  [8:05, Day 5]

 Huh, that little kid, maybe that's the kid I helped raise? Then who was my fiance?

   "Other types of suffering might be waiting for me in real life." Kirell said, breaking the early morning silence.

   "You must have had a bad dream, I'm sure you were shown something you need to know though." Philio said to her, most likely to console her.

   "You seem to be deep in thought, if it's not too much to ask, what's on your mind?" Argo asked me, quiet enough that nobody else could hear.

"Just thinking about my dream, and what I had asked Charon."

   "What was it that you asked them?"

"If I had any family, I was told I had a fiance and helped raise a kid, I think I was shown the kid in my dream."

 We were brought out of our conversation by Kirell, "Argo, are you ready yet?" She asked.

   "As ready as I always am, but it seems like there's something different about you, Kirell." Argo responded.

   "I think our conversation has made you desperately want to be resurrected," Philio said to Kirell, "I know how we can satisfy that desperation."

   "Why? You're gonna help me with my task, aren't you?" Kirell asked.

   "Please tell me what your task is, Kirell." Philio said to her, "Whatever it is, I'll do whatever I can right away." Everyone went pretty silent at that.

   "Woah, Philio. Your not thinking of Killing yourself, are you?" Hilde blurted out.

   "Hilde." Argo said.

   "Oops, sorry. I just couldn't help it..."

   "Alright then. Kill me." Philio said as I whipped my head towards him.

"Huh?!" I said.

   "Hmm."

   "Wha... Really?!"

   Kirell started talking, "Just like Hilde said, I need someone to die in order to make progress on my task. But my next target's Balaam. It's not you Philio."

   "Sorry. I didn't mean to cut in line. But please tell me anytime you need me later." Philio said.

   "What's going on here?"

 So much drama and too early in the morning.

   "I see our dreams have put us on edge. Anyways, we have agreed our first target is Balaam. I trust we still all agree on that." Argo said

"Mhm I-" I get cut off by far away gunshots.

   Hilde shrieks, "That wasn't from nearby, was it?"

   "It seems Balaam is engaged in battle somewhere far away." Argo said.

"This could be our chance."

   "I must leave at once." Argo said, leaving to go fight Balaam.

 I stand up and start getting ready to help him, not listening to the conversation between Kirell, Hilde and Philio. Leaving as soon as possible to where Argo and Balaam is. I find them and while Argo has the upper hand, he seems hesitant.

 I should wait for Kirell and Hilde, I can cover for them when they decide to attack. After about a minute or two I see them both with pipes, and Hilde goes to attack him.

   "Hiyaaah!" She said, I shoot at Balaam but he still got a shot on Hilde.

   "I knew Argo was too smart to come alone. Like I said - I'm like a cat when it comes to sensing danger." He said.
