Clank—!
Coming out of Donna's office, the first thing I saw was Kevin standing by the side with his phone in his hand.
He had a lonesome look on his face.
'You had it coming.' I thought before heading out.
Right as I had taken a couple of steps, Kevin called out for me.
"Ren, wait."
"..."
Without saying anything, my footsteps came to a halt.
"Ren, enough of the jokes, I need to talk to you."
Sensing that Kevin's tone was serious, I turned around.
"What is it?"
Putting the phone away, Kevin looked around. His gaze locked on the cameras of the place.
"Hmm, I don't think this is the right place for me to say. Actually, let's meet up on the weekend, outside of the Lock."
Seeing how mysterious he was being, my brows couldn't help but crease.
However, in the end, I nodded my head.
"Alright."
"Thanks."
Lowering his head, Kevin finally took notice of my hand.
"What happened to your hand?"
"Nothing."
Turning around, I raised my hand and bid Kevin goodbye. Even if I told him, he'd eventually find out.
"I'll see you around, I got things to do right now."
"...Okay."
Taking out the card that Donna had given me, I casually flipped it around my hand.
'This is probably going to be a long night.'

Lock, Informatory.
Clank—!
With the sound of the door opening, the nurse raised her head and looked at who had just come into the room.
"Oh, it's you, professor."
Upon setting her sight on the person that had entered the room, a smile appeared on her face. With his usual bowl-cut hair which was now in a bit of a mess and lanky body, Professor Thomas entered the room.
Glancing in the direction of the youth laying down on the bed, the nurse asked.
"You here to check up on him?"
"Yes."
Professor Thomas answered with a smile.
Turning his head, his eyes paused on the youth on the bed.
"How is his situation?" He asked.
"He is doing pretty well."
The nurse replied as she stood up. Walking beside Ricardo, the youth that was currently resting, she casually tapped him on the arm.
A subtle and faint blue hue enshrouded the tip of her finger as she tapped his arm.
"Ugh."
At the exact moment her hand pressed to his arms, with a small sound, Ricardo's eyes which were closed shut slowly started to open.
Blinking a couple of times and glancing toward his left and right, he groggily muttered.
"Where am I?"
"You're at the infirmary."
