Envy took Jason to what seems to be a small cabin. He helped Jason to a bed before replacing the handkerchiefs with bandages he had found in the drawers.

What's going on? Jason wondered. He watches Envy wrap the bandage around his wound. Are Sins really like this?

"Hey.. um... what should I call you?" Jason asked meekly.

Envy looks up at him, blinking blankly.

"A name.."

"Keep it Envy" He responded flatly. Envy finishes the bandages and stood up.

"About this world.. what exactly is going on?" Jason asked. "I mean why is it falling apart."

"I don't know." Envy said, sighing. "Things were.. a bit calmer before but lately it's getting worse.

"Worse.." Jason muttered. "What's going to happen to this place?"

Envy didn't answer, scowling. He hasn't thought of what will happen if the earthquakes gets worse. Things has been irregular for a while now.

"Envy.. Can you help me get back into my own world..?"

Envy pauses, trying to think of a careful answer. "I'm sorry, Kindness." He said. "Something's.. awfully wrong.. The other Sins..." He trails off.

"What.. Ah!" Jason remembers his encounter with Lust. "I saw Lust.. he looks so similar.."

"What?" Envy turns to Jason, his face darkening. "Did he do anything?" He asked in a way that made Jason freeze up. The atmosphere turned ominous and dark.

Jason couldn't breathe. Wh-what's going on...?

"N-no.." Jason managed out.

Envy softened up and the atmosphere changed back to normal. "Good, don't go near him."

Jason takes a deep breath and swallowed hard. That was scary.. He decided to let go on to the topic.

Envy looked through the cabinets in the kitchen, trying to find something that he can give to the Virtue. He got some crackers and handed it to Jason.

It was silent for a while. Envy looks through drawers and cabinets. He found some bread which is still edible and handed it to Jason. Jason shakes his head. "I'm sorry.. I lost my appetite.." He scratches his neck. "After that two kids... I just..." He trails off.

Envy remembers Seto looking for a symbol on his neck. "Hey.. Kindness, what's on your neck?" He asked.

"Oh it's.. a symbol.." Jason muttered.

"Can I see?"

"S.. sure.." Jason turns his neck. Envy can see the symbol clearly. He squinted and noted that the symbol emitted a soft red color.

I thought he didn't have any abilities.. Envy scowls. The symbols don't normally give off any color.

"Is something wrong?" Jason asked.

Envy shakes his head. "No.. I was just.. thinking." He smiles at Jason. "It looks pretty cool."

Envy... why are your smiles... so dull?

Seto went in first. He felt his feet touching the other side. He looked back at everyone else and gives a nod before stepping fully inside. The next thing he knows is that he's in the middle of a grassfield.

He frowns. It should have lead to the mirrored area of where he was. Sky appeared behind Seto, stumbling and dazed. He carried a sword tightly in his hand.

"Where are we?" Sky asked as he looked around.

Seto scans the area, spotting something that looks a bit familiar. "Look over there." He pointed in one direction. Sky followed his finger, scowling before his eyes widen.

"Was.. Is that the kingdom?!"

Seto nodded slowly. "What's left of it at least." It was as if a disaster had came through and tore apart the buildings.

"So the Sins.. they're here?" Sky asked warely. "Do you think they're near us right now?"

"I have no idea..." Seto looks up at the sky, finding it grey and full. It was impossible to tell what time it is. It was evening in our world.. He thought.

"Let's check out the kingdom." Sky said. "Jason might be hiding inside there."

The two started their way to the Mirrored Realm of their kingdom.
