CHAPTER 8 written by hischameleon

Stinger woke up to see the aritificial sunlight that the Orion installed had hit. What time was it? Stinger slowly gets up from the bed, and closes the curtains of the infirmary room, to prevent the light from blinding him. He grabs his 'damaged' shirt until he sees one of his a t-shirt with a green note on top of it. Stinger puts down the old shirt and goes to the bedside table to check on the t-shirt. He removes the note and reads it;

"Good morning! I got you your t-shirt from your room so you won't have to walk that far, why does your room have to far away from ours? Sorry for coming in there btw, if you're wondering where Yuna is, she's with us. In the observatory room. If you don't wake up by 9:00, I'll kill you! Just kidding. I hope you wake up soon."

— Hammie.

Stinger looks at the bed besides his, Yuna was gone. The blanket were properly folded.

"That girl...." Stinger laughs as he puts down the note. He carefully puts on the shirt and drinks the water bottle on the table. He finishes half of it. Stinger grabs everything he needed, his stuff from the table (along with the bottle) Stinger decides to not wear the jacket now and leaves the room.

Stinger enters the observatory room, noticing that everyone was downstairs, except for Raptor, Raptor was in the front, probably fixing something inside. Stinger retains his focus downstairs and meets the gaze of Yuna, smiling. He felt his heart melt.

"Yuna!" Stinger climbs down the stairs and went to Yuna, quickly hugging her. "I'm glad you're safe." Yuna smiles at what Stinger whispered to her. Yuna whispers back, "I missed you." Despite the room being cold, both felt warmth from each other. Stinger felt it, the one he had been longing for since his whole village died.

"Stinger...... too..... tight.."

Stinger moves back, apologizing for the sudden move.

Spada gives Stinger what he prepared for breakfast and the usual coffee he likes. Stinger sits down between Yuna and Kotaro. Right in front of him was Hammie, who just seems to have been 'playing' with her food within the last hour. Hammie meets his gaze and then suddenly looks at the other way, to Lucky who as always, blurting out stuff and being noisy. Stinger then looks at Yuna, Yuna was eating fruits, probably suggested by Spada. "Yuna? Have you—" Stinger begins to ask her something, but Spada cuts him off.

"Yuna already apologized to us, don't worry too much about it."

Yuna looks at Stinger and gives him a weak smile, then looks away from everyone, staring at her stomach.

"It's okay, neesan, we already understand the situation." Kotaro speaks. Everyone looks at him, asking whom he's referring to as a sister. Kotaro points to Yuna.

"Me?" Yuna points to herself. "I mean, I call Stinger 'Aniki' I guess? Is it okay if I call you 'neesan' Yuna-san?" Kotaro leaves his chair and went in between Yuna and Stinger. Yuna smiles. "Sure." And then everyone continues eating for 30 minutes, Lucky helped Spada gathers the cups and dishes from everybody and cleaned the table. Garu helped along too. The three left the room. Raptor left with Shou, looking like they were holding an important meeting. That leaves Champ, Naga, Balance, Naga, Hammie and the two scorpions.

Champ placed his dumbbell down on the ground and said that he was going to help Raptor with something, and left the room. Hammie looks at Naga whispering something to Balance about their plan, or something.
