Zack repeats to read some parts of the novel. The love story of a pair of Ghoul who died because they loved each other. He is so curious about the continuation of the story, actually he is also curious about where the corpses of the two Ghouls come from.
“Shit, this is just fiction. Why do I think this is a true story?”
Zack put the Red Sunset novel in his cupboard, he has to go to work right now. There are many prisoners to be executed, he is obliged to arrange all their schedules first. Before they die, there are several things that must be done and confirmed such as debt and insurance issues.
All of this must be completed before the execution date is set.
"I heard you read Red Sunset."
Lylac, she is a woman who has lylac color eyes. Her mother gives a very beautiful name for the woman. She is not a Ghoul, but an office administrator. She does not work in a factory infested with Ghouls. That's why Zack is confused as to why this woman came to the factory.
"What is it? It's dangerous in here, Lylac."
"I have a good book for you, I'm sure you will be willing to give your dinner rations for me."
"Our food is not the same, Ly."
“I mean, I want a steak. Tonight, I'm lonely and need a friend for dinner."
"Why should I do it?"
Lylac put a book called Red Winter on the table. Zack could not guess, he thought it is just a normal novel before...
"This is the sequel to the Red Sunset story."

Cherie runs towards the forest, her feet hurt a little from not wearing shoes. She could no longer hold herself back from getting an answer.
“Cherie! Stop it. You're running too fast. I'm tired."
Cherie starts to stop and control her breathing again. She left with La Luna at eleven o'clock at night when Lucy is already asleep. Yes, they keep this a secret from anyone but Lucy. They don't want to make people suspicious. Morever, this is indeed forbidden by the people in that village.
"Where are you actually taking me, Cherie?"
“You said you want to test your blue light, didn't you? Let's see how the blue light works."
"Where?"
Cherie pointed towards the cave close to the waterfall. A place that is always cold throughout the year, including during the summer. The place that had been a question in her mind all this time. What kind of ghouls are actually hiding in there? Why does the rancid smell there resemble the smell of living Ghoul blood?
The rancid blood of a dead Ghoul would reek of stench. Meanwhile, the scent of Ghoul blood that is still alive is fishy, ​​fresh and sweet.
"Are you crazy? That's a dangerous place! Last time there is a herd of deer looking for drinking water there and they all froze to death. It's cold in there, Cherie. Don't you feel it?"
"That's the reason why you have to go there, La Luna. We have to see what's hiding there."
“Ghoul… Are you curious about that?”
“Of course,” Cherie said loudly. He was too excited to go there right now.
“Oh, I forgot what you come here for, Cherie. Then, let's go over there."
Cherie wants to slap La Luna on the head because she is upset. How could she have forgotten the purpose of Cherie coming all the way from Marvierra to this place?
"Put on my jacket, you're going to be very cold."
Even though he is annoyed with La Luna, he still gave his jacket to the woman. This place is really cold. La Luna's body started to emit a blue glow as her nose bleed.
"Oh, my nose is bleeding because it's so cold."
"Look at that light on your body."
La Luna's nose then stop bleeding, her body felt warm again because of the blue light.
“My body is warm again. Do you want to hug me?”
Cherie helps La Luna to climb the big rocks. They has arrived in the middle of the very cold river.
“I am a Ghoul, what do you expect?”
"Oh, I forgot. You're not cold."
"But, it's okay. You're warm, I love holding your hand."
The cave is covered by large rocks, there is no light at all. Luckily, the blue light on La Luna's body became their light. The light is what makes them able to enter the interior of the cave.
“Wow, why is it getting warm in here. Do you feel it?”
“Yes, even the walls are warm.”
Cherie entere the cave while looking around. That's a cave bag full of ice, no wonders he just felt a few drops of water fall on her head.
"This is very strange. Why is there ice in the cave? Even though the walls are very warm, I get goosebumps,” said La Luna.
"Keep feeling scared so the blue light doesn't go away."
Although she is a little annoyed by it, but Cherie is right. She must be afraid to keep the blue light out of her body because the blue light will only appear if he is feeling scared or in a dangerous situation.
"It's fine here. Actually, where are the Ghouls? Hey, Cherie. You're good at fighting, right? What if that pair of Ghouls attack us? I can't fight."
Cherie stops her steps, she look at La Luna.
"Is that why I brought you here!"
"What?! You want to sacrifice me to become Ghoul food? No! Then I'll just go home!"
Brak!!!!
Cherie and La Luna are surprised by the sound. It is a lump of ice that fell from the top of Goa. Luckily they are able to avoid the ice ruins. Otherwise, their heads might get crushed.
"You are okay?" asked Cherie.
"Yeah, I isn't hurt."
“Your blue light is getting brighter. You're really scared. Wait here, I' will be back. It's too dangerous inside."
"No! Do not leave me alone. As you said earlier, I am here to be a protector.”
Cherie does not say anything, she grabbed La Luna's hand and walked towards the deeper cave. The warm air is felt more and more as they enter the Cave.
"Husshhh!!!"
Cherie chase away all the bats covering a wall. The wall is very strange because it kept leaking water.
"I need to make the fire on."
Cherie pulls out her cigarette lighter and burned a roll of paper. She throw the roll of paper at the wall and...
"Holly shit! What's that?"
In front of them is currently a lump of ice that contained two pairs of red Ghouls. They come from the eternal ice that is put into a lump of ice filled with Ghouls.
"What's this?"
Cherie got her legs go weak. Is this the punishment of a pair of Ghouls who love each other? Burned forever in the eternal fire?
"They died? Say something Cherie?”
The blue light on La Luna's body grew brighter because the woman is getting more and more scared. Cherie is still silent. She does not say anything at the moment he just focused on the pair of Ghouls trapped inside the ice lump that contained the eternal flame.
“What is immortal makes a shattered body whole again. It's like hell's hottest fire, tearing the body apart but able to make the body whole again."
Cherie's explanation made La Luna understand what Cherie is feeling right now. The woman must have been very shocked by what she saw.
“Cherry...”
“Is loving someone a sin?”
...
“Do you want to eat meat? Although this is not human flesh, it is venison. My mother bought it this afternoon. You need to eat, Cherie.”
"Thank you, La Luna, but I'm fine."
They have gone home and arrived home. La Luna could not say anything to Cherie. She tries to make her feel comfortable.
“Can a hug make you feel better? You said my arms were very warm."
Cherie smile a little, then they hugged each other on the bed. Cherie's tears rolled down her cheeks because she felt so sad about what she saw earlier. La Luna still hugging her until Cherie get her sadness begin to improve.
“Then, what next? Will you still love Zack? I know you guys must be trying to find a way out. I'm not asking you to stop, but… Good luck.”
"Thank you, La Luna."
Cherie closed her eyes, they hugged again and fell asleep. In her dream Cherie is crying again and she is muttering.
"A delicious sin, I will still enjoy it even if I have to swallow hell of fire."
There is only one thing she is worried about right now, how long could they hide this relationship?
