Once Akira had made his way down to the Library, he found Lily seeming to be searching through book after book. Trying desperately to pick something out. Mitsuko and Riku trying hard to stop her from throwing books everywhere.

"No. No. No..Goddammit, I can't find the right book!" She shouted.

"How about maybe stop throwing shit everywhere?!" Riku shouted.

"Shut it, dickcheese!" Lily screamed.

"D-Dick cheese?!" Riku shouted, completely baffled by the nickname given to him.

"Look, Lily. Just calm down, and let's look a bit more carefully." Mitsuko said, as Lily rolled her eyes.

"I don't need the Midget starving himself, dammit!" Lily shouted. "Plus, I'm sick and tired of feeling like the punching bag here, and..Well, even if I have to dish out a few to protect myself, I'm gonna help somehow!"

"Uhh...Lily, are you still rummaging for a book?" Akira asked, with a rather slightly nervous tone to his voice.

Lily turned to Akira.

"No shit, what else am I doing back here? Four Knuckle Shuffle?" Lily asked in an angry tone.

"You know, you really shouldn't be throwing books around back and forth, don't you think?" Akira asked. "You'll just make the Library all-"

"You ain't my parents, so shush. Still..I guess you're right." Lily said, doing her best to clean up everything she threw aside, and managing to find a cookbook finally, before..

She noticed something else on the floor.

"Uhh, Akira?" Lily called out, as Akira walked over.

Riku and Mitsuko took notice, and also began looking down at what Lily found, in complete confusion.

"What is it?" Akira asked, walking over to see just what Lily was pointing at.

The Greatest Inventions of Modern Society

"So? It's a book about inventions of the world." Akira said. "Though..Now that you mention it, this feeling in my chest is growing. To..at least open and see for myself."

Akira picked up the book and scrolled through. Seeing multiple inventions made for the Modern world until..

That's when he found it.

Robotic AI Pals

The moment he saw it..Akiras heart jumped into his throat.

On the Page was a picture..of Monodev?

He however..wasn't his monochrome colors they saw him as. He had the same color as the left side of himself on the right this time, full of life and looking so positive and excited.

Below it, were the words:

The first Invention made within this line of Robotic AI, was made by the Ultimate Programmer Zenkichi Odashi. Made to socialize and fit the needs of those the toy is given to. For now, he is the only known toy to have been made in this form.

"So he was a toy made for someone?" Mitsuko asked. "If that's the case then.."

"Then is Akira the Mastermind?!" Lily asked, darting her eye at Akira.

"W-What?! No! How the hell would I be behind this killing game, and why would I kill my own brother?!" Akira shouted.

"Well, least you're not a Pink Hair Sociopath..That'd be some cliche anime shit right there." Lily snarked.

"Or, you know. It could be someone who stole this invention and is using it against us. Aka the organization who locked us up here?" Mitsuko asked, giving Lily a look of consideration.
