"Say mister…Do you think my mom will get in a better place"
"I’m sure she will!" Dong answered with a vibrant smile.
"By the way, I’m not Mister, my name’s Kim Dong Sik, you can call me Dong, but that just for you"
She looked at him and smiled "Stop lying Mister! I know that friend of yours call you Dong, I heard him"
"Ha-ha! Is that so, you caught me…Ah! I told you it not Mister, it’s D O N G, Dong!"
She burst in laugher, he looked at her with a relieved face, "she finally smiled" he thought.
"But Dong mister is your friend okay!"
Dong answered as he looked at Aiden direction "I think he is but why are you adding mister to my name" A smile on his face.

"Tell why do you try so much to be the good guy you aren’t…Aiden"
"Maybe your father was a role model for you after all! but you want to deny the truth, isn’t it?"
Aiden continued walking without giving much thought to the voice in his head
"So, you’re going to play like I don’t exist…Okay let see how much you can endure your impulses" After saying his thought Hadeon disappeared.
Aiden stopped and sighted with a dissatisfied expression "Are we still not there?" Dong asked form behind him, he turned around hiding his expression and answered:
"Yes, we’re almost there, just some meters away from it"
Finally, Dong thought and added: "But don’t you find it strange, we've been walking for a long time and we still haven't seen them"
Aiden checked around and said: "You’re right…it is, do you think that maybe they choose their victims or the time to kill?"
"I deducted the same thing…How about you Mia have you seen them when you were with your mom?" Dong asked Mia
"Do you mean the monsters…No we didn’t see them, mom told me to never open my eyes and to let my eyes shut no matter what happened"
"And I’m sure you did" he answered while patting her head, "she’s just a child, how sad she has to live without her mother" He thought
But Aiden stopped him from thinking too much "Don’t worry we’ll get our answers from those peoples inside the building"
Dong looks up, and see on the top of the building the sign "Serenity Hospital", and on the second floor a crowd of people can be seen with those infrared glasses.
__________________________
In just a few hours this place became deserted, you could feel death lurking around it. As they got on the second floor, they could see many emotions painted on those crowded corridors. Fear, pain and despair, but they couldn’t hide their hostility toward Aiden’s group.
As they walk further inside, A man in a firefighter suit approached them, brown hair and greenish eyes with a built telling how much reliable he was. He stopped in front of them, and with a rushing voice he said:
"I'm sorry that I can't welcome you in this kind of situation, you can see how much this place is crowded, I hope you can understand" And he added
"As you have noticed most of those people are scared and don’t want to step outside, but you'll be gladly welcome if you could help us gather some food and other necessities"
They didn’t need to hear what he said to understand the state of this place, Aiden and Dong thought for a moment and looked at each other, they gathered their thought and decide to help. They turned toward this man and state how much they want to help.
The man, delighted, shake hands with both man and says:
"I’m glad! I can’t describe how your help save us" As he squeezes their hands with contentment.
"Ah! excuse my manners, my name’s Blake, I try to oversee things even if most don’t agree with my ways"
Dong looked around and saw the distrust faces pointed toward Blake "I can see that"
"Anyway, let me show you around" He took the lead and Aiden’s group followed behind
"Your aid is really appreciated; most don’t want to help so there is only five of us who goes outside"
Surprised by the small number of participants Dong asked "How many people are inside this place?"
"67, but with you guys we’re at 70…but don’t worry we incited rules to those refuse to help"
"That the right thing to do in tis situation but still I think the number of participants is still really small for this large crowd" Dong said as he looked toward Aiden who’s silent since they walked into the hospital but he seemed immersed in his thoughts so he left him be.
As he walks down the corridors, Aiden could feel it, those emotions that make him true to his nature, contrary to this mask he wears, an illusion that lets him hide in society, the feel of being normal. but as he dives into this deep feeling, he feels someone’s stare that brings him back to reality.
He looks toward the direction it's coming from and there he sees, two figures, a man and a woman he never seen stare deep into his eyes, Aiden reply with a smile, but as he does that Mia squeeze his jacket, scared, she hides behind him.
Aiden kneels in front of her and looks her in the eye, with a look that tells her she can tell him anything. "Do you know these two?" He asks. With her eyes trembling, she answers
"It the friends of that man...The man who killed my mom"
