The next day, the situation at my colonist''s house was safe without the arrival of the Bluehuds again. It''s a shame indeed. Their horses wouldn''te back, even though I''ve been thinking about making a cart that the animal can pull. Manu had learned to make simple wheels from Congraylham. It just so happened that there was a broken cart there.


    Activities in my colony are running normally as usual. Seb takes care of the crops'' field, Manu turns to cut down trees to build a cage because they don''t need a stable anymore, Gwen and Kat go to get things from the escape pod, while Sun stays in the house.


    Sun sat down with Rex. I did leave the dog at home on purpose. Who knows Sun needs friends while the others are doing their own things.


    "Have you ever lost a loved one, Rex?" The woman continued to stroke Rex''s head which was in herp. "Were you as sad as I was when it happened?"


    Ah, but it looks like that won''t be enough. I came out and found Seb lying in the grass instead of continuing to grow crops.


    "Get up your ass and have a chat with Sun inside." I gave the order to the blonde-haired man.


    Seb straightened up, yawning widely. It took a few seconds for him to finally get up and enter the house.


    "Hey, how are you?" Seb shed a big smile, then sat down next to Sun.


    Sun smiled back, though her face looked tired and pale. "It''s okay. Thank you for asking."


    "Ah, what''s on your mind, Sun?"


    Before Sun replied to that, I whispered into her ear. "He is already a member of your family here. You are free to say what is bothering you. So just spill it all out, Sun."


    The woman gulped and finally spoke again. "The thing is, I''m a terrible person."


    "How so?" Seb raised an eyebrow.


    "Carlos has protected me and saved me from the attacks of the giant birds." Sun''s hands began to shake. "Therefore, I only had this wound…. However, when he was surrounded by those birds, I couldn''t do anything…. My heart wanted to help him, but another feeling pushed me to run. I was scared and felt like I couldn''t do anything…. I''mpletely useless in a situation like that…."


    The woman wiped her tears that had begun to fall.


    Seb stared at the woman''s face for a moment, then took a deep breath. "The same thing happened to me when I just came to this ce. A group attacked us. Two of my pod friends managed to escape…. Well, they''re not really my friends, just people who happen to be in the same pod with me…. They don''t know me, but still help me…." The manughed bitterly. "And what did I do to them? I ran away when they were beaten."


    Sun looked at Seb with wide eyes. "Then, what do you do with that feeling of guilt?"


    "I can''t do anything, even though it happened months ago. That incident still haunts me." Seb shrugged. "I can only move on."


    ***


    Gwen quickened her pace when she finally reached the escape pod.


    "Finally, I can take my baby again." With a wide smile, Gwen pressed her hand to a screen near the cockpit door. After the screen turned blue, she opened the empty cockpit, while Kat opened another door beside it.


    Behind that door, Kat found orange cardboard-like boxes of various sizes, white food boxes, and two boxes with red plus-sign handles.


    Ah, my colonists were so lucky to find all that.


    "Look, Kat." Gwen showed me another box with handles, ck and smaller than a medical box. She just took that thing from the cockpit. "Hey, I can do your makeup with this cosmetic box!"


    Priorities.


    Kat, who had just retrieved the backpack from the escape pod storage, froze as she studied the box. However, not long after, she resumed her activities.


    Gwen pouted and shrugged. Then, she took another box which was dark green from the cockpit. The woman knelt down and opened the box. Her mouth curled into a faint smile while her hands lightly touched the various colored threads and sewing kits in there.


    "Oh, my baby." She breathed a sigh of relief.


    I crouched down beside the woman. "Why do you bring something like this, Gwen?"


    Honestly, I''m really interested in that thing. As for cosmetics, I can understand. After all, Gwen is a woman. However, if she brought something like this, it might mean a lot to her.


    Gwen just looked around, not answering my question. Looks like she can''t see me. So, I decided to give Kat an order to ask.


    "Why did you bring something like that?" Kat spoke without looking at her new partner. She was busy stuffing various things into the backpack.


    "Even though I''m an aspiring doctor, my real passion is to be a clothing designer." Gwen''s smile grew wider. "Well, I think the human body is already so beautiful, and it doesn''t really need clothes. Unfortunately, our society doesn''t think like that…. And our bodies can''t survive at a certain temperature. So, at least I want to make clothes that are also beautiful to cover their bodies, even though my work is nothingpared to God''s creations."


    Ummm…. That''s kinda twisted.


    "Well, but I was born as someone who…." Gwen stopped talking when she realized that Kat wasn''t paying attention to her. The amber-eyed girl stood up and looked the other way instead.


    It turned out that there was a brown animal in the distance, eating grass. Those are my colonists'' horses. Ah, my colonist got lucky again.


    "Perhaps there is food in this stockpile for him to eat? You can use it to lure him." I made a suggestion.


    Kat searched through the items from the escape pod. She checked thebels on the food boxes, then partially opened one of them, taking out the pieces of dried berries that were inside. And without saying anything, she came to the horse.


    "Good luck, girl," Gwen sighed.
