Two weeks later.
It has been two weeks since Circe took Orcus in-charge all by herself, other than dealing with some of their clients and their cases respectively, Circe spent half of her sleep time to get the leftover tangle points of File Delta and File Milo sort out, especially for File Delta.
She has been seeing Delta back around them, but why is he not taking any action yet? Is he stalling up? On what purpose? Or is this just another loophole he neglects?
They've been told about the story happened between Delta and Squad Ninox, there are unsolved points that are extremely doubtful, the Game of Birds and Zero's death, the treason of Informant-R, the sudden suicide of Delta, his resurrection after his death was declared by the hospital, and the twisted killer he now turned into.
Orcus.As the sun sets, the dim yellow street lights gradually lighten up. Once again, it's another evening Orcus ushered in the moment of their daily closing hour... But hey, who's there standing at the door stopping the office door to be locked?"Stupid Zwei?" in a blank face, Circe stares at the tan skin boy standing in front of her, "What are you doing here?" she asked, she then suddenly gasps deeply in disgust, "Were you following me!? You are a pervert stalker! I'm going to call the police!""Oi oi oi! Wait!" nervously, Zwei yelled with his voice cracked, he raises his hands high up enacting his innocence, "I'm not following you! I'm not!"You're not? My ass! Circe cursed in distrust."Tell me why the hell are you here
Vorsord Suites.The next morning, bright sunlight penetrates through the window sprinkling on Gino's face. Gino gradually wakes up from his dream, he opens his eyes and squints into the white flare. There, he finds a man in silver hair sitting right next to him.He gazes at Gino's face with his deep blue eyes, he gently smiles."Ash..." Gino called, stretching his arm towards Ash.Ash holds Gino's hand and pulls him closer, he leaves a kiss in the middle of Gino's palm, he then holds it in front of his chest."Morning, sleepy head." with his softest voice, he whispered.Gino slowly blinks his eyes, he gazes back at Ash's smile. Ash doesn't know how much Gino likes to see him smile
Vorsord Suites.Before the sun fully rises, Ash's apartment fetches it's first visitor of the day. It is just half past six, yet the doorbell never stops ringing. Laying his feet onto the cold marble floor, Ash slowly approaches the door with his breath slowed down.Ash holds tight onto the gun grip at his back as he gulps in unease. When he finally reaches the foyer, he holds his breath and quietly leans his face close to the door. He slowly flips the lid up and looks through the peephole.There, he thought there's at least a figure to be seen in front of his door, but there isn't. It's empty, he can see no single soul at his doorstep.He continues to hold his breath as his eyes search across the hallway.BUZZ. BUZZ. BUZZ.
St. Raphael Hospital.That night after work, Micah proceeded to the hospital directly as usual, he wants to keep Remington accompanied so that he won't feel bored or abandoned.Remington holds a cap of hot chocolate in his hands, he asks, "So how's Gino? How's his leg?"It has been two weeks since Gino hasn't been visiting Remington, Micah told him about Gino's ankle injuries, and Circe told him about the truth behind the syringe incident too. Remington did have Gino keep him updated with video calls, but Remington hasn't have the chance to take a good look at him in person yet, he couldn't be sure about it from video images, he doesn't trust the images, he always thinks the wound could look a lot worse on Gino than what he saw through the phone camera.While Micah hasn'
Vorsord Suites. A few hours earlier before the sun sets, Ash was left alone in the apartment after Erika was told to leave because Delta never showed up. Holding a cigarette within his fingers, he sits by the balcony holding his head in melancholy. He keeps his eyes shut and tries to think through this, he always wanted to come up with a solution when he faces an issue, but this time, it is different. He tries to keep himself rational and sober so he could find a way to make up to Gino, but he feels something is holding him back, badly. It is a heartache. After everything happened within him, Remington and Micah, it has been a long time he hasn't felt this way. It is painful, it is struggling, it is suffocating. He clutches onto his chest as he frowns deeply. It feels like his heart is being seized by a sharp wir
Heddwyn Residence.That night outside Gino's place, Micah and Circe gathered at his door, the two of them each holding an umbrella in their hands. Micah stands at the door knocking on it calling out at him, trying to check if he is home yet, while Circe is on her phone contacting someone else who Gino might go to."Hey C, wassup?" Ryo's voice came in, but his voice sounded unclear while the rain pours louder, "What a wonderful night to have you call me!""Yeah it's wonderful, because it's me who called." sounds as her usual self, she greeted, she then cut straight to the point, "Have you seen Gino today?""G?" asked Ryo in a curious tone, "Nope. Why?""And Hiragi?" Circe continues to ask, "Did Hiragi see him?"<

No one is better than you in this. This is your stage, Red." Seve sighs, "I just never understand why you quit modelling and turned to the backstage. You were so powerful and passionate."Meredith gives Seve a sweet smile, "
Fettkether Hospital.That morning before the sun rises, Gino has eventually come back to his consciousness. In the dark ward, he slowly sits up from the bed, with another attempt, he pulls the infusion tube out of his arm and tries to leave the hospital.While just when he places his feet onto the cold floor trying to get out of the bed, a dark shadow at the middle of the door catches his vision immediately.With a sharp gasp, Gino freezes.There, the ward door is wide opened, and right in the middle of it, there is someone standing still looking right into the ward.Quietly, for a few seconds Gino waited for him to move away from the door so he could go through. But, no matter how long Gino waited, the man did not move. A ch
