Liprikonn : the night when the candles will be lit

“A month has passed since the victory over Vecna. We’ve been through so much, we’ve been through a lot. Is this really the beginning of a new path, or is this nightmare not over yet? I would really like to believe that it’s all over, but I can’t do it anymore… I can’t lie to myself that I don’t feel anything…” - Knock Knock! — a knock and a cheerful voice was heard outside Will’s window. Seeing the knocker, he broke into a tender smile — Mike was there! What a surprise! He put his notebook and pen aside. - Mike! — the guy shouted and ran to open the window, laughing. Only when this brown-eyed boy climbed into his room did Will notice the small box in his hands and glanced at it, then looked questioningly at Mike. - Oh, that’s… I wanted to show you something that’s there… Will looked at the guy in surprise and excitement. - What is this… a gift? — he asked enthusiastically. His heart trembled with excitement. Mike was a little confused: - Uh… Well, yes, — he looked kindly at his friend. — I… Well, it seemed to me that… What I gave you for your birthday was not the best gift for you…- he looked, looking away to the side, blushing slightly. Of course, he lied about the fact that it was supposedly a birthday present. In fact, there was more to it than just a gift. - Oh, — Will chuckled nervously. — You shouldn’t have bothered yourself so much about it! You are the most beautiful…- he smiled shyly, — your gift was wonderful, I really liked it! — at that moment he wanted to hug him very much and cry from such a touching act. The guy came closer to Wheeler and lightly put his hand on his shoulder. -Mike… — he was about to say something. - Mike!!! — then Nancy bursts into the room, having come to visit Jonathan. It seems that she was clearly dissatisfied with something. — I hope this is not your doing?! — Looking gloomily at her brother, she put her hands on her hips. - What are you talking about?! — Mike looked at her with confusion. - Let’s go, I’ll show you! Jonathan will show you! — She grabbed his hand and led him somewhere downstairs. On the first floor, everything seemed to be the same, only an angry Jonathan stood near the telephone: — Well, firstly, Nancy and I saw you climb out the window, and secondly, until you showed up, this didn’t happen, — looking sideways at the phone, he handed it to the guy; Mike noticed that the wire was torn off. — Put it to your ear! — Joe ordered. Wheeler looked in surprise at his sister’s boyfriend, but did not dare to disobey him and took the device in his hands, falling into a stupor from what he heard. -What do you hear? Interference? — asked Nancy. -Voice, — he said in fear. His answer shocked them both. - Oh — oh! Has it really started?! — Jonathan said excitedly and expressively, throwing his ribs up. - What kind of voice?! — the sister shouted worriedly. -He said: “The end of everything is coming. All you need is Lipriconn.” — Lipriconn…- Nancy said thoughtfully. — I think I heard something, and if it’s true, then… You can’t hesitate! — She looked decisively at Mike and John. - Wait, Nancy, let’s not rush, we need to figure everything out. I understand that we recently experienced something… truly strange, but we shouldn’t completely lose our minds and… There should be common sense in everything… - he said the last phrase somehow hesitantly. Nancy sighed heavily and said: - And he remained in our lives?! Common sense? — She said excitedly, looking at her boyfriend with regret. - Common sense? Maybe not! But the adventures remain! — Mike said with a bit of positivity in his voice. Nancy put her arm around his shoulder tenderly.
