{Orlaith's POV}
I couldn't believe it. I finally found my precious monitor! I'm back in the game, baby! I guess I must have dropped it while I was wasting my time with those kids at the skatepark few days ago. Come to think of it... The boy who had my monitor looked extremely similar to one of the kids at the skate park. I began to note the similarities.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KID FROM SKATEPARK:
About 168 cm tall. 0.52 gal weapon. Very nice hair. Usually dark blue.
KID WITH MONITOR:
About 168 cm tall. 0.52 gal spotted in room. Very nice dark blue hair.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I gasped and almost fell out of the tree I was hiding in. This kid was the same one as the one I met in the skate park! "Of course. I probably dropped the monitor there and he picked it up..." I'm such an idiot. As I was pouting, I noticed two more inklings and hid behind the leaves of the tree. One was a grown man, the other a fairly young female. The female looked so familiar...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GIRL AT SKATEPARK:
About 161 cm tall. Splattershot weapon. Orange hair which is tied up in the back.
GIRL FROM LIKE 5 SECONDS AGO:
Seemingly 161 cm tall. Carrying a Splattershot. Orange hair, tied up in back.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That girl was also the one from the skatepark. I knew it... I have to capture them and bring them to Nami and DJ Octavio. Then, Nami would finally accept me! Maybe I could bait those two... Or ambush them...
I shook my head. I can't hurt someone again. The boy with my monitor seemed so nice.
He reminded me of... Him...
A couple of tears began to roll down my cheeks. I wiped them away and held up the monitor, and noticed the screen was turning into static. "What in the world...?" I asked myself. The static began to take a shape, resembling an octoling with dark silver hair and seaweed headpieces. "N-Nami? Why are you contacting me? I told you, I'm on my own from now on." Nami sighed. "If you and I are talking, you obviously found the monitor. Good for you. Have you found those two yet?" I looked away and replied, "Uhm... Y-yeah, I... Found... Them... But I haven't captured them yet..." Nami slapped her forehead. "I should have known. You're still a failure. Can you even do ONE simple thing the right way? Ugh, fine. If you won't catch them-" the screen began to fade into static again. "-I will. And for goodness's sake, wear your goggles. I can't stand to look at your ugly face." Nami disappeared into the static. I stared at my reflection against the screen of my monitor. The purple marks under my eyes were still stained with tears. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my goggles. As they rested in my palm, I remembered his words...
"Why would you hide such a pretty face?"..."I love you. Promise me you'll never wear those goggles. That way I can see your beautiful face."
I was crying harder than I was before. I threw the goggles as far away as I could and hopped out of the tree. I promised him that I would never wear them...
Is this what he would have wanted? They are of the same species. I know he isn't here anymore, but if he saw me hurt his own kind, He would have been heartbroken... I thought to myself. I don't want to hurt them anymore. Nami will do that... And when Nami says she's going to hurt someone, she means business. Maybe, just maybe, I should protect those two from Nami.
I know for sure that would definitely make...him... happy.
