At last, the horrid stench had finally began to dissipate. However Kristof had not realized that this was a seemingly bad thing. The creature had made its escape, and with it the pursuit of knowledge had evaded these mysterious figures for now. His gesture of greeting, a strong handshake, had been unfounded with this leader or sorts. Disappointed that the respect he had given was not reciprocated Kristof turned away from the man.

The strongman had set his sights upon the young orange haired girl and laughed heartily at her slight mispronunciation, after he had heard Minami's piece he spoke in a rather gentle tone, "If it is you're wish, little one, then I have no choice but to go along with and protect you. And I shall help you along the journey, to become as strong as I." The large man had smiled quite warmly, it seemed that he had a liking for young folk, the innocence that they carry.

Being the last one to the rather cramped elevator, Kristof was forced to attempt to squeeze his bulky body within, "Excuse me, Pardon me, Very sorry." Finally the whole of them had been fitted within. The young thieving woman who had chatted with him earlier. A policeman almost as strongly featured as he. A college boy who had a bright future ahead. The young girl whom he swore to protect. And who could forget the doctor who was frightened by Kristof. Finally these mystery people, with a sigh the strongman spoke as the elevator doors slid shut, "Hope that this is the right decision friends. Our lives may become much more complex from here."
