Redemption | Unordinary |

Broken...(Bonds?)

In New Bostin, everything was progressing smoothly. The hierarchy was intact, but that was to be expected. Compared to Wellston, the amount of conflicts the authorities had to handle seemed trivial.

It was a lousy Sunday afternoon in the town's city center. "The spring sure is lovely" Claire thought as she took a small sip out of her freshly-made beverage. Her light-green hair were cut rather short compared to the past, to the point where they barely manage to reach her shoulders.

She was accompanied by her close friend, Adrion who despite his complaints,eventually gave up on her best friend's demands and decided to escort her during her afternoon walk. The blonde's appearance hadn't changed much over the years, since he still kept his unruly spiky hair.

As they continued their walk in one of the many parks New Bostin had to offer, Claire's eyes lightened up abruptly indicating that her ability, Clairvoyance, was about to give her another vision. After all those years, she still didn't control it entirely, causing her sudden visions, out of practically nowhere. Although, most of them were simple, judging from her sudden change of behavior,what she saw was no laughing matter. She clenched her chest, as her breathing rate increased. Her vision started becoming blurry, like she was trying to see through a foggy atmosphere.

Adrion noticed that she grew more detached from the environment around her,as the time passed."She is having another panic attack" he concluded.Being already used on handling her friends hyperventilation problems, he helped her sit in a nearby bench.

"Don't worry, I'm here for you. Just keep breathing for me." Adrion instructed her calmly. Claire followed his instructions and gradually,her breathing started returning to regular rates. Despite, the grace of her now calmed-appearance it seemed like something she had observed in her vision was clearly bothering her.

"I-" Claire mumbled

"It's alright if you don't wanna talk about it" Adrion assured her, placing a firm hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry, I can manage. We have been through worse" she sighed as she gave him a pained smile.

"Here it goes" Claire thought

"John is coming back to New Bostin" 

"WHAT?" 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few minutes before, on New Bostin's airport, John's airplane had just landed. Without any unexpected turbulences during his flight, John was able to get some decent hours of sleep. The bags under his eyes had started to faintly recede thanks to the increasing amount of sleep he got over the last few days.

"So you actually know how to sleep" his inner voice sarcastically said

"Why can't you just...let me have something nice for once?" John retorted at the voice

"No can't do, sorry"

"Since you are here, tell me. Have I gone completely crazy? Why do you keep popping at random moments?"

"Well that's for me to know, and you to find out" the voice mockingly continued

"Great, I have had enough *ssholes in my daily life. Now I get to have one inside my head."

"You get what you deserve trash"

"Who taught you that wo-"
