"Now we go back to the morning for another weather..." Clayne immediately turned the TV off and left back to camp grumpily, much to a few number of the underground members who were a fan of the Lustrous franchise,"

He arrived at camp, folding his arms. "Oh, hey, Clayne," Herman greeted. "How are you?"

"The answer is: Fuck You," Clayne greeted back

"Uhm, ok," Herman said. "So uhh, did you find anything interesting today? DID you buy something interesting?" Herman cheered the mood. "Did you uhh, get lots of greens today?"

"Herman, if there was a knife, I wish I could kill you!" Clayne bittered.

"Woah, don't be like that!" Herman enraged. He inhaled, facing him. "Clayne, look, I, I am sorry, ok!"

"Apology unaccepted, YOU RUINED ME, HERMAN! That is something I cannot forget, let alone forgive!" Clayne said.

"I am sorry! Look, I, I was only trying to do what I do, alright? Besides, Drock wanted us to do it, there was no way we could expect that."

Clayne then asked, "Why couldn't you just kill the woman?!"

"Clayne, please don't..."

"Why, too scared to be a pussy, huh?!" Clayne bittered

Herman inhaled. "Clayne, I can't kill anymore, it is wrong... very... very wrong," Herman said. "You, you remember when I killed the college student back in Montgomery when Cutter was still with us," Herman said. "He asked me, and I did it, but, when I... I looked at the guy's eye I... I realized I didn't want to do it anymore," Herman said. "It is as if the guy is still crying even at his death," Herman described while he tore down too. "I told Cutter I didn't want it anymore, it was hard for me to convince him, so I had to, not to hold a sharp object again," Herman said. "Killing people is wrong, everybody knows that, what many didn't know is that... killing people will not let us escape clean, but makes the trouble worse. I am sorry, Clayne, I couldn't do it."
