We all follow the women-Bexie. Out of the room and out of the basement. I can't help but wonder about the fact that all it took for Bexie to notice Aiden was from Libertad quite concerning. 'Who else would notice it? And would they be as calm?' those thoughts kept repeating in my head like a broken record. Soon enough we reach three rooms. Bexie smiles softly before speaking 'Here you are, dears. Your rooms.' she says with a smile. Aiden seems to notice the fact there's three and there's four of us but doesn't want to seem pushy to ask and just smiles and nods, while going along with it. 'i assume one of us will have to share with another?' he asks and Bexie nods. 'yes, that's correct.' she responds. He nods as she turns around and walks off. I noticed Haruko and Navie share a knowing glance with a small smirk on their face. Haruko looks at me and Aiden and speaks up. 'well, me and Navie think you two should share the room, so you two have fun!' without room for argument they both make a mad dash to the other two rooms, running into one each. I noticed Aiden opening his mouth to speak but they are already gone before he can think of any words to get out. He just sighs and looks at me. 'well it seems we are stuck together.' he says. I look at him with a slight smile and I nod. 'Don't worry, I won't annoy you that much.' I say. He scoffs in response with a small, amused smile and he was over to the room-well our room. He opens the door and walks in and I follow behind him. I close the door behind me and start to look around the room. It's in the same style as every other room and house in this city. With two twin-sized beds-thank god. With a table to the side and a little kitchen as well. Aiden walks over to one of the beds and plops down and lays down on it with a sigh. 'jesus Christ... Is it bad I'm still not over the fact I literally fell into your world...' he says with a sigh. I smile and laugh quietly and walk over and sit down beside him. 'nah, honestly that's fair. Like I don't understand how you will ever understand the fact you fell into another world.' I respond. He smiles and chuckles slightly and sits up. 'i mean...true.' he pauses and seems to think of something. 'how do you think Andy and Amelia are doing? Like...' he trails off and looks down at his lap. I hum and look at him, his face filled with worry and vulnerability. I frowns slightly and gently lift his chin up so he can look at me. 'im sure they're fine, what's the worst that can happen?' I say, he pauses and shakes his head and rests his head on my shoulders, seeking comfort. 'i just- they don't know how to fight.... I always defended them, and now...' he sighs. 'they could be on deaths doorstep and I'm just here.' he says, guilty evadent in his voice. I frown and wrap my arm around his waist and pull him into a side hug. 'im sure they're fine. Don't worry.' I say. I don't believe it myself, but the more I calm him down, the better. We stay like that for a while untill we hear a knock at the door. I let go of him and stand up and walk over to the door, opening it. On the other side I see Haruko, he looks concerned. 'hey uh- can you and Aiden go back to the basement now? They have...they have something to show us.' he says, before I can say anything he runs down the hall to the basement. Shit, this is not good..

Me and Aiden walks to the basement and open the large door and walk inside. There is Navie, Haruko, Issa, Bexie, and other recruits. All looking concerned. They see Aiden and look more concerned, which unsettles me. Bexie speaks up, he calm voice filled with sorrow and worry. 'Aiden, dear.. we have something to show you.. you might wanna sit down.' she says. I noticed his expression changed slightly to a more concerned one. I reach for his hand and I genuinely hold his hand as we both sit down. Bexie looks at Issa before back to Haruko, Aiden, Navie and I. 'Aiden... We received a call, from the Alline.' she starts. I noticed Aiden tense up and he tightens his grip on my hand slightly. 'they...we accepted their call and... They wish to speak with you, if your okay with it, we can call them now and you can talk to them..' she says. He tenses up even more. 'w..what on earth do they even want?' he asks, in a shaky voice that breaks my heart. He sounds so scared of the people he once looked up to. Bexie shakes her head 'i don't know, dear.' she responds. Aiden pauses but nods. 'i..I'll talk to them.' he says. Haruko looks at him. 'are you sure? You don't have to..' he says softly. Placing a hand on his shoulder. Aiden shakes his head. 'it might help in the long run... I'll be fine.' he responds. Bexie shoots a look over to issa, she seems to understand it and on a big TV in front of us, appear two men, I assume are Alline soldiers or workers. Aiden instantly recognizes them and his gaze darkens and speaks in a cold tone. 'what do you want, Ajax and Kai?'
