~~~
I went back to the inn where Alex used to work. However, when I got there, the place was already closed.
"The owner is not there right now."
A stranger approached me out of nowhere to inform me that there was no one inside and since someone happened to pass by the inn at the right timing, I took this opportunity to ask the other party as well if he happened to see Alex by chance.
"I am looking for a young man. He was about this tall and has black hair."
I gestured in the air
" Ohh.. him? He already packed his bags and left."
He told me before he walked out
"What? He left?"
I blurted out and I was left wondering to myself
"When? Where did he go?"
I called him out to ask for direction
"He just left and he went this way."
The guy pointed to the opposite direction where he was going and I no long

Shantal wakes up slowly, immediately noticing that she is in a strange environment. She looks out into a void surrounding her, leaving her in complete darkness, except for a small light in the distance. Shantal approaches slowly, seeing that there is a dark figure standing there, appearing to be her height. As she approaches, the dark figure slowly gets taller and taller, now being around Alex's height, however, she is still a few yards away. Still bravely striding, Shantal makes her way closer, now being able to see a dark-colored armor, with an odd and curved weapon in their hand. Now, mere feet from the black figure, she notices that he is taller than Alex, perhaps three feet even! The weapon is a large double-sided scythe, and the figure, who appears male, is breathing slowly, his eyes closed, his thick and messy dark brown hair blowing in a nonexistent wind. Shantal is now inches from the dark knight, her body reflecting back, except showing an electric aura surrounding her, an

Shantal hears the sky crackle loudly, almost thunderous, and looks up to see four blue dots, all in a line, fall from the sky. The ground shakes and cracks as another mech appears, this one with a large machine gun on its back. The chest of the new mech opens, revealing a solider that Shantal has felt like she's seen before, but gets a headache when thinking about it too much."Soldier of the Emperor's Union, this is Splitter of the Galactic Federation of Order. You are on a GFO controlled planet with no authorization. What is your purpose?"The man who just landed says, in a deep and distorted voice. The hatch of the black sword wielding mech opens in response, the man in the leather jacket now has a helmet like that of Splitter, with only minor differences in the visor and decals."This is Jack Tesla of the Emperor's Union. I came here to watch a man die, but I'm also in the mood to make someone die."The sword

I'm sorry, but is that a threat? Splitter says, now closing the chest of the mech and pulling out his machine gun, revving it up. It's not a threat buckaroo. It's a promise. Jack replies, pointing the katana at Splitter, spinning it in his fingers as if it were a pencil. Well, come at me then. Splitter says, now revving the engine more, the gun ready to expel bullets from the many chambers. Jack now aims his sword to his side, running toward Splitter at an amazing speed for a large chunk of metal. Bullets start spewing out of Splitter's machine gun, making Jack strafe from side to side, occasionally cutting and blocking bullets that came close to the mech with his sword. Jack, now a yard away, aims his sword for the killing blow, the chest of the mech. Splitter, thinking quickly, ducks his mech low and stabs the mech in the stomach, located a few feet below the pilot's cockpit, and lifts Jack's mech into the air, it's arms flailing, trying to hit Splitter."Welp

/ few minutes later, Mr. Jameson puts his hand on her shoulder." Shantal, I suggest you hurry. By my calculations, he only has a few minutes left in this existence."He says, giving her a slight pull in the direction of the hospital."Splitter, while we do this, call the cleanup crew."Mr. Jameson says to Splitter before walking with Shantal toward the front doors. Shantal 's gaze is still affixed on the area where Jack landed, seeing no movement. She sheds a silent tear before turning toward the doors of the hospital as they enter, Shantal hardly prepared to say her goodbyes. After talking to the receptionist, Shantal and The Revenant walk to the elevators, going to the 13th floor, and entering room S-17. A slow beeping can be heard from the EKG as they walk past the door frame. A slow beeping can be heard from the EKG as they walk past the door frame. Mr. Jameson pulls back a curtain

"I will just be dropping you off. I have a lunch date with the generals of the GFO. Steve and Trevor are still here, and Steve is prepared for your arrival to comfort your emotions."He says, looking a little saddened, but still having a mainly blank expression. Shantal nods to this and gets out, closing the door behind her.She walks up the driveway, and while nearing the door, she hears some joyous yelling, coming from a voice she feels like she's heard before, but it's muffled enough for her to not be able to properly discern who it is. She rings the doorbell, and hears everything go quite, except for some light footsteps getting nearer to the door.The door swings open, revealing an ecstatic Amy, who's smile drops the moment she sees Shantal. "Oh, look who it is. Sorry honey, but Trevor is mine, and judging from the way Steve was talking about you, you can take all those flowers and invite to the prom back home. Maybe daddy

Shantal starts to sob now, falling to her knees, the tears flowing down like a river during a flood. Amy kneels down to her level, getting a sorrowful and remorseful look in her eyes. "Wait, why are you crying. It was just a joke. Steve has only said nice things." Amy says, now looking confused. "The person closest to the concept of a being a father figure to her just died. She just came from the hospital."Trevor says, his voice dark like it was when Shantal intruded earlier.Amy looks between Trevor and Shantal, each glance looking more and more regretful than the last. She immediately hugs Shantal, holding her, almost lovingly. "I am so so sorry. Please forgive me. Forgive me for everything I've ever done." Amy says, almost crying herself. Shantal shakes as she replies. "I never held a grudge." She says, tightening her embrace with Amy. After holding this for a moment, Shantal breaks the hug, standing up and helping Amy to h

"This isn't what I think it is, is it?" She says smirking, thinking it is a mini nuclear reactor, a component needed for a private project, of which she has only told Steve about the pieces necessary to complete it. "In a way. Just open it up." He says, a smile on his screen. Trevor pulls out his gun, looking cautiously at it. "Be careful sis, last time Steve gave me a gift that size, it was a kitten and it scratched me all over." Trevor says, pointing to a small and faint scar on his cheek. Shantal opens the box, the smirk turning to a warm smile. She pulls out a small crocheted doll that has an uncanny resemblance to her butler. She looks up at Steve, a tear in her eye. "This is amazing." She says, holding it close to her chest with a small hug. "That's what a boyfriend is for." He says with a thumbs up.Steve takes a seat next to Shantal, who is still admiring the doll Steve made for her. Trevor yawns "I think it's time to go to bed." He pats Am

For almost a month or so, Shantal drifted in and out of her consciousness, again, exactly just like what happened to her when she got her first breakdown followed by her robot's departure. At the same time, during the most part of that 'on and off sleeping phase', Shantal also happened to be engrossed in a specific type of dream which were consisted of nonetheless her past life, the present time as well as a few of those absurd moments she has no recollection of experiencing ever in her life. Basically, her dream was mostly regarding the life that she once used to have with Steve, who apparently was the first robot she happened to fell in love with way before she even got to meet Alex. However, unlike the same old dreams that she often usually had before, this time, it was kind of different; much like of a twist because instead of being teleported back in time and being forced to relive the events, which not to mention she dreaded to remember in the first place, Shantal thi

When he looked at the other two guys, he saw them gesturing to their head but he did not give them much attention."Yes.Sam repeated the same thing with a voice and face devoid of emotion."Something needs fixing."Harold told Sam afterward and so Sam fought back to urge to do and eye roll before replying flatly to him."Okay."This time, Harold noticed that Rico and Michael still keep on doing the same thing so he asked them instead,"What?

Jodi on the other hand who was watching all of this farce unfold right before her eyes, could not help but let out a sigh."You sure are made for each other."She said to no one in particular and it was also as seemed she was only talking to herself."Anyway.

Jiro was also there along with other board members."The agenda is the dismissal of Director Shantal Nordstorme and the cause is as you were all informed.

After all, the two of them never talked to each other for ages.Jiro used to be a good friend of hers as well. Just like how she and Shantal were cousins, Jiro and and Zorens were first cousins too so naturally all four of them get to know each other and as a child, they eventually became acquaintances in no time.Besides, since Zoren's parents were a family friend of the Nordstorme they often had an opportunity to hang around during their childhood.However, ever since the day Zoren committed suicide due to the incident regarding the Nordstorme controversy, Jiro also stopped communicating with them.So this made Jodi wonder what had come to Jiro to decide and phone her at this time of the night.But

Although he also did not directly implied that he would do it.Nonetheless, Secretary Ye considered his response as a good sign. At least, the other party was no longer adamant at turning them down.So with the same insinuating manner, she answered him back."That would make it easier for you to do your duties once you become a director. All that was left for you now is to leave Ms. Shantal Nordstrome no other choice but to step down and abdicate the position of board directory to your hands.""Ousting her is not enough.

"You told Jodi about everything?"Mathilde asked her secretary as soon as the two of them were finally allowed to have some private conversation within the prison hall where she was currently detained. Panic was noticeably present on the other party's face when she raised her question. Meanwhile, the secretary remained silence yet that was all enough for Mathilde to guess her response and not long after that, her shoulders dropped on the side when the realization hit her."I guess she was bound to find out about it sooner or later."She muttered under her breath with despondent undertone.An exasperated sigh escaped Mathilde's lips afterward. But then, she suddenly tenses up when she recalled about something else.Leaning towards the other party all the while grabbing a hold to the iron bars, Mathilde looked around her warily first to make sure that no ears were on them.Only when she confirmed for the umpteenth time that no one was listenin
