- Wasn't that a mission?, I whispered.

  - Well, I'm going, I'm tired, he breathed disgusted , before getting up and leaving us.

  The rest of the team did the same, and dispersed one after the other, except for one.

  - Boss, I don't expect much from you, but do your best. We won't be seeing a simulation, but a real mission.

  She patted me on the shoulder and left me in total darkness, literally, in the dark.

  I was confused, I am confused and it doesn't get better with time, I don't know anything about this world, why can't everything just be simple, 1+1=2, that's it.

  I couldn't fit in, I was constantly the problem even before I came here, if my team could at least consider me as a simple thing, that would be huge, just that

  - Are you gone? I whispered in the dark.

  Did I expect an answer? I don't think so, but I'm sure of one thing: I don't want to die.

  So I sneak out of our compartment, as if someone cares about my comings and goings, but hey,

  I followed the same path as the first time, finding myself a second time in front of the DAAS

  - Do you have the right? a voice whispered.

  - HA!, I jumped.

  - Sorry, murmured this stranger, appearing from I don't know where

  - No no, I was just surprised, that's all... No no... I mean... No no nothing, covering my mouth, panicking, I look like a culprit

  - So you are a “surprised emotion,” murmured the stranger, coming closer to me to examine me in every corner, detailing me with his dull blue eyes.

  - I'll go... I'll leave you... Goodbye, walking backwards, before rushing away from her and this place.

  She kept looking at me, without blinking, it was terrifying.

  A very beautiful woman, a rather simple build, slightly taller than me, she had almost silvery white hair but very smooth skin, piercing eyes and a smile stuck to her lips which gave her a mischievous look, she wore a jumpsuit that I had never seen here, white dotted with gold bands and translucent glasses which seemed to float above her nose.

  At least I managed to escape her.

  - What are you doing here, Alpha 1, the old man whispered.

  - I got lost, she said to him with a wry smile, you have some strange specimens, she breathed.

  - What specimen are you talking about, replies the old man, pretending to be ignorant.

  - No, nothing, let's go see why you started the selection early, she whispered.

  - Go here, pointing at a wall, and avoid getting lost this time, the old man whispered.

  Leading her near the wall, pressed into the void and opened a passage

  - And you ask me not to get lost, she breathed, a smile on her lips.

  - After me, said the old man.

  And he disappears behind this wall

  - HAAAAA!, you want me dead, I whispered, coming across a figure hidden in a corner, while I was still walking backwards

  - Shut your mouth, what are you doing here, Asmara whispered

  - I'll ask you the same question, I whispered with a falsely stern air.

  - "Get out of my way, it's none of your business, get out of my sight," she whispered, still half-hidden, half-crouching, observing the surroundings.

  We weren't far from the training room, I wondered what she could be doing crouching there, she didn't need to sneak out to train at night, did she, even if that's not what I was going to do, I assure you

  - What are you waiting for, standing there like a pike, get out of here, she whispered angrily, a hint of frustration in her voice.

  I immediately come and hide behind her, I really don't know why

  - What are you doing, idiot, get out, what are you doing behind me, she whispered furiously

  - I don't know, I panicked and... And And then I'm here, I whispered with difficulty

  - No joke, you're doing it on purpose, that's it, get out.

  - Why are you chasing me, what did I do?

  - You're useless, with you on my team I don't stand a chance, she yelled, turning around to face me

  - YOU ANNOY ME, IN ADDITION TO BEING USELESS, YOU ARE THE BOSS AND YOU ARE STUPID AND NAIVE, AND WORSE, A NORMAL GUY FROM THE “PIT”, she screamed even louder

  - I'm sorry, I whispered.

  - THAT'S ALL YOU GOT IN YOUR MOUTH, FUCKING, she pushed me out of her way and headed towards our compartment.

  I was there, still half crouching, I didn't know if I should follow her or just "get out", I'm that much of a problem for them, I thought I just had to leave the "pit" to live a happy and fulfilling life, damn, I'm such an idiot
