“Found you!”
I found Theo in an abandoned building where no one came to visit anymore.
It was too difficult for me, not even knowing that such a place existed on the grounds of the nursery.
After much trouble, I found Theo and hurried to him.
“Hello!”
I greeted him with a soft voice, my hands clutching his. I must have a good first impression to match Iris’ cute face that looks like a doll.
“.......”
But Theo’s eyes were as cold as ice when he saw me.
“My name is Iris.”
But I expected this kind of reaction! Let’s take a look!
“Get off before you kill me.”
“...Ugh!”
I spun in the direction I had been running earlier.
‘This isn’t it….!’
In my head, I thought I should stop running right away, but my body wouldn’t listen.
‘What are you?’
‘Disappear before my eyes.’
‘Don’t bother me’
Mom, I’m scared…!
The day after I ran away from Theo’s presence in such an unnatural way, I mustered up the courage to creep in search of him again.
“Hmm, hmm!”
Last time, I ran away without realizing it, but this time is different. I was scared to find my mom because the future killer said he was going to kill her, but now that I thought about it, I didn't have one.
It means I had nothing to lose.
.....I don't mean anything strange.
Anyways, I decided to talk to him again. Try to do it as naturally as possible. Naturally!
I let go of the ball I was holding and rolled it in front of Theo.
Success!!
"Oh my gosh, the ball rolled this way?"
"......"
I quickly glanced at Theo and squatted in front of the ball. Turning his head at that, Theo and I met each other's gaze.
His red eyes were looking exactly at me.
'It's red'
But it didn't feel gross. On the contrary, I was fascinated by the intense colors.
"Uhh........Hello, nice to see you again?"
I greeted him as I picked up the ball. Luckily, he didn't swear at me this time. In fact, it was a response that bordered on dismissiveness, but even that was acceptable to me.
At least, it won't hurt me now.
"Theo, right? I think I said this yesterday, but I'm iris. Why don't you play ball with me?"
I said so and held out a pink ball. It's best to play with children, even if it's like this. We'll naturally become intimate, and we talk about things like this. Then it happens!!
Then then....
I froze while smiling
Theo, who had received the ball from me, relentlessly popped it with his hand.
'No, I don't think so. He's so scary!'
Theo, who had dumped the ball on the floor came closer to me. I held my breath and looked at him.
Beyond the dark hair that covered his face, a neat feature that would have been praised everywhere if it hadn't been called the symbol of the devil reached my nose.
And right next to my ear came his muffled voice.
"I'm not your spectacle. Shall I get all your guts out?"
"....."
It was so scary. The child in front of me didn't feel like a child at all. I just felt like he was going to kill me. Tears welled up in my eyes in fear.
Theo chuckled as he saw me fluttering in front of him. Then he lightly shoved my shoulders as if there was nothing more to see. As if it were a signal, I stepped back a little. The sound of shoes dragging on the floor disturbed the quiet air.
That was then. In the immediate vicinity, I heard several children laughing and talking.
