Rayla: Yes, it was that hard...He had to pretty much force the words out of his mouth. It's clear he's not comfortable with it yet. Auror...Force Lucent to do something against his will again and I'll make sure Kaito and Reeta are the first ones to know about your behavior. They are trying to take it slow for a reason.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/1ZovsvE.png[/img]
Rayla: In any case. I'll accept your apology Lucent. It's good to know you choose to be around us. If you want to talk to me, I'm all ears.

   The hours have passed and lunch time has arrived.

[i][u]Fleeting Memories School - Empty Classroom[/u][/i]

   The group was all reunited, including Tatianna, who decided to skip running around the P.E field to be in the reunion.

Rayla: I assume everyone is here.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/rl62MkX.png[/img]
Ted: That's right.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/NqVZiwc.png[/img]
Reeta: Man...It's bizarre seeing Rayla with her hair untied.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/g2RlVxA.png[/img]
Tiane: You can say that again...She's almost a different person.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/y0vK2uL.png[/img]
Andorina: You think so? She looks kinda gorgeous right now...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/jZpRMiB.png[/img]
Rayla: I'm not gorgeous...Don't ever mention it again...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/S2bWOZt.png[/img]
Tiane: Whoa!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/OTD02XZ.png[/img]
Reeta: This is the first time I see her face that red.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/ocpt3Ok.png[/img]
Rayla: Look...you want to know what happened to me or not?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/IPtRfNG.png[/img]
Reeta: O-Of Course we do...Sorry...Go on!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/M2Aa8Ef.png[/img]
Rayla: That's what I thought!

[img]https://i.imgur.com/4Gjutid.png[/img]
Rayla: Well then...after I left school yesterday...I walked around the city searching for something...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/1Vnbvm0.png[/img]
Tiane: What is it exactly?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/jO4GiGt.png[/img]
Rayla: ...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/LmcMcK7.png[/img]
Reeta: Rayla?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/4Gjutid.png[/img]
Rayla: I guess I can share this with all of you...You see, Miolina talked to me at the entrance gate when I was leaving.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Wiv0S5Z.png[/img]
Ted: I imagine that she gave you one of her bits of information.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/DUrTvGg.png[/img]
Rayla: That's right...It's something that I really couldn't believe.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/nDBoJDa.png[/img]
Tiane: (I'm starting to see a pattern with that girl...)
[img]https://i.imgur.com/ssqQzBC.png[/img]
Rayla: She said that the way the assassin known as Blue Reaper kills his targets is with the use of Ice Magic.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/YyA9UD6.png[/img]
Ted: Wait...but that means...The Platinum Family is under suspicion...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/KzZr5Xv.png[/img]
Rayla: No...Karin and Nicholas would never commit any crimes...Karin values life too much to end someone else's and if Nicholas was the culprit, she would've stopped him a long time ago.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/joIM2MR.png[/img]
Ted: (But then...who that leaves us with? Rayla might believe in their innocence, but there might be someone else out there that doesn't.)
[img]https://i.imgur.com/dzmUth5.png[/img]
Rayla: Continuing...I visited the Frellers Gang, but didn't learn anything new.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/1Vnbvm0.png[/img]
Tiane: Why there? Also, you didn't do anything with them, right?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/0hr3n6N.png[/img]
Rayla: No. They actually gave me a reason to step down this time. The leader was being visited by his adoptive brother.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/pKoJGta.png[/img]
Tiane: Ah! Mr. Masato. I was wondering when he would show up again...Too bad I missed it.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/jO4GiGt.png[/img]
Rayla: Then, I've decided to search the Private Detective...I was sure that he would know something more about the Blue Reaper.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/zRT9mjB.png[/img]
Tiane: (There it is...)
[img]https://i.imgur.com/VGWYzWi.png[/img]
Rayla: Coincidentaly, he was also searching for me. We went towards the entrance to the World Crossers Guild and we...discussed the way we do things...

   Then, Rayla told the reason behind her injuries, she was badly beaten by Hiagor because she was realizing how selfish she was being the whole time, taking every strike as a punishment for what she refused to do.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/Sz6kWho.png[/img]
Rayla: This is how I "fell down a flight of stairs." I've realized that his will to protect the city is genuine. I wanted to just help the ones around me...but just doing that won't change the city one bit. That fight made me realize how a big idiot I was being.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/nDBoJDa.png[/img]
Ted: (So Rayla regrets her apathy huh?)
[img]https://i.imgur.com/rxEkwvl.png[/img]
Reeta: Then...You're going to help the city for real?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/VGWYzWi.png[/img]
Rayla: That's right. I'm heading towards the guild after school and taking up on Nancy's offer to use the information she will give out to help the city.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Xb3rFz8.png[/img]
Andorina: That's great. I''ll be cheering you on.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/TntQohV.png[/img]
Reeta: It's a really big task...Can you really do it?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/KzZr5Xv.png[/img]
Rayla: It's not that I can't do it...I HAVE to do it. I have to put my heart and soul in this.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/OTXE1kZ.png[/img]
Ted: Rayla... (So you've finally have your answer.)
[img]https://i.imgur.com/sbuQd0U.png[/img]
Tiane: Make sure to call me when you go there. I want to go as well.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/W9RdI1B.png[/img]
Rayla: Tiane?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/4BnrS1C.png[/img]
Tiane: Of course, I'm still upset that you lost...The Gossip Girl spoiled me on that part.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/R3wTaRz.png[/img]
Rayla: Must've been quite the shock... (But why Miolina told her that?)
[img]https://i.imgur.com/1Vnbvm0.png[/img]
Tiane: I'll just have to make sure to watch your back from now on. Nobody defeats you but me.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/WOHuEJP.png[/img]
Reeta: Are you sure about this Tiane?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/sbuQd0U.png[/img]
Tiane: I didn't take the offer right away because I wanted to see if someone else would step in. I know I'll worry Granny Amara sick but...

   Tatianna pulls the glaive device and activates it.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/P27XGqf.png[/img]
Tiane: But if I have something that can help fix this damn city, I might as well use it...Besides...

   She looks towards the window, seeing the rain outside.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/ekhsdCN.png[/img]
Tiane: If someone from the Freelers Gang helps the city in a larger scale...maybe they'll be seen in a more positive light. I'm sick and tired to be mistaken with those other thugs.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/s0Gvp5v.png[/img]
Reeta: Tiane...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/QAuPn8O.png[/img]
Tiane: So count me in Rayla.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/VGWYzWi.png[/img]
Rayla: Well...I don't really I have a say in this...Lady Amara does.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/CyFjl3g.png[/img]
Tiane: In that case, We should go to the orphanage first to give her the news.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/4Gjutid.png[/img]
Rayla: We'll do that. Well then, time to continue the story.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/LQ3qsV1.png[/img]
Ted: There's more?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/QAuPn8O.png[/img]
Tiane: Oh yeah, you got attacked by the Shihana Clan...or something, right?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/VGWYzWi.png[/img]
Rayla: Yep...After I fell unconcious, I woke up at Mr.F's Mansion.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/wdi2Gpt.png[/img]
Ted: Isn't he that rich guy? I heard some things about him.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/4Gjutid.png[/img]
Rayla: That's him alright. Anyway, the Shihana Clan attacked the mansion and of course, I had to fight back despite my conditions...and as you can see, I've survived.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/G6308RY.png[/img]
Reeta: That's a big relief...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/y0vK2uL.png[/img]
Andorina: And impressive too. Rayla is really super strong, isn't she?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/CyFjl3g.png[/img]
Tiane: Can confirm that for sure!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/ip6nGXf.png[/img]
Rayla: (I can't deny that I've survived for a good while until Miss Suzaku stepped in...)
[img]https://i.imgur.com/HlXPByR.png[/img]
Rayla: That's all that's happened...Everyone...

   She bows down to the group.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/srOJf8P.png[/img]
Rayla: Sorry for worrying you all...And I'll also apologize in advance because I'm going to fight for this city and worry you guys even more for risking my life.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/CGlqCaR.png[/img]
Reeta: You big silly!

    Reeta does the same thing she did to Tatianna some time ago, picking Rayla up and spinning her around, hugging her tighly.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/R3wTaRz.png[/img]
Rayla: OWOWOWOWOWOW! I'm still injured you know? (Also, I didn't knew she could lift someone my size...)
[img]https://i.imgur.com/f8V7fvZ.png[/img]
Reeta: Walk it off dummy! What matters is that you're fine and kicking! You lost on purpose and realized something very important...There's no need to feel bad about that.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/rl62MkX.png[/img]
Ted: You've decided to do the right thing for the city. We're not going to be mad at that.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Xb3rFz8.png[/img]
Andorina: We believe that you can do it.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/ocpt3Ok.png[/img]
Rayla: Well...
