They returned home with no conversation in the car.
Gaea himself did not mind Eryk had not spoken to him, he considered it good because Eryk thought about his words and Rainer earlier.
What Gaea was worried about was Lola, what facial expression should she put on when they accidentally cross paths at home?
Saddened? Flat? Disgusted?
Everything's bad, maybe Gaea just locked himself in the room until the night just came out.
Gaea smiled wickedly.
A brilliant idea, he could do that, then midnight could watch a movie that had not been completed by him earlier.
Gaea thinks you should take Alex? Remembering that they were watching together.
Perhaps among all the Enzo family, Alex is closest to him after Lola.
The car stops, Gaea immediately opens the door and exits running into the house, there fortunately there is no Lola, only Alexander and Alex inside.
"I'm home" Gaea greeted warmly in the middle of her run towards her room.
"Welcome back, babe—eh?" Alex who was about to say hello to Gaea's shock just passed him. "Be careful, babe!"
Gaea ran to her room, opened it, and locked it from the inside.
"Meong~"
Gaea smiled broadly, carrying the Star into her arms, she would not be lonely all day because of her pet cat.
***
Eryk took off his shirt, leaving only his pants, he laid his body on the mattress.
Gaea and Rainer's words flashed back through his mind.
Eryk was really touched by their care for him, maybe it was true that he had to bring someone with him, but who was the right fit?
His head started thinking about it.
Eryk closed his blue eyes slowly.

In Dreams
***
Eryk opened his eyes slowly, finding himself in an unfamiliar green meadow with no one but himself.
"Hello?" Eryk said, hoping that someone would answer unfortunately no one. He began to walk to find someone else. His blue eyes glanced there and there but there was only a vast expanse of green grass.
His legs began to fatigue until finally he fell on the grass with a hunting breath.
"Eryk."
Eryk immediately looked back, where the direction of the voice came from, not far from him, Gaea and Katherine stood side by side with their hands behind.
"Why are you here?" Eryk wondered, he tried to get up but his tired legs refused to obey his orders. "Come on, they're in front of you." he cheered himself on still trying to get up until he felt a pat on his shoulder.
"Eryk, Eryk."
Eryk's blue eyes widened to hear the cold voice.
Kervyn smiled broadly. "You're still a helpless man." he sneered.
"You talking to yourself?" Eryk returned the ketus, still trying again to move his legs; why is it so heavy?
Kervyn approaches Gaea and Katherine who are still unmoving. He stood behind them. "You're just Eryk's weak man."
"What are you doing!?" exciting Eryk.
As Kervyn's smile widened, he pulled out two pistols in his pocket. "You won't be able to save them both, like you couldn't save our father." he said coldly, and then he pointed two pistols at Gaea and Katherine's backs. "So, pick my pathetic sister. Love or loyalty?"
Eryk did not answer, with all his might he rose to force his feet to move—and he managed to stand up, just walk to where Gaea and Katherine, stop Kervyn.
Kervyn began to lose his temper. "So? Katherine or Gaea?" ask again, this time while pulling the trigger.
Eryk did not answer.
Who should he save? With legs like a paralytic like this.
Eryk tried to step up, which failed again.
Why are the steps so heavy!? It was fine!
"Hmph," Kervyn screeched. "Typical Eryk, don't want to vote huh? You hurt their hearts, you know?" he asked with a sad face for only a moment before changing his expression cold again. "I think you like them getting hurt, huh?"
Eryk's eyes widened. "Wait on! I'll choose—!"
Kervyn grinned, and pressed his pistol. "Say good bye..."

"Stop!" exclaim Eryk hard.
Silent...
Eryk looked around the room, never once did he feel happy to be in his bedroom, he stared blankly at the wall of his room.
"Dreams... ?" he muttered in his breath that was hunting.
The dream felt real.
Eryk woke up from his sleep, and turned on the air conditioner to stop so much sweat from his body.
Was the dream a sign?
Eryk exhaled, walking towards the window.
If true, taking Gaea to the party is fatal.
Normally he did not believe this, but brought Gaea there for what? It would only interfere with her concentration to look for Kervyn.
Eryk glanced at the light table for a moment, thinking should he do it?
Extra doesn't hurt, right?
Eryk approached his light table and opened the drawer underneath which contained a gun in it, took him out of the room, walked towards the room Gaea was in, he knocked on the door of the young woman's room.
Geck. Geck. Geck.
Eryk slightly kept his distance remembering Gaea kept a cat in his room.
Cklek.
Gaea opened the door complete with the Star in her arms.
Eryk's nose immediately itches. "Hatchy! Hatchy!"
Gaea did not think it was Eryk who knocked on her door, she immediately put the Star into her room and closed the door. "You're! At least make a sound when knocking so I don't have to bring a Star."
"Replace" said Eryk, pinning his nose so that the feathers of the Star did not enter.
"Huh?"
"Change your clothes, Gaea." Eryk repeated in a commanding tone this time.
Gaea who was tired of fighting, according to him, changed his clothes with his nightgown anyway he was planning to sleep until night. "Satisfied, Sir?" subtle satire.
Eryk who saw it, slowly lowered his hand from his nose, making sure he inhaled deeply, his reaction was no longer sneezing. "I want to give you this" he said, handing over the gun he had brought.
Gaea looked up at the gun in her hand again. "Why do I have to!?"
It wasn't clear this morning that he couldn't hold a gun?
"I didn't ask you to wear it straight away, I just wanted you to put it just in case" Eryk explained. "You'll be home as long as I'm not around, Gaea."
Gaea. So he wasn't elected, was he? Of course if the decisive Eryk would be small for him to be chosen, he should already know that.
Gaea is still hoping even though small.
"Did you decide who you went with?" ask Gaea sekalem maybe.
Eryk propped up his chin, thinking. "Between Alex and Rainer. I need Alex because he's the best at negotiating, and Rainer, you know for yourself what he's capable of."
Gaea nodded in understanding.
"Save it where you think it's safe, as long as I'm gone, you can practice with Ferdinand." Eryk explained before he stretched his muscles. "Well I want to soak in warm water, I need that once."
Gaea was stunned and realized Eryk was just wearing pants again.
Eryk did not lie when he said he likes not to wear clothes at home...
