The Author's POV

Rustle—!

Kevin pushed the sheets to the side of the bed before slowly getting out of bed and putting on his clothes. During the time that he spent changing his clothes, he could make out the sound of Emma's faint breathing behind him.

After donning his pants and shirt, he made his way slowly towards the window of the room and stared out at the clear sky.

It was still very early in the morning, and the sun was just beginning its ascent over the horizon; an orange tint covering the lower ends of the world.

All sorts of complicated thoughts flashed across Kevin's mind as he gazed at the sky.

The world…

It was filled with an utter sense of tranquillity and silence.

'If only this can last for longer...'

Kevin was aware that this state of calm wouldn't last for very long and that the world would once again descend into anarchy in a matter of time.

"I guess I should get started."

Taking his eyes away from the horizon, he quickly turned his attention back to Emma and sat down on her desk. Taking out a pen, he began writing on the paper before folding it neatly and placing it in a small envelope that vanished at the flick of his finger.

"That's one done."

The moment the envelope left, he wrote a new one and repeated the same process.

Kevin kept doing the same thing over and over, and it wasn't until he heard Emma's voice that he finally stopped.

"What are you doing?"

Kevin broke into a smile when he felt someone or something gently embrace him from behind.

"I'm only working on a few things. It won't take me long to complete. Just give me an hour."

"Mhm, sure…"

Emma let go of Kevin and headed out of the room.

Crack—!

The instant that she left the room, Kevin's smile vanished, and the pen that he was holding snapped in half.

"…I fucked up."

The streets of Ashton city were bustling with activity as the sun blazed brilliantly in the sky above. Ivana was out and about in the city when her appearance attracted the attention of pedestrians near her.

She was currently concealing her face with a pair of large sunglasses, but the fact that she had long red hair and was tall was not something she could hide. As a result, those who were walking next to her were naturally drawn to her appearance.
