Welcome to my attempt at a publishing schedule! I am hoping to at least get a new part done every month, but if its done sooner then it will be posted then. My laptop is still unfixed, and may remain that way. I have returned to mobile for now however.

You wake up to see hunter eating lunch in the kitchen, looking tired.
(Richard)"Well good morning or afternoon. How was sleep?"
You ask as he chuckles
(Hunter)"Shitty. I couldn't stop thinking about what the fuck happened last night"
He says as you nod
(Richard)"They are not like that. Somethings up and I want to figure it out sooner rather than later."
You say as he shrugs
(Hunter)"Well nothing we can do now. Wanna go over there and get food?"
He says as you yawn and shrug
(Richard)"Sure, but let me sleep more. wake me up at about 4 okay? We go then."
You say as he gives you a thumbs up and you lay back down, falling back asleep shortly after as you feel yourself falling. You fall for longer than you liked before you eventually land, feeling a familiar warmth as you see the inside of a home and Mari sitting in a chair, head tilted back
(Mari)"You finally arrived. It took you long enough"
She says as you get up and dust yourself off as you sit down in the soft chair
(Richard)" I got here as fast as possible. Traffic was a bitch as usual"
You say as she smiles
(Mari)"I didn't have to hide your body after last night. Good job on that"
She says as you shrug
(Richard)"That was the hardest thing I've done in a while. What was that?"
You say as she loses her smile
(Mari)"Straight to business. Nice. That there is some system bug that happens every once in a while. Its usually every few years of operation. I think it may be some way the system chooses to reset a part of its code."
She says as you start thinking about what she had said
(Richard)"Why in the world would it do that?"
You ask as she thinks for a moment
(Mari)"Ah yes. Mairusu told me that because of a safeguard he has, it makes sure we wont be controlled as it will automatically activate under circumstances of tampering or change without permission from him or from the system itself. It attempts to save itself by becoming violent to any potential threats"
She explains as you sit there thinking about it all
(Richard)"For what the girls are, that makes so much more sense. Why am I under the curtain of a threat to them?"
You ask her as she shrugs
(Mari)"Beats me. The system chooses based on parameters I don't even know"
She says as you sigh
(Richard)"It seems I'm being woken up. I will be over to see ya later"
You say as she says something, but your mind is pulled from subconsciousness as you see Hunter standing above you
(Hunter)"Up time. I want to go get pizza for dinner"
He says as you nod and grab a comb from the table next to your couch space, fixing your hair into something suitable as you look in the mirror, seeing a scruffy, sleep-deprived man looking back at you as you get some shaving cream and a razor, doing a quick clean up and looking much better as Hunter sits on the couch, tapping his foot as you walk out
