Welcome to my lost Jungle🪴


Chapter 4. Rattle toy
Door slammed shut. They left. Lincoln Young was angry, and after making sure they were far away and he couldn't hear their footsteps, he started opening windows throughout the apartment. He was a typical fourth-year programmer student who was very introverted and lived alone in apartment. His parents paid the rent, but Lincoln earned his own money for food and living expenses through his scholarship and part-time jobs. His first job was as a bartender's assistant at a club. There, for the first time, he dyed the ends of his hair purple and started wearing pink lenses, as he was slowly falling in love with anime and various models that he loved to watch live. He was fired when a drug-related case was discovered among the staff. Fortunately, the guy was not harmed, but he was emotionally affected by the situation and as a result, he decided to try something new that same month. Lincoln Young started managing his social media accounts with cute and simple photos. After gaining a small audience, he started hosting live streams, and Linn's cute appearance made her popular among many people! (She/He) Because of this, his photos became more explicit, and later he started selling them. He started selling his "ecchi" character photos. He started dyeing her hair blue, which turned out to be a shade of blue due to a certain girl who also hosted live streams! After earning money, the boy spent it buying her lewd photos! Her alias was Glory, with long, blue, shiny hair, one eye slightly more pink and the other purple, and her cute ponytail was often featured in her photos! She was so beautiful! Linn bought all the posters of her. He left them all over the room. All of his drawers in the table in the main room were completely filled with napkins! Many people liked the cute image of the boy in good lighting, so he liked to fill his sofa with plush toys, a soft pink fluffy blanket, and cover his velvet body with colorful stickers, which added detail to the composition. Cute accessories, children's clothing, and women's clothing began to fill his closets. Lincoln parents travel a lot and his family is all human. She grew up with an older brother who used to manipulate him, so Lincoln seems to be less vulnerable to it. Their father has a typical appearance, with brown hair and eyes of any color. Their mother has light blue hair and light blue eyes with poor eyesight, as it is a congenital disease, there are regular blue eyes, and there are light-light blue eyes with poor eyesight from birth. Matthew's the older brother has light blue eyes and hair like their mother. Lincoln got his father's hair and mother's eyes... It happened that no one brought girls to the house, Linn understood that there were two genders and interacted with the opposite gender in a normal way. In general, communication with girls was rare. The boys' mother was very shy and quiet, and because she was the only girl in the family, who treated like a princess, the boys grew up with a sense of respect for girls, I mean they are know that the girls are fragile and cute. (Not everyone ofc) Perhaps this is why he tried to treat Kasye with respect, and the boy's puberty manifested itself in such way... Although his apartment only has two very small rooms (it may be a one-room apartment with one room divided in half, or a two-room apartment that doesn't quite qualify as such), it is always clean, well-ventilated and bright. The apartment has a very good renovation, with white or light silver colors dominating the interior. It is quite clean and cozy for a single person.The next morning, the guy woke up to early because of knocks on the door. Pretending that no one was in the apartment, he decided to ignore a person who was knocking, and the knocking stopped. In the evening, as he was hanging up posters, there were more knocks on the door, causing one of the posters to fall over. He was afraid to go outside for the next week. He was afraid of paparazzi. He was afraid of his naked photos being leaked to the public. His mother was too kind, and his brother was too boring to know how their brother earned his living. Perhaps this is why he has so few friends and in general, he is sensitive to deep and long-lasting interactions with people.On an ordinary day, 2-3 months after Peachy girl visited his apartment, his relatives arrived completely unexpected for Linn. Opening the door, a tall and thin guy with blue cropped hair and thin glasses entered the apartment.Mt-hi! As I can see, you're not happy to see usLn-brother? Mathew? Are you here to visit or... What's this suitcase!?An innocent, fragile woman with delicate blue hair wheeled the suitcase over the threshold. Before Lincoln could even think about what to do with it, his brother was already assessing the contents of refrigerator. Ln-MATTHEEW! You're in my apartment, like, right now!!Not appreciating the kitchen, Mathew decided to go into one of the rooms where Lincoln spends most of his time. Upon entering it, Linn immediately ran after and yelled for him to come out, but the latter was contemplating the posters with a thoughtful expression.Mt-have you found a girlfriend? He asked his younger brother.Ln-get out of here!!!Mt-although judging by the posters..He continued his thought..then the younger one began to push him in the back to get out. Mt-so you're hiding something, aren't you? Not giving in to his brother's efforts, Mathew approached the bed and began to inspect it for hair. Mt-cleaned up well. So you're definitely hiding something. Even the bed is a double.Ln-you bought me this bed when I was taking my exams!After these words, his older brother started to walk towards the exit door, but suddenly mumbled:Mt-well well..Mathew opened the closet that was standing near the door. Clumps of clothes began to fall on him, as if they had been stuffed in a hurry and not folded. Women's things. Lincoln, who was watching this, froze in fear. Looking at his older brother's back as he removed a pair of women's panties from his head, he decided to say something before it was too late...Ln-l-okay! I have one here, she sometimes lives with me, studies in parallel classroom and everything else... Linn tried to hold himself back and look like he was confident in himself, because he knew how much brother liked to manipulate him psychologically. So he started lying so that Mathew wouldn't think she was gay or find out the truth...Ln-That's her closet, don't touch it! Everything-The family treats girls with respect, and this slime boy is even more so, so he apologized and even wanted to help put the fallen clothes back in place. Ln-Just don't tell mom...Mt-ok~ introduce us lateeeer~Ln-get out! As he was thinking about this situation, he didn't expect that lie will play into his hands. It also made his brother feel uncomfortable. He could always say that the couple had broken up later! His trembling voice added to the impression that he didn't want to talk about his "fake girlfriend." However, the posters were quite interesting. Linn's favorite was a selfie of a girl who also sells edgy content and near her boyfriend she took a selfie. And that boyfriend on a selfie poster is stuck with Lincoln's face right on top of the poster :DLetter..the letter. The only word that constantly flashed in the redhead's mind. And it all started with a simple thing. Kenji started skipping work, which caused his father to scold him. But no one had figured it out yet, or maybe they had, but they couldn't say anything. As an adult, he decided to try to understand what was going on in his mind. Living with constant thoughts and constant responsibility for someone else's life was unbearable, so he decided to write a letter to calm himself down. Of course, he was always short on time, so he started writing it instead of sleeping, with a can of energy drink that he couldn't resist."My life has become a tight web I have spine. Everything I think about is blood. Everything that happens to me is covered in red. I don't know what to do. I wonder how long this will go on, how long I will fcking live. I'm not expected anywhere, and I won't be expected after I die. I wonder if my body will be found in peace. I love looking at the stars. It's going to snow soon. I'm constantly overworked, and I don't care anymore. My end is near. Maybe there's something wrong with me, and why should I try for nothing? All the effort was in vain, nothing was worth this suffering. This is a road to nowhere. I can't look at my cut hands like I usually do. We all have to suffer, I'm trying to escape my heavy thoughts. You're all trying to change, which is why it hurts me so much to say that I'm stuck and that I've found peace in it. I always have something to say. I'll make sure everyone hates me. I've ruined everything, and now I have to take the final step. I thought I couldn't take it one day, I knew I'd kill myself soon, but I stayed here for at least five damn minutes. After that, I haven't felt anything for a long time, but my pain returned to me after this fool came into my life. What the hell is this whore? As I watched her sleep, I tried to rethink everything, and it felt like I was living a different life or a dream that never happened, but it was so familiar. What should I do with her? I feel disgusted. This bloody night will be for you. I hate everything around me, and I hate my own life. I want to know that someone died because of me. No one will remember anything when she dies."Kenji placed a rattle for kids next to the letter, which meant so much to him, reminding him of his mother. The boy doesn't remember much about his childhood. He was born as a little rooster in a full family, with a father and mother, in a nice house with good money. Unfortunately, his mother's pregnancy was unplanned, but since it happened, they decided to keep the baby. Perhaps this led to disagreements between his father and mother. His mother was very calm on the surface, but she took everything to heart. She was reserved and shy, and no one remembers her appearance. In the evenings, she always laid her child to bed alone, as her husband worked long hours and was often tired, so he didn't like to listen to their son's cries. As a result, the child was entirely in her mother's care, which was challenging for her. After less than a century of marriage, the girl decided to leave the house. His father recounted, how he returned home from work one day to find that all of his wife's belongings had suddenly disappeared. Frightened for his child, he immediately visited the nursery, and to his surprise, Kenji was still intact and clean in his crib. All the photo albums were half-empty, and the documents were covered in thick, dark ink. It was a long time ago, and there were no electronic records, so it was impossible to see even the name and surname. The passport was lost on the same day, and Kenedric(Kenji's father) didn't pay much attention to it. He just went to get the documents reissued. Over time, he forgot the name and appearance of his wife, the son's mother. It was all part of a plan.Kenji definitely remembered that someone had taken care of him when he was a child, and he definitely remembers how his mother used to rock him to sleep and sing lullabies, using a rattle to soothe him. That's all he can remember about her. They still have the rattle, and they have some other things that hold memories of this young woman".***Kasye Peach was still lying where she had fallen. The cold was seeping into her limbs, and her mind was becoming increasingly preoccupied. Black shadows began to move around the dark room. It was difficult to look at them, either out of hunger or fear. One of the shadows seemed to have a single eye. Strangely, it was the only eye visible. The threshold and dream worlds were quite close to each other. The liminal space was also included in this eerie and strange list. "I'm so lonely...so cold. I wonder what the sky looks like right now. ... How's Leafy doing? It must be autumn/fall by now. She never got to visit me... Sometimes, I envy her. It's a heavy feeling. She has so many people who can help her in difficult situations, because she able to interact... Maybe I'm just unlucky? Although, I'm also kind, and I also... I also want to be loved. I would never hurt anyone, but why is everyone saying I'm crazy? My thoughts are tangled up in knots... It's so difficult. Why...Is there something wrong with me? To be honest, no matter what anyone tells me, I'll choose you. I even removed my combat weapon from the first person I met! I would never hurt anyone! But then why did you choose me?" With a dull ache in her heart, the girl began to sing in the empty room, which was creepy....Leafy Citrusss recently celebrated her coming of age! That's sad for her that she cannot use since now any jokes about her minor age.. Since childhood, she has been drawn to socializing. She has no siblings and is the only child in a family with full parents. As a child, she used to run around with a group of friends. Her favorite memory from that time was when her friends would come to her kitchen window with a small flower ledge and invite her to go outside. As she grew older, she became interested in traveling. One day, Leafy found a charged artifact belonging to the threshold world of Arcades, and by learning the details she was able to enter the lost jungle, where first encountered an elf.Welcome to the world of citrus fruits!

One day, she and her half-baked friend were eating sprats with a fork at a fast food restaurant. Already with another one on the carousel, lying on top of each other, she laughed loudly at the fact that he was breathing, and when the whole group of friends was gathered in the evening, they grilled a barbecue, pouring alcohol over it and had fun. An unexpected call woke the girl up too early, the call was from..a hospital..Leafy was still deeply worried about what she had done. She still really wanted to see Kasye. Maybe this call..will change everything?
