Ugh... My body... Can't feel anything... That balaclava man did something to me...
You can't. Your body is paralyzed, although you can still move your head.
Indah (Scared): Wh-who are you?
The name's Alric.
Indah: What do you want from me?
Alric (Casual tone): What any person wants, indah.
Indah (Angered): Don't. Use my name so casually.
Alric (Clears his throat, switching to a more casual-tone): Forgive my manners. I simply wanted to help you.
Indah (quickly glances at the balaclava man, and back to Alric): By sending that man to kidnap me?!
Alric (In a gentle tone, his expressions show regret): I didn't know how to reach you, and I figured it was a nice lesson for him. I... Apologize if this was a counterintuitive approach to reach you.
Alric (Gentle tone): If it makes you feel better. I've diagnosed, that your nerve system will be fully operational in a few weeks time. Till then, I will take care of you.

Present day:
Nerian (Wipes a tear from his eyes): Ahh... That was such a sad movie... Indah did a great performance on her character as always! Say oliv-
Oi nerian! You hanging out with your girl?
We have a score to settle...
Nerian (Angry at the gang leader, visible blood veins popping up): You!
Gang leader (Gets closer to Nerian): Now now, I don't mean ANY harm...
Gang leader (With a stern face): I'm not here to fight, Nerian... I'm here...
Whoosh.
What?
Gang leader (Tears coming out, his whole body is shaking): To apologize... We've heard about your brother's condition.
Nerian (In rapid succession): AND YOU DARE JUST TO COME HERE. TO REMIND ME OF MY BROTHER'S CONDITION?!
Gang leader: I... I know, but please. Give us a chance to make it right. We'll do anything to make it up!
Olive (Mouth still stuffed): I... Have a suggestion! You should all give blizzard some flowers, that's what they usually do in movies.
Gang leader (Lifts his head up): Bu-but we don't know what type of flower blizzard likes!
This looks like a job for me!
Gang leader: Who are you?
Olive (Grinning and shinning): I'll introduce him to you! His name is-
No need to. Allow me to properly elucidate y'all, the name's Davin.
Nerian (Looks back at Davin, surprised to see him): Davin?
Gang leader: Friend of yours?
Nerian (With a hint of anger left): I guess so.
Davin (with a sad expression): Ah... I'm heartbroken..
Olive (Being her usual self): I don't like that frown on you! A smile is much better!
Davin: Thanks, but I think we should really move away...
------
Nerian: I didn't know you a were gardener!
Davin (Shrugging): Eh, it's not a enjoyable hobby. You have to constantly check the soil whether if it's still fertile or no.
The thousand and one admires the garden.
Davin (paying no attention to them): Watering them is a pain, and it's worse when it's time for downpour. Some plants get too wet, and potentially die. Forcing me to dig them out, alongside with the soil and put in new soil and a new plant.
Olive (Her usual-self): Pretty sure you would stop gardening. I mean look at the SIZE of this place!
Davin (notices the flower being put on top): A Gladiolus would be a perfect gift for him. They symbolize strength and thoughtfulness.
Davin: That's your brother right?
Davin (In his mind, gritting his teeth): I should really let olive do the questioning...
Hey thousand and one!
Gang member (Looking at olive): Hey! This is a wallet! Wait, are you telling us to buy the flowers?
Olive (Yelling, joyfully): For a street thug, you're pretty smart!
Davin (Suprised): You sure about giving them your wallet? You usually give out mine.
Nerian (in his mind): How is he fine with that?
"Shot of olive, yawning and walking away from the window"
Olive: But they have to return it later! Anyways, I'm sleepy..
Davin (In his mind): She's totally going to sleep in my bed isn't she?
Nerian (gentle): Um, Davin? Could I stay for the night?
-----
Hello? Davin? Olive? You two are home early!
Creek....
Nerian: VARIAN!
Varian (Eye brows raised up): Oh you live here now?
Nerian (Casually): No I'm just staying for the night.

Nerian (Receiving the handkerchief, his eyes are turning red): Ah, ah, ah... Thank you!
Varian (Petting his cat's nose): where's olive?
Dead on my bed.
Davin (Inhales through his mouth, and exhales through his nose): I've already set up her own room. And yet she STILL sleeps on my bed.
Varian (in a gentle tone): Let her be. She's probably tired from finally meeting Nerian again.
Varian (Glancing towards a idle Nerian. In his mind): I should offer Nerian my bed-
No need to.
Davin (with a casual look): Sleep in olive's bed, I'll sleep on the couch.
Varian (Reaching his hand out towards Davin): But-
Davin: Nah. Your sister's bed to small for you, and I don't really like the vibe of your sister's room.
Nerian (Gesturing his hand, trying to make a compromise): Oh no no! I can-
Davin (Pupils dilated for a second): Oh yes yes YES! Get up there you two.
Nerian: WHAT?!
Varian (Behind Nerian, with a single sweat on his face): Yeah... Olive is a collector in plush toys, hop you don't mind..
Nerian: No no! It's fine. I'm just... Surprised.
Varian: Good Night! Sleep well.
-----.
Davin (in his mind): I feel i'm forgetting something...
Davin (Sneaking around, in his mind): I forgot to give her a blanket..
Got you!
Davin (In Deadpan tone): You weren't sleeping the entire weren't you.
Olive (Being her usual-self): Maybe! Is Nerian sleeping in my bed?
Davin (Walking away from olive): Yeah, I'm sleeping on the couch.
Olive: You should make a new room for nerian then!
Davin (At the lights): We'll have to for Oleander to come back. Anyways, good night.
Olive (Giving Davin a bit grin): Goodnight!

HYAHHHHH
Sebastian (Chain in his left hand, in his mind): That was my first attempt trying that out...
Thanks for the escape.
S
Sebastian (In his mind): He.... He can hardened his blood?!
You were definitely a vanguard ranked user, not many can do that nowadays. Especially when they're a beginner.
Sebastian (In his mind, unable to breathe): I... I felt two strike that.... That felt like a sledgehammer... I didn't even see it... This guy... Did I meet him?
If it was I would had said, if you were an agent. And not. A rouge.
Glory days? Sure, might be the glory days for us. But not for the world.
Oleander!.
Oleander (face dirtied from the previous engagement): Aqeela! Done with your sector already?
Aqeela: Yup! Oh..
Oleander (Side eyeing Sebastian, in a casual tone): He's a bastard you know? Killed the agents here in Berlin, all in one house..
Aqeela (Pouting): Well don't kill him then! You know my track record of being a therapist, and you certainly didn't need to put all of your might into throwing him..
Oleander: Hm.
Oleander: The clock has struck twelve. Change is gone. We need order. As Berlin, set the sky on fire.
