In the afternoon, the last hour of school, Mika goes to Adam.
Mika: I wanna ask you something, Adam.
Adam: Wait, what the hell, I didn't do anything. I never even saw her until now. What might it be? Yeah?
Mika: (annoyed) You took so long there.
Yuki, who's lying on his desk, raises his gaze just to see them.
Yuki: What's going on there? Socialising, I guess.
He lowered his gaze, drifting off to his own world of thoughts. Now, back to Adam. He gave an awkward smile to her.
Adam: Sorry, anyway, what is the question?
Mika: I wanna know about Yuki.
A few boys and Yuvaraj glance at her, then turn away as Mika looks around. Yuki raises his gaze with suspicion, mumbles.
Yuki: Did she say my name?
He woke up and leaned back on his chair.
Yuki: I don't think it matters.
Scene switches again to Adam.
Adam: What? Don't shout, he might hear you. Anyway, Why??
Mika: We don't have any partners yet, so Hamesh, sir, suggested we team up with him. I just want to know a bit about him.
Adam: You could have asked your friends, Why me?
Mika: Yeah, but I want to know more about him. It's always good to know more, you know.
Adam: But I still don't get why you are so focused on him.
Mika: Just curiosity…
Adam: So what do you know about him?
Mika: They said he is introverted and nice.
Adam: Yeah, also, you could trust his promise.
Mika: He has a good side, or is it an act? I want to know about his past, that's why I'm asking you, of all people.
Adam: (smiles) There is more to it. I see, cuz I'm one of his trusted people. But he never trusted me. I don't know anything else. You can't know anything else unless you ask him.
Mika: Oh, I see. Thanks.
Mika was ready to leave, but then—
Adam: And one more thing.
Mika: Yeah?
Adam: How he acted with his bully... it wasn't normal. His eyes—man, they were terrifying. His whole vibe is different. I could never forget that look. Just thinking about it now — my heart's racing with fear.
Mika: That makes him suspicious again. Who is he? What is he up to? If he's human, what happened in his life? Now I'm curious, what is his story?
School ended, and everyone went back home. Mika was not satisfied as she couldn't find any information about him. She opened the door.
Mika: I'm home, Mom.
She said with a flat voice.
Harini(Mika's mother): What happened? You don't sound like yourself.
Mika: It's not a big deal, Mom.
Harini: But you don't look like it.
Mika: I have met someone in school…
Harini: Oh, who is it?
Mika: He's just a guy, and I have been given a choice to team up with him or not.
Harini: Confused.So what's the problem?
Mika: got serious. He is not like us. I sensed a huge negative chakra, and yet, he is a protector.
Harini: I never heard of someone like him.
Mika: He's a level 1 protector. Probably that's we haven't heard someone like that.
Harini: He's not a demon, so why do you care?
Mika: What if he's a demon in disguise? So I tried to gather info about him. But he's pretty mysterious. I even asked his close friends.
Harini: You've an interesting journey ahead.
Mika: Yeah, right.
Mika: (sighs)Dad would probably say trust your conscience.
Harini: Yeah…
Mika goes to her room.
Mika: I left with only one choice to find out about him—Team up with him.
The next day, in the dining hall, she is eating breakfast.
Harini: So, what're you gonna do?
Mika: Team up with him. That's the only way to figure it out.
Harini: Good luck.
After eating, Mika walks outdoors and puts on her shoes.
Mika: Bye, Mom. No school bus today… Guess I'll have to walk, huh.
Krishna: Humans created a day not to use any vehicles. This is that day.
In school, on the first break, Mika heads to the teacher's office and notices that Yuki is already there. Adam follows them to the teacher's office.
Mika: What is he doing here?
Adam: If you don't mind, can I take Yuki's place?
Yuvaraj(Adam's friend): Adam, you can't go around changing teams. We're not on good terms.
Krishna: He was Yuki's bully.
Hamesh: Your team has decided you can't change it.
Mika: I would team up with Yuki, sir.
Yuki: (annoyed) It's annoying.
Hamesh:Then that settles it. I hope it goes well. I don't have to worry about them. We haven't encountered any demons. I have a bad feeling about this. I hope everything is alright. Good luck, Yuki.
