Reincarnation Family - I don't want to die!

Second step: Garden

16:34 pm

My eyes fluttered.

Something is shaking me.

What, or who is it it?

I heard a voice in my blurry consciousness.

"John. It's halfway five. Wake up." (?)

A hand shook my shoulders.

The voice distorted a bit, but that way of speaking..

"Alex?" (John)

My voice is still slightly cracked from being woken up.

I rubbed my eyes.

My vision cleared up.

I can see now.

"Yeah. Lucy already went home. She got called by her parents." (Alex)

I looked around.

Alex is behind me.

"You don't mind right?" (Alex)

Alex walked to my front.

Hm?

"What do you mean?" (John)

I ask him.

"For pushing you until here." (Alex)

He moved out of my vision.

Now that I think of it.

We're not in the previous place we stayed.

It would be considered a (I need name) then.

Right now, I'm in front of the building I'm staying in.

That's what he meant.

"Yeah I don't mind. I actually appreciate it right now." (John)

I expressed my thanks.

There's a curfew for new patients no longer than 2 weeks.

I stayed about ten days now.

I still have to go home by the rules.

Well, we have to.

All three of us are new patients after all.

The curfew is 1800 hours or 6 pm.

"Phew, that's great." (Alex)

Alex wiped the sweat of his forehead.

"Why?" (John)

I asked back.

"I thought. You would be angry or upset." (Alex)

He rubbed his head and smiled wryly.

"That you escorted me to my building? Heck no." (John)

I looked at him incredulously.

Why would I be upset for that?

"Well thanks." (Alex)

Alex sighed in relief.

"That's my line." (John)

I retorted.

Alex just smiled sheepishly in response.

The man himself is hopeless. Haah.

"Anyways I need to go. I still have to visit Lucy before coming home." (Alex)

Alex patted me on the shoulders before turning around to leave.

"Heh. Visit Lucy eh?" (John)

I pat on his hand, signalling a silent good luck.

"Haha, yeah. Just a friendly visit." (Alex)
