Chapter 5 - Chapter 2: What’s Happening to Alice

From Alice's Perspective: Alice: Where am I? This... oh, right, that damn old caravan! Wait, who changed my clothes? Damn bastard! Aeron, where are you?

The door of the caravan suddenly opened, and Aeron walked in.

Aeron: Hey, Alice, are you okay?

Alice: Am I okay? Huh? Are you seriously asking me that right now?

Suddenly, Alice jumped up and started hitting Aeron. Aeron couldn't figure out what was happening, but he wasn't going to take any more of Alice's blows. He grabbed her wrists and pushed her against the wall, facing him. Anyone who saw them from the outside would have thought they were a romantic couple. Let's listen to them for a moment…

From Aeron's Perspective: Alice was screaming nonstop.

Aeron: Alice, calm down. You came here yesterday, and then you suddenly started crying, you had a fever and fainted. I put you to bed.

Alice: (in a restrained tone) So, you took advantage of the situation, huh?

Aeron: Hey, Alice, do you think I'm such a bastard in your eyes?

Alice: Well, how are you going to explain my clothes?

Hearing the noise from outside, Amanda nervously stepped into the caravan.

Amanda: Alice, uh, I changed your clothes, she said. At that point, Alice, who had calmed down a little, was released by Aeron, and he said, "I'm going outside for a bit, we'll talk once you calm down." He grabbed his axe and walked out of the caravan, heading toward the forest.

Alice: You changed them? Got it… I misunderstood. (She had misunderstood and felt guilty. This was the first time she felt these emotions. In fact, almost all emotions were new to her. It wasn't that she didn't know emotions, she just never showed them to anyone. This was the first time she was crying, yelling, and expressing her concerns in front of others. She was dazed.)

Amanda: Yes, Alice. Yesterday, Aeron called me on the radio, told me to bring fever reducers and clothes, said you weren't feeling well and that I should get here as soon as possible. He also told me not to tell anyone that you were sick. Alice, Aeron was really worried about you. He didn't have bad intentions.

Alice: I know, Amanda, I was wrong. I lashed out at Aeron.

Amanda: I understand you, anyone would have freaked out. 😂

Alice and Amanda chuckled for a bit.

Amanda: By the way, Alice, there's something I want to ask you, uh, well…

Alice: I'm listening, Amanda, don't hesitate, please.

Amanda: Yesterday, you kept mentioning someone named Lowell. Who is he?

Alice: Lowell?

Amanda: Yes, Alice. You kept saying "Lowell, Lowell, don't go. Lowell," over and over.

Alice: Ahahaha, did I really say that? I don't know, Amanda.

Amanda: Is he a loved one or an actor?

Alice: Eeh, I guess Amanda, maybe, but I don't remember, I said.

From Alice's Perspective: After Amanda gave her some medicine, she said, "Rest a little," and left the caravan. I told her I didn't know Lowell, and that he was an actor, just to brush Amanda off. Lowell... He's the one who brought me to this point, that heartless jerk, the one who shattered my dreams, ruined me, and made me lose the ones I loved. After all these years, he still found a way to remind me of himself. Of course, forgetting him wasn't an option. He was nothing but a scumbag who took everything from me and left me completely alone in this world. In fact, all I wanted was to find him before the outbreak and watch him die painfully. His death would be at my hands...
