After finding a gift for Five, you return to your room waiting for him.

Then Five blinked into the room "Hey Y/n" he said "Hey--" but stopped yourself when you saw he was holding two briefcases.

"Why do you have two briefcases?" you asked "One of them is Lila's and the other one she nicked off the Sparrows" he replied "And she didn't think to share it with anyone?" you asked "I don't think she was planning on sticking around" he said "So we use them now" he said "No. The briefcase don't work" he said "Don't work, that's impossible" you said "Well, apparently is not" he said.

Then you spotted a small cut on his nose "What happen?" you asked as you pointed on the cut "Lila" he said and you nodded "I just don't understand how you can still look so handsome and I look like a mess" you said as you sat down "You're a beautiful mess" he said and he sat down next to you.

"Are you okay?" he asked "Fine" you lied "You are not fine. I have notice that you have bitten your nails and ripe a small piece of your skin by your fingernails off. Just like you are doing right now" he said and you looked down at your finger to see that some of them had dyed blood from when you ripe a tiny part of the skin of by your fingernails off.

"And you only do that when you are stress, scared, nervous, sad or in pain" he said "I can handle it" you said "You don't have to face this alone" he said as he grabbed your hand "Look at me" he said and you looked at him.

"I know the trauma that monster have cost you. I wish I could take your pain away but I can, but I can promise you that you are not gonna face it alone" he said "You have nothing to worry about" you said "Are you sure?" he asked and you nodded.

"Okay, I'm not gonna force you, but you I will always be here for you. You can tell me everything, you know that right?" he asked.

"So what is the plan?" you asked "Lila and I have to work together to get one of the briefcase to work so we can go to The Commission, so I can talk to Herb" he said "You and Lila working together?" you asked "Yeah, sometimes when we need help we sometimes go to the people we least expect" he said "So you and Lila is gonna to try and find a solution to stop this paradox" you said and he nodded.

"You are about to try and stop the world from ending again for the third time. If anything, we should be worried about you" you said "I guess it's always been my mission. To save you and my family" he said "Yeah, you need a break after this" you said "A huge one" he said and you smiled.

"Are you ready to go with me?" he asked "I'm not going with you" you said "Why?" he asked "I will just be in the way" you said as you looked down "You are never in the way" he said and you looked back at him "I think I rather stay here" you said "Are you sure?" he asked as you could see that he was worry.
