Then Alfred was seen sitting silently, not knowing what to do, empty eyes. Alferd looks very young like he is only 20 years old, and the 48 year old doctor looking at Alferd waitting for his answer.

"It's....nothing. I think...im..just having a little nightmare, and it's really hard for me to sleep these days"said Alferd with his face looking tired.

Alferd arrived at the class that still empty because it still to early, Alferd put his backpack down and going outside with his bread and a book. He walk up stairs and sit on the roof eating the bread that he carried, then he open his book and start writing something in that book.

He start reading the book that he write again while eating the bread, after done then he start writing with the view of a mountain on his right side. The atmosphere is so cold so Alferd still using his jacket, then there is a janitor open the door to the roof seeing Alferd just sitting there.

"Eating bread again? Why not try make something else."said the janitor walking towards Alferd.

"...this is all i had"said Alferd while writing on his book.

"Are you sure thats all you had? I mean you still can catch a fish since there is a river close to your house you know."said the janitor sit infront of Alferd.

Alferd hand stop writing that he thinking about what the janitor said, then the janitor looking at Alferd book for a second and look away at the mountain and said.

"Still writing the same story? What a good spirit you have right there."said the janitor while looking at the mountain.

"You know...that the atmosphere here feels cold. Why don't you write at the class it feels warm there you know."said the janitor.

"...why not..i like staying here, not..because of the cold atmosphere. I like staying alone here even it feels scary for me."said Alferd while also looking a the mountain.

The Janitor that looking at the mountain just sigh and said.

"..Its seems life not going easy for you, well...im not gonna lie that it is feels better staying here."said the janitor.

"Mmh..you know i hate my job as a janitor but i also like it because i can found my peace in life, i don't have to be very successful in life even infront of everyone, as long as everything is enough then its enough."said the janitor while standing up.

Alferd look down on his book and thinking about what the janitor just said.

"Every people have different perspective, and so is with me. Life always change..every second, every decision..right now, or in the future..even in the past."said the janitor while looking at Alferd and start walking away.

"You see that mountain? It looks beautiful isnt it?..Thats the word that people would always said even until now..but for me the word of beautiful and beauty just feels different, it feels scary somehow..life is always change and its always getting worse. We may seeing the beauty in their face..that look so beautiful as the nature, but in the end it never last for long just like life."said the janitor while walking away towards the door.

Alferd looking at the janitor that just said that and look away at the mountain and said.

"It may feels scary..i also feel the same, but thats just how people these days even in the future is isnt it? They only care what they want not what they need...we suppose to protect not to destroy, people will always choose to change even they arleady break it. Just like how the break the rule for not killing each other...nothing will always stay forever and its hurt to know the truth..but what we can do is just feel the feeling of whatever happen and do our best to be kind person hope that it will change the way of life."said Alferd looking at the janitor that wait at the door.

Then the janitor just smile and walk inside going downstairs, while Alferd just sitting there with the time on his watch which shows the time 06.24.
