After explaining the situation that had occurred the night before to his friends the following day, Alastair plopped down at his desk and let out a loud yawn.
"Alastair?" A voice called out.
"Hm?" He looked up, noticing Rachael standing in the doorway of her bedroom.
"What is it, Rach?" He asked.
"N-nothing, it's just..." She began hesitantly.
Alastair raised a brow.
"You should probably get some sleep yourself, yes?" She questioned.
"Nope, I'm not tired," Alastair said, brushing her off.
"But, Al...!" Rachael protested.
Suddenly there came a knock at the door.
"Now what..." Alastair grumbled, walking over to the door.
Upon opening it, he was greeted by Paige and Aya.
"Someone is complaining of a disturbance on the maintenance level of the building," Paige began.
"So...?" Alastair questioned with a hint of annoyance.
"We think it's a supernatural being causing the disturbance!" Aya crie

After a few hours had passed and no sign of Alastair returning, Rachael lay in her bed staring up at the ceiling. "Alastair..." She grumbled, rolling onto her stomach. "You called?" A voice suddenly called out. "Ah!" Rachael exclaimed, quickly falling off of her bed. "Is everything okay, kid?" Alastair smiled as he slowly began to close the door to her bedroom. "A-ah, wait, Alastair, you know I hate the dark, please don't close the door!" Rachael pleaded. "What, are you afraid of ghosts?" He laughed. No way... Is the spirit already onto me...?! Rachael thought to herself, her heart pounding. "Oh, relax, would you?" He scolded. Rachael's eyes widened. "I'm just toying with you, that's all!" He grinned, walking over to the girl. "Y-you're not..." Rachael began, her lips quivering as she began backing away. "You're not Alastair, you liar!" She cried out tearfully. A smile slowly crept across Alastair's face.

"Rachael!" A voice cried out. "Rachael, please wake up!" The voice desperately pleaded. As the girl slowly began stirring, she let out a groan. Upon opening her eyes, she was met by Alastair. "R-Rachael...!" He exclaimed tearfully, embracing the girl. "Alastair..." Rachael whispered. "What's up?" Alastair questioned as he gently cradled her in his arms. "Why..." Rachael began, tearing up. "Why didn't you ask for my help...?" Her voice cracked. "R-Rachael..." Alastair sighed, stroking her head. "We are a team, yes?" She looked up at him hopefully. Alastair stared at her for a moment. Despite the near-death experiences the young girl had recently been through, she still wanted to fight by Alastair's side. How could he possibly say no to the girl after all that she had just risked? Alastair closed his eyes, smiling. "Ah, we sure are one hell of a team." He said, leaning his back agai

"Alastair?" A voice called out. "Hey, Alastair!" The voice exclaimed. As Alastair slowly opened his eyes, he was met by Aya, who had a worried expression on her face. "Goodness, you must have been exhausted..." She whispered. "Huh?" Alastair questioned, still half asleep. "Nevermind that, it's already past noon, and here you are sleeping on the floor..." Aya said, shaking her head. "Where's Rachael?" Alastair asked, letting out a yawn. "Ah, Paige took her out to the modeling agency today; she thought getting her out of the house and socializing her might help a bit!" She beamed. "Are you nuts?!" Alastair shouted. "Why, what's wrong with that?!" Aya cried out. "Aya," Alastair began, laughing nervously. "Have you forgotten that that place is searching for Rachael?" He asked, glancing up at her. "W-what place...?" Aya whispered, cocking her head. "Aya, please don't make me say it,"

"M-mm, I just came to take Rachael home," Alastair said. Suddenly Rachael pinched Alastair's hand. "Ow! What was that for, Rachael?!" He cried angrily. "I just wanted to make sure you weren't still possessed, yes?" She said with a giggle. "W-why would I be-" "Paige!" A woman called out. "Hm?" Paige turned around, met by a photographer. "What's up, Marianne?" She questioned. "There's something weird going on inside your dressing room..." Marianne whispered. "Weird in what way...?" Paige raised a brow. "Well, things are randomly floating; it's to

While Aya was busy preparing dinner, there came a knock at her apartment door. "Come in," she instructed. "Hey," a voice called out. Aya quickly turned her head, greeted by Honch. "H-Honch...?" She stammered. "What are you doing here?" She questioned. "Look," he began. "Things got pretty hectic at work, and I know Kiernan's birthday is around the corner, so if you could hand her this and let her know, I said happy birthday," he rambled. Aya stared at him blankly for a moment. "Honch," she began. "Look, Aya, I really have to go; please tell her I said hi and that I'm sorr-" Before he could continue, Aya shook her head. "What would Tessa think of this situation?" She questioned. "I doubt she'd be thrilled to know that you're skipping out on your daughter's birthday," Aya frowned. Honch opened his mouth to respond but quickly shut it. "Honch..." Aya whispered. "Aya," Honch began, looking down at the floor. "I know Tessa wouldn't be happy with me, however," he paused. "I

Pulling up in a parking lot nearby a secluded part of Experiment Labs on the outskirts of Cesa arrived Honch. * "I'm back," Honch announced, walking into the laboratory. "Welcome home, master!" two voices cried out. Stepping out from the shadows came two young adults. One was a young woman appearing to be in her early twenties: the other, a man appearing to be in his mid-twenties. "Say, did you buy any good sweets while you were in town?!" The woman exclaimed. "Did you buy rose petal chips for me, master?!" The man cried eagerly. "No, and no," Honch grumbled as he walked past the two. "Tell me, where is Sev?" He questioned. "What do you need her for?" The woman frowned. "I have a question regarding the spirit regenerator, seeing as she is the only one willing to help me out with it," Honch said, narrowing his eyes. The pair whistled awkwardly.

Alastair groaned as he sat up. "I had a nightmare..." She whispered. Alastair raised a brow. "A nightmare about what?" He questioned. "U-um..." Rachael stammered. "Well, I can't help chase the nightmares away if you won't tell me what they were, Rach," Alastair said with a sigh. "Y-you..." She began choking up. "You died...!" She cried out. Alastair's eyes widened. "R-Rachael..." He muttered. "You went kaboom!" She exclaimed. "Aw, come on, Rach, you know I'm not going to die, so don't worry!" He reassured, stroking her head. "Hmph!"

Rachael whined."I put in some of the work too, yes?" She grumbled, puffing her cheeks.Alastair suddenly looked up.The girl had a point; she had put her safety on the line quite a bit; the least Alastair could do was treat her with some of the money she, too, had rightfully earned."Alright, fine, point made, let's get going then, you haven't eaten breakfast yet," Alastair said as he rose from his seat, stretching his back."Yay!"
