Larota went back to the lair. She sighed and went to the dojo. Hopu was meditating.

Larota: Master, are you awake?

Hopu: Yes I'm awake. But I think you should explain to me why you are. {Larota can be heard sitting next to Hopu.}

The camera slowly turns to Larota. She had her chest to her knees.

Larota: I-I just Don't know what to do Master. {The camera points to her face.} I tell them not to get hurt and follow orders but they Don't listen. I know I'm not the leader but I-... I just can't anymore. I'm tired of running away but I'm not ready to fight yet. You said it yourself. The first time we we're faced with danger I couldn't save everyone... {She started to put her hand on her eye that had a scar but changed her mind.} Do I even...

(Cut to hopu who had worrieness in her eyes. Then cut back to Larota.)

Larota: Do I even belong here. {She looked at Hopu with teary eyes. The camera faces Hopu.}

Hopu: Oh my child. {She hugs Larota tightly. She does the same} Of course you do! I didn't make Venus the leader because you weren't good enough. I did it because I thought this would give you a break.

Larota: If anything it makes me more worried.

Hopu: I know but one day It will all come together. I am never wrong my child.

Larota: But what if it doesn't and I'm stuck worrying!? I don't want to feel like this forever. {She laid down on Hopu's lap. Hopu stroked her head.}

Hopu: It will end soon My dear. You just need to relax. One day when you're all ready you'll finally bring peace but for now we just have to keep moving. Do you understand Larota?

Larota: I. I understand Master. {She said deepening her voice.}

She got up and bowed down to Hopu. She was at the door, put her hand on the frame and looked back.

Larota: Good night mom.

Hopu: Good night my little warrior.

Larota closed the door on her way out. She went to the open window above the main entrance and sat there. Irma saw this. She was hiding behind a pillar. She felt pity for Larota and her family and she wanted to know everything.
