The moment she finished cleaning up her desk, Arise heard footsteps and turned her attention to the hallway to see Yukichi. "President.", she greeted. "Arise, please come into my office. I'd like to talk with you in there.", he said. "Alright.", she responded before getting up to go with him. Over in his office, they sat down and he placed a small cardboard box beside her. "A cardboard box?", she asked. "Yes, but there's something I have to say first.", he answered. "Does this have something to do with the deal you made with Mori last month?", she asked. "Yes. After a lot of thought during the past month, I've selected you to be the one who will be transferred into their ranks.", Yukichi responded. "Wasn't he alive when you made that deal with him?", Alondra asked. "Well, yes he was. But Mori is now dead.", he replied. "What?! How?!", she asked. "I'm not certain. But the culprit sent me this cardboard box early yesterday afternoon with the request for me to give it to you the next time I called you into my office to privately speak with you.", he responded. "I see.", she said before getting up and grabbing the cardboard box from off his desk. "Just where are you going?", he asked. "Home for the evening. I have a strong feeling about who sent you this cardboard box.", Arise replied before turning herself around to leave his office and make her way out of the four story tall building. After getting back to her apartment and entering, she went to her bedroom to put the cardboard box on the floor beside her futon and then headed to the kitchen to eat dinner. After this, she came back to her room and opened up the box to see it had an amethyst necklace in it.
