He Did It

Asty unlocks the door to the basement and shifted her head at the back to look at her brother Othello. His eyes were fixated on the basement door as he remembered the time when Lana prevented him from going inside.

"Brother..." she called out to him to get him out of his trance. "Are you okay?"

He nodded at her. "I am. Is this it?" he pretended as if it was his first time seeing the path to the basement.

Othello had remembered everything about the basement. He had grown and lived in the castle ruins during his entire teenage years.

"You told me before that there was a passage in this place that you did not recall the entrance would be. This is the passage you're talking about."

He nodded at her. "Have you been going in here alone?"

Asty lowered her head, Othello heaved a sigh. "Next time do not go in these kinds of places without me, do you understand?"
