One year has passed since Kawabata Aoi died. The facility was never then found. It remained as it was, below the dirt. It's location was somewhere in the Philippines. That place that brought death was finally away for good.
I haven't heard of Kobashigawa Kumiko for a while now. I have no clue as to where Shiro, Ume or Shig are. I've lost connection with Paghos and Asuka Bando.
A month ago he proposed to me and now we are engaged. Archive wasn't home currently. He was at his job and I had the day off.
Everything was calm and nothing was happening. Nothing badly at all.
I heard the doorbell ring and I got up from the chair I was sitting in. I opened the door and there was a delivery for us.
-Delivery guy- «Hello ma'am. I've brought over the package you have bought»
-Me- «I didn't buy nothing. Go away»
-Delivery guy- «Ma'am I'm sorry but this was sent to your adress»
I was tired that day so I just signed and took the box inside. When I opened it a large tentacle bursted out of the box and attacked me. I took the knife that I had on my counter and made multiple cuts through it. It made small damage to the house but it had died.
This attack was definitely from an ability user. This was what scared me a bit. Not much to be fair. But still it was weird. We haven't been attacked by an ability user in a year. Let alone meet one.
Inside the box was a small note. I picked it up and checked well if it had some sort of trap on it. This one wasn't trapped. The letters inside it were very hard to read. Reminded me of a friend. I did manage to understand it after a little bit. «You forgot about me, but I have escaped». That was all. The letter itself seemed like it was written by a five year old child.
Who was this person with shit handwriting that knew of my adress? I tried waiting for Archive to return but I was impatient. I left the house and went to maybe look around just in case I found something.
After an hour of looking around the two of Tokyo I found nothing. When I returned home I saw Archive packing bags.
Before I even uttered a word he spoke.
-Archive- «You never leave the house like that. And from what I know you don't have any matches right now. The place is also pretty fucked up so mind telling me what happened?»
-Kumiko H- «I want to but frankly I'm also confused. What happened was weird. That's the only way I can explain it»
-Archive- «I see... so it was an attack... through the use of a blessing?»
-Kumiko H- «Yeah»
-Archive- «I get it. But what you did was meaningless. You went around to look for someone who could have done it. But do you really believe that a person such as that would be there? This person is in the old facilities»
-Kumiko H- «And how could you have known that?»
-Archive- «You seem to forget how high of an intellect I possess»
-Kumiko H- «Yeah yeah whatever you say. We should move though unless you want us to be attacked again»
-Archive- «Moving won't help us. This person found our adress. It's to be expected that they will find it again. We're going back to those facilities, that is. If you want to stop the attacker. We are ability users at the end of it. A normal life doesn't suit us»
-Kumiko H- I sighed. «You're being melodramatic but you know what? Let's go I don't want any more damage to our home»
-Archive- «Yeah.... That's the spirit...»
I wasn't a fan of his lazy attitude all the time. But I hated the idea of him also being attacked some day. I wasn't much of a thinker but I was certain that he and I couldn't find the facilities. We would need the assistance of someone great. For as long as I've known her she's been both the smartest and dumbest little bitch you could ever meet. Last time we met I believe she moved to Sapporo with her new adopted parents. She has to currently be sixteen years old.
-Kumiko H- «Archive. Before we go to find the facilities we should go get miss bangs»
-Archive- «Are you sure? I thought you hated her»
-Kumiko H- «Yeah but tell me. Do you know any other little bitch who can help us with the exact location of the facilities?»
-Archive- «Well Kumiko is definitely a good idea. But as of right now if the attacker finds out that Kumiko assists or assisted us she will be terminated. She doesn't have an ability and can't defend herself»
-Kumiko H- «... I see. Then tell me a better idea!»
-Archive- «Hm... well if I had to pick anyone else. Iseri Mitsuo is a wise choice. We are certain he won't betray us. After all he stopped Akiko and locked her up»
-Kumiko H- «Him? Are you serious? One of Aoi's pets? The liar paradox?!»
-Archive- «I'm aware I make little to no sense. But I'm fully certain that... he won't harm us. After all he would have nothing to gain from it»
-Kumiko H- «I still don't trust him. Can you give me any other person? Anyone?»
-Archive- «Well the people who wouldn't be in danger are the archangels and the gods of Aoi. Other than that there is no one who could survive being attacked by an ability user and also have the knowledge of the previous facilities»
-Kumiko H- «You know what Archive? Fine we can visit the other girl, this Savannah girl»
-Archive- «Why not Mitsuo?»
-Kumiko H- «Simply because she can't kill us if she decides to betray us!»
-Archive- «... damn alright»
-Kumiko H- «Alright let's go then»
-Archive- «You know where she lives?»
-Kumiko H- «No but Shiro does. And you've visited him recently so you must know where he lives. Guide us to his house»
-Archive- «Well... alright»
