A man with a bunch of packages looked at his watch impatiently."Where are they?" He said with a deep voice. "They're late of course, typical." His watch clicked as it seemed to go faster, he thought that his watch was also waiting impatiently.
The song he loved came on, along with the people he was waiting for. "Ah, Ten faced." The first one said. "Isn't this you're favorite song Shioto?" Shioto gave a slight nod. It reminded him of his daughter, Yumi."She is a feisty one Shioto." The second one said. "She has the heart of an angel but wings of a devil." They all stayed silent for on minute. "She has to go with them." Shioto said with a dull voice. The first one froze for a second. "Why?!" He finally said. "She's just a girl, not some kind of superhero! Miyata! You know her! You know that! Yumi is your neice! Start treating her like one and stop this madness!" Miyata looked startled as if he hadn't seen this side of him before.
"I-I-I-" Miyata stammered. She look down at the ground and cried, tears streaming down her face, slowly making its way to the floor, but no one noticed. Miyata's eyes burned with despair and making her feeling useless and helpless. "If I help her." She thought. "I won't get that promotion, I won't earn Shioto's trust. He'll even hate me. If only he knew..." Miyata's couldn't stop thinking about what would happen if she was fired from the lab. "If you're not going to say anything, why did we even hire you?" The second one said.
"She's my daughter of course." Said Shioto. "But you have to admit, Kirigaya, she doesn't like the surface world, it's been destroyed too much. Even if your son will miss her. I know how close they are to being... That word. Anyways, clearing the world of only some humans, leave the rest to expand only for them to die, you know the cycle."
Kirigaya looked mad. "If she loves him then put him down here with her. It's not just an experiment Shioto, if you believe they're just lab rats with no purpose other than to serve you, that makes you a heartless creature." He said. "You can't tear families, friends, maybe even lovers apart and just 'expect' them to move on."
Shioto ignored him. "We'll put the whole school and block down there then, it will make the variables much more higher ranking." He said. "Just don't expect them to get help. They have to find they're own way out."
