IT TOOK twenty -four hours before the team found them. While inside the car, first Archon continues to convince Ara to see a doctor.

"Ara is sick?" Salem asked, then checked Ara's temperature. "She doesn't seem to have a fever?!."

"Wala nga akong sakit at hindi ako nababaliw!" Ara exclaimed.

"I didn't say you were crazy, I just wanted you to do therapy-"

"My decision is still not."

"It's an order for the third highest rank position in Agercia ... and it is your obligation to obey my command" Zandro exclaimed threateningly.

"Just follow the first archon, Ara", Than convince her.

Ara did nothing but follow the wishes of the first Archon. She then regretted telling a few details about her personal life.

For her, the camp of the first Archon was still hostile because he was a member of the organization that killed her parents. "I shouldn't have just said anything," she thought. She also notices that often she can no longer control her emotions, the longer it takes she may lose herself.

The doctor is a woman, so she didn't have a hard time dealing with her.

"We're done with the general check-up but I just have a question."

"S-sure... What is it, Doc?"

"You know that I am also a member of Agercia... Am I right?"

"Y-yeah?."

"I was there when you fought to get into this organization... I was impressed because of your strength and fighting skills-"

"What are you pointing at?" Ara cuts to what the Doctor has to say.

The Doctor leaned back in the swivel chair before speaking "There is a dashcam attached to each member of Zandro's team every time they fight... I saw how you fought them... I also saw how you kill your opponents... My question is, what do you feel every time you fight?"

"A-anger" she stuttered "I feel angry every time an innocent person dies ... but it leads to the point that I can no longer control myself. When I am enveloped in rage, that also gives me strength to fight but leads to ruthless killing- the reason why I can't stop myself from thinking that I'm a heartless murderer of these people" she uttered. The doctor sighed deeply, then ended the session.

She is just waiting for the result of her check-up. And just as she expected, the whole team was there, with her waiting for the result.

"You all don't have to be here at all," she said, then looked at every person present in the room.

"We were just worried about you-" ani Salem.

"Me too", Than added.

"W-hat?" Zyl exclaimed as Ara's gaze landed on him. "Zandro says you are a family?, do I have a choice ?!." Ara couldn't help but glare at them.

The doctor came out and brought the result. everyone stood up and wanted to know the result. Ara just frowned "What the hell!" she murmured.

"The result of the general check-up, she just needs to be careful and take vitamins to regain her strength...." The Doctor said.

"That's it?-" ani Zandro.

"Nope," Doctor Jhang said, then she turned her gaze to Ara. "You have Intermittent explosive disorder, Ara."

"What does that mean?" Zandro asked.

"It is a syndrome caused by outbursts of rage, aggression, or violence. This is a type of condition in which you cannot control your emotions. And it makes you a killing machine", Doctor Jhang added.
