Marina: Understood. I will not disappoint you all.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/ATGUitS.png[/img]
Auror: OK, so I guess that settles for the events up until now. 
[img]https://i.imgur.com/O79Qkcn.png[/img]
Marina: Well, other than that, I suppose we should wait until school is over so we can see Mister Lucent's conditions at the shrine.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/GAlH9eg.png[/img]
Auror: Right. With that said, let's have lunch now before our boxes get cold.

[i]They began to open their boxes and to eat. [/i]

Auror: Hmm... guess I'm going down to the cafeteria to get something sweet for me to eat. Does someone want it too?

[i]Reimu finally landed at the shrine. Cookie was at the entrance, waiting for her.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/v0dypAV.png[/img]
Reimu: How's the situation?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/agd9Niv.png[/img]
Cookie: He fell asleep. I did an initial treatment, but I think you're more able at this than me.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/YNj0xUD.png[/img]
Cookie: You did took your time to come back. Did something happen?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/k34FJHT.png[/img]
Reimu: Had a little of complications at my end, but it's fine now.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/q93pmsF.png[/img]
Cookie: I see... though you came here unnacompanied. I thought someone would be coming with you in order to check up on him
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Yqa41fW.png[/img]
Reimu: I'd rather evade a lot of those guys coming here at the shrine... though I'm sure they're going to send someone, even if I asked not to.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/JoJ10Ma.png[/img]
Reimu: Powered or not, he's a civilian. It's over our control how they're going to administrate the situation in the end.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/t1a8EVm.png[/img]
Cookie: Yes... that's a little unfortunate.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Wz0A4b7.png[/img]
Reimu: Not to mention that I entered in the battle. Since I don't belong to this world and my shrine appeared out of nowhere...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/WxLPfOv.png[/img]
Cookie: They'll question every single circumstance possible.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/p62Upqv.png[/img]
Reimu: Exactly. And I can't let any of them slide at any second.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/HuUPB0L.png[/img]
Cookie: I'll stay inside then. I don't see myself being an actual help in this situation.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/k34FJHT.png[/img]
Reimu: Best if you do concentrate on taking care of the boy. I'll handle the authorities.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/v0dypAV.png[/img]
Reimu: And remind me of giving you all the information later. We didn't have much time to talk, with the whole thing yesterday.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/6qrv7BB.png[/img]
Cookie: OK. I'll remind you later.

[i]Meanwhile at the room, Lucent was starting to rest as he began to have a flashback of his memories.[/i]

[hider=Memory: The Day They Left Me Behind]
[b][i]8 Years Ago[/i][/b]

[i]They arrived in front of the orphanage, seemingly in an immense hurry. Both left the car, she carrying the injured child in her arms. It was raining and she stood trembling at the door, firm grasp at the young boy she held on her arms.[/i]

[i] They left him lying at the front door and knocked three times. Both gave their son one last glance, leaving with him a grimoire and a cross-shaped pendant.[/i]

[i]Both of them embark in the car and leave. As he was completely injured, even crying hurt him. The door opened and a kid appeared right at his back.[/i]

Kid: Ah!! L-Lady Amara!! There's an injured boy right here in the door!!
[/hider]

*BGM fades*

[i]He closed his eyes, but the tears wouldn't stop running. The pain of his memories was deeply rooted into his soul, as he couldn't believe the lie he was told back then.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/Kub07aL.png[/img]
Lucent: Why couldn't you just admit it already? Why did you lie to me, Mom...? Why...?

[center]Was it so hard for you to say that you hated me? Was it so hard... for you to say that you two would never come back?[/center]
