Song: Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood, Lana Del Rey

She saw Zack moving towards her desk and abruptly stood up, hurrying out of the classroom. She saw Vasco coming from down the hall, eyes wide when he caught sight of her. She turned the corner quickly

She ran right into Eli.

"YN. I was looking for you."

"For what."

Eli rolled his eyes. "You know damn well for what. What the hell are you thinking?"

"I'm not thinking." Well that made me sound bad. "I'm surviving." Now I sound AI generated. "You of all people should know."

"Surviving what? We're family, YN. What is it you're so intent on running away from??"

My inevitable death from my genetic condition?? Though, she had never told him.

Well she wished the fact that she was in danger would've been enough for her to try to survive anyways... "I am trying to live. In Club Vivi I was drugged and trapped. You knew this. And still you didn't make it up because fucking Yenna's toy?" She felt bad shouting, but Gun's words steeled her mind. (ch. 77. Generational Crashout) The world only cares about results.

She was growing more pissed as she thought about it. "I'm sorry Eli, but I need to take steps to protect myself if no one else will do it."

"YN, you're literally fine now. Look, I'm sorry for that, but I'm a father too, and Yenna can't protect herself."

YN was pretty sure her eye was twitching with rage. "Ahh so the life of your daughter's plastic toy (ch. 76. The MOST Sigma) is more important than your sister. And you're right. I am fine. No thanks to you or anyone else." She sighed. Plastic toy. "Whatever Eli. Just stay away from me. For your own safety. If you're not going to be able to win, don't bother with me. It will just put everyone else in danger. And even if you guys don't feel the same, you guys were more important to me than my own life... WERE."

She stalked off, leaving Eli looking pensive under his shock of blond hair. She didn't get far before encountering Zack, leaned against a wall.

"Hey smartass," he greeted.

"Zack," she responded humorlessly, not in the mood. Already her resolution to avoid everyone was broken.

"So are you going to explain what happened? (ch. 78. Shades of Gray) First you turn out to be one Worker's side, then Daniel joins too. He did it to save Johan though, and he might be getting blackmailed. What's up with you? What's your plan? Infiltrate from the inside? You're supposed to be the smart one."

That had been the plan, to get Sinu out (ch. 66. Expected and Unexpected Endgames), back when she had allied with Daniel, and Samuel (ch. 67. brat), but she felt as though she had lost sight of the vision. "There is no plan. I've joined–" The words felt icky. "I'm partnered with Workers."

Zack frowned. "Are you really going to do that to Johan?"

Johan Johan Johan SHUT UP about Johan... "Johan doesn't care about me–"

"Yes the fuck he does?"

"--and I need to protect myself. I'm sorry Zack, but there's a whole lot of things happening that I'm right in the middle of."
