0.8: How Long ? How Long Is The Isolation ?

NICHOLAS POV

Ugh, Akira. I can't believe she had enough strength to bring me to my knees. However, it was to be expected. She has had quite some time to build her strength & lead a pack. I wasn't trying to belittle her, but I did find her suspicious. There was something off about her...

I walked around for a while after we returned to the Founder' House. "ニコラス、話してもいいですか？" (Nicholas, can we talk ?) I stopped walking as I heard footsteps rush to be next to me. It was my mother. We walked in silence for a few moments before I broke it.

"Be honest, Mom. Why are you here ?" My mother smiled, but I could tell she was a bit sad. "I felt that you should hear the news from me, Nicholas..." I had a feeling I knew what she was going to say. Not that what was going to be said was anything to be excited about. "家に帰れません。 それはあなたが私に言う必要があることですよね？" (I can't come home. That is what you need to tell me, right ?)

My mother nodded sadly. I sighed as we continued to walk. "Isolation was decided. This would be the last time we talk for a while. Angry ?" I wasn't angry per se, but I was sad. "Is there a reason why they decided isolation was best ?" My mom pointed at my mark. What was it about this mark of the moon that put wolfbloods into a frenzy ?

"議論された唯一の選択肢です オオカミの血は、あなたの月の印が何を意味するのかを恐れています。" (Well, it is the only option that was discussed. Wolfbloods are terrified of what your mark of the moon means.) I sighed as we ended up back at the Founder' House. "How long ? How long is the isolation ?"

My mother didn't answer me. She just hugged me before making herself walk away. Just how long was this supposed isolation to last ? Where would I be isolated ?
