Nate: Regarding the incident the other day, a kid died ahead of her time.

Brandon: Is that the kid from the 8th floor?

Nate: Yes.

Kent: what's up with these kids this time that the higher-ups are visiting the area?

Nate:  asked for their presence?!

Malcolm: How come kids can just summon them anytime, anywhere?

Nate: The strong desire to do so, makes them respond to these callings.

Malcolm: Ain't kid,  a teen with vast curiosities.

Kent: What do you mean by ain't kid?

Malcolm: 16 years to be exact, curiosity level is at its peak.

Nate: Humans are adventurous both physically and mentally. 

I, check some of the background of this kid. What catches me the most is when she loses all hope and turns to the other side for salvation.

Kent: Salvation? asking on the wrong side?

Malcolm: that is why higher beings like reapers are interested. it's like you don't have an innate special, but manage to summon them.

Nate: The intensity and desire to manifest.

8th Floor

Yesterday

Lance entered one of the rooms, and saw a figure sitting on the floor with visible writings around it.

Ancient Language and Symbols.

Lance: Another Human who begs for attention in which they don't know or have any idea what the hell they are doing?!

the figure opens its eyes and saw Lance was standing now in front of her but outside the circle in which she drew earlier.

" Who are you?"

Lance: Humans..

as he rolled his eyes with disbelief.

" who are you? are you from my parents company?!"

Lance was still silent.

" what do you want from me?  you come to the wrong place! "

Lance is still looking straight at the figure.

Lance: What's your name kid?

" I'm not a kid!"

Lance: I SAID WHAT IS YOUR NAME!

lights flicker continuously and dark energy is felt in the room.

" Maria "

NURSE's LOUNGE

Jae, saw Renes was at the Lounge too prepping for duty.

Jae: How are you now?

Renes didn't say a word, but continuously fixed her things.

Then suddenly,

Renes: Hard, but still coping.

Jae also gets her things in the locker.

Jae: How about the kids? I am sure they are suffering too.

Renes: I know. Especially Clint, my first Born. Though he doesn't say anything I am sure he is big enough to observe everything.

Jae: kids will always be the ones who will suffer in silence.

Renes: I am just trying to be strong for them.
