-----a few hours after Y/N explained the plan to escape the shelter-----

I sat on my usual space in the library- at the floor in front of the couch. Because why be a normal person and sit on the couch when you could confuse all those who pass by.

I flipped through the pages of my book and yawned, hearing a creak at the door. I didn't look up, knowing who it was from the footsteps that followed.

"Everyone's already started the preparations." Ray said as he flopped down on the couch.

I nodded. "That's good..." We sat in a crippling silence until Ray sighed exasperatedly.

"Sooo you going to tell me what's actually going on?" He asked, picking up his own book and flipping through it.

I stayed silent, my mind scanning through multiple different options. What could I say to him? I hate to admit it, but he's smart! What could I even say without him noticing the inconsistencies or notice that I'm lying?!

"...hullooo? You alive in there??"

I tugged on a strand of my hair as I continued in deep thought. 'Tell him I can see the future?? It's an option, and he may believe me... but then there'd be inconsistencies- like why I wasn't able to see that Ray and I would get caught by the poachers, or why I didn't see Nina's death coming earlier... Could I tell him I only see it every once in a while? Maybe glimpses...? Would he even believe something like that-?! But what other explanation is there-" My head was suddenly caught by a pillow, sending me toppling to the floor.

"OI WHAT WAS THAT FOR--!!" I yelled, sitting back up. I yote the pillow back at Ray who caught it then set it back on the couch.

"I was trying to get your attention. Unsurprisingly, violence worked." He shrugged, folding the book in his lap. 

I sighed and laid back on the floor, covering my eyes with my arms. You could cut the tension in the room with a knife. 

Ray sighed as well, standing up from the couch and taking a seat beside me. He leaned back against a nearby bookshelf and scratched the back of his head. "Is that a no then?" He asked, trying to keep the conversation light, but the disappointment in his voice was palpable. 

I chewed the inside of my lip and removed my arms, staring at the ceiling. "No..." I murmured.

Ray paused for a second before speaking again. "Is that a no as in 'no you won't tell me' or a no as in you will?" He asked, picking up his book once again and flipping through the pages.

"No..." I said with another sigh.

Ray turned back to me before looking back to his book. "No as in neither?" He asked.

"No." I said, a small smile beginning to form on my face.

"Then what?" 

"No."

"You little-" Ray exhaled exasperatedly, pinching the bridge of his nose.  

"No." I said again, the my cheeks trembling as I fought to keep a straight face. 

"...You have no intention of telling me, do you." He sighed.

This time I allowed myself to grin. "No."
