Around midnight, though hesitantly, Ohma left her room.
Honestly speaking, he felt weird.

She was alluring, a natural charm that drew him in. Every encounter was a new discovery just waiting to be unraveled. It all added to the mystery of her that he had to uncover.
A weird, to him, unknown feeling settles in his chest as he lays in his own bed.
It was frustrating. It was frustrating how familiar she felt to him, to his heart. Still, he couldn't shake the feeling of longing.

No matter how hard he tried to remember, he doesn't remember meeting her in his life yet, he shouldn't let his goal in the tournament get overshadowed by the intoxicating allure of Nova Gensai herslef. Not now. He can't get distracted.

The next morning as the first rays of the sunshine peek through the curtains, Nova woke up quite early to a knock on her door.

She groggily sat up, falling back shortly after.

"Who dares to disturb my peaceful sleep.."
The knocking continued, so deciding to get out of bed, she opened her door with a yawn, revealing her dad.

"Long time no see old man." She said with a small smile, rubbing her eyes.

"We arrived at the Island. Get dressed, everyone will depart the ship in an hour." He said in his usual monotone voice, leaving his daughter still standing in the doorway.

"Hello to you too I guess." She whispered to herself, and shut her door.

"Aight then."

It was finally fight day and she was quite excited. For this day, she chose a laid back outfit, and was ready in under 45 minutes, with makeup and all. Leaving her room and locking the door behind her of course, she didn't want any creep going through her underwear, sniffing them and shit.

"You're going to be up against Lihito in the 12th round." Takakaze said to her in one of the waiting rooms. She sucked her teeth a little, playing with her bracelet.

"Damn, poor guy."
She says scrunching her face up. Takakaze just laughed deeply.

"Your father said the same thing. Or close to that."

"A weakling like him will just bore her. How pathetic."

He laid the clothes out she was going to fight in on a desk, letting her study it.
It was a gray two piece, a tank top and high waisted shorts, they looked like usual gym clothes, but with the affiliation's logo on them; on the back of the top, and on the waistband of the shorts, on her hip area.
She smiled, with a thumbs up as she turns to him.

"I approve!"

After a few more exchanges of words, she walked out of the room, heading off.
Arriving at one specific door, the header 'Nishihonji Security Services' spelled out. Knocking first and turning the knob after she heard she can come in, she smiled, peaking her head in the room.

"It's Britney bitch." She said with a small smile, stepping in the room. Akira smiled back with a small shake of his head, this wasn't the unusual. This was just her personality often times, he once caught her and Cosmo debating if the Ocean was actually a soup, in a serious manner at that.

Cosmo stopped his stretching, facing her.

She didn't look anything out of the usual. Her eyes beamed at him as they wrinkled with her smile.
To him, she definitely did not look like someone who just violently murdered someone the day before...and she seemed fine too, no cuts or bruises. Maybe her heel being there was just some kind of misunderstanding.

"Cosmoooo!~" She exclaimed softly, hugging the male around his shoulder, stroking the back of his head.
He laughed a little, hugging her back around her waist.
"Look who is so full of affection today!"
