Aungpao was slowly losing hope that they would be able to achieve anything when suddenly a person posing as Tu Tontawan came out of the doctor's office. She took her phone out of her purse, wrote a message, pushed her hair back and walked forward with a confident step. This also did not resemble the real Tontawan, who moved gracefully but modestly, did not carry her head high.

“I'll follow her, I'll watch her. If anything happens, I'll let you know, and you try to ask Gemini somehow. He must know something”, Aungpao made the decision for both of them, believing that this was the best solution.

“Me?” Chokun pointed at himself.

“Yes, you, do you see anyone else here besides us?”

“Why does it always have to be me?”

“Because you came up with it, one, and two, I'll watch our suspect”.

“Okay, fine. But what am I supposed to tell him?”

“The truth is best thing you can tell” Chokun almost jumped in place and almost tripped over his own feet when he suddenly heard Gemini's familiar voice behind him.

“I... Uh... No... I don't...”

“Calm down, no one is killing you and no one will torture you. I don't think so. There's nothing to be afraid of. You wrote me a disturbing message. What's the matter?”

“A-are you not mad at us?” Aungpao asked, stuttering slightly. Everyone in this building knew that Gemini spread fear and terror here. Few people wanted to hang out with him, and it was best to give him a wide berth, but now they had no other choice but to work with him to save Fourth (Aungpao believed he was the one in the greatest danger) and most likely protect the Institute.

“And do I have a reason for that?  I think I have no reason to be angry with you for now, but if you don't tell me what this message is about, I might get angry, and then the consequences will be dire, and we would rather avoid that, right? If you lured me here just to waste my precious time, then forget it, but if you have something really important, tell us”

“Stop terrorizing and blackmailing us, we are not your enemies, and in case you forgot, you yourself made Fourth your enemy, and now it is probably you who brought danger to him, so kindly start treating us the way we deserve”, Chokun, who preferred to sit quietly during classes and not speak unnecessarily, now gained a strange, previously unknown courage, which most likely resulted from the fact that Aungpao was watching them. Chokun wanted to be better, braver in the eyes of his friend for some reason.

“Okay, okay, I promise to be nicer if your information is valuable.”

“If our information is valuable?!” Aungpao echoed. “I think it will be very important. Okay, but there is no time for pointless discussions. Damn it, she ran away from us.”

Aungpao and Chokun looked around, but there was no sign of the person who posed as Tu Tontawan.

“Who ran away from you?”

“The person who pretends to be Fourth’s sister. That’s not the real Tu. We heard her conversation with that guy who brought Fourth. I’m afraid it’s a trap. That man wanted to get some information. Besides, listen for yourself, we recorded everything we could.”

Chokun showed Gemini the full recording of Pierre’s conversation with Tu.

“Now that’s a fucking smartass! That guy is Pierre Gasly.  His fiancé, or rather ex-fiancé, Yuki Tsunoda gave us both a fertility potion!”

“FERTILITY POTION?!” Chokun and Aungpao exclaimed at the same time, and after a moment, they covered each other's mouths with their hands, remembering that they shouldn't draw attention to themselves. Chokun looked around again, but fortunately it was only them in the corridor.
