This chapter starts with the group back in the royal manor.
Sakuta: You really need to tell me things Jin.
Jin puts his palm over his face and says I meant to tell you, they needed to know who saved me for whatever reason.
Sakuta paces back an forth thinking to himself Shit people know my name now.
Jin walks toward Rui and says Anyway it's a pleasure to meet you.
Rui tenses up and says It's nice to meet you, sir.
Jin backs up to give her some space and says Please call me Jin, we will be working together for now on after all.
Sakuta: I forgot to tell you this, but Jin is the one who came up with Lost Crimson.
Rui pulls on Sakuta's shirt and asks Will I be staying with you for now on?
Sakuta turns his head to jin and asks Since the clinic is closed now, where are we going to stay?
Jin says I'm glad you asked. Follow me.
Jin leads them out of his study down the hall and shows them two large rooms and says These two rooms will be Lost Crimson's base of operations and there are rooms down the hall of everyone.
Izumi's jaw drops and says Damn Sakuta we're living the good life.
Jin continues I have a budget for the group and each person will get a salary of 140 silver per month.
Rika comes out and asks How much is the budget?
Jin looks down and says I'm trying to aim for 20,000 silver a month, but as of right now it's 15,000/ Don't worry about it though, just go pick out your rooms.
Rui sticks to Sakuta like glue as they pick their rooms.
Sakuta: Which room do you want?
Rui looks overwhelmed and says I don't do well in large spaces, I'm just to used to smaller ones.
Sakuta looks around the room he picked otu and says There's definitely enough space if you want to bunk up.
Rui looks confused and asks Bunk up?
Sakuta: I mean we can share the same room. Of course we can put up some walls that would divide up the room for privacy.
Rui nods and says Let's bunk up.
Story cuts to night and Sakuta was sleeping but gets woken up by Rui.
Rui looks distruaght and says I can't sleep.
Sakuta sits up and scrotches to the edge of he bed and asks You okay?
Rui turns on a lantern and says I keep thinking I'm in that horrible place again.
Sakuta stands up and puts his hand on her head and says I can't sleep most nights either. Here lay in my bed and I'll keep you company.
Rui lays down and asks You went through something terrible, didn't you?
Sakuta sits on the ground and says I did.
Rui: Is that why you want to help people like me?
Sakuta looks up at the ceiling and says Lost Crimson is also to help me. I cant fight or sleep with out seeing what was done to me and what I have done.
Rui: Do you want to talk about it?
Sakuta looks down and says Sure I need to tell someone who isn't Rika anyway. I was tortured for four days. Every day it's like I can feel everything all over again. It just constantly eats at me and I can't keep putting up this act like I'm okay, like I can keep fighting, and I was barely able to kill that trafficker in Western Top... Sorry for the rant.
Rui turns over and says We're not so different, thank you for telling me. After Rui says that she falls asleep.
Rika comes out and says Your heart rate didn't spike this time.
Sakuta lays down and says I kinda feel better.
He then falls alseep and Rika turns off the lantern while saying Thank you, Rui.
The story cuts to someone holding a stack of papers, saying So your name is Sakuta, you killed Sosuke, huh.
Chapter Ends.
