Description:
The city is completely buried underwater, but only Yu Narim knows about it, because only it sinking in the middle of a concrete street, only its lungs are filled with water. And only the kiss of a madman like herself can save her. Well, just like in fairy tales...
Prologue
Hey, did you hear that? - the sound from the naked concrete walls was echoing, crumbling with small transparent crystals on the floor.
- What?" said a low voice that echoed just as much.
In the middle of a huge room full of blue water from the bottom to the top, a guy was lying on a cold tiled floor looking into an infinitely high ceiling. So infinite, it seemed as if the air bubbles they were releasing upwards would never encounter obstacles in their way, and the trajectory of their rise would go far beyond infinity.
- They tell me I'm crazy.
There was a girl sitting next to the guy with her hair dyed bright green. With her head waved from side to side, she watched the emerald strands fly off fantastically, slowly falling down.
- You are not the crazy one. They went mad," he said, smiling lightly and carefreely, inviting a dark chestnut bangs to his forehead.
- All at once?
- All at once.
The guy covered his eyes, finally taking his hands off his face, putting them behind his head. The girl leaned back sharply and slowly began to fall on her back. The body fell down on the floor next to the interlocutor, throwing up a wave of dust on the tile. Green hair fell asleep, beautifully melted around his head.
- One by one, they go crazy..." she sighed hard.
- They're all crazy. All of them," he smiled. - You were one of them, too. Except you woke up, and they were still sick.
The guy opened his big brown eyes again. The long, thin fingers caught the bright air bubbles, bewitchingly shimmering in the thin lanes of sunshine sipping through the fabric of dense white curtains that guard the wide windows.
- And how do you understand that? - The girl turned over on her side, putting her palm under her cheek.
- What to understand? - the guy tilted his head in her direction, looking into the deep whirlpools of black eyes.
- Well, one of us was crazy. And it's either you and me or the whole world... So how do you know who?
- Look around you and you'll understand," the young man returned to his original position with his hands stretched out on both sides. - Isn't everything going on around you the answer to your question, who is really crazy?
- All people? - Again the sound of bare concrete walls echoed, crumbling with small transparent crystals on the floor.
- All to one.
***
- What? - A girl's eyes widened, frozen in horror. - No, again... Don't! TACHYON!
Chapter 1
It was supposed to be a wonderful day. It could have been a little bit better than the previous ones, to some extent. However, this story would not have been a story if something had not gone wrong on that day.
The university's corridors were filled with students from every possible classroom. The next couple was over, with some lucky ones lying in the direction of the house, and others, who were a little less fortunate, still had to sit and gnaw at the edge of science for the next two hours. Today, Yu Narim was part of those who were to return home.
A dense stream of cars created terrible traffic jams at rush hour, rammed the main road again, leaving the rest of the adjacent roads almost unattended. Here it is a paradox of this city, the whole life here runs along one main road, only coming out on which one can feel more likely in a big metropolis than in a rather modest size of a town consisting of one main road and five streets on each side. A city that you can run around in half an hour.
A large number of pedestrians were not famous for these places, as the population either traveled in their huge "iron cocoons", or ran away to the city a lot, more perspective. People were always eager to go to these crammed anthills, where the streets at any time of the day or night on the sidewalks would not be pushed through, and the air was full of exhaust gases so much that you don't know where to run and how to feed your lungs.
Narim loved this city precisely because it still had something to breathe. Did she need anything more from this place? It's just a place to live, to live as a human being.
The weather was good, and if it was cool in the morning, now it was safe to go outside in one T-shirt, which, in fact, was already practiced in the city.
Bright midday sun burned naked skin, playing with golden rays on a fiery red mop of straight hair falling on the shoulders. The girl hurriedly walked along the sidewalk along the black forged fence of her native school, moving her feet towards the house.
