"Steven... This is too dangerous, you can't do it" May whispers, too shocked to yell.
"If I don't do it, then who will?" He arguments.
"I don't know. We should call the police, or something! Just... Don't do it, Stevo."
He rips the letter off of May's hand.
"I have to, I already told you" He repeats in a cold tone.
"And suddenly you're the only one who can save her" May mocks, folding her arms over her chest. Steven glares at his friend.
"If I don't..."
"Then no one will, yada yada. Please change the record, it's getting repetitive."
"You have a lot to say about me, but you're not a sweetheart either" Steven folds the letter and puts it back inside his pocket. "Please leave, May. I'm going through enough, already, I don't need you here being a pain in the ass."
"I'm not leaving. You really are going after her, and I don't want you to do it."
"It's not about what you want!"
"You have to consider my feelings too. Or are you too selfish to realize your actions also impact your friends?"
"Maybe I am" Steven stands up and grabs the bag, putting it on his shoulder. "I don't care if you're worried about me or what, I'm going anyway."
Steven walks out of the room. He knew it wouldn't take long enough until the staff realizes he's gone, so he took the stairs instead of the elevator.
Even if he didn't want to admit it to himself, it pained to leave May at that state. He feels like a horrible person for not taking her feelings into account, but she's not seeing his side either.

Wallace was about to have a cup of tea when he heard the doorbell ring. He puts down the spoon, already annoyed at the visitor.
"Steven?!" He gasps in shock.
His friend looks even crappier since his last visit to the hospital. Thin, dark bags under his eyes, tired expression.
"What are you doing here? You should be at the hospital!" He quickly grabs a Poké Ball. "Come, I'll get you back to your room."
"Wallace, stop" Steven raises one hand. "I just came here to say goodbye."
"Goodbye? Why?" Wallace furrows his eyebrows. He then notices the bag hanging from Steven's shoulder. "Are you leaving?"
"(Y/N)'s parents asked me to get her. I know I'm not the most suitable person for the job, but... I can also deal with my father while I'm at it. Shane said he went to a work trip, but I know he's out there doing something to her. I need to stop it."
Wallace closes his turquoise eyes. Unlike May, he knew there's nothing he can say to stop Steven. He's going anyway, no matter what he says. So, instead of wasting saliva, he just hugs his long time friend.
"Be careful out there, yeah?"
"You know I don't give up without a good fight" Wallace smiles, giving Steven a friendly pat.
