Her eyes scans the spacious room, still wondering why on Earth she even agreed to come here with him of all people even with Shuichi and Rei's refusal.

The room seemed to be inspired by modern mixed with a hint of Japanese architecture just like much of the rest of the huge mansion. A giant crystal chandelier hung from the center of the ceiling, being the one thing you'll see from when you first enter the room. The ceiling to floor windows allows the moonlight to illuminate the room, though the lighting from the giantic orientic bamboo lamps that is scattered all over the place is already more than enough.

"May I finally asked why we're the ones supposed to be gathering information when it is not your specialty? As far as I've heard, Bourbon is the most talented at that, Gin." Sumire or who the man she have her arm hooked with would address as Nike or Rosè questioned, tired from Gin's constant denial of telling her a thing earlier. Her black lacy dress stood out among the bright colorful dresses the other ladies wore at the party. What completes the look however, is the silver band that now sat on her left hand and her silver earrings that acts as an ear piece that connects to Rei who is her superior in a sense. The 'ash blonde' haired female is still sporting her knee brace, though it somehow went well along with the other elements of her outfit.

She ran her fingers through her hair in feign boredom, her stormy 'grey' eyes stilled in Gin's presence next to her but her actions halted when she saw the look on his eyes. She could suddenly feel as if her heart is repeatedly hammering through her chest, trying hard not to faint right there and then when she felt a migraine took over her head. She could barely realize Gin's next words as the exhaustion from their previous mission just a few hours ago started to kick in.

"Who said anything about we? I will be the only one questioning you." The silver haired male smirked, taking her wrist and starting to pull her away from the guests scattered all over the room. Rei's shouts could be heard from the other side of the line but the brown haired agent couldn't even gather the slightest energy to reply back. Easily pulling her along as if he knew that she wouldn't be able to even struggle and as soon as they turned into a dark hallway, she blacked out.

Gin smirked before half heartedly carrying her, knowing for a fact that she would not woke after taking such a high dose drug.

"Rats will soon be exterminate." He stated as he went straight to the room where something is waiting for Rosé.

"Do you believe in aliens?" Sumire suddenly blurted out with her gaze still glued to the ceilling of Rei's tiny apartment. Beside her is Rei with Haro and Dame laying asleep right on their feet on his bed.

Rei blinked in confusion before lifting his face nuzzled in her neck to properly face her, still drowsy as he just came from work late at night but of course not wanting to miss even a second of Sumire being... not tense nor as weird as a Kudo could get - remembering him of that one time she put in vitamin pills into a vegetable soup as if all sanity finally left her - at all.

"What..?" He questioned as he tightened his hold on her waist. The puppy like look of confusion on his face made Sumire to also blink, getting a bit anxious with her question before relaxing once she felt Rei gently rubbing her sides to calm her down.

An oath to keep with a final breath he says, she have always been so tense, I don't want her to feel as though everything in her life have to be like that. So, I'll do my best.

Sumire smiled, feeling secured with his arms wrapped around her.

"In times like this in the night, someone have to say something weird, right? So, do you?" She awkwardly said in a much lower tone than usual, causing Rei to hum as he nuzzle his head back in her smooth neck. He breathe in her calming scent before answering.
