After waking up from his comatose state, the Davis's, including Noll, had agreed that Gene is forbidden to go anywhere outside their home after sundown. Though Gene had managed to persuade their parents to let him stay in Japan, because Noll was staying there, he has not made any progress with the strict rule of 'sundown lock down' as he had named it. He tried, several times – pleading, begging, throwing tantrums, sometimes blackmailing his brother – but nothing worked. They kept him under tight watch after sundown. But he was 16, even though his body says otherwise, he needed to be the social butterfly that he is. And that is why Eugene A.J. Davis was tip toeing his way to the front door holding his shoes and bag on this rare silent night in his brother's flat.

A friend of his, met through a certain guitar playing monk, had invited him to a party a few days back. Being a party person that he is, Gene immediately said a 'yes' to said friend forgetting about his 'sundown lock down'. He was 16, technically 24, and he deemed that he was old enough to take care of himself. And so he found himself in his currently situation.

As Gene passed through the stairs and was slowly nearing his goal, the lights flickered on revealing a raven haired mirror image of him leaning on the front door. Said mirror image had mused hair and a pair of glasses on. His twin must've stayed up late again. Just his luck.

'Dammit! So close!' Gene cursed in his mind as he prepared himself for a lecture.

This wasn't the first time he tried sneaking out. And it also wasn't the first time that Noll had caught him in the act. He doesn't even know why his brother kept staying up late.

'Probably because Noll never sleeps.' Gene deduced, 'Idiot vampire scientist'

Gene flinched when his brother suddenly moved from the door towards him. From Noll's long and brisk strides, Gene could tell that his brother was irritated for having to catch him every single night. This makes it how many times now?

"Where do you intend to go this time, Gene?" Noll's voice cut through the room with sparks of ice.

The younger twin's eyes was passive as always but the glint of irritation was there. Also...worry.

"Err...I was just..." Gene's head was trying to come up with an excuse for the nth time this month and failing.

Noll glared at his brother, crossed his arms on his chest and began tapping a finger on an arm – a habit he developed over the years. Noll's patience was at its limit.

Gene sighed. He knew he can't get out of the situation and he obviously can't lie to his brother. So he took the only way out-tell the truth and be locked in...again.
