Mu Qing hastily strode faster as the two other students struggled to keep up with him. "Mu Qing!" Grim cried out. "Qing-san!" Deuce panted as he carried the eggs. "What happened?!"
Mu Qing didn't answer. 'Why? Why?? Why?! Why must I be cursed to see his face again?'

Mu Qing headed to the main streets of the school and stopped where the seven statues stood. Deuce and Grim managed to catch up with him. "Qing-san...! What happened?" Deuce panted.

He put down four several dozen of eggs cartons. Mu Qing's breathing slowly stabilized, "I just...saw something that triggered a memory, as all..." he sighed.

Deuce couldn't help but feel worried still. "Be still...will you be okay?" Mu Qing sighed and stayed silent for a while for he said, "yes, I will be.."

Deuce smiled in relief.
"Okay, Qing-san..." he grabbed some of the eggs.

Mu Qing and Deuce walked along, Grim following.

Mu Qing thought about the store, sure he freaked out, but he found it to be interesting, "I admit the store was fascinating, it may be a beneficial source for supplies..."

Deuce smiled, "yeah, Sam, the store owner was nice..."
"I acknowledge...you're rather strong enough to be carrying that bag, you may be fit for the position of a soldier..." Mu Qing smirked.

Deuce smiled as he blushed, "thank you. Um...well, whenever it's time to stock up in our house, on sale days, my mom would sometimes get carried away and we'd have loads of bags that would be heavy. My dad ran out on us when I was young, so I was the man of the house. I had to do the heavy lifting and everything-..." Deuce rambled on until he realized he had just spoken to someone he had just gotten to know about his home life. "I'm sorry," his face turned guilty, "I didn't mean to overtake the conversation..."

Mu Qing was deep in his thoughts, 'A-Niang (mom)...A-Die(dad)...heaven had better treat you guys right or I'll end every single one of them...'

"Don't apologize for providing aid to your parents...especially if they've dedicated themselves to thinking about their kids and home before themselves..." Mu Qing said sternly.

Deuce smiled, "I'll keep that in mind-!" He bumped into someone. Some of the eggs fell on the ground.

"Hey!!" Mu Qing couldn't believe it, it was the two thugs they met during lunch.

Grim panicked, "the eggs!!"

Deuce sulked over them, "now there's egg yolk dripping all over the ground!"

"Hey, you're with the guy who sent us! I didn't get to eat my carbonara!" The white-haired one growled, pointing at Mu Qing.

"I've had with you punks! You need to know your place!" The redhead glared.

Deuce growled at them, "you assholes were the ones jumping at us from a corner!
And you picked a fight with us at lunch over lunch and you punched Qing-san!" His rage overtook him, "And now you've ruined six of our eggs!"

One of the thugs smirked, "hmph, he deserved it for sending us away to our dorm and we had to deal with our Housewarden's damn tirade! And it's not my fault, I'm not the one who wasn't looking he was going!"

Deuce glowered, "apologize to the chickens and come back to get us some!"

The redhead scoffed, "we ain't apologizing to any eggs! They were gonna hit the ground anyway!"
