A puzzled expression appeared on my face as I looked at the blue panel with these words in front of me.

Today will undoubtedly rank among the top ten days in which a 'lot' of expressions appeared on my expressionless face.

And, unlike me, who remained calm when the strange blue panel appeared in front of me, the girl beside me was the polar opposite, and I could tell by her expression and body language that we both saw the strange blue panel at the same time if it was blue in her own as well.

When the panel suddenly appeared in front of us, she was so scared and shocked that she let out a short yell of surprise and took a step backward, only to trip.

'Seriously, does she have to scream at every opportunity?' I was genuinely curious as to why she behaved this way because I couldn't understand how she felt.

Even though I was curious, I would have preferred to move alone because her ways and constant screams are completely unpleasant.

Despite these thoughts, I helped her up by raising her up when she extended her hand to me.

She thanked me and dusted her shorts before pointing up into the air and asked me a question.

"Can you see this?" she asked, pointing to the empty air as her body shook slightly.

Curious, I did not respond to her but instead asked a question of my own;

"What's the deal with you?" I questioned, pointing to her slightly trembling body.

She asked a question after realizing what I meant;

"Are you not terrified by everything that is going on?" I shook my head to indicate no in response to her question.

"Why?" she asked, with a curious expression on her face, as I noticed her shaking body had slightly calmed down as she went on;

"Are you not terrified by what is going on? Why were we in that transparent crystal in the first place? Why the hell have the surroundings changed to this extent, and why haven't we seen a person since exiting the crystal? Are you not concerned about your family, where they are now, and how they are doing?"

She said, her voice agitated at the end of her sentence.

I couldn't understand how she felt, but now that I think about it, I should be worried now, right?

'But it's not my fault I can't feel it,'. I thought as I answered her question.

"The feeling you call fear is something I honestly do not know or remember how it even feels," I said before pausing for a moment to consider how feeling fear might be the best thing that might happen in my life if I ever felt it.

"And it's not that I don't want to know what's going on or why it's going on. I'm dying to find out.

"Do you think I don't care about how my family is doing?" I said as I remembered my mother and sister's faces, and the girl replied, saying;

"I'm sorry," she said.

Curious as to why she would apologize, I asked her why, and she replied, saying;

"I apologize for my outburst," she continued;

"It was immature of me to speak in this situation if I didn't know how the other party was feeling, and your flat voice is very misleading," she said.

'I wonder what she'll think and what expression she'll make when she finds out I don't feel anything apart from caring about my family in the first place,' I thought as she cut me off.

"Anna, Annabella Dark," she said, introducing herself.

Looking at the hand she stretched towards me, I looked at her with an expressionless face as I replied and held her hand while saying;

"Ace, Ace blaze. It's a pleasure to meet you ".

After we introduced ourselves, Anna smiled and asked me the same question she had asked before, this time while pointing to the empty air, saying;

"Can you see it?" she asked.

Because of how she was acting, I had a suspicious thought that might be connected to this 'Primordial Chronicle' stuff in my head as I asked Anna a question;

"Is it a blue-colored hovering panel with words listing information about you and other strange things?" I questioned, and she nodded in agreement.

"Then you must have seen the first message that appeared at the start, something about 'Primordial Chronicles?" I inquired, and she responded with another nod.

"I'm not sure, but I believe this panel you see, or more accurately, the panel we can see but no one else apart from the person it 'belongs' to is the 'Primordial Chronicle,'" I said to her, to which she replied, this time without a nod.

"Are you saying that this panel in front of us is the 'Primordial Chronicles,' and that it is also related to or responsible for what is going on around us right now?" She inquired.

"I said I'm not sure, and I never said it was related to the strange things that are happening or have happened in our surroundings, but if I had to pin whatever is happening now on something, this 'Primordial Chronicles' would be my suspect," I said.

"Wow, I never thought of it at that level," she continued.

"You speak smarter than you appear." She said.

Though I could tell she didn't mean to insult me, I didn't care in the first place, and besides, I admit that I am smart because, due to my condition, I tried, studied, and learned a lot of things in an effort to feel emotions, but that was also futile.

But I didn't give up because it felt good to learn new things.

Since Anna interrupted me the last time, I was about to study the "Primordial Chronicle" properly this time.

I hadn't even made my decision when I heard a sound that I was pretty sure was loud enough to be heard by at least a thousand people, and strangely, it was so loud but didn't feel harsh to the ears.

I had no idea that this was the start of my sleepless nights.
