INVU

For Cherie, falling in love is like an option that takes you on a steep and beautiful journey. When logic and heart clash with each other, it creates an endless war within oneself.
It's okay if she has to exchange joy for unbearable pain. It is something she deserves for an intoxicating sensation of love.
"People say that love will give pain as deep as love that grows."
Cherie takes a sip of red wine in her tall glass. Her eyes stared at the moon who is sitting on her throne gracefully and charmingly.
Cherie smiles faintly, she is sure if the moon knows all the secrets of humans, both awake and asleep.
"Hei, the beautiful moon, can you tell me how the story of humans who love each other? I'm losing my mind due to emotional impulses that are too strong."
Yes, Cherie is indeed confused by her own decision. As a Ghoul who has been subservient to her ancestors, of course she feels restless. She probably deserves credit for her convincing performance in front of Zack. When she convinced Zack, she is actually trying to convince herself too.
Thankfully Zack is able to pick up on the positives. At least, she no longer has to see the uneasiness in Zack.
“Grim....” Cherie calls her beloved pet because she wants to go for a walk in the middle of the night.
It's already two AM. Actually, the security patrol has already passed her area, so she's going to leave the house for a while just to get some fresh air.
Cherie didn't need to feel the cold stinging her skin because Ghouls didn't really feel extreme temperatures, except for fire. They are very sensitive to fire. You could say that fire is what they need and they hated at the same time.
However, it looks like Cherie's trip in the middle of the night must be a little annoying. How come? Cherie must be a witness for a couple who are making out, to be more precise, they are in the process of proposing.
"Is he drunk? Why propose in the early hours of the morning like this?”
Cherie takes out her cigarette lighter and stick, she lean her body against the wall to see a pair of humans who are very happy when the proposal process take place. Cherie could faintly hear that today is the woman's birthday.
"So sweet, tsk." Cherie squeaks as an expression of her defeat and annoyance.
"Dang! I'm really jealous."
Sometimes, she often imagines what if and Zack are normal humans. They can definitely be together, make love, get married and have children like the drama she often watches.
"Hah~ It's so tiring but I don't want to ran away from the love that has blossom in my chest."
Cherie left the in love couple and continued on her way. She is looking around the city of Marivierra until she reached the place where humans lived. There is no prohibition for Ghouls to comes out of their territory and mingle with humans because if they injure humans, they will die. Ghouls has chips embedded under their necks, those chips can be blown up by the government at any time if they harm humans.
"I still love life. At least I have to live to see Zack tomorrow morning."
“Excuse me~ Are you a Ghoul?”
Cherie who has been looking at the fountain in the garden slightly flinched as her smell is spoiled by the smell of fresh blood from torn flesh.
“Good grief, what happened to you young man?”
Cherie rush to support the injured student. She also help find a taxi to take the young man to the nearest hospital.
"Thank you for helping me," said a young man who is still wearing the school uniform to Cherie when they are already in the taxi.
"It's my job, don't worry. Tell me what happened to you when you get better."
This is one of the benefits of having Ghouls in the city of Marvierra, they are also tasked with protecting citizens who need help in the event of a crime. The city of Marvierra is known to be very high in criminal cases and the sale of illegal organs. Not surprisingly, the government assigned the Ghouls to be a weapon to reduce criminal cases that occurred.
“My name is Brian, I'm looking for my little sister. However, I ended up getting run over by the thugs.”
Apparently Brian couldn't resist telling Cherie. He tells everything in detail without exception. Cherie will help Brian to solve this problem. Later, Cherie as an adult will report to the chairman to find a way out of this problem.
“CCTV record in Coex alley, you can see everything there. They are too stupid to realize the sophistication of technology.”
Cherie pat Brian on the shoulder lightly. “Good, at least you managed to avenge them with your own hands. The rest let me help you. By the way, have you interacted with the Ghouls a lot? You don't look too uncomfortable and afraid of me."
Although Ghouls often help humans in criminal cases, there are still some humans who are openly afraid and throw hatred at them. That is another reason why Cherie decide to go out at midnight because Marvierra is very quiet at that time. Moreover, with a high crime rate, humans would not dare to go out at night.
"You know what's the scariest thing in the world?" Brian suddenly asked with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Say!" said Cherie firmly.
Brian smirked with suddenly teary eyes.
"Human!!!"
"Not all of humans reap the sweet fruit of their lives. They are flesh-clad devils who are easily torn apart in Ghoul's eyes. However, in my eyes, they are like demons with angelic faces. Yes, indeed not all humans are evil, but all humans have an evil side. Only, some are able to control it, some are controlled by the evil side," said Brian again.
Cherie didn't budge, she tries to guess if Brian's life must be so hard that a child this young is able to carve words that pierced Cherie's heart.
“I envy you, Cherie.” Brian surprisingly talked about his thoughts to Cherie.
"What are you jealous of me for?"
Brian smiled bitterly, he told the truth again.
"I want to be like you so that every time I leave the house I don't have to be afraid of humans and so that I can tear apart those who have hurt me and my family."
At that time, Cherie realizes that every side of a living being has envy of what she sees.
“It seems we are envious of what we see, is this really how life goes? In that case, this life would be very tiring. ”
