Egoist

...For more than 5 months, Puro diligently taught the non-Man knowledge, as this scientist said, the non-Man actually often ran away, for some reason he ran into the pool and even swam, despite the fact that the water was dangerous for him. It was more difficult for the Non-Man to gain knowledge than for Puro himself, so most often Puro simply read to him, and he remembered all the information and tried to retell what he had listened to, thank God, everything was fine with his speech and attempts to speak. The Inhuman had excellent talent in Drawing, better than Puro, which made Puro jealous of him. His first book seemed very difficult, but he managed to read it with grief. “Gingerbread!”, this is the first word the non-Man said in his first book, over time Puro began to call him that as a new name. At the moment, “Gingerbread” is having a hard time reading books. From time to time, when Gingerbread was not with Puro, Dr.K asked Puro how the infected person was training, he wrote all this down in his notebook... ... Today, Puro offered to write Gingerbread an essay with a “Good” or “Bad” ending at his discretion . Surprisingly, Gingerbread had excellent calligraphy, which Puro envied him... This is what Gingerbread managed to write. “... Suddenly, the heavens opened above the heads of two living beings! And the white and holy lutch fell to the ground, cutting one of them into pieces. Making the bloody lake boil with suffering! While the first creature was consumed by pain and suffering, the other did not waste a chance and ran towards the burning debris... and when he ran, he saw past memories. He saw how his mother cried over his loss, He saw how his eldest brother, because of a quarrel with his parents, left once and for all without even saying goodbye to him. He saw his brother stealing his mother's money for entertainment and food... He heard how his brother and his mother quarreled every night, not letting him sleep, and at night thinking that he was the cause of all this... and blaming himself for everything... Every night he he felt pain in his stomach from hunger... Every night he saw a “shadow” of himself on his brother’s bed, which wanted the brother to die. Rising a step above the burning rubble, he felt how every second bad thoughts, sadness, fear, grief, depression, anger, rage, and so on disappeared from his body... and the faster he walked, the lighter he became, as if he were elevated. He saw his little companion Jerry, alive and well. He felt like his mother and brother were together again and happy. He felt his mother kissing his forehead, after each reading of a book, he felt warmth and knew that Mom would always come for him. He saw his own birth... and the faces of his parents filled with joy and optimism... and then he saw nothing .” … … Puro: Are you sure this is how you want to finish your essay, Gingerbread? Gingerbread: Ya! :3 Puro: You are writing this story, and it shouldn’t end like this. Gingerbread: Well.. I think... that’s how it ended... Another personality burned out in the light, and he was relieved from all this suffering. Puro: Hmm... okay... I think you did well. He put his paw on the top of his head and stroked it. Gingerbread is happy. Puro: well, you can go for a walk. Gingerbread: Okay ^^ Gingerbread got up from the floor and went for a walk around the laboratory. Puro: ... ... I took the essay and hid it in one of the folders. Already page 10... in each of the pages you can see how his mistakes disappear. But there are still more of them than I have... I looked at the empty library Puro: It’s been like 5 months... I’ve been living with Gingerbread... Even though he acted instinctively for 2 months, I was able to get into his brain the fact that he needs to become smart ... although... for 5 months he was the last person in this laboratory... ... Puro: but... he and I are alive... Puro: And his stupid plan for freedom did not kill us... Suddenly the voice of Doctor Dr.K: stupid? Puro was scared... but immediately breathed a sigh of relief... Puro: Yes, stupid! Although I believed him that we would get free... But I didn’t want to... Dr.K: I didn’t want to??? Are you out of your mind Failed?? Puro: what? I mean? Dr.K: Damn it, he could show you the whole world! And you are sitting in your library with some Gingerbread dough, you yourself understand that you have lost your dream. Puro: no? Dr.K: Do you even remember her? Or have you begun to degrade? Puro: What?! No! It never happened in life and never will. Dr.K: Well, do you understand what you lost? Puro: ... yes... Dr.K: ... ... ... end of connection - There was silence. Puro: ... lost a person due to the fact that he succumbed to his Egoism and the desire not to lose his home... Puro: ... But... I have my devoted friend who will not leave me... probably now he is walking somewhere or annoying the dark latex ones with his behavior ... I took my half-read book and continued reading. … … … An hour and a half later... Puro was no longer in his place, he was sleeping in the ventilation. At the same time, Gingerbread returned. Gingerbread: Purrroooo, where are you~ >:3 Looks for him with her eyes. An unexpected voice from the speakers on the wall. Dr.K: Your Puro is sleeping. Gingerbread jumped up from the unexpected and deep voice and hid behind a tree.. ... Dr.K: You were so scared... Is it really that my voice is so frightening... Gingerbread: Who are you?? And Where are you?? Dr.K: ...“God”... in the lower floors of this complex, the complex that you call the House. Gingerbread: God?! Can you fly?! Dr.K: no, unfortunately, but I’m watching you everywhere, now you’re hiding behind a tree from my voice and talking to me while your elder is sleeping. Dr.K: I’ve always wanted to ask you a question. Gingerbread: What kind of god? Dr.K: Do you know what your past was? Do you remember what happened to you? Do you know at least something about your past self? Gingerbread: I don’t remember exactly what happened to me... but I remember that one day I woke up in Puro’s ventilation and he called me... ... and he cried with happiness, I didn’t understand why. … … … Dr.K: I see.. Dr.K: as I saw, you like to swim in the shark pool? Right? Gingerbread: Ya! :3 Dr.K: that’s what it looks like. The conversation ends abruptly... Gingerbread: Tell me about yourself, God. … … Gingerbread: Tell me? ... Gingerbread: Why are you silent? Hey! I'm bored alone.. :< … … …No one answered you. Gingerbread: Ehh... Coming out of the tree, he climbed into the ventilation and goes to Puro’s room. … … … Having made his way, he sees Puro sleeping with a book. Gingerbread took it in his hands and reads its title. “Economics” You don’t know what Economics is, so you put this book back on Puro’s sleeping body and lie down next to him to fall asleep… … … … … … Somewhere Dr.K is in his laboratory… He reads his notebook with everyone conversation with Puro... ... ... Dr.K: He told me a lot... how he doesn’t regret that he lost the humanity of the test subject... Dr.K: But... probably... there is still something left in the head of this latex child that gives echoes of the past ... who he was and what he wanted... Dr.K: ...It’s still too early for me to make risky decisions in front of these guys... I can ruin everything for myself... Dr.K: It’s better to make risky decisions in hot spots... when Puro and Gingerbread will begin to Conflict for the first time in their lives... Dr.K: Or... when Gingerbread goes into the pool again... I will lead him to his death... in his memory there should be at least something left from his death... for example.. Switched from the camera to library to the last room in the pool area... He looks around the room and sees torn shorts. Dr.K: maybe... these shorts will remind him of the past... Dr.K: but... I think it’s too early for him to tell that he’s just consumed by the selfishness of a Failed Model... Dr.K: sooner or later... he’ll start to suspect something that he’s not such as Puro... Dr.K takes his iced coffee and goes outside to look at the ruins at night. ... ... Dr.K: It was good once... lively areas... people rushing to work... Dr.K: and now... silence... although I still have food... it’s enough that I had enough for next 5 years in this building... but ... I think that sitting like Puro in one place is not a good idea. Dr.K: probably... in 50+ years, the city will return to its former state and... technology... He looked back into the main hall. ... Dr.K: I think it’s time for me to leave the building... and look for survivors... Dr.K: Sitting in your cozy apartment for 5 years is not profitable... ...there is still food and water, but you need to train your legs, otherwise they will atrophy.. ... Having seen enough to the moon... he turned around and went into his laboratory... Dr.K: I'm going to go to sleep... ... and hopes for something new. Dr.K. went to bed... good night to him...
