It was dark outside. You could almost see nothing in the dark alley way. It almost looked like the shadows were following him. He felt a shiver going down his spine. He hated it around here. Especially when it was such a calm night. It was surprisingly silent in this city today in general, he had never seen it like this, if he remembered correctly.

"You're late, my dear Orenji.", a woman, who just came up behind him, said. When he turned around, he saw that it was a woman with long, blonde hair and blue eyes. He didn't know this appearance, so it could only be a certain someone.

"Nice to see you too, Lily." Lily smiled. "Smart boy. Truce isn't coming today, since she's being watched by that hero again." He laughed and followed Lily through a door inside a small, dirty house. "Is Quinny already there?"

Lily nodded and brought him into a room, where a few people were in already. A young woman with black hair and red eyes. She had white paint in her face and dark makeup on. Then there was a man standing in the left corner. He was rather small and had blond hair and black, deep eyes. Quinny and Reverse.

"Hello Orenji." He nodded towards Reverse in respond and sat down on one of the chairs on the right side of the room. "I think now we are all here." Reverse and himself nodded and Quinny smiled brightly. Reverse sighed. "Lily every time I see you, I need a few seconds to think if it's really you." The black-haired girl in the back laughed and came over to 'Orenji' and sat down on one of the chairs next to him.

The room was so dusty, that it his nose was itching. Couldn't they at least have gotten anything that was a little fancier? Didn't need to be a whole ass apartment, just a regular house for once? He was almost sure he heard some rats behind that wall.

"How is school, Orenji?", Reverse asked calmly. His glasses were reflecting the dim light, so you could only barely see his eyes. He shrugged. "It's okay. My friends don't suspect anything." The blond nodded silently.

"How is that kid doing that we placed in first grade?", Quinny asked, smiling a big, flashy smile. 'Orenji' wondered how she could be so excited about all this. "Murasaki is doing great. It needed a bit to convince her fully, but she won't betray us. I made sure of that together with Truce.", he answered, while leaning back in the chair and trying to ignore the noise those rats made.

"Good. Then let's discuss how we will go on further."


"Are you alright here?", Minthe asked him, as he stood in front of an apartment complex, dressed in streetwear. He nodded, taking a sip from the coffee she just gave him. She sat down onto the bench next to him and stared up to the far-left window in the 6th floor.

"Is that bird on the window yours?", she asked again. "Yes, it is. She really doesn't like being watched, that's what I noticed." Minthe looked at him. "What do you mean? To me, she looks normal." He sighed, running a hand through his white hair.

"Of course, it looks like that to you. But look at her. The way she looks outside the window in the corner of her eyes all the time. Or the way she is being too normal right now." "Maybe that's just because she is normal.", Minthe stated.

She never believed that this woman had something fishy going on or anything. No one in the agency did. The sidekicks began to joke around that the white-haired hero might be secretly in love with the grey-haired beauty. Seriously, who could blame him? The long silky hair, the piercing purple eyes and that body make her unmistakably beautiful.

Although they did joke around a lot about it, they knew he would never be a stalker, even if he would be in love with the woman. So, they decided to accept the sceptics, although they all thought that he should leave the poor woman alone.
