Alexei Dragunov

The past days have been heavy with introspection, what ever happened inside the strange place. Whatever was that giant hulk of an existence and what were his true feelings for his family had been evaluated and then re-evaluated by Alexei as he had more time to himself at his home. Elena was due to discharge in the evening today and his mother didn't had the faintest clue of what had happened to the siblings. The hospital staff had played their parts well and he was grateful for that.

But strangely, Rui wasn't as much a help as Alexei would have thought. Perhaps he was new to this too. He hadn't been focusing on the lesson at hand when the bell tolled and he was brought back to the present. There was a place where all their paths converged, the Manga and Anime club. Surely, the girls knew more than him at least. They were there and ready to mix in their punches. Perhaps he needed to probe more before mulling it over by himself.
