The only thing got into my mind when I got into HUNGER Gakuen is to search for Lunaria. I don't care about Eriil dan Kyou's warning that asked me not to get near Lunaria for a moment.

What did actually happen?

Ereea even had dissapeared when I was woken up this morning. He's the only one who want to tell me the truth! Kyou and Eriil never want to say anything to me!

Unluckily, the bell rung when I put my things in my locker in front of the class. So I couldn't go to Lunaria's class to ask about what happen yesterday.

And even in the breaktime, she's not in her clas! Uuuhh...

"Are you searching for something, Avarette?" Arian asked, "you seem so fidgety."

I hesitated for a while. I know that Lunaria wasn't really liked by everyone. And everybody said that Freizt Rastascha Arian, one of my classmates, loves to be in her own imagination, and always be in it. Rarely socialize with anyone.
I wonder if she know Lunaria or not.

"Umm... I'm searching for Lunaria," finally I told her who I am searching for.
"Lunaria?" Arian seemed so confused. Hmm... As I thought, she don't know who Lunaria is.
But then, she asked, "do you mean you're searching for Akira Lunaria?"

Wew, I just realized... I don't know Lunaria's full name.

"Umm... Akira... Lunaria?" I asked her back.
"Yup, Akira Lunaria, the tomboyish girl in the 11th - J class, right?"
"Ah, 11th - J? Yes, she is," I nodded enthustiasticly.

Arian smiled nicely, "I bet you don't  know her full name, do you?" I laughed a bit, "yeah. Hehe..."
"Yah, it's not strange. Not much people know her full name. Akira Saikami en-Stella Lunaria."

"Eh? en-Stella? What is an 'en'?"
"Yeah, do you remember what it means? You still haven't recover your memory, have you?
"Umm, I don't remember about that. But I feel that isn't a good thing to have."
"Yeah, it is."

Arian took a deep breath, and started speaking, "'en' is something given to a 'forgiven family' from the emperor. It's given when the Emperor judge that the family have commited a heavy sin, even though they're not. And it's also given to a family that the Emperor think they're cursed, a bad omen, and something like that," her face seemed so sad, "I really feel sorry for them. I really feel pity for them."

Arian's almost crying, she continue talking, "I hate Emperor Vanadyne Luquior! He's the one giving Akira's family the title 'en'! That title always make the bearer alone, avoided by the others."
Arian rubbed her eyes, shedding her tears, then smiled and speak like usual again, "that's why she never been in the class when the breaktime come. She loves to be alone, with her own loneliness, the same as me. Ehehe..."

"I'm sorry, but do you know where she is, Arian?"
"Just call me Freizt," she smiled, "but I'm sorry, Avarette, I don't know where Akira is."
She said like that, but I felt that actually she knew where Lunaria is. Then she asked to go and walked to the canteen after waving her hand to me.
I saw her walking alone, but I could hardly see someone next to her.

And I wondered,
Alone...
They're like to be alone?
Why?

"Is it that fun to be alone?" I asked Freizt after running as fast as I can toward her. She really walked so fast!

She startled a bit, "why do you ask that?"
"Because I want to know, is it that fun to be alone?"
Freizt smiled again, with the smile that held pain, "yah... It just like that.... I don't promise you'll know it one day. But when we are alone, we can think much more calmly. No one will disturb us."

Slowly she grabbed my hand, and then...

"ALRIGHT!! Let's forget this serious things and have a lunch together!!" Arian dragged me to the canteen until the break time finished.


After the school finished, I went to Lunaria's class again.
There I saw her alone, cleaning her class. All alone.

"Hi," I greeted her.
She replied without seeing me, "what do you want? Why are you still here? Do you left something in here and afraid I'll steal it? Hell no. Or you wanna tease me again? Just leave me alone! I'll make up this me... Ah, lady Avarette, pardon my rudeness again, but why are you here?" She saw me with a dislike glare.

I started to talk, "umm... you have the task of cleaning your class today, Lunaria?"
She still staring at me, "yes, I am. So what with that? Don't say that you come here only to ask that...," she continue sweeping.
"No, I just want to ask, what happened yesterday? Why did my room..."
"IT'S NOT YOUR BUSSINESS!! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! I..."
"It's not polite saying that words loudly to Rein, Lunaria," suddenly Eriil said behind me.  Kyou also suddenly appeared sitting on the window behind Lunaria.

"Do you forget your promise yesterday, Lunaria?" Kyou said.
"I don't care," she continued sweeping, "It's not my problem, why the hell should I care? No, should I?!"
Eriil and Kyou changed their position, now Kyou's right behind my back, and Eriil's threating Lunaria, holding her neck, "Yes, you should," Lunaria fell down to the floor, it seemed like Lunaria can hardly breath, "It's our problem, and yours too," then Eriil moved his face closer to Lunaria, and whisper something to her. Lunaria tried to resist, but Eriil's as strong as Kyou, and Lunaria can't pushed him away that easily.

I shouted loudly, "STOP!!" And ran to Lunaria, pulled Eriil away from her, "don't be that rude! She's a girl, Eriil!"

Eriil and Kyou dazed, "but Rein, she's a..."
"I DON'T CARE! Whoever Lunaria is, she's still a girl! You boys, be polite!" I help Lunaria to stand up, took another broom in the corner of the class, and help her sweeping the class, "I'll go home alone again today, please go home first. Lunaria, I'll help you sweep on this part."

"But Rein..."
"Kyou, please... I want to talk about something with Lunaria."
"Erril, you go home first, I'll wait for Rein in here," Said Kyou, I stared at him, "ummm... Is that ok, Rein?"
"Ok," I nodded, but Lunaria seemed doesn't like it, "what do you think, Lunaria?"

"Just leave me alone! I don't wanna talk with anyone!!"

Everyone silent.
Even the sound of the clock can be heard clearly.

"Alright," I continue sweeping, "Eriil, you can stay here too if you want. I still want to finish sweeping this class."

Everyone silent, Ereea finally joined helping Lunaria by put the tables in the order, and so did Kyou, even Lunaria didn't want anyone to help her. And it's 03.25 p.m when we finished cleaning her class.

After finished cleaning the class, Lunaria prepared her bag and went away to the dormitory without saying a thing. While Kyou and Eriil walk me to the car, and went back home.

Uuhhh.... I still haven't asked anything to Lunaria yet!
And also, where's Ereea anyway?

Huaaaah...
Then I remembered about what did Freizt said this afternoon,

"Yah, it's not strange. Not much people know her full name. Akira Saikami en-Stella Lunaria."
"'en' is something given to a 'forgiven family' from the Emperor. It's given when the Emperor judge that the family have commited a heavy sin, even though they're not. And it's also given to a family that the emperor think they're cursed, a bad omen, and something like that,"
"I hate Emperor Vanadyne Luquior! He's the one giving Akira's family the title 'en'!"

So, Emperor Luquior thinks that Stella Lunaria family is a bad omen? A cursed family? Or a family that have commited a heavy sin?
Why?

"Rein, you haven't slept yet?" Kyou got into my room.
"Ah, no I haven't."
"It's almost 12 already, you need to have some rest. Your body haven't fully recovered yet, right?"
"Ah, yes, but..."
"Is there something bothering your mind?"
"Umm... Well, yeah," I hesitated a while, and Kyou's waiting for me saying it, "Lunaria's family name is, en-Stella Lunaria? With an 'en' title?" Kyou nodded, "Why?"

Kyou mutted, taking some deep breath, and said, "it's because, Emperor Luquior thinks that they are the main reason of..."

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"
What's this?!
What is this pain?!
It's hurt!
IT'S HURT!
My neck feels like it's burned!
My head aches so much!!
What happen!?

"ERIIL!"

I heard Kyou called Eriil and Eriil's came to my room, but I can't feel anything anymore after that. After I saw long ivory hair in the corner of my room.
Someone with long, ivory hair that covered one of his eyes who's saying words right before I fainted,

"You mustn't know it yet."
