Inside the building Nero felt more than saw his fellow knights' hateful glares.

He'd put his life on he line how many times, just for more hatred.

The simple and close minded people of Fortuna were afraid of what they couldn't control.

They'd feared him even before he got his demonic appendage. He had been too loud,brash, and rude for their tastes and stayed away from him to show it. Not that he cared though. He had Kyrie and unfortunately Credo too. He didn't need them.

Remembering this he just walked faster and flipped off anyone who stared even a fraction of a second too long. By time he got to the door of Credo's office his arm and trigger finger were worn out. As a consequence he was forced to take his bandages off of his demonic arm and open the door.

"Credo, you wanted to see me?" Nero asked slightly put off by the rooms decor. The room was a monotonous black and white like the rest of the building. The only furniture within the room was the large sedar desk, a leather chair, and a plush black chair in front of the desk. Nero did not remember the office looking like this. He should know, he's always getting in trouble and sent to this very office.

The leather chair turning to face him brought Nero back to reality.

"Of course. I always want to see you Nero. But this does not involve us. It involves solely you." Credo said while staring longingly at Nero..'s body.

"Yeah, yeah. Just tell me what I gotta do." Nero said dismissively.

Frowning, Credo complied with a sigh. " There have been sightings of a red and black demon near and in Fortuna castle. You must go to the castle and kill the demon."

"Fine, when?"

"Tomorrow, at eight."

"Whatever. Just gimme time to say bye to Kyrie."

And with that he left slamming the door behind him.

Nero took a rooftop route to his dingy apartment. He got inside and locked the door. Not that I need to. Everyone either hates me and won't come near me or is afraid of me. Nero thought agitatedly.

Shuffling further inside his 'home' he undressed as he went. Suddenly feeling drained he peeled back the covers on his lumpy bed and laid himself under the blue and black sheets and comforter. He fell asleep to dreams of snowy white, ice blue, and crimson red.

-Ro

...-Ero!

-Nero!

A sky blue eye cracked open to see one of his commanders standing before him. It took him a second to gain his bearings and look at his clock while ignoring the stout, useless, blond commander.

" -Or late!"

Nero continued to ignore the man while reading his analog alarm clock with a nagging feeling in the back if his mind. 

I feel like I'm forgetting somethi-

" Holy shit, I'm late!" Nero yelled and shoved the other man out. He seemed to be grumbling something along the lines of I told you that already, but Nero didn't care. He was late and needed to get going to Kyrie's house soon.

Alarm clocks are useful, but only when you actually set the alarm.
