Chapter 33

Redwald, Greta and Eusine were going on their way. They left Cerulean City just a while ago to find Bill on the next route. Redwald was excited for his training in the following days before challenging the gym leader to a battle. If everything goes according to the plan, Redwald would be one step closer to his goal of competing in the Pokémon League.

Greta was relatively depressed. When the group finds Bill and Eusine gets the information he seeks, he would leave the group in order to achieve his own goal. After all, their deal of travelling together was until finding Bill. Ever since she met Eusine when he rescued them in Viridian Forest, she had some feelings that she could not explain towards him. She could never say it out loud for several reasons. First of all, that was the first time she was feeling something like that, thus, she was shy about them even to confess herself. Second of all, she was afraid of being rejected or Eusine putting a distance between them after telling him about it. They had such a nice chemistry between each other that it would be a big shame for her to destroy it entirely. Despite of everything, the last thing she needed was to see Eusine leave. She was afraid that the lack of Eusine would take away her motivation on her journey.

Eusine was obviously somewhere else in his mind. He was walking along with the group, but there was no real connection between each other. Greta realized that Eusine was staring at a certain point while walking and saying nothing at all. That was unusual of him, but Greta could tell why. Whatever that is to be his goal, he was craving for that day for so long. Finally, he was about to do something very important for his goal.

They arrived near a bridge. A young boy was pretending to guard it. “Hold it!” The boy shouted out. “You can’t cross that bridge just like that.”

The voice brought Eusine to the real world. Redwald did not seem like he was taking the boy seriously. The boy was younger, more naïve and full of enthusiasms.

After a moment of shock, “What do you want?” Greta asked. She was not in the mood to deal with such childish energy. The boy was persistent, though. “You have to accept the challenge of the guard of this bridge and defeat him in order to pass it through.”

“And… you happen to be the guard that is supposed to be defeated?” Redwald said. It was true that he was underestimating the little boy. But the boy did not seem like he was fine with it.

“How dare you talk to him, me, like that?” He tried to sound like a warrior, but his thin voice did not help it sound any less funny. “This is a horrible insult by a group whose spokesperson is a lady!”

Greta suddenly got serious. “What is that supposed to mean? What is wrong with women representing a group?”

“This is weak!” The boy responded. “A woman can’t be a match with a man. Especially if the man is a guard.”

“This is unacceptable!” Greta responded. “This comes from a little boy! I will show you what a woman can do in a battle!”

“I won’t accept challenges from ladies.” The boy said. “My dad would always say that battling weak ones is for weak ones!”

Greta walked onto the boy. She grabbed his shirt and lifted the shirt higher. “Either you accept my challenge, or I’ll show you what I can do with my fists!”

Redwald walked closer to Greta to calm her down. “That’s enough, Greta. He is just a little boy. It won’t be worth taking him so seriously.” He thought Greta was overreacting for some reason. But the little boy stopped Redwald. “The guard Mike will be delighted to accept this challenge.” He said. “Be my guest if you want your ass get kicked so badly.”

Greta let go of his shirt. “That’s more like it.” She said.

“The Pokémon battle between the trainers Timmy from Cerulean City and Greta from Pallet Town will now begin.” Eusine said. He was standing in the middle of the two while the trainers were staring at each other. “Each may use one Pokémon. Once the Pokémon is unable to battle or the trainer withdraws, the battle is over. You may begin, now!”

Timmy reached his pocket and grabbed a Poké ball. “Come out, my boy!” He called out after he threw the ball. The ball fell on the ground and rolled. It opened up itself and a beam enlightened the field. A Pokémon that was brand new to Greta appeared. She scanned him through her Pokédex.

The entry startled Greta. Eusine felt it right away. “It refers to wild Mankey.” He comforted Greta, at least tried to. “This one is equal to a trained Pokémon.”

Timmy was not pleasant with a referee poking his nose into. “Aren’t you supposed to be silent and fair?” He interrupted. Greta realized she needed to think straight. Who could be a perfect match for Mankey?

Greta followed her inner voice and grabbed a Pokémon that was handed over by Professor Oak. She threw it toward Mankey. “Come out, Bulbasaur!” She yelled. The ball fell on the ground and popped up itself. The beams turned into the body of Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur was seemingly having a siesta. She pricked up her ears and shook her head. She made a sound of joy. “Bul-ba!”

Timmy wasted no time. “Karate Chop, go!” He yelled. Mankey quickly ran toward Bulbasaur and hit her with his hand. Bulbasaur fell the pain on her face so hard that she cried out and put her paws on her head. Greta worried about her.

“This Mankey is really fast…” Redwald responded. Eusine nodded. “Timmy must have trained for the speed in particular… It is not that common to see Mankey this fast.”

Greta had no intention of waiting for another attack. “Go with Razor Leaf!” She scowled. Bulbasaur rose her back and showed the bulb better. She cried out before she sent leaves to hit Mankey. The leaves were so sharp that they stuck on Mankey’s body before he got a chance to dodge them. Once the eight sharp leaves were sent and all of them except one hit Mankey, Mankey took his time to get rid of the leaves. He was still standing but due to the pain he carried, he was unable to move as fast as he would.

Timmy was persistent to win, after all. “Seismic Toss time!” He snapped. Greta was familiar with that move. She knew she could not take her chance and let Mankey perform the move. “Growl, Bulbasaur! Protect yourself!” She panted out. Bulbasaur opened her mouth big and created a wave of noise. The noise was supposed to be a barrier to protect her from a contact move. But Mankey was not a piece of cake. He ran through the waves and broke the barrier before he grabbed Bulbasaur from her stomach and jumped high.

For a brief second, everyone was lost in the moment. Mankey was elegantly climbing in the air with relatively heavy Bulbasaur on his arms. Once he reached to the top point, he wasted no second and threw Bulbasaur on the ground as hard as he was able to.

While Greta was busy being worried about her beloved Pokémon, Redwald was impressed by the nimble action of Mankey and Eusine simply appreciated.

Nearly right after, Greta found the sense and strength to issue a command. “On the four feet, Bulbasaur!” She snapped. But it was too late for the tardy princess. Bulbasaur met the ground by contacting through her neck and chin, followed by her forelegs and stomach before hindlegs.

“Bulbasaur…” Greta responded with a catch in her voice. “Can you stand up?” She was rather calm. Timmy and Mankey waited for a couple of seconds to see the reaction of Bulbasaur. If she couldn’t respond in any way, they would be declared as the winners. But it did not take too long before Bulbasaur mumbled some sounds while she pulled herself together and stood up.

“She has the spirit!” Redwald grinned. “Bulbasaur, you can do it! Go for broke!”

Greta found a courage within Redwald’s passion. “Grab him with Vine Whip!” She ordered. Bulbasaur let her vines come out and cover the opponent. Mankey did not have a chance to move. Timmy told Mankey to get rid of the vines and stand on the ground but Mankey was not strong enough to break them through.

“Throw him to tree!” Greta ordered. Bulbasaur lifted Mankey easily and threw him to a tree. Mankey tried to hold onto the branch but his balance was the issue. He fell on the ground and got dizzy. Greta knew that was her chance, so she took it as much as she could.

“Vine Whip, once more!” She yelled. Bulbasaur felt the thrill just as much. She cried out when she grabbed Mankey again before she threw Mankey to another direction. When Mankey hit the tree, he cried out before he fainted. When he almost rolled on the ground, he was unable to battle already.

“Mankey is no longer able to perform a battle.” Eusine got involved. “The winner is Greta from Pallet Town and her partner Bulbasaur in this case.”

Greta crowed simultaneously with Bulbasaur when the two ran toward each other to celebrate the victory. Greta grabbed Bulbasaur and lifted her higher as she stood up. “You’ve done it, Bulbasaur! I am proud of you!” She grinned.

“Be proud of both you.” Redwald interrupted. “You and Bulbasaur are doing just fine together.”

“I always knew it, but I never had a chance to experience it in person.” Greta chuckled. When they turned around, they saw Timmy and Mankey were already gone. There was no trace of them anymore.

“At least he will let us be now.” Redwald sighed.

“The battle made me so hungry.” Greta chuckled. “Can we take our time for some dinner?”

“You earn the best, Greta.” Eusine said. “Let’s find a free spot and I’ll cook for everyone.”

After Charmander set a fire for Eusine, he got himself busy with the dinner. Redwald was lying on the grasses and enjoying the day with him. Greta was polishing the Poké Balls she had. There was no voice talking, only the nature and stuff. The silence was broken when Redwald asked a question which brought a cold breeze tension for some.

“Why are you going to Route 25?”

Greta felt nervous because she knew Eusine hadn’t been revealing much of himself on purpose since they met. Greta attempted to ask personal questions once or twice, but she was entirely ignored by Eusine. She couldn’t predict how Eusine would react to this question.

Eusine, in the other hand, surprisingly responded friendly after a moment of cold silence. He turned his back with a smile that is for Greta very forced. “There is a scientist who lives on that road.” He said. “He built a cottage and moved in there.”

“Why do you want to see him, then?” Greta interrupted. “You probably have come a long way here. It is not hard to predict that you are not a local person in Kanto…” Even Greta could not believe her daring.

“Let me get it all from the beginning, then, will you?” Eusine said after he took a deep breath. Greta could bet 50 million Poké Dollars that it was not what Eusine wanted. But he likely felt he owed this explanation after all this time.

Redwald grabbed Charmander and walked closer to him. Greta stood where she was since she was already close enough. Eusine straightened up while braising.

“Bill was born in my region, Johto, not so far from Kanto. People have begun to recognize his name in my region after he started working in a big tech company. Because he invented the storage system that makes everything much, much easier for trainers. Before the storage system, the trainers would have to go and get checked if they carry more than 6 Pokémon at once. Within the system, the Poké Balls are synchronised with the electronical systems. Thus, once you catch more than 6 Pokémon, the last one will automatically be transferred to the storage.”

That was a brand-new information for Redwald and Greta. Greta, worriedly, asked what she had in her mind. “What happens to the Pokémon then? Where do they exactly go?”

“Wherever your storage system is assigned to.” Eusine said. “I assume yours are assigned to Professor Oak’s laboratory since he is in charge of you during your journey.”

“He never mentioned such thing.” Redwald responded. “Maybe he wanted us to figure it out on our own… I can’t tell.”

“Wouldn’t it be just very typical of Professor?” Eusine responded with a soft laugh. He poured the stew in another pot and brought some vegetables from his backpack. “He was in the media all the time. Literally the centre of attention. Having accomplished such big thing in so early age was nothing but a prize. He promoted in the company he worked for. Furthermore, he improved his invents. He created a machine to test the weather control. I can remember that they were tested, and something was accomplished. But then, there were no more news regarding the case, unless I have missed something.”

“One thing for sure, that kind of success couldn’t be left aside. Soon after, all the media was talking about the person who was very special for Bill… His partner. A guy named Jonathan who was working in the same company. Jonathan, just like Bill, was a successful programmer and an expert on technology. I remember reading a journalist’s interview with Bill before his marriage. He particularly mentioned a date on which they officially stated it.”

“’I was so nervous that day, because that was going to be our first date night.’ He says in the article. ‘If for some reason, I happen to make a bad impression, it would ruin our potential future. The same applies for him, as well. If he happened to be the one whom I didn’t expect, it would crush down all my dreams.’ When the journalist asks if Bill really fell in love with him, Bill giggled and said, ‘I knew he was something for me. I didn’t want to accept the possibility of us falling apart.’”

“How was the date, then?” Greta asked. She was genuinely interested. Eusine poured water in the pot and put it on the fire. “Let me remember…” He mumbled. It then sparked like a lightning in his eyes. “Of course.”

“Bill said, even choosing something on the menu was somehow complicated. He is lactose intolerant and choosing something that he was able to eat was very complex for him at the time being. He couldn’t focus on the menu, the food, or even Jonathan for a while.”

“Jonathan, in the other hand, was not much different.” Eusine said. “After all, he was having a date with a celebrity kind of person, who is in the centre of attention. He was overwhelmed by this fact for a long time. Thus, he would stress himself out when he was with Bill in person. Bill said, he even needed to convince himself that he was someone who could catch Bill’s attention, in a way or another. So, he felt really inadequate for Bill. Every time Bill struggled choosing something on the menu, Jonathan questioned himself if he chose the right restaurant to have a dinner. He felt guilty for not recognizing Bill’s eating habits.”

“It sounds like two shy people getting together.” Redwald said. “Everything is complicated but only because they made it so. Mostly in their heads.”

Bill cleaned his mouth after he swallowed the last slice of his dinner. Jonathan was already finished. The two smiled at each other for a moment. When the waitress interrupted them to ask for desserts, Bill said he wasn’t going to have anything. Jonathan nodded with a gentle smile. The two were ready to leave the restaurant, after all.

When they stepped outside, Bill took a deep breath with peace inside. He made it so obvious how relieved he was. Jonathan asked if he was alright. Bill nodded. “The air is so fresh, and the weather is just nice.” He said. “Do you want to walk for a while before we get in our cars?”

“Sure…” Jonathan responded. The two walked on the sidewalk of the road. They remained in silence for a while. Sometimes the cars that would pass on the street made the sound. More rarely, the people who passed through them.

Bill was surprised when he felt a touch on his hand. Jonathan, without an eye contact, held his hand. Bill turned his eyes on him. Jonathan was staring at the sky. He had a smile that Bill never saw on him. As much as he was brave and open, Jonathan was anxious at the same time. He was probably busy ignoring the possible unpleasant consequences of his action. Bill decided to take away all his thoughts. He put a sincere smile on Jonathan’s cheek.

Jonathan turned his head to Bill. The two were staring at each other in the eye. Suddenly, the two bonded their lips. They were touching each other, while their hands were clutching each other’s body parts. Jonathan was enjoying the hips, while Bill was busy with the back of his partner’s body.

The two heard a group of people coming through the sidewalk. They pushed each other to nearest alley which was only steps away from the two. They enjoyed their first and long kiss in the darkness of the alley, without being observed by anyone. When their lips finally disconnected, they said nothing. Bill held Jonathan’s hand, carried him along until his car and he drove to his place to enjoy the rest of the night as they pleased…

Bill and Jonathan’s relationship became so serious that they realised they wouldn’t want to live separately. It wouldn’t take too long before they organize a marriage. But it wouldn’t bring all good things at once. They found themselves on the edge of making a serious decision.

In the morning of the day in which Bill and Jonathan had a conversation with the CEO of the company, Bill came to his office without knowing anything and sat on his chair as usual. He took a moment to watch the view and enjoy how amazing the life was, for a brief second until his phone in his office ringed.

He reached to the phone and grabbed it before he drew it up to his ear. “Mr. Turing.”

The lady on the phone let Bill know that Mr. Auer would like to see him with Jonathan in his office immediately. Bill sensed that something bad was coming. He unpleasantly squeezed his teeth and looked at the view that he was enjoying seconds ago.

When he knocked Mr. Auer’s office and came in, he found him talking to Jonathan already. Jonathan was smiling and still had the positive vibes. Bill was sure that Mr. Auer was just not into the conversation yet. He remained serious and forced himself to speak. “You requested to see us, sir.” He said. Despite of Bill’s serious and cold atmosphere, Mr. Auer, with the same smile, asked Bill to have a sit. Bill did what Mr. Auer asked. Jonathan was confused.

“First of all, although I did in person, let me congratulate you two once again.” Mr. Auer said. “I can’t think of anyone else who fit you two individually better. I wish you all my best.”

“Thank you, sir.” Jonathan smiled. Bill remained just the same.

“Last night, I received a call from the board of directors.” Mr. Auer said. “According to the company policies, we do not have co-workers in personal affairs. Since both of you are very important people for our company, we tolerated this situation so far. Since you are getting married in a couple of months, the directors have decided and wanted me to deliver it to you…”

Jonathan straightened up. He was worried of what could be coming from Mr. Auer. Bill remained the same, but his heart beats were faster than ever. He wasn’t ready to face a problem while he was still in the happiness bubbles.

“Either one of you has to quit.” Mr. Auer spilled the beans. “I talked to them for more than two hours on the phone, but I couldn’t convince the majority. The decision is unalterable.”

The news hit the room like a cold bomb made of ice. Bill and Jonathan looked at each other for a while with no words being spoken. Mr. Auer kept saying things but neither of them were able to hear him out. The only truth that remained in minds was the fact that one of them would have to leave their career that they worked so hard for. Even bigger problem was, who was going to be the victim?

Bill and Jonathan took the day off to ease their minds and come up with the best idea. Bill drove his car to a mountain which the two wanted to see for a while. On their way, no one said a word. The conversation was going to happen eventually. But it came all of a sudden and Mr. Auer was expecting an answer within 24 hours.

Jonathan was the one to break the silence. “This is the most visited hotel in this area this year.” He sounded nervous. “It is great deal to find with such prices now.”

Bill remained silent. Jonathan didn’t speak a further word either until they arrived at the hotel. They checked in and got settled in a room. Jonathan changed his outfit and relaxed on the bed. Bill sat next to the fireplace and watched outside from the giant window. There were only the trees and some Pokémon.

Jonathan knew talking about irrelevant stuff was not going to be any helpful. He jumped straight into the subject. “Who is going to quit?” He asked. Bill knew the serious conversation time had come and pretending it was never going to happen wouldn’t work anymore.

“I don’t want to…” Bill said. “I have accomplished so much that I don’t want to leave at this point… There is still… more to come…”

Jonathan was not happy to hear what Bill said. “Do you mean what you’ve done is worth something, but mine is not? You can’t give up on where you are, but it is acceptable in my case?”

Bill then realized how he must had sounded. “No, baby…” He kept staring at outside. “That’s of course not what I meant.” He thought seconds to say what he had in his mind in a more proper way. “Actually, you are right… I have no right to ask you to quit your job claiming I am somehow better. I am sorry. If you don’t want to leave, you should not.”

“But, what about us?” Jonathan asked. “I don’t want us quit, either.”

“I think the two won’t work together. We have to make a choice now. Will we have each other but sacrifice our jobs, or vice versa?”

Jonathan grabbed a vine glass and hit it on the wall. The pieces of the glass fell on the floor when he screamed with no proper word coming out of his mouth. After a minute or so of silence, Jonathan stood up and walked towards the door. “Since no one says anything, I think the decision is settled. We should let Mr. Auer know that none of us is brave enough to give up on our jobs and rather give up on ourselves.”

As Jonathan put his hand on the door handle, Bill stood up and stopped him. “Wait, Jonathan.” He said. “I agree to quit if this is what it takes.”

Jonathan turned his back and looked at Bill. He was shocked, just like Bill who would never think of saying those things. “Are you… Are you sure? I don’t want you to do such thing if you aren’t really sure, Bill.”

“Seeing you walking outside of the door made me realise how devastating it is to face the fact that our dreams will collapse. I love my career and I aimed to go for it, but my priority is you now. You are worth all the sacrifice.”

Jonathan’s eyes brimmed with tears as the two walked towards each other until they met in the middle to hug each other. “Thank you, baby.” Jonathan said. “I promise, I won’t make you regret your decision. You and I… We are going to be so happy.”

“I don’t doubt, baby.” Bill said. “I don’t doubt even a little.”

Bill was in the balcony. He called Mr. Auer to let him know the final decision. It ringed not more than twice. Mr. Auer was quick to pick it up. “Mr. Turing.” He said. Before Bill got a chance to speak, Mr. Auer took the conversation over his control.

“I am glad you’ve made the right decision.” He said. “The board of directors wouldn’t want to let you go either. We are very happy to have you with us.”

Bill was speechless. He didn’t think how him calling Mr. Auer would look like. He assumed that he called to let him know that he was staying. For a brief second, Bill got caught in the moment of pride. He felt so flattered that he couldn’t let his ego be depressed. Instead, his ego came forward.

“Thank you, sir.” He said. “I will be very happy to work with you, as well. Always a pleasure.”

When he hung up the phone, Bill realised the dark clouds spinning on his head that he brought himself. There was a man inside waiting to hear something extremely not right. Bill knew that he couldn’t tell the truth. He couldn’t even explain what he had done. “For the sake of our relationship, I have to go with this.” He thought.

When he came inside, Jonathan held his hands with a sincere smile. “What did he say?” He asked. “Did he sound disappointed?”

“I think…” Bill tried to speak but no word had come out. He finally made his mind up. “I think they want to work with me. They told me to reconsider our decision.”

Bill felt the disappointment in Jonathan’s eyes. He let go of Bill’s hands. He was shaken with it. “Do you mean… They don’t want to work with me? They… But… How…”

Bill felt an eruption in his heart. If only he could tell the truth and let Jonathan know that no one had done such thing. But he couldn’t face the fact that he didn’t even tell the truth in the first place. “Our love is worth it” was what Bill kept repeating in his head. “You won’t regret this after 20 years from now.”

They checked out at night and Bill drove back home. Jonathan was silent since Bill said it. On the way, Jonathan only stared outside with dark look on his face. Bill spoke to him and said some things, but Jonathan was too far away. He didn’t even hear a word.

The next morning, when Bill changed his outfit for work and left the house, he felt the unignorably devastating feeling in his heart. Would he want to build a future based on a lie? How could he live with this pain in his heart for years? Could he deal with it?

When he drove to company and came in his office again, he couldn’t feel the relief even a little bit. He realised that what he did would hunt him down in the following years and never let him go for the rest of his life. He decided to call Mr. Auer and fix everything. Before he grabbed his phone, it began to ring.

Bill felt something bad about that call. He hesitated a second but grabbed it eventually. “Mr. Turing.” He said once he put the phone near his ear.

“I am leaving.” Those were the words coming through. Bill recognized the voice, but his mind attempted to ignore it. He wasn’t ready to face it.

“Wait, Jonathan… Is this about career choice? Because if this is the case, I am ready to quit. I am…”

Bill was interrupted by Jonathan. “No, you’re not.” He said. “I talked to Mr. Auer this morning. I know you lied. You lied to my face for your own selfishness. All night long, I couldn’t sleep a second thinking where I did wrong, so that the company decided to give up on me. You looked at my face, stared me in the eye and said nothing. You are not the one. I don’t want to build a future with you.”

Bill didn’t speak a word. Jonathan hung up. Bill listened to the beep sound for seconds until he began to cry. He put the phone down and cried. He cried for his mistakes that ruined a whole future. He cried for the things that he can’t undo. He cried for the fact that there was no one but himself to blame.

After the dinner, the sun set, and the route was left in darkness. Redwald, Greta and Eusine set a camping area and rested. Redwald was the one who fell asleep the fastest. Eusine had this itching feeling for the day coming before he faces Bill. All the time he had been travelling was going to pay off. He was going to talk about serious stuff that he had in his mind for so long.

Greta, in the other hand, couldn’t get rid of the bugging feeling. Bill had made mistakes and had to face them in a very brutal way. What about herself? The next day was going to be the last day with Eusine. Once he leaves, would Greta feel any better? Would she regret the things she never said while she could?

She found an unexplainable courage inside. She walked towards Eusine and found him still not sleeping. “What is it, Greta?” Eusine asked. Greta gently approached him. “Do you have a second? I want to talk.” She said. Eusine nodded and left his sleeping bag. They found a flat rock to sit on and talk. Only the light of moon was the source to see things. Greta was seeing Eusine’s face just fine.

“It is hard for me to absorb the fact that tomorrow will be our last day together.” Greta said. “It is hard. We are used to you quite a lot.”

Eusine smiled. “I know, Greta. I am used to you two, too. But look at the bright side, you are still improving as you have since we started off. I am sure you will achieve your goal in the end. No matter how long it takes.”

“It’s all thanks to you, Eusine.” Greta said. “If Red and I didn’t have you by our side, we wouldn’t be half where we are now. Stop being generous. You know that.”

Eusine put his hand on Greta’s shoulder and pulled toward himself. Greta’s heart was about to blow up.

“You’ve told us the story of Bill and what made him move in Kanto. But you didn’t tell anything how he is somehow related to you and your journey in Kanto.” Greta said. She couldn’t believe that she didn’t realize it until she actually said it.

“Some things better not be known, Greta.” Eusine responded. Both were staring at the darkness. “If I got to my case with Bill, it would take 4 times more to understand it. But if you are really curious, he has experiments and research about something that catches my attention. I have simple questions regarding the case.”

“I don’t want you go.” Greta came straight to the point. Eusine was shocked for a moment. Greta knew he wasn’t shocked because of what she said, but how she said it. She sounded unnecessarily too emotional that probably gave away the things she didn’t intend to. Eusine didn’t say anything. Furthermore, he pulled his arm back and put a distance between.

Greta felt horribly bad for saying it. That was what she was scared of the most. She forced herself to laugh. “Look at me being over dramatic again.” She tried to fix the image of the situation. “Red mentioned how hard it would be for us to survive without you. I took the bait and felt scared. Like, to death… But he was just trying to scare me, you know… I know but it is hard to be sure, after all this is my life.”

She looked in Eusine’s eyes. He somehow looked more relieved. But he kept the distance. Greta knew he was making Eusine somehow uncomfortable. “Let’s sleep now. You will need your energy tomorrow. Big day coming.” She forced herself to laugh once more which sounded likely fake and walked to her sleeping bag, leaving Eusine behind.
