"Mr. Grande? Mr. Grande."
Jackson's green translucent body was directly penetrated by the man in formal attire. He looked at Zach in front of him with some confusion on his face, "Mr. Grande, do you need anything?" After all, the direction Zach was looking at was making people uncomfortable. Misunderstood.
Zach looked at the man in front of him, no, at the overlapping Jackson, his frown did not loosen at all, "No, not at all."
"Oh." The man raised his eyebrows. In fact, he was not sure whether Zach was looking at him, so he raised his eyebrows. "Then Mr. Grande should pay more attention when he gets off the stage." The man pointed to the podium as a reminder.
Zach turned away and looked at Laura who was delivering a speech on the podium. She stood in the center of West End Third Generation, Kepler next to her, then surrounded by other children, Blake at the end, holding down the little one who wasn't sensible enough and wanted to run around.
"Today." Laura was obviously a little nervous, "I, I am standing here, and I am very grateful to have the support of my friends." She took Kepler's hand, looked at the compatriots around her mechanically, and looked at the people who were still sitting there. Alice glanced at the side, "I, I am honored to represent these..."
Zach nodded and turned around, "Thanks for reminding me." This is Zach's execution commission. We really need to thank the man for reminding him. Otherwise, Zach's thinking will be biased after what Jackson just told him. far away!
The man smiled and nodded, before walking away, "If you need anything, sir, please just ask, we will all be there."
Zach, who had turned away his eyes, didn't pay attention at all. He tilted his head to show that he heard it, and looked at the third generation of the West District on the stage. Try your best, yes, try your best, try to limit your thinking to the commission. But it's hard. Because Zach couldn't help but think that in this scene of the third generation gathering in the West End, Jackson should appear in it, instead of floating behind him and saying something to distract him!
"You know, I should actually be there too." Regardless of Zach's wishes, Jackson had no intention of shutting up.
Zach frowned. Take a deep breath. Our vampire was not prepared to take any more words from Jackson, and tried his best to carefully observe where the people on the stage were standing.
The positions of these people can be roughly divided by age. Excluding Blake, who has entered the adult world, Laura is in the front and behind the podium. Next to her is Kepler of the same age, and then on both sides behind her. They are middle school age children and elementary school age children. The dishonest ones at the end are the preschool age children who are controlled by Blake.
Falcon's siblings are in the opposite direction of Kepler from Laura, and his elder sister Charlotte and younger brother Sherlock are both in primary school age.
But even in this simple stance, clear boundaries can be seen.
"We are standing here today. We do not represent our parents or family, but ourselves." Laura's speech was trembling and stiff, obviously memorized. "Not everyone is as lucky as us. All we want Do something for everyone, rely on your own strength... "
The third generation on the stage looked at each other, hesitating whether to pretend to nod or applaud in agreement. The boundaries appear at this point.
It was quite obvious that Kepler was next to Laura. Basically, he would nod vigorously every time he said something. I don’t know if he was over-taught by others, and he would never turn his head to look at the reactions of the people around him. People of junior high school age would look at each other, occasionally showing confused looks, and barely forcing a smile in front of the flashing spotlights.
People at the elementary school level didn't care what Laura was saying at all, they just gathered together and muttered something in a low voice. Regardless of the occasion, they often hesitate to confirm each other and clapped hands sparsely after a flash of light.
As for Blake, who was at the back, it was difficult just to contain the toddler who was trying to run around, and he couldn't cooperate or give any prompts at all.
"They are missing someone." Jackson behind Zach drove back again. "They're missing me."
Zach twitched his lips and continued to ignore it, trying to calm his thoughts and think about what to do next. Because obviously, according to what we see now, even if this group of people is forcibly pushed to the nursery in the future by the West District adults, they will be divided into groups according to their own life circles and age groups, and the reduction of distance in the commission will not be realized at all.
"It's actually very simple." After having said it, Jackson was not going to shut up. "Actually, it's just like the graduation speech. If you are called to give a speech as a good student, you can't just talk about good students. Good students only make up a minority. , most people don’t understand the world of good students…”
Remember, Jackson was the good student who gave the speech at his own graduation ceremony. It turned out that he was excluded from his classmates' real graduation party, and he learned from this experience.
Zach would no longer turn around and look at him rashly like he did just now, and he didn't want to respond in any way. He frowned and thought about his own things. But I have to admit that what Jackson said is right.
Look at the stage, I’m afraid Kepler was the only one who understood Laura’s speech, because when Zach threw the seeds of this project into Laura’s mind, Kepler was right next to him. So no matter how reluctant Kepler is, she can at least understand that what they are doing now is a good deed.
But as for the others, looking at their hesitant, reluctant, and even ignorant attitudes, they probably didn’t understand what Laura was talking about. To put it simply, the children at Parker Elementary School were none of their business—they had barely even gone out to the West Side before reaching high school, and they had no idea what the outside world was like.
Everyone under the podium suddenly stood up and applauded. It was not spontaneous, but the late mayor stood up. As the spotlight flashed, Mayor Anthony kept applauding with an extremely sincere smile on his face.
Anything beyond the process seemed to make Laura nervous. She had just finished her speech and looked at the adults behind the podium for help, but no one gave her guidance. Blake reluctantly smiled and said not to worry.
The third generation of the West District once again returned to their seats in confusion as Laura's speech ended, but this time there was no camera facing them, they all looked at the empty podium and smiled and applauded the mayor.
Mayor Anthony's applause continued until his palms turned red, the flash gradually disappeared, and no camera was looking at him. Then, when the second-generation representative of the West District came on stage after the process, the mayor nodded to Laura’s father on the podium and left. Just walked through the backstage, recalling Blake's car when he came up.
Well, Anthony just left a scene where he could be edited into all the frames, and then left...
"Well, it's really interesting to 'converse' with you." Jackson said this behind Zach. When Zach turned around, he had already drifted towards Blake who was getting in the car and left. (..)
