[b][i][u]Location: Glory Star Orphanage - Front Yard[/u][/i][/b]

[i]As they reached the orphanage, the kids were playing outside. As they stopped to say hi, Kiragi looked directly at his Big Bro.[/i]

Kiragi: Big Bro Lucent!

[i]Kiragi ran and jumped on Lucent, hugging him. He got startled and surprised.[/i]

Lucent: K-Kiragi...?!

Kiragi: Yay, you came, you came! Welcome home!

Lucent: T-Thanks...

Kiragi: Hey, hey, can we play now? I wanna play tag!

Lucent: I... guess we can.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/UapOVou.png[/img]
Kiragi: OK, it's you then! Try to catch me, Big Bro Lucent!! *runs away*
[img]https://i.imgur.com/vK3uHoL.png[/img]
Lucent: H-Hey, Kiragi! Geez... OK, I'm coming!

[i]Lucent ran after Kiragi, who went inside.[/i]

Kaito: Hehe, and there they go. Kiragi's such a good boy and a good help.

Masaru: Yeah, I think so too.

[i]From another way, Maki also arrived alone. Since this wasn't the hour she generally came back, Kaito was curious and decided to ask.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/a532uBK.png[/img]
Kaito: Oh, Maki! You're early home today! What happened?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/lYw4N5s.png[/img]
Maki: Nothing that matters you, Kaito.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/DzNjiXy.png[/img]
Kaito: Alright then. Hey, did you just see how Lucent and Kiragi are playing happily together?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/CWz3ph6.png[/img]
Maki: Lucent? Is he playing with the kids now?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/FbEGXXX.png[/img]
Kaito: It's all part of the plan to make him more sociable to people. You see-
[img]https://i.imgur.com/gAmOHiJ.png[/img]
Maki: Enough, I don't care about it.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/qymPqLD.png[/img]
Masaru: Maki, you don't have to be so cold like that.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/DvjQIxZ.png[/img]
Maki: I am what I am. Feel free to hate me if you want.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/X4C5YDC.png[/img]
Masaru: W-What? No, I won't do that.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Od2igPA.png[/img]
Maki: Whatever...

[i]As she was going inside, she noticed Tatianna was with them. Because Maki was absent yesterday, she didn't knew about the return.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/XkpFbUf.png[/img]
Maki: ... So you're back.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/4b0HCfQ.png[/img]
Kaito: Maki, what's with the scorn for Tiane?

[i]Alongside Lucent, Maki is one of the most unfriendly residents in the orphanage. She had a way to talk with Lady Amara, a way to talk with the children and a way to talk with the other residents. Among the people there, two stood out on her list. The first one was Lucent, because of how weak-willed he was to live. And the other one was Tatianna, because of how her connections with thugs, her eventual targets, were close.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/7kTFW0E.png[/img]
Maki: I hope you finally made your mind up. It's irritating how you decide to play around and disregard Lady Amara's feelings just to come back like if nothing ever happened.

Masaru: H-Hey, don't pick a fight right now-
[img]https://i.imgur.com/eH3vHOy.png[/img]
Maki: Get the warning between the lines. Neighbor's tip.

[i]Maki went inside, going directly to her room.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/Bml5VJQ.png[/img]
Kaito: She's another tough cookie.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/NkDq9YH.png[/img]
Masaru: I have to admit, Maki gives me the chills. It's hard to even look at her.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/a532uBK.png[/img]
Kaito: You think so? Anyway, what's this warning she mentioned, Tiane?
