Third person POV: The evening passed, Hirō and Azzy decided that Bethany should stay for the night so that they could look out for her since she still feels dizzy because of what happen and *Azzirō have the perfect personality to play the role of ✨The Protective Parent(s)™✨(e/n: *it's a duo name). Flattered, Bethany stated:

-"Y-you guys really didn't have t-"

-"Oh shush, you! It's my pleasure to do so" Azzy interrupted and Hirō nodded as a sign of agreement. In fact, Azzy kept on pampering Bethany as if she was her own child that Hirō didn't know what else to do but to envy his childhood friend

-"Oh, I wish someone could give me attention like that..." he mumbled to himself in a corner of the room

-"C'mon, Hirō! Do not become so dramatic, said Azzy, I could play more of those bizarre space warrior video games with you later."

Hirō's eyes widen. "H-how did you-?" Azzy turned around to face him with "the look" and replied by poking the side of her head with her index finger and then went back to the kitchen to make this soup that Hirō taught her how to make.

Later in the evening, Bethany went to sit on the roof of the house. Hirō saw her looking at the stars while sipping some hot tea. He took it as an advantage to sit down next to her to talk.

-"Oh! Hi, there..." she said

-"Yeah,...hi." he answered in a muffled voice "What are you up to?"

Bethany sighed "Nothing in particular..."

Hirō couldn't help but feel guilty because of what happened so he started to apologize to her

-"Hey..., she interrupted, you don't have to feel bad, I forgive you."

Hirō was surprised that she forgave him that quickly (e/n: I mean, he saw himself as jerk that bad). Bethany told him to walk it off but she giggled as she saw how her childhood friend was still wishing the earth would swallow him up.

She then stared off to the distance and started:

-"You like her a lot, don't you?" she asked

Surprised by the question, Hirō tried denying it but Bethany can tell that he was lying

-"I saw the both of you floating in mid-air with a string connected to your fingers,..."

Hirō became mortified at the thought of her reaction of that time.

-"You don't have to deny it, she's your soulmate." said Bethany

An awkward silence invaded between them. After a long session of occasional tea-sipping and stargazing, Hiro decided to break the ice.

-"I've been thinking about Dad... Wonder what's he doing up there..."
