girl said.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg92rBhJdS

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aojbMRTL1

Liyana had no answer.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K0NRPCL7W

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaTiu4AvXU

Because deep down—

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuQAbOX7Dh

she knew it was true.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vPKsaVYxG

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xDLypYwxV

Suddenly—

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVhvcpJfcx

the space trembled.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgERVzVFodm

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7NOu93tRm

Harder than before.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6BxAgYGAK

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrjMxtctlE

A loud distortion echoed everywhere.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaSzM1ZFOT

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCJYMLabi8

“They’re trying to reach us,” someone said.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ceWa7qcSw

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7Vi1IZ5IE

The flickering walls began to stabilize.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2khne6bTF

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTbzHTybDL

Forcing themselves into solid form.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14Qn88b8Yn

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6W6q9gHBe

“They’re locking the system,” another voice warned.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugCnjICo1Z

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0PANNWbnR

The girl turned to Liyana.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53rDqetYrs

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXajmqtORu

“If they seal it completely—”

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiakdHtmahb

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE7ET5leM9

“We’ll be trapped,” Liyana finished.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrR6UxC15x

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xeue84Yxq

A nod.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoajMS7TJp

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyDH6xOP3z

“For good.”

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8fCCzwR0H

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvPbst9MtS

The tremors grew stronger.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNza2vTSjls

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfEARKoRel

The shadows around them began to fade.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcheeClK5aR

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSez0hKdHhn

The erased students—

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGEEglOcZy

disappearing again.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvbL3asx1w

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg024a4b1Et

“No…” Liyana whispered.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTbfoYfpMs

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8gTqFF3II

She stepped forward.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6DDNExgNM

Reached out.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CzjTBOouR

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvgQx7zTb4

“I won’t let this happen again.”

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVXHfRh7Vy

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysVqJWqbgW

The moment her hand touched the flickering wall—

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ9ym8uUKB

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEykhQPMJJT

Everything stopped.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpxBwhDF0c

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9HJQ7CeUW

Silence.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVutjLkSQ2C

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA96kDmZqz

Then—

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7AEeLixcd

a surge.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYzHseCDCf

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiwcFAFe6Z

The space exploded with light.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdFzvZoTyR

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpQJ7kPCI9

Not from outside.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvOkV4Fx8W

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbtgk4fhsv

From her.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq1NqS5ZHf

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pxLXiwLl1

The system reacted instantly.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMD4F5nAwK

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADz1ONkV8R

Alarms.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDYBTRxfb1

Errors.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQZ7FpMJPM

Distortions.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOgLsVqZIg

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUmmOiXo2o

“System instability detected.”

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkmZnzvLxS

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpPM60Hk2M

The voice broke.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7FZkgtWMj

Glitched.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWtf03lIp6

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSLJBCtLHS

The girl stared at Liyana.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXGnYXYYZE

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYM03lkZPA

Eyes wide.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BtZTbQ6q0

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwXwpzirm0

“You’re not just a flaw…” she whispered.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zbDA3jxgi

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsgmjCG1wO

“You’re the break.”

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKikFhBfk31

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxPnc98S8d

Liyana stood there—

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI00K789lH5

breathing hard.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE8cKtBCpr

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDM1MVJaii

The space around her bending.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1gK4XkUSe

Shifting.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpPFMJJqf9

Responding.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KsR423R6p

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJKoBjpGac

For the first time—

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6zuLgAQlH

the system wasn’t in control.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11ga9ac5Zb

---

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDsbWbNXSf

She was.76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0shzELrnCi
