Night falls again, and the Ospreys move to the sewers. "So, how are we even gonna get out this city. It's surrounded by guards." I ask Tyler. "We can probably just attack them. It can't be that hard." He answers. Everyone in The Asylum are talking, using electronics, or doing hobbies. Me and Tyler are sat on the floor by the entrance conversing about the future. "Even if we do escape, where would we go? The sinners could probably welcome us, but that's just another stone city." I say as I'm tying knots in a hair tie. "I guess we could make our own city. But that would take a long time." Tyler says. He nudges my shoulder and adds "Hey, whatever happens we'll have eachother, and the other Ospreys of course .".

The rest of that night went smoothly. Everyone went back to their apartments before sunrise and didn't inhale the fog. I still don't know why we can't breathe the raw air. Everyone else (the non ospreys) is breathing and they seem fine. I decided that morning to send a message to Tyler. I wrote "Hi Ty! I was wondering why we can't inhale the air? It's probably an obvious answer but I'd like clarification. -L". I went to the post office to send my letter. As I am leaving people are giving me weird looks. Fair enough, I'm wearing a pink ski mask. Though, The looks were more of concern than confusion. The streets were as boring as usual and the fog was still lingering. Reyn had scheduled a city meet up in the park today so I guess I should attend that. I could probably find other Ospreys and we can just chat while he's talking about how amazing the concrete city is. As I'm heading over to the park I pass by an alley way. It has trash cans and other crap but I can hear a faint "meow" coming from the alleyway. I follow the noise and see a small, grey cat lying in a pile of cardboard. "Awwww, I'm stealing you." I grab the cat and place him nicely in my bag. His head peaks out over the top of the bag. It almost looks like he is a baby in a crib.

At the meet up I spot the other Ospreys and I join them at the fountain. "Look what I found!" I pull the kitty out of my bag. "Oh my god! He's so cute!" An Osprey named Diana said. The members all crowded around this little kitty.
"Attention all Saints, my team and I have been hearing about a rebellion being planned. If this is you, tune yourself in. We already know." Reyn announced. All eyes were on me and the Ospreys.
Shit.
