"I wonder how they'll remember you."
'How would they remember me?'
Tanya falls weakly to the floor, Ezren wipes his hand on Tanya's clothes, Ezren leaves Tanya's apartment swiftly after.
'Am I giving up?'
'How will the people around me remember me?'
'As a failure?'
Tears begin to well up in Tanya's eyes as she lies on the floor, slowly bleeding out.
'All my life, what was I even doing?'
Tanya remembers being a happy child, surrounded by her family and friends, with everyone looking at her with smiles.
She remembers training hard, to follow her father's footsteps.
'My father was a hero. He was my hero, I would always run and greet him at the door after every one of his shifts. He would lift me in the air and we both would laugh.'
The pool of blood keeps expanding on the floor.
'I remember back when I was thirteen, when I was standing beside my father's bed. I was the last one to leave him. Only now could I understand what my father must've felt.'
Tanya's vision starts blurring, her eyelids get heavier and heavier.
'I'm sorry.'
'I failed my team, I failed my father. I am not my father.'
Tanya's bangs fall into her eyes, part of her white hair getting stained with blood.
'I wonder if they would be angry with me because I didn't return to them.'
Her breathing becomes slower with each second that passes.
'If they understand that I didn't run from them. I just didn't know how to face them.'
Tanya's phone starts ringing from the kitchen counter.
'Would they cry for me?'
She reminisces about the short time she had with Black Sigil. The closest friends she's ever had.
'Who am I even asking?' Tanya thinks.
She rolls over on her back, facing upwards.
'I was going to see them tomorrow.'
Tanya's last thoughts were what could've been. She and Black Sigil hanging out once again.

Ari leaves Kaia's house, the rain had stopped by now.
As he looks up at the sky, he sees a little egret flying past him.
"Hmm?"
As the bird vanishes into the distance, an uneasy feeling fell over Ari.
He shakes it off and returns back to Sixx's office.
Ari throws his notebook on Sixx's office table.
"I'm pretty sure the killer is either A) Someone working at the school, B) A student, or C) … actually there is no C), It's A) or B)." Ari says.
Sixx puts on his glasses and reads the notebook.
"How do you know that?" Sixx asks.
"It was pretty easy to figure out. You told me that all the victims were found by routine paths, someone that follows the same path every day. Every victim found was associated with Roxanne Bay City High-school." Ari explains.
"I see, Ari. This is great news. Sangre De Reyes really is amazing." Sixx replies, impressed.
Ari sits down on a chair.
"But I am curious about one thing." Ari says quietly.
Sixx's eyebrow shoots up.
"Why did you keep the victims records from me?" Ari asks, staring darkly into Sixx's eyes.

In Shiawase, Unit Zero face off against Tanna.
Claire throws mana infused ear props to Unit Zero.
"Put these on." Claire says, leading the line.
"Sound Style: Cacophony Dance."
A high-pitched screeching sound falls over the battlefield, Tanna tenses up, blood leaking from his ears immediately.
'What the fuck?! I can barely move.' Tanna thinks in excruciating pain.
"Axia." Claire says.
She walks up beside Claire.
Axia starts blowing a bubble with her gum.
"Fffuhhker""
The bubble pops, sending a purple projectile flying rapidly at Tanna.
'Oh crap, I can't move!!'
Tanna's eyes widen just before the force of the projectile connects and erases his skin, sending him stumbling.
The impact sends shockwaves through the street behind him, bricks crumble from nearby buildings, rocks, and other debris fly across the ground.
As the dust and smoke clears, Tanna stands with his skin erased, his eyes and teeth wide with no coverage in display.
'These fucking kids!!' Tanna thinks, infuriated.
Plaster steps in-between Axia and Claire.
"Ladies, you gotta hit em' like a man."
Kevo and Beyce stand back up, watching from behind.
"Beyce, load up Engine." Kevo says.
"Huh? But Plaster got it." Beyce replies.
"Just do it…"
"ENGINE!!"
Beyce starts powering up, the ground beneath them all shaking.
"Pyro Style: Hell Ball!"
A blazing fireball forms in front of Plaster, twice the size from when Plaster and Beyce sparred.
The fireball shoots at Tanna with insane speed.
'I still can't move!! This host is done for!!'
Tanna hugs the fireball on impact, they fly back some distance at a rapid pace, further damaging the city in the process.
"You see that, Beyce? Tank that next time."
Kevo steps up beside Plaster.
"Thunder Style: Shida's Storm."
A lightning bolt slams down on the massive fireball, erasing it completely and connecting critically on Tanna.
"Kevo? What the fuck, man!?" Plaster says, annoyed.
"Beyce, now."
The lightning and fire clear, Beyce lunges, fist loaded up.
As he approaches rapidly, he sees the fist sized insect injured, flying around.
"I get it!"
Beyce throws the enhanced punch with all his might, connecting and sending the insect flying back.
The insect crashes into a wall, splattering blue blood all over the wall, instantly dying.
Beyce tries holding his fist covered in smoke.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow… that's hot." Beyce says, hopping around.
Unit Zero walk up behind him.
"Meh, still think my attack would've finished him." Plaster says, hands in pockets.
Unit Zero stare at the insect's blood splattered all over the building wall.
