Once the light disappears from Nikko's view he sees himself in a room, a bedroom but more civilized and ordinary then before, he quickly looks out of the window and sees he's in a city a bit more advanced cities on his earth. Suddenly a knocking can be heard from the bedroom door he is in "come in" Nikko says while grasping his blade's handle, then a girl around Nikko's age opens the door and walks in with a guy behind her the same age. Nikko eyes them down suspiciously and then the teen male says "nah don't worry man, we're friendly whoever you are" then Nikko slowly lets go of his sword and says hi while stating his name. "Hi, Nikko i'm jessica!" the girl says "Sup, I'm john" the guy says, Nikko only staying suspicious due to the trial "uugh calm down, it's fine hehe let's go be friends" Jessica takes Nikko's hand and walks him out of the room. "You sure you don't wanna take that armor off?" Nikko nods his head yes and then the trio walk out of what seems to be an apartment room in an apartment building. John asks Nikko about what music he likes, Jessica's eyes brighten while looking at Nikko "um, anything EDM really, but any music as long as it sounds good to me is pretty good" John gives a thumbs up while Jessica asks Nikko if she could listen to the music he listens to. Surprised, Nikko finds his phone and his earphones in his chest plate, then he turns his phone on and let's Jessica listen while the three walk down the road.

As they walk together, Jessica enjoying the music, John casually walking besides her and Nikko being stared at because of his armor, they walk past an arcade and Nikko quickly stops walking and stares at the arcade in the excitement. Nikko keeps looking at the arcade with the eyes of an excited pup, while Jessica and John both laugh at Nikko's cuteness and enthusiasm for the arcade. John taps Nikko's shoulder asking if he wants to go inside and Nikko shakes his head yes rapidly "Tooo cute! Haha" Jessica exclaims while laughing as they all walk inside. Once they enter the arcade, Nikko quickly runs past a few arcade games and spots one intriguing game, John and Jessica quickly catching up.

Jessica: so you're a gamer huh?

Nikko: big gamer, oh lord I love games so much!

Jessica: it seems you really like being cute too

Nikko: hey! It's not my fault I'm just automatically cute ok thanks! Hmpf!

John: haha well anyway do you wanna play?

Nikko: dude yes!

John inserts some money into the arcade cabinet and Nikko quickly starts playing, both Jessica and John staring at him

Jessica: geez...you're really good at this

John: I mean n-not that good

Nikko: I'm not playing at my best let me listen to my music please

Jessica: oh! Sure

Jessica hands Nikko his earphones and Nikko quickly starts playing and breaking highscores without any trouble

John: is music like your stat buff in gamer language?

Nikko: giant stat buff yeah, and holy f*** this is fun!

Jessica: um, people are gathering around us like some sort of cult...

People gather around and watch Nikko in amazement as he plays the arcade game

John: you're so fast how in the world?

Nikko: this isn't that good, I could do better with a bit more experience

John: are you f-what? You kidding me? This is the best anyone has ever done at this

Nikko: well I guess I'm just awesome hahaha-aww...I died
