Miles swung around the city looking for Peni, how hard could it be to find a 10 foot spider robot he thought, after wandering around the city he had given up and decided to go back to his dorm, then he saw her, in an alley a few blocks from the school, he saw Peni and the robot slowly disintegrating, he quickly went downstairs before the girl vanished.

"Peni, I'm glad I found you," Miles said relieved as he took off his mask.

"..." the girl did not answer.

"Peni...what did you..."

"Sorry Miles, I guess I got carried away."

"Not only that, what happened to you, in general, the Peni I knew..."

"The Peni you knew is gone," she said, trying to hold back her tears.

"Yeah, I noticed that, but what I want to know is why..."

"I'm sorry Miles, I understand if you don't want to see me again, I'll just go and you can try to forget this..." the girl said holding back tears as she used her bracelet to open a portal, but she was interrupted before she could do so, Miles quickly ran up to her and hugged her tightly from behind, the girl froze, not knowing what to do.

"Peni, you are my friend and I care about you, that is why I came to find you," the boy told her, then he pulled away a little, "there is something I want to show you, after that I will let you go wherever you want, and if you do not want to come back here, I will understand."

For a moment, they both remained silent.

"Do you trust me, Peni?" asked Miles, holding out his hand.

"Okay, I'll go with you," she whispered as she took the boy's hand.

Miles led Peni to an abandoned subway entrance, and she stopped at the entrance, hesitant to continue.

"What's wrong Peni?"

"Subways...I don't like them very much, I'm not very good in tight places."

"..." Miles said nothing, just gave her a gentle look.

"You're right, you're the one who's taking me," she said, being held by Miles' arm.

They walked down through the abandoned station and continued walking along the side of the railroad tracks.

"Well, here we are," Miles said, turning on a portable generator and the lights came on, illuminating a large mural.

Peni was amazed, she didn't know what Miles could show her in a place like this, but she certainly didn't expect something like this

Peni was amazed, she didn't know what Miles could show her in a place like this, but she certainly didn't expect something like this.

"I used to sneak away with my uncle to paint in this place," Miles said, "and...this is also where the spider bit me."

Peni did not know how to respond to the boy's sincerity.

"That's why I come here when I need to think, or when I can't be a hero anymore."

"This... you guys, you give me the strength to go on," he said, looking wistfully at the large mural he had painted himself.

"I, I wanted so much to see them again, I needed someone else to understand how hard this world is," Miles' voice expressed sadness and melancholy, "and then you showed up out of nowhere, but... you're right... you're not the person I remember..."

Peni, her eyes lowered, did not know how to respond to Miles' sincerity.

"That one there, that's the Peni I remember," Miles pointed out, Peni looked sadly at the mural, "I don't know what happened in your dimension, in your life, I can only imagine how hard it must have been to face it alone."

"That's why I want you to know that I'm here for you, I want you to smile like that girl again," Peni saw her smiling face in the mural, she couldn't stand it anymore and let out all her tears, Miles knelt down to hug her.

"Really, Miles, you are such a sweet boy," she murmured through her tears.

"I promise you, Peni," the boy replied.
