Chapter 1034: SIDE STORY (NERA): CAGED
Nera stared at the window, she hummed a song, while staring at the blue sky from the windowsill, she was sitting at.
She was an eight years old little girl, who spent her life in this huge room that had become her entire world.
She was not allowed to go outside and only a handful of people that was allowed to talk with her, but Rei would be a constant person, who would always come to see her. He would come with a lot of things, toys and pretty dresses.
Nera liked it when he came to see her, because it meant, she had someone to play with. She also loved to listen to his story about when he traveled outside. She learned about a few things through him.
"Rei?" Nera turned around when she heard someone opened the door and her eyes lit up when she saw it was Rei, she rushed toward him and hugged him.
"How are you, little one?" Rei asked, he carried the little girl in his arms. "You got heavier," he teased and Nera giggled. "Here I bring something for you."
"Candy!" Nera was excited when Rei gave her the candies.
Rei then put her down on the sofa and gave her more of the candies.
"Where have you been? You have been away for two days," Nera said, chewing on her candy. "Did you go to travel the world again?"
"Yes." Rei caressed her cheeks and ruffled her hair.
"Is there a story for me?"
