"How was your life before?"
"Normal!"
"Isn't it better that way? you can keep the sane person in you alive?"

"The label enterprises has shut down, bodyguards, security and agents have dropped off of the agency."
The news anchor presented headline. Jimin increased the volume.
"..a strike has been seen across the SF boundary, most of them are families of the contract-based guards who are bound to work there. Petitions are being filled by many insights to let them go.

Alac was standing in the kitchen, facing the counter, with a glass in his hand.
"Why are you always in the kitchen?" Mina stepped in.

He poured her a glass, passing it towards her, knowing well enough that his old friend would be judging him.

"I mean, I got my brother back, we got the watches, the video, H.O.S.P.I.T.A.L is down, SF is about to .. and -" he paused
Mina had a cheeky look on her face, "..and?" she almost laughed.
Alac stared at her, thinking for a while "...for some reason I am very glad.. that you are here too."
Mina ended up chuckling at that; her eyes dodging away. She did not even try to hide the redness on her face, neither avoided the conversation. It was always obvious, apparent and concrete.
