World Reborn

Aftermath Part 2

The four of them are all sitting inside the train station until an announcement is made on the PA system letting them all know that the drill has been lifted.

See, all clear

Emergency alert had been canceled, please resume regular life

Like there even still is regular life.

Bill had been mostly silent since his little breakdown earlier but is also getting ready to leave the station as well.

They all exit out of the train but Cate still seems confused.

"So, everything just goes back to normal" Cate says taken aback by the laxness afterwards.

"What should we do? Run home and hide in the closet" Kentaro responds.

"I mean it's not that much of a terrible idea" Bill says when both siblings look back at him with a face.

Kentaro's mother seems to say something in Japanese to Kentaro.

Kentaro translates for his mother to tell Cate her question.

"She's asking if you both come have tea and talk about your lives" Kentaro translates.

"I wouldn't mind, I haven't had the best day exactly" Bill takes up the offer while looking at the ground but Cate not so much.

"Thats very kind, and you can tell her I'm saying whatever you want right now, but I can't imagine anything I'd like to do less than have tea with the woman Dad was cheating on my mom with" Cate says.

Bill looks at her with a what the hell look because of her rude attitude, but Bill stays silent not trying to start anything big and knowing it's not his place.

Emiko nods her head happily, though most likely not knowing what Cate had just said.

"Yeah, well from our perspective, your mother was the other women"

"That's fair, we're gonna go now, the other women's gonna have a lot of questions" Cate says taking her brother's hand and walking off into the opposite direction , but Bill shakes his head.

"Come on Catie, don't be rude to them" Bill says, Cate looks down at her brother with a glum face that's says sorry.

"Did you get the answers" Kentaro questions the both of them.

The other Randa siblings turn towards their half brother, Bill with a straight face, but Cate with a more annoyed one.

"You flew halfway around the world looking for something"

Kentaro takes the keys that Cate had given him out of his pocket.

"Or what these unlock, and all you found was Dad was apparently a lying asshole, is that enough for you?"

Bill looks down at the floor, wondering why his Dad had done this to him, to Cate, to his mom, Emiko, Kentaro, to everyone, why?

"I guess that'll have to do" Cate bites back at Kentaro with a bit of snark but tries to begin walking off and Bill follow.

"You think our father was so bad?, I wanna show you something".

—————————————————————————

Emiko had gone back home while Cate, Kentaro and Bill headed towards another location.

All three of them make their way down an active alley until they reach an open door that has stairs already going up.

Kentaro opens a door with keys and it is apparently the office of their father.

"Okay" Cate says with a bit of confusion of the point of this.
