My quarters feels strange, I lived here for a while now, I will miss my neighbourhood even if it can sound strange to normal people. I know the criminality of it is very high but what can I say? I was also a criminal. Some of them fell into crimes because they had no other choice. There are also people like me who choose to become evil and those who like it. I changed myself before going to the alley. I saw new Ninjas members. Their boss spoke out of nowhere for telling me he thought I would come back. He was right, I was here. He asked who I was. I didn't exactly answer his question:

"I already have been beaten by your men the first time I entered this place. But you see, someone innocent came here without knowing anything at all to end up almost beaten to death. You could tell he was not aware of this world by the gift bag he held and I could bet my hand in a blaze he was having a smile glued to his face".

"I heard my members committed wrong moves. I apologize on their behalf" he admitted.

"That's okay. For me, I let them do but I took revenge dor the student" I informed him.

He asked if we were quits, we were. I shook his hand, then, he affirmed even though I took revenge he would punish them. So I choose to warn him:

"You know for messing with me they already have a sword Damocles over their head. I apologise at my turn but because of me, you could have trouble".

"Don't worry every criminal is ready to face problems. A true one should be ready to face the law if it comes to him," he conceded.

"Don't send your members to prison, even though it will probably relieve the student, it's not safe for them. Someone is after me," I admitted.

He asked me who but I didn't have the answer myself I told him what I could like probably a bad guy with a lot of power at least. He then asked if he has found me so I told the truth, he was close and I was leaving that was why I came to see him that night and not later. He wished I stayed safe, I requested he protects his members. He will. I went back home for getting ready to join Dewei as promised.

Later I arrived at Dewei's house so I rang the bell. I could bet if he had his two legs functional he would have jumped on me when he discovered me at the door. "You're here!!" he yelled. what was this mania to be astonished I'm here... He was looking so fine he was wearing a white top under a jean jacket and black denim. On the opposite, I was wearing all black and comfy clothes as my hoodie, even if my shirt was light grey it was not visible under it. Suddenly, he lead me somewhere he wanted to show me, the house library. Obviously, accordingly to the house's size, the library was huge. He asked me if I had one at home, how to say I have a big bookcase but not a library room itself. He concluded I have a lot of books not false but he had a lot more than I do. He offered me the book of my choice in all of this but I asked how I was supposed to choose in this amount of book. He informed me it was organized by category, it reminded me of the police case and his case. "Is there a book without a category?" I wondered. I learnt there wasn't but there was a category called diverse because books don't fit only one of them. So he leads to this section. I found a book about boats, how could he not have a category? Dewei informed me it was stories, it had a lot of different things inside in fact as pics, stories, manuals or even music. I do find it interesting.

I noticed another one when I took it he got it away from my hand asking to go to the next one. It got me curious why he was hiding it. It was supposed to definitely not be interesting. I was more interested and I confessed I already have read its title "Learn how to flirt and win in a fight, become the stronger one". Such a long and boring title. He asked to pass again, so I teased him "aren't you supposed to know how to become the stronger one and win in a fight?" but it doesn't seem fun to him. So I took the book from his hands and put it back in its place before informing him I didn't want to take another of his books. Dewei was confused so I recalled him 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think. He recalled: "Brianna west's book I offered you". After humming I declared loving spending quiet time like that. He told me I have thought out loud again but I knew, his cheeks went red before claiming I didn't need the last book, and maybe he should read it. He left the room. As I had a paper in my pocket, I don't remember how, though, I wrote a note "You finally choose to read it? Why? :) ". Then I joined him. The rest of the night was joyful for both of us, Clariss has a lot of fun to give. I discovered her sense of humour.
