Chapter 128 - 128: Bath

"Even if I do knoay for the boy to get out of the Pit, I still can't do it… Even for you, Charlotte The boy's mother… you see, wants him to stay there"

"Mother?"

Charlotte let out a slight huhter was interested in Van, she took it upon herself to research Van have soate him

"What kind of mother will do that to his own son?"

""

She sa her daughter-in-law took care of Edward even though he didn't even look hu, but even she herself, Charlotte, could be considered a better h she wanted to hold her son so much, she wasn't able to do so because she was afraid that she would hurt hi so that her son would feel loved

But Van'sthere was to know about his he had to do to survive, the tortures and pains that he had to endure just to get by in his daily life, how he got through it

His trials, his abuse-- she knew everything, even down to his father's history

But there was one thing that remained a total mystery to her, his ot froe

Her naeline The reports all said that the people can't really remember what she looked like It would have been fine if it was just one or two, or if they cos that they remembered from Van's mother were the same-- that she was tall and very beautiful, so in the sluhts were somewhat the same As if… their memories were erased

"!!!"

Memories… erased?

Charlotte quickly looked towards Headmaster Hans If there was one person in the whole country capable of altering and erasing memories like that… then it would be none other than hi from me, Hans?"

"Well," Hans leaned in closer towards Charlotte, even with Angela slightly blocking him froht rays of the sun that seeped froroup and ill tell you everything"

Back in the Pit, Van was currently looking around the center of the Encaood side, so to hi, the other Prisonersfor him for some reason Of course, they all went away as they saw Van, with his clothes still all bloodied up

"Did… I ?"

"Oh, you're still alive?"

Van alht as he suddenly saw Gil behind hiht tremble could be seen from them

"Why… didn't you wake roggy

"You see so well that ere afraid to wake you up, mister Gil"

"Jeez kid, just call me Gil," Gil stretched and cracked his neck, "Ack, I think I have been sleeping the whole day"

"You have"

Truth is, a whole day had already passed Gil completely missed the events that transpired yesterday, with the trade between the a new house

It would seem that the alcohol and all the stress that he accumulated on their first day here truly penetrated Gil's whole body

"Agh… I felt like I would still be sleeping if that lady didn't wake roaned as his head throbbed "She told ot a house now?"

"Yeah"

"What… happened while I was asleep? And everyone see at you differently as well"

"Nothing much, I just won this house from another Prisoner," Van said as he nonchalantly pointed his thuet it, anyway?" Gil shed a sigh of relief as he looked at the house, "Well, lucky for us thathave our own place to sleep"

"We?"

"T… that, you…" Gil could not help but stutter as he let out a nervous chuckle

"Just kidding"

His stutters then quickly becaain looked at the people that were clearly looking at theoing on here?"

With his training as a guard, all these eyes on hi him feel uncouard inside a prison

"Nothing really," Van shrugged his shoulders

He was telling the truth Aside fro eventful has happened The Prisoners kept to the an unexpected noru each other

The ones that were arguing were mostly disputes between the people under Grant and Rick But aside fro each other, there… really wasn't anything to see Van was expecting soe, but alas, no one died

Perhaps all the action were on the other side One of these days, when he has fully acclimated in the Pit, et a territory there Seeing as he had already embedded his name in the Encampment, maybe he could take so your uniforhts were then disrupted by Gil's words He then looked at his Acade to each other due to the dried up blood

Right… as he thinking He still had his friends which he gained in the Acades like that No matter how similar this place is to his previous ho to stink, Van"

"Really?" Van slightly scratched his head, only to find out that a chunk of his hair was already solidified by dried blood

"Speaking of which… where do people take a bath here?" Gil also started s afterward, "W… wait, what if there's no bath here!? What are we going to do!? I like taking care ofto the river?"
