A lone woman of long silver hair with white antler horns on her head travels on her lonesome under the cover of the two moons. She tightens her grip on her rags clothing as the wind bites at her, making her grit her teeth. She accidentally steps on a big rock, making her fall to the ground with some rocks digging into her arm.

"Stupid leg..." She mutters as she lifts one of her legs, revealing it to be prosthetics, "Need to check on it later..."

She slowly gets up and continues to walk until she spots a mobile city lighting up the sky. She exhales in relief while smiling before frowning as she looks down to her prosthetic arm carrying a small box attached to it.

"I really hope this will all be worth it, Doctor."

"...Are you sure he is alive?"

A man sitting behind the desk with his face facing the wall, gravely says as he taps on his arm rest.

"...Suspected, sir."

"I don't care! We invested funds and time into that operation, and I wanted guarantees, not guesses. Centaurea, Senomy, finish the job along with your primary objective."

"...Understood."

The man doesn't react as he hears footsteps moving away from him, then the sound of a door shutting with a bit more force. He doesn't move for a few more minutes, before he glances to the right to see the picture of Doctor Ashura in his coat, hanging above the wall amidst a variety of knives embedded into the wall.

"I will make you sure you are buried deep underground one way or another, you fucking cockroach." He throws a knife at the picture before leaning back in his seat.

"Shining, you should go rest; out of everyone else, I am more worried about you," Ashura softly says while glancing at her as he walks in the hallway with Shining beside him. They had decided to return back to R.I than camp the night out in the wilderness or at the remnants, though they did check up on some of the nearby villages but found that they had also been burned down.

"I'm fine, Ashura. It will take more than that to stop me." Shining lightly smiles as she gazes at him with warmth, making him turn to look away though his eyes twitch, "I want to be sure that nothing is forgotten."

"...Ok, just... If you want to rest, just tell me, alright?"

"Of course."

As they turn the corner to Kal'tsit's office, they spot a familiar face frowning as she holds her hand up to the door then lowers it down. Ashura takes a step back with his eyes widen before glancing over to Shining.

"Maybe we should report in the morning." Ashura tugs at Shining's hand before he turns around, "How about sleeping in my roo-"

"...Doctor," An apathetic voice rings out, making him freeze before glancing back to see W looking at him with her hand on her knife. Shining in response lifts her staff while moving in front of Ashura.

"...Hey?" Ashura awkwardly waves his hand at her as he turns around, "Fancy seeing you here in this lovely night of two moons that –"

"Shut it. Leave," W growls out as she glares at him, "I don't want to see you ever again."

"...Kinda hard to do that when I live here?" Ashura scratches his cheek, feeling himself shivering a bit, "I also don't have my memories so kinda... Awkward? To know someone expects me to know them."
