The next day

"I think it's around this area..." Klein said to Kikuoka as he looking around. Kikuoka tries to drive slowly so Klein can see the house's number. "1405....1405....ah there! 1405" Klein shout as he sees the house number that they been searching for almost an hour. Kikuoka drove the car in front of the house. Both of them exit the car and goes to the house's front door. Klein reach something in his front pants pocket. He took it out, it's a key with a cat keychain. He then insert the key into the lock, and turn it to unlock the door.

*Kchhaa* sounds of the door unlocked.

"It's open!" Klein push the door.

-flashback-

" I... I don't really now much about him....but...i think i have something that might help you to know him." She giving the photo back to Klein. "Take this key" Nikki giving Klein a key.

"Key?? What for?" Klein tool the key even tho he confused.

"It's a key for my house, if you want to know more about Sinon's father you might need to go there... Just enter the house and go the basement." Nikki said.

"Basement?? What's in there??" Klein ask more.

"Right after Shion died, Naoko took all the files that Shion has been been working with, and give it to me, she told me to keep it.... hidden." Nikki said as she felt guilty, she broke the promise that she make with Naoko. But deep down she know, something that happened 18 years ago, might have connections to what happened to Sinon now. She took a deep breath and exhale it " I'm sorry Naoko i need to...."

-end flashback-

"Just go into the house....go straight, right before the kitchen, there's a door(Klein repeat the thing that Nikki told him)....i think this one is the door to the basement." Klein took out another key and open the basement door. As he open it, a dusk come out " ohh fuck! Uhhukk uhhukkk!" He accidentally inhale some of the dusk cousing him to cough. " How long have this basement been shut ...." Both Klein and Kikuoka when down to the basement, a creaking sounds of the wooden stair can be hear as they step on it. " A lot of box...." Klein checking one by one, " Asada Shion" he read the name on the big box. Both Klein and Kikuoka swipe all the dusk that have been sitting there for who know how long. They open the box, it's full of files and a camera.

Kikouka took the camera and tries to open it but failed it doesn't have a battery, he then flip the camera upsidedown, and open a slot." It Still have the sdcard" he closed it back.

"Kikouka-san..." Klein call for him "there's another box with his name" pointing at a smaller box. They open the box, and to theeir surprised. "A nervegear??" Klein surprised to see it.

Kikouka took one of the files. "Research and development: Alzheimer. Nervegear prototype..." He pause and continue read the file. He look to Klein. " Shino-san's father ..Shion is the one creating the nervegear...not Kayaba Akihito" he close the file. "Take all the box with Shion name on it, we will look at it more details in my office". Both of them took the boxes with Shion name and put it into Kikouka's car. After they finish, they lock the door back and when straight to Kikouka's office.

The night.

Kikouka's office.

"Hhmpphh.." Klein put the boxes on the table as he took a breath. He then took the camera and open the slot, taking out the sdcard and placing it to the pc sdcard slot." I think we can start looking at all of this video ..... it's....a lot" he scroll the file, as he search for the most old dates on it.  When he finds it he click the file.

Shion voice (pov as he talk to the camera)

Ermmm... hello...is it recording?  Hmmp? Oh yeah it is. ......h-hi my name is Shion.  Employee in Argus. It's 1.1.2007. today gonna be my first day as the official Employee in Argus. Hopefully everything when smoothly.

*Ktchhaa( sounds of the camera shutting, and the next date play automaticly.)

"hmmphh×2 , it's 12.06.2007 i have a very nice announcement today. I've work under Argus for only a few months, and they decided to make me a group leader for a new R&D!! I can't believe it!! It's an Alzheimer R&D, the goals is to find the cure for Alzheimer." Shion looked proud as he showing the files to the camera.

"Come on.... We eating dinner right now,can you put the camera somewhere else, Shion." A girl voice can be heard at the background. It's sounds similar to Sinon's voice, so both Klein and Kikuoka assume it's her mother, Naoko. Shion pick the camera and put on the tv table, making both of them visible to the camera.

Shion look at the camera and smile before he goes back to his sit. He reach something in his pocket. "And.... I also has one more thing to announce to you, Naoko" he pulled out his hand from his pocket. "First of all ...i want to thank you for always being there with me when im in my lowest point. People always looking down on me just because im an orphan. But you, you always stay beside me. And...and even in the future i want you to stay beside me...so...Naoko, will you marry me?" He show the ring to Naoko who was almost cried the moment she saw the ring. She nodded. Shion took the ring and put it on Naoko's finger.

*Ktchhaa.

"We married!!!" Shion shouted to the camera with joy " Asada Shion....i never thought i would ever has a surname" he look at the marriage documents again.

*Ktchhaa.

"....i think this is a good spot...." This time it's naoko who start the recording." Hehe,i can't wait for you to get home Shion. I got a surprised for you." she showing the pregnancy test that she's holding. She smile so bright. The camera keep recording for a few minutes before a sounds of a door unlocking from outside. " Im home~~" Shion enter the house. "Welcome back, Shion" she reply. "Damn, it's super chilling outside" Shion dashing and slip his body inside the warm tatami. He took a deep breath as he let the warm air enter his lung as he about to exhale the air, he suddenly pause and lock his eye on a book, that has a mother and baby pic as a cover, and a pregnancy test with a positive result. He eye suddenly started to get wet, he then look at his beautiful wife. He goes to her, hug her, and started to cry " thank you...thank you" both of them embrace each other with a hug welcoming a new family member in their life, Shino.
