"Yoo!. Finally."
Zack exclaimed as he and his other two fellows entered their room, it was quite a long day. Ender takes off his white coat before hanging it on door hanger, while Zack and Ruis also did the same. They had three bathrooms in their room as all of them first go to fresh themselves.
After a while, they all were laying on their beds as Ender had gone for a nap. Zack was also quite tired but he couldn't sleep which was annoying him as he was moving here and there ok his bed, even rubbing the bed sheet. Ruis was seeing him with a blank face as his bed was beside him.
~ Just sleep..
He thought as he turns to his side and covered his face with pillow while Ender was sleeping like a baby cause he wasn't making any noise or moving, his bed was on the corner of the room, below Zack's bed and a little side.

Leon and Azon were sitting on a coffee table, drinking coffee gracefully as Azon sips before saying.
"Don't you find it odd that the man was screaming at Ender like that?."
These words make Leon pondered as he takes a sip.
"Well... I do but he's just a kid who's in his youth. What can he really do?. That guy spiritually was sealed because of arsuin."
Arsuin is a special natural occuring artifact which is a flower. It allows the user to temporarily sealed their spiritually for a short time. Longer exposure can cause hallucinations and memory loss.
"But still.. You should keep an eye on him."
Azon spoke briefly.
"You telling me to keep an eye on a kid?."
Leon said with a irritated expression.
"Well.. I guess Lisa will do this work."
Azon said as he steps up before going out of the room and slamming the door. While Leon looked at him going with an undreadable expression.
– You don't find that kid strange?. Leon..
His inner voice asked him. He thought before saying.
~ I do.. He's lately acting strange.. But what could a kid do in the end. Those Arvans can't find anything strange in his spirituality.
– It doesn't mean that he's normal. Sometimes the biggest Darkness hides in the void..
Hearing those whispers coming from within him. Leon was quite as he stands up before going outside.

Azon was walking on the knight hall, it was just the echos of his footsteps as he heards a hums from behind and turned around subconsciously. Behind him a pink portal emerged as Miss Rose and Sara walked out of it. Miss Rose was energetic and a faint smile appeared on her cheeks seeing her brother.
While Sara was so weary that she could barely stand up, a bundle clinging on her hands as Miss Rose kindly takes it from her.
"You should go now.."
She said with her lips curved to a smile as Sara disappeared from there in an instant.
Now there was nobody except siblings facing each other.
"You look musing.."
She said with a curious eyes lingering on her face.
"No. It's just the investigation. And that captive I told you."
Azon said with a sigh, his tone was quite soft here as he had already telepathically told his sister about the captive.
"Well.. I'm in the lab. Do whatever you want."
She turned behind before walking some steps and disappeared from there as Azon was alone standing on the knight hall, he faced upwards, before disappearing from there as well..

Misha was standing on the balcony of her room, she was wearing a night dress; her arms resting on the ceiling. It was night and the blue moon was quite gleaming as it's shine reflect on her amber eyes. The gentle breezes rustling through soft caress of her dark brown hairs as she closed her eyes for a brief moment.
"Hey."
A familiar voice came from behind as Lisa cames from behind in her night's dress; stand beside her , seeing her face titled towards her, lightning with blue light, it was the same for Lisa as well.
"Can't sleep.."
She said with a smirked. As Misha gave a lazy nod before resting her head to the ceiling, her eyes were tired. As Lisa mirror her, both facing each other, They could scent their unreal aroma, it was as if a sweet orange and programate were stood aside to each other.
Then Lisa tilted her face to opposite way, fjr a while it was silence between them, a warm silence. As one of them shattered it.
"Do you ever had friends?."
Misha whispered, as Lisa titled towards her, she was quite surprised like why had she asked it in the first place?.
"Just asking causally.."
Misha said with her usual smile, as Lisa pondered for a moment before she stood up.
Her face was quite undreadable as Misha was still glaring at her, before she stood up as well, facing her.
"I– I lost my dad when I was young."
She gulped her throat, frowned while hearing those words surprised Misha, her gaze widened because Lisa always said Mr Sherlock as father or dad.
"It's quite a long story... I was very young, at least a toddler, I don't even had conscious of the world up till then, he died because of an creatures invasion in this city. Dad lost his wife and his daughter who was my age."
She continues with a pause, sighing trying to control herself, knitting her brows together.
"My father was Dad's best friend... He died on his arms, before he was about to pass, my Dad vowed to protect me and treat me as her own daughter.."
Tears shred from her eyes as Misha held her face, gently wiping those tears off. Lisa collapsed as Misha held her together.
"B– But he's always treat me as... Like I'm his own daughter, never let me felt I was alone, for a moment.. But yeah.. I never had any friends... Up till now.."
She smiled, tears streaming from her eyes to her cheeks, as they both embrace each other, maybe these words were buried in her void up till now. It was quite a wonderful moment, as tears shed from Misha's eyes too, their hairs scattered over their faces.

Leon entered his room, trying to not make a sound as he closed the door, the lamp was still on from his side, it was warm and cozy room Iris was already sleeping on the bed, he glanced at her before sighing and green boxes covered his body as now he was wearing a simple night dress. Goes to his bed and turned off the lamp.
***
It was day now as birds started chirping, the sun had arisen as now in their rooms. Ender was getting ready, while others were still laying on their beds.
He wears his white coat and glanced at them, Zack was snoring while Ruis had covered his face with pillow. He sighs and extended his arm over them. Soon a series of unreadable texts summon from his hand which goes to both of their heads. Zack stop snoring as he opens his one eye, seeing Ender standing at the door.
Ruis remove the pillow from his face to saw Ender, before him.
"I'm going."
He said with a smile before slamming the door. While the other two glanced at each other with blank face.
Ender gracefully opened the counter door to saw Iris sitting there like usual.
"Good morning."
He said with a smile as Iris chuckles, before controlling herself.
"You don't need to investigate today. It's up to you if you want to go."
Iris said briefly. Hearing those words, Ender was quite surprised as he heard footsteps coming and door opens, this time Azon and Lisa were there.
"You're coming with us.."
Azon said with an undreadable expression.
"Yeah. I'll be quite bored here."
He replied, as Azon sighs. As they're walking towards the door, Lisa was examining Ender with an curious expression, which he felt quite werid. Nevertheless, he didn't bothered much to think about it. As they walked outside; were about to sit in carriage which was waiting for them. Suddenly, as Ender was about to sit, a punch came from behind, making him off balance.
"You brat!. You think you're gonna go alone."
Zack who was moments ago laying on his bed, now was all ready with his usual coat. A teasing expression while Ender starred at him with a irritated expression. Lisa eyes startled watching them while Azon didn't give a thing about it.
~ This brat won't leave me alone for just a moment.
He wondered as Zack also sat with them as the rider whipped his horse and it continues it's journey again.
