It was a warm, sunny day, very different from the mood conveyed at the funeral. "We loved her very dearly and..." As the speeches continued, tears flooded everyone's faces, even Ayzen.

Niome was looking down the whole time however. 

"You good Nini?" Cosmo said to him. "It's all my fault...It's all my fault...It's all my fault...It's all my fault...It's all my fault...It's all my fault..." Niome seemed like he was having a panic attack. 

Ms. Haven, who had also attended the funeral, had rushed to Niome's side. "Hey, let's go see Ms. E ok?" She took Niome's hand and began walking off. 

"What happened to him?" Ayzen said, pretending he wasn't weeping like a baby a minute ago. "I don't know. He seemed fine at the dorms, but when he got here he... maybe it brought back memories." Cosmo said looking away.

It was now Kuoni's time to give a speech, even Jakob had gave one so there was no avoiding it. "I-Nika was..." She couldn't. She fell to her knees holding her head. 

"...It must be hard for her." Jace said to Ezariah. "Yeah, good thing you left Tory with Ms. E, this is kinda traumatic." 

----------

"Do you like jazz little one?" Ms. E smiled to Tory.

When P.D High saw Tory in Jace's hand, they surprisingly accepted her. Though, she wasn't given her own dorm, she was staying with Jace for the time being. She was a bit weary but she had nowhere else to go.

She was only in Ms. E's office since everyone was attending the funeral. They had to have it on campus since the body cannot be buried out in public.

"I like SZA." She said, fidgeting with a Rubik's cube. "Oh, isn't that a bit inappropriate for someone your age." Ms. E chuckled. "Girl, I was about to be killed by my father. By the way, what does the "E" in your name stand for-" 

Suddenly, Ms. Haven along with Niome came in. "Oh, why would you knock on the CEO's office door." Ms. E said sarcastically. "Excuse my insolence, but it's Niome he-" "You took him to the funeral!?" Ms. E exclaimed.

"Well I-" "Why the fu- *sigh*, Tory could you step out for a bit." Ms. E turned to Tory. "..sure." 

Tory walked out of the office, tuning out the bickering between the two higher-ups. She shut the door and sat in the waiting room. 

"Sit it on the chair." Ms. E said, putting her palm on her forehead. Niome, who was still out of it, got walked to Ms. E's chair by Ms. Haven. "Sorry ma'am." Ms. Haven said, putting her head down and closing her eyes.

Ms. E sighed and held Niome's face up to hers. 

A few minutes Niome walked out. "Are you okay?" Tory asked, more curious than empathetic. Niome turned to answer but- "Yes, he's fine, he just needs rest." Ms. Haven interrupted, putting a blindfold on Niome's eyes.

Weird, Tory thought.

----------

After the funeral, everyone lined up to pay their respects. Destiny was waiting behind Cosmo and saw something in his back pocket. "Log -10?" She said to herself.

"Hey Cosmo, mind if I see that paper in your back pocket?" "What paper... why is there a paper titled "Log -10 in my back pocket anyways?" Cosmo said without even turning around. "And yes you can have it I guess." 

"Future sight is definitely helpful." Destiny rolled her eyes as Cosmo handed her the paper.

----------

Jace was the last one in line to put down his flowers. As he went to put them down he saw a paper mixed in with them. "Log Five..." He muttered. "Maybe this will have some answers."
