Both Tighnari and Cyno meet in the most unexpected possible way.
In the common bathroom of a prison!
Cyno knew that he desires Tighnari the moment his eyes fell on him.
- Where... did he go?
- I can't believe that he left just like that.
- I will...

The next time Tighnari opened his eyes, it was already morning again. And he was lying on his bed in the room.
"He brought me back... when...?"
He got up from the bed and immediately looked at his finger. The ring really was there. It was not a dream. A smile appeared on his face as he kissed it. "How did he find something so beautiful..."
"Oh Dad! You are awake!", Collei came inside the room. "Today I made breakfast!", she said with a proud smile.
"You? Wait what time is it!? What about your school?"
"Its still early. 6:30 a.m.", Collei replied. "School bus will come at 7 a.m."
Tighnari got up from the bed and went outside. Collei had decorated the dining table with milk and bread. "I was wondering what you had made", he said and laughed. "What about your Papa? Where is he?"
"Papa said he had to leave early for work."
"Huh?... he didn't have breakfast?"
"Nope."
Tighnari became a bit worried. He had become a little too relaxed because of last day's proposal. "How can I be so relaxed at such a crucial moment... get a hold of yourself Tighnari ", he said to himself as he splashed his face with water.
He made Collei a few bacons and she loved them.
"I'll be going then Dad! Byeee", she said and got in the bus to leave.
Tighnari stood to watch until the bus was out of sight. His ears suddenly picked up a werid noise. "Who is there!?"
From the bushes, Clorinde popped out.
Tighnari looked at her with widespread eyes. "Who are you!?"
"I apologise for the inconvenience", Clorinde said and bowed down slightly before Tighnari. "I have been sent by Boss to look after Collei as her body guard. However, I find it much more efficient to not get emotionally attached to my client. So I have been keeping an eye on her from the sidelines"
"Cyno asked you to?"
"Yes"
Tighnari sighed. "He didn't even say anything to me... "
"I am Clorinde"
"Oh... OH! I am Tighnari"
"I will be taking my leave then. I have to follow the bus", Clorinde said and got on her bike. She turned it on and went away in a flash.
Her personality was a bit strange but since Cyno had himself selected her, Tighnari trusted his judgement. But what was he supposed to do now?
A visible look of dissapointment filled his face.
"Whatever I do... I don't think Father will fight back until I truly make myself vulnerable... and that was my original plan as well. I didn't care if that would've gotten me killed... as long as I could save Lisa. But... I can't do that anymore.", he said and looked at his ring yet again. He knew he could not carry on with any plan that would put his own life in danger. "I can't hurt Cyno..."
