THE TRUTH COMES OUT
TIME SET:Present, 2023

GILGAMESH AND THENA practically live in the middle of a deserted area, having nothing around the home for miles. Everything is dry from the constant heat being radiated onto it from the sun shining high above them all. As well as that, tall mounds of earth can be seen in the far distance, a direct cut between the clear blue sky and the dry ground. Patches of dry and dead bushes are frequent in the dips of the hard ground, having no moisture from rainwater to keep it alive and healthy.
As the group walk forwards to make their way over to the lonely house, Reyna instantly catches sight of the dead Deviant practically laying in the front yard. She grimaces at the sight of the creatures guts spilled out onto the hard ground, it being the only source of moisture that it's gotten recently. Eyes remain closed as it's head is curled peacefully into the sand beneath its body. Karun is quick to jog towards the unmoving deviant where he then directs the camera at its body.
"This the Deviant that you fought in London?" Kingo asks.
"It's different." Ikaris replies. "There must be more out there than we originally thought."
"Is this a Deviant, sir?" Karun questions, receiving a nod in response. "It's a beautiful creature!"
"What? This? No, it's hideous!" Kingo argues. "You haven't had one try to bite your head off."
Reyna lightly laughs at the two before following after the others as they make their way to the front door of the house. Kingo can be heard rambling on to the camera about who Gilgamesh and Thena are, along with how powerful they are. Reyna just walks up to the wooden door where she then gently knocks at it to grab the pair's attention from inside the house. A shout can be heard from behind as Kingo attempts to introduce Gilgamesh to the camera, failing to get the timing accurate.
However, after the second shout, the wooden doors swing open to now reveal Gilgamesh standing there. A white apron with pink straps is securely wrapped around around his body, indicating that he's been cooking food for himself and Thena to eat. There are flowers imprinted on the bottom of the apron, along with the words 'kiss the cook' in the direct centre. An impressed look is worn of Gilgamesh's face while he glances between each of them before suspiciously eyeing the camera being pointed at him.
