While in Xavier's arms i start to wonder, how did he find me? Or, why would he look for me.. or did he? Maybe he himself has something to do in the N109 Zone. And where is Sylus? I can't just disappear.

The thoughts drift inside of my head, i slowly recover from my drunken state. Some time passes and I find myself in the car next to Xavier. He drives us back home.

Sitting in the car, I feel a soothing calm wash over me as the familiar hum of the engine and the gentle rhythm of the road lull me into a state of peaceful contentment. The dark woods outside the window , long after midnight blur softly, the upcoming streetlights casting a warm glow as we glide through the night, each mile bringing me closer to the comfort of home. I can almost smell the scent of my room.

An enormous crash of lightning and thunder fills the sky, reverberating through the air. Its strength growing ever more intense as we move closer to Linkon City, i soon realize the storm is just about to begin.

A sudden weather warning pops on my watch, an emergency alert. Xavier gets it one second after me.

"We should be careful."

As the last words slip from Xavier's tongue, a sudden and violent gust of wind crashes from the side, snapping the trees before us like twigs. In a heartbeat, Xavier slams the emergency brake-

"WATCH OUT"

A squeaking sound of burned tires fills the air. His hand shoots out, gripping my chest to hold me in place. But it's too late; our heads collide with the cockpit of the car. My vision blurs immediately, and my consciousness slips away into nothingness..

Blue lights..

Red lights again..

And then blue lights..

Faster, and faster, switching between a bright red and a bright blue.

I wake up to a dizzying swirl of red and blue lights, flashing in chaotic rhythm.
Disoriented, i blink against the blinding colors, trying to grasp where i am.

Then with a sudden jolt of clarity, I turn to Xavier.

My heart drops. Blood everywhere-
Streaked across his face, pooling around his head, the stark crimson contrastingly sharply against his pale skin. His eyes closed, lifeless.
