It's been a while since joining the Beach, and he has to admit that things hasn't been as bad as before.
Things would have been even better if Hatter would shut his trap about this place being a "Utopia" or Niragi not wave his damn snipper into his face but perhaps that was asking for too much.
Next to him, Six sat on the ledge of the roof as the two overlooked the pool and even from where they were at the sound of music was still heard yet muffled.
The brunette hummed a quiet melody about a moon while he stood and took one more sip of his alcohol.
"Hey In-ho?" He turned his head to the young girl.
"What do you want to do when we get out of here?" Her hazel eyes were unfocused to the people down below.
The man was quiet.
"...See my mother and little brother back in Korea." He said, "You?"
"Well-I've always wanted a dog..." She yawned, "I was never allowed to before but after this who cares anymore."
He hummed around his glass, that did sound nice...
"My mother is a worry wart and my brother, Jun-ho." He swirled his glass with the ice hit the sides of the glass quietly. "Is incredibly stubborn and when he has his mind set on something, there's no going back."
He thought about breaking to the news to his only family of him being fired from the police force. The heartbroken look on his mother's face and the look of disbelief on his bother's...
Six caught his sad smile as he thought back to his family and turning away she stared out into the nothingness for a while.
"He sounds a bit like someone I know..," she muttered and he glanced at her for a second.

On the outside the square looked the same as any other however in this scenario one could say that his expression could have been one of disbelief.
Seven tilted his head at the state of the Van for a moment before questioning, "...What happened this time?"
Standing at attention, One immediately pointed to the young woman knocked out in the passenger seat while Two stood by with the bag of snacks that said girl had "given" as compensation for the trauma.
One didn't say anything but his body language trembled in barely contained frustration.
"You mean this-" The superior points to Six, "girl is the caused of all this damage?"
".." When he puts it that way, maybe they should mention the boar-!
"Your keys," Seven said, his deep voice left no room for debate.
The pair was quiet.
Two watched as One slowly reached into his pocket for a moment held the object above the squares expectant hand. It took a few seconds of hesitation but his grip loosened on them and the keys fell with a soft clink.
Two thought that would be the end of it before their superior turned to him and the worker was confused.
Seven looked to the bag of goodies then back to him.
"..."
"..."
Two was mournful as Seven left, taking with him not only the car key but also the snacks.
Thank the Maker he had the foresight to sneak a few pieces into his pocket.
Behind his mask, Two sighed as he gave his partner space to deal with his internal screaming and pulled out a black scanner to begin checking the passengers, completely oblivious to a shaking van nearby.

Slipping the keys into his pocket, Seven ignored the intense stares of the other squares in the room as he set the bag of treats in the counter and began examining the number of the players returning.
When it got to a familiar profile of the young girl, the man studied it for a bit and remembered her from the RedLight, GreenLight and the Voting. Seven tried to figure out how someone so small was able to do so much damage.
Looking up, he noticed a lone Circle and eyes narrowed the Square motioned to a Triangle Solider to follow him.
Down below, Jun-ho felt his hands shaking as he held onto the railing after dumping the body overboard with a loud SPLASH.
"Hey you!"
He froze.
The sounds of heavy boots drew closer and turning around the young police officer slowly backed away from the railing as a Triangle Solider drew near with a riffle at the ready. Seven followed close behind.
Beathing shakily, Jun-ho apologised. "Sorry, I got seasick..."
The Square was unimpressed and the gunman backed away as the man moved closer to the point that Jun-ho was worried that he would have been able to see through his disguise.
"Did you forget the rules..?" Seven's displeasure was loud and clear. "You do not speak unless your superior allows you too."
The Circle didn't respond, as he should.
"Go standby in the cabin."
When the two left, Jun-ho let out a breath that he was holding and the young Korean wondered exactly what the heck has his brother gotten into...
