Everyone splits up and helps around the station, I was walking when I hear a little sniffle on my right, I walk over towards the sound and see a researcher crying with his head down, he was sitting down on a bench with no one supporting him "hey, what's wrong?" I ask taking a seat next to them "Nothing you'll understand" he says venom lacing his voice 'whoa calm down the fuck' I thought raising an eyebrow "Try me" I say handing him tissues I found on a table nearby. The male sighs and calms down a few "I- what if we all die? what if I can't make it back? I have a family I want to see, a person who I love and they understand me so much but I never got to say I love you to him, Mum was right, I shouldn't have taken this job, nevertheless go into space, I'm such a fucking idiot" he groans beginning to sob more "whoa whoa, you're not an idiot" I say putting my hand on his back "you saw this chance and took it because of your interests, which is good you followed your dream" he begins to calm down "we'll all be fine, of course, the area is filled with enemies but we can get through this after the attack ask Asta to give you pod to go home, and tell the person you love so much how you feel" I say "but how will I know I won't be rejected?" he says "that's the thing, you don't but closure is better than letting them go. Yes, it may sting but at least you know" I say the male stayed quiet "It's better to take the shot than live with them being happy with someone else knowing that, with a small chance it could've been you" I smiled, the male looked at me and let out a small and soft smile and pulled me into a soft hug "yeah, thank you" "hey, no worries, go and get a drink and freshen up man" he nods and walks off.

I let out a small sigh and looked at the floor in a daze 'Does he still miss me?' I wonder, a clenching feeling resided in my chest and I think about him 'Does he even remember me?' a frown rested on my face until I felt someone sit next to me "Wow I never took you as being good at reassuring people" Dan Heng teased "shut up, you won't see it much" I rolled my eyes, he wrapped his arm around my waist and leaned into my ear "probably, but I just hate the way you two hugged" he whispered before moving away heading back to Asta. I stood there frozen getting flashbacks of someone... 'they're so similar but not at the same time' "What the fuck" I whispered before shaking my head and heading back too.

"not again!" I groan as an emergency breach was shown, the Doomsday Beast was trying to break in "You all go, I'll stay back" Asta says starting to compile against the best "But-" March was cut off by Himeko "lets go". "The supply zone's defence shield won't hold much longer. You'll all need to hurry, I'll be there. You've got to fend them off You.... hurry.." Asta's voice broken in between "and now we lost communication great" I groan rubbing my forehead in anger, Caelus looks at me in concern and rubs my back to soothe me "you're not going back right?, shall I remind you of the Doomsday Beast?" Dan Heng quirks "this is Herta's creation. As long as Lord Ravanger doesn't intervene. there should be no problems" Himeko sighs "b-but we can't run away like this, right?" March says "The Doomsday Beast is tearing through the defence like paper - and Herta isn't here" Dan Heng confirms "Either way, the legion has the blessing of the Aeon, Nanook. They were prepared" he sighs "that's why we have to leave and take Caelus and Stelle with us" Himeko says "Caelus and Stelle?" Dan Heng questions looking at the two then glare at Caelus's hand on my back "They're.... that important?" Venom laces his voice, the two looks at each other sharing a look of confusion. I hit Dan Heng on my back "Don't be rude!" I say and he rolls his eyes "He's the one who can help us.. of course I could be wrong" Himeko says with a doubtful face "Oh my god they're right there..." I sigh "well I believe they can help us escape, they may not know anything but I've seen Caelus in a fight, and he handled himself well" I say backing the two up, Caelus puffs out his chest with a smile his hands on his hip "and Stelle may have woken up by they can fight too" I cross my arms look at Himeko, Stelle smiles, "and how are you so sure?" she asks.

It was quiet as she and I communicated through our eyes, she sighs and nods "Okay fine, I trust you" I smile "What should we do next then?" Dan Heng asks "This is the supply zone where the maintenance crew works. There's a path here that leads to the nearest railway platform. Let's head over there and meet up with Welt" Himeko nods "Mr Yang? he's here too? Didn't he stay on the express?" she asks a hand on her hip "Well our cords are indeed tracked, knowing the station movements Welt would've noticed by now" I shrug "yes, I can assure you he's on his way" Himeko sighs "right now we might be able to handle things if it's just the Doomsday Beast. But if the Destruction Emnator were to appear...." she trailed off "the Destruction Emanator?" Stelle asks, Himeko waves her off "Let's hurry and get out o here, I'll explain later" and with that, we dashed towards the Express.

The new two recruits were handling themselves well, we found a spare bat for Stelle which is good but, even though I may slightly trust them... Why do they have a stelleron inside them both.
