Chapter 24: Stones

After (Y/N) told Weisz what was on her mind, he gave her a hug. Which she found weird because she didn't consider him the affectionate type. Now, they both sat on opposite sides of the hallway facing each other.

"And that's why she's responsible for his death."

"I get it. So you don't want to go back there because it reminds you of your past."

"That's definitely the nice answer. I'm over my parents' death, to put it nicely. I've grieved and I've grown. To be honest, I don't want to go back there because if I saw Kurenai again...I'd kill her."

Weisz sat with one arm propped on his knee. "Not to be rude, but if you want to murder Kurenai, then you're not over your parents death. Not in the slightest."

(Y/N) thought that maybe that could be true. Maybe she did bottle up her feelings to move on because the pain was too hard. Or maybe she actually did mourn them completely and now she just wants to kill Kurenai because it will be a favor to the citizens of Sun Jewel.

"Who the hell is Kurenai, anyway?"

"She's like the dictator of Sun Jewel. She's a cruel, sadistic woman who abuses her power for her own selfish needs. She's the ruler of that planet and she doesn't care about the people there, not unless they're making her money."

"You know, it's weird you come from Sun Jewel. You're not rich or anything."

(Y/N) snapped her fingers at him, "and that is a common misconception about Sun Jewel. As wealthy as that planet is, there's a huge poverty district. My father was a doctor so we didn't struggle. But with so many poor people, there's bound to be some thieves."

Weisz nodded, understanding what she was implying. "So it's easy for her to get people to work in the mines."

"Exactly." She sighed, resting her head on the wall. "Look, Weisz, I enjoyed this therapy session, but can you please open my door so I can rest. I have a headache and your pestering isn't helping." She joked.

"Alright." The mechanic stood up with a groan and reached out to help her up as well. With a simple press on his watch, the door opened. "Thank you!" (Y/N) stepped into her room.

"No problem." He smiled, stuffing his hands in his pockets. He turned around, ready to go back to his weapon, his former first priority now that this one was settled.

"Oh, and Weisz?"

The said man turned back around and saw (Y/N) poking her head out her doorway. "Yeah?"

"I really appreciated that. You're not all that bad, Professor." She smirked before going back inside her room.

"I'm not a–oh forget it."

(Y/N)'s POV

I kept texting Rebecca trying to see how things were going but my messages weren't reaching her. I bet it's that satellite Kurenai has, no doubt. So I decided to go on my socials. I scroll down my timeline, passing funny memes and GRWM videos. Until something catches my eye.

'Hm? Why is #Aoneko trending with #WibbleWobbleRubyBobble online?' I click the hashtag to see multiple people are retweeting a video made from Dabilia. Rebecca was dressed as some anime chick and was dumped with slime. 'Really? This is funny? It's not even embarrassing-funny?'

'Why would Rebecca make a video with Dabilia..? Oh no!'

I sit up, suddenly feeling very anxious. There's no way Rebecca would willingly help her. She hates her. So she must need her help. But, if she really needed anything, surely Shiki would...something's wrong. I scramble out of my pajamas and get ready to leave with only one thing on my mind.
