^ Maybe you'll get this feeling after reading the chapter...


A few months ago...

Zilong: Hey, Natalia! Looks like you're visible today!

Natalia: ...

Zilong: So, how was your day?

Natalia: I don't answer meaningless questions.

Zilong: But you just did.

Natalia: ...

Natalia throws a glare at Zilong, who is completely unfazed.

Zilong: You're always so busy, though. I've never even seen you smile. What's the point of being a hero if you aren't happy with your job?

Natalia: Are you saying I should be a villain?

Zilong: No, that would be a horrible idea! 

Natalia: ...

Zilong: I just think you should just take a break once in awhile.

Natalia: Who else is going to do all the work?

Zilong: What do you do anyway? Maybe I could help with a few things.

Natalia: No. I don't trust you to do anything right. You also fail in the stealth department.

Zilong: How?

Natalia: You shout whenever you leave.

Zilong: But that doesn't mean I can't try to help you.

Natalia: ...

Zilong: ...

Natalia: I never asked for help.

Zilong: You look like you need some.

Natalia: ...

Zilong: ...

Natalia: ...

Natalia tries to go, but Zilong blocks the way.

Zilong: I'm not letting you leave until you tell me what I can do.

Natalia: ...

Natalia tries to move away again, but Zilong uses his spear to flip Natalia back.

Natalia: Stop.

Zilong: No.

Natalia: Fine.

Zilong is shocked that Natalia had agreed so quickly. 

Zilong: Are you going to tell me wh-

Natalia takes Zilong by surprise and kills him. He should've known that Natalia was going to do that. She was the back-stabbing kind of person. Literally.

Stalker/Announcer: An ally has slain an enemy!

Zilong: Natalia!

Natalia: ...

Natalia disappears into a bush. There was no way of telling where she went unless he revived. And that wasn't going to happen anytime soon. Zilong stays there for a few more seconds before leaving. He goes off to find Gord. It's always fun to see him rage about the smallest things.

Two days after that event...

Clint: Howdy, Zilong.

Zilong: Hey.

Clint: Nice necklace you got there.

Zilong: What necklace?

Zilong looks down to see a grey crystal attached to a red strip of fabric looped around his neck. There were five golden slashes, two which were horizontal, three vertical.

Zilong: Huh? I don't think I was wearing this yesterday...

Clint: That's strange. Anyways, happy belated birthday!

Zilong: Wait, when was my birthday again?

Clint: ...

Zilong: ...

Clint: ...

Zilong: It's been a rough few days. I keep trying to get Roger to join the heroes instead of staying neutral.

Clint: He doesn't seem like it, but he's real stubborn.

Zilong: That's true. I'm going to go check up on him. And remember... HEROES NEVER FADE!

Clint: Yup...

Clint and Zilong part ways. In the following days, Zilong completely forgets about the necklace.
