[Y/n POV]

    

Y/n had not expected to come out alive after being caught for sabotaging the delusion factory, but here they were.

Scaramouche had instructed Y/n to keep doing their part within the Resistance, and gave Aless a new task of watching over them.

This development wasn't revealed to them. Y/n just started spotting occasional tufts of white hair around them. Knowing Aless' primary places to hide, they knew it was him lurking around them.

Well, it wasn't like Y/n could do anything to change their circumstances. And they were too tired to lift a finger against the Fatui now.

"Morning, Y/n. You sure look in high spirits." Matsuda greeted them as usual. He had just come back from an early morning jog, and was settling down to get a sip of water.

"Uh.. was that a joke? Because they don't look too good right now." Hisahiko commented. That earned him a glare from the third guy, Koyama.

Y/n sighed. "If you guys keep this up, I won't mourn your deaths when the time comes."

"What???" Hisahiko got all teary eyed, though the other two knew it was just a foul joke.

"Y/n, don't you dare forget us when the time comes!"

Y/n raised an eyebrow. "I'm surprised you're not offended that I basically implied I'll outlive you."

Matsuda spat out his water, resulting him a fit of coughs.

"Dude, you can't just waste water like that." Koyama tutted. "Fishes live in there, you know. What will the Priestess say?"

"Oh, I'm sure she'd have a lot of say." A different member had approached the quartet, leading to everyone gain back composure.

"Hey," Koyama sweatdropped. "That joke was a joke, okay?"

The member did not care. "The Sangonomiya Priestess wants to see you, Y/n."

Y/n blinked. "Huh?"

Why me?

Y/n followed the Resistance member until they reached Watatsumi island. It wasn't until they reached the Sangonomiya shrine that they saw a familiar face.

"Ah, Y/n. You've arrived." General Gorou gestured to Y/n. "Her Excellency is awaiting your presence."

Y/n nodded in return, but deep down they were feeling scared. What could be the reason for the Priestess to call them there? Surely she didn't find out that Y/n was part of the Fatui, right?

Did someone spot Aless, maybe?

I knew him hovering around me wasn't a good idea..

Still, it was better to ask the only person they knew.
