"Xiaoo, how are you doing?" Aether smile looking into Xiao eyes as if he's expecting something in return. Well apparently, yes he is expecting for something since Xiao is one of the agent who would went outside and is able to see whatever the outside world is and always surprise him with stuff Aether never seen.

Xiao hand out out a gadget that look pretty fragile and old with 2 lens on it. "For me? :P" Aether grab the gadget with no hesitation and immediately inspect it. Excited to know more about it. "How does this thing work Xiao? It looks so old. Is it even still working". He pressed on a button on top of it which later snap out a bright flash. "Ugh!" He drop it as a reaction from the sudden flash retreating as if it bring harms to him just to alert himself.

Xiao pick it up and showed it to Aether how to use it exactly. "This is a camera. You use it to capture picture so you can keep it as memories. This lens is supposed to be facing you or the thing you want to capture and you press the button when you're ready. The flash helps to get a better view and lightning. No worries it wont harm you" he said calmly as he passed it to Aether.

This time Aether take it with hesitation being alert. Once the camera is in his hand he raise it up so the lens is facing Xiao just like what Xiao explained he then pressed the button and it flashed. A picture was slowly printed out and he held it up showing nothing but a pitch black view. "Xiao why is it-" his sentence was cut when Xiao grab his hand and blew on the picture. Aether watches as Xiao softly blew on it making his hand to slightly feel the warm heat.

"You can blew on it or shake it. The dark thing are just dust" still acting cold. "Woa.. You look really fascinating Xiao!". He then turn to look at a random agent still having their mask on and called them out "Hey! You there". The guy then turn around pointing to himself in hesitation to confirmed if Aether was calling for him. Aether immediately held the camera up and snap a pic of that guy "Ehehe this is pretty fun"

Suddenly Xiao snatched the camera from him and glare at Aether with a cold look approaching his face "You shouldn't waste it by taking other peaople picture.. I brought this for you and only you so I can also enjoy looking through your pictures"

Aether blink at those words processing then secretly starts to reddened and gulps his saliva. "I will, remember your words Xiao" he said forcing himself to smile and slowly retreating.

"Well I guess I gotto go right now haha"  he said awkwardly as he turn around. Before Xiao could reply or do anything Aether collapsed and fall to the ground dropping the camera he was holding shocking everyone around.

For a second everything around Xiao stop as if it freeze and his only focused at that time is Aether laying on the ground. He stand up and immediately run for Aether who was surrounded just to see him gasping for air sweating. "X-Xiao, I can't breath" he struggle with tears. "Alert the emergency staff now!" without waiting any further he scoop Aether up and carried him in bridal style running to the emergency room.

The same random guy who was called by Aether just now watch from far as Xiao hurried to the hallway that lead to rhe emergency room. Behind the mask was a boy with a white hair tied in short ponytail with red strip and red eye...
