"WELL." KIARA OFFERED A PEACE SIGN BEFORE LEAVING FIRST. "SEE YA, LETS NOT DO THIS AGAIN." WITH A TIGHT SMILE SHE WALKS AHEAD OF THE TWO MIDDLE SCHOOL BOYS on her way. Osamu reached his hand out and called out to her. "Wait!" Kiara thinned her lips but slightly turned her head towards the both of them.

"What is it?" Osamu waves his arms around.

"You can't just walk away!" With a mocking raise of her eyebrows Kiara humored him.

"Oh really? Watch me." She then faked a pondering position. "Better yet, I'll run!" With that she teased a running stance.

"But don't you need to head to Gai street?" Osamu asked but before she could answer Yuma did it for her.

"She was lying." He confirmed. Kiara gestured to him with a 'there you have it' look and Osamu looks even more perplexed by the situation.

"But wait!" He desperately followed them as they walk ahead, Kiara was annoyed she was being followed but she should have expected it. They basically just dropped a life changing reveal to him, for the better or worse she didn't know. "What do you mean you guys are Neighbors?"

"Neighbors are those giant things-" He's cut off by Yuma.

"Uh no." The other Neighbor began to explain. "That big one was a trion grunt. Soldier created by Neighbors. The Neighbors who live on the other side of the gates are people like us."

"This specific trion soldier is what we call a bamster." Kiara followed after. "It's the most common one you've seen terrorize the city so far and made for capturing. Compared to others though, it's the weakest level one." Osamu takes in what she said.

"Others..." His voice drifted for a second. Yuma observed Osamu again, seemingly amused.

"We had nothing to do with that one or at least I didn't." He shifted his gaze towards Kiara who rolls her eyes.

"I wouldn't waste my time on those idiots for the life of me." Striding her walk, she checked her watch.

"So Osamu." Yuma addressed his new friend again. "You really didn't know about this? Even though you're in Border?"

"I've never heard about any of this! Stop making this up!" He startled when Kiara whirled around to face them, walking backwards.

"Perhaps it's some parts of the Border who are more familiar with Neighbors true nature than others." She shrugs casually. "That's my guess."

"But why would they?" Osamu was still confused. "Especially with an organization like that, don't they confide all the details?" Kiara snorted.

"That's a naive way of thinking." She admitted and ignored his stare while walking forward. "Considering the state of that building, it's a huge organization, their own agents are all scattered." She pointed one of her fingers up towards the sky. "The attack four years ago caused a major destruction that couldn't be taken back even if they tried. You can't expect all of them to see eye to eye on every opinion concerning Neighbors." Osamu lowered his head a bit, his eyes meeting his shoes. Kiara stared at him for a moment, before averting her gaze.

"All right Osamu." It seemed Yuma decided on something. "You should forget everything we just said!" But that didn't work as it left the glasses boy even more flabbergasted.

"I'm not a Neighbor, I'm very Japanese." Kiara snorts at the way Yuma failed to convince the other boy. Osamu stuttered.

"Hold on!" The black haired boy yelled, pointing his finger at Yuma. "That just makes you sound more suspicious!"
