Bryce and Damien stood in front of us with faces of angst.
"Alex, why did you bring those people here?!" Bryce said.
"They're survivors, of course. Why wouldn't we?" Alex said.
"That girl Ori, she's an evil woman!" Bryce said.
"Do you understand how many hearts she's broken?" Damien said, teary-eyed. "She's a sad soul."
Alex and his companions had looks of confusion.
"I don't know what sort of relationship you've had before, but can you please just push it aside?" Alex said. "It's obvious that they've been through a long journey, can't you see how drained they are?"
It's true. We went through a lot just to get here and we've experienced despair from one place to another.
I.....no....We are sick and tired of living out there by ourselves. We just wanted to rest and finally have some peace at the resort, but these two idiots just decided to ruin it.
"Please give it a rest guys, we don't want any trouble," Agnes said.
"Why are you taking her side, Agnes?!" Bryce screamed in her face. "Don't you hate her too?!"
Agnes shrunk in fear. I walked over to her and held her head.
"It's ok...thanks for trying."
"Ori should stay....it's Perci that needs to go," Damien said. "He's the one corrupting her heart."
Perci tries to intervene, but Robin stops him and confronts the two.
"Quit your bullshit. Why can't you just ignore them and leave them alone?" Robin said.
Damien grabbed Perci's collar and looked at him coldly.
"Perci!" Robin called out.
"It's fine, Robin. Let me talk to him," Perci said.
Perci sighed. He maintained a calm composure despite being grabbed like that.
"What are you trying to do?" Perci asked Damien.
"You said I didn't care about her. How am I supposed to let go of that?"
"I was just telling you what I observed. You didn't even bother keeping her safe. Saying that you love her, yet you can't protect her.....Stop lying to yourself."
"You!"
Damien tries to punch Perci in the face, but Alex grabs him and drags him away.
"Let go of me, Alex!" Damien said.
"We shouldn't be fighting here," Alex said. "You're disturbing the peace."
"Just Ori being here is disturbing the peace if you ask me!" Bryce said and gripped Alex's shoulder like a claw.
"Phew, what a pain...." Alex muttered. "As your senior, I'm asking you to stop this farce, now."
"Just because you're older doesn't mean you get to order us around!" Bryce said.
"If you don't behave right now, then I'll have to-"
Bryce and Damien tried to attack Alex before he could finish, but Alex easily evaded their attacks and pulled on their ears.
"O-Ouch!"
"You brats better cut it out or I won't show any mercy."
A sudden laughter came out from the crowd and the sound of claps could be heard.
