Day 3: "A Seed of Doubt"

Hari ke-3: "Benih Keraguan"

Scene:
The sun is setting over New-nesia, casting long shadows across the city’s towering buildings. Javi walks
through a quieter part of the city, trying to shake off the lingering thoughts from his encounter with
Abigaile and Gelia. He can’t stop thinking about them—their fear, their determination to survive. He
knows it won’t be long before the government catches up to them if they aren’t careful. His hand drifts
to his holstered gun, a weapon that has taken countless lives, yet somehow he couldn’t bring himself
to use it on them.

Adegan:
Matahari terbenam di atas New-nesia, menciptakan bayangan panjang di gedung-gedung tinggi kota. Javi
berjalan melalui bagian kota yang lebih sepi, mencoba menyingkirkan pikiran-pikiran yang masih tersisa dari
pertemuannya dengan Abigaile dan Gelia. Ia tidak bisa berhenti memikirkan mereka—ketakutan mereka, tekad
mereka untuk bertahan hidup. Ia tahu tidak akan lama lagi sebelum pemerintah menangkap mereka jika mereka
tidak berhati-hati. Tangannya beralih ke pistolnya yang tersarung, senjata yang telah merenggut banyak nyawa,
tetapi entah bagaimana ia tidak sanggup menggunakannya pada mereka.

As he passes by an abandoned marketplace, he spots Gelia sitting on the steps of an old building, her
eyes scanning the area nervously. Javi hesitates but then walks over to her. She stands as soon as she
notices him, her body tense with anxiety. Abigaile is nowhere to be seen.

Saat melewati pasar yang terbengkalai, ia melihat Gelia duduk di tangga sebuah bangunan tua, matanya
mengamati area itu dengan gugup. Javi ragu-ragu, tetapi kemudian berjalan menghampirinya. Gelia berdiri
begitu melihatnya, tubuhnya menegang karena cemas. Abigaile tidak terlihat di mana pun.

Gelia: (cautious)
"Why are you here? Did you change your mind?"

Gelia: (hati-hati)

"Kenapa kamu di sini? Kamu berubah pikiran?"
Javi: (shaking his head)
"No. I’m not here to arrest you. I... just needed to talk."

Javi: (menggelengkan kepala)
"Tidak. Aku di sini bukan untuk menangkapmu. Aku... hanya perlu bicara."

Gelia stares at him for a moment, her eyes still filled with distrust, but she nods and sits back down.
Javi sits beside her, both of them looking out at the quiet, empty street.
