- Option 2 has been chosen-

"Well... I've known the old woman for many years, and I believe she knows what she is talking about," Nana replies to Jeno, feeling like they should look more into what she was saying.

Although a lingering fear still made itself present in the small decision, Nana couldn't help but want to at least try. Maybe Jeno had a point, maybe it was a good idea to go see the woman and ask for more advice. The only bad side is the slight confusion with her words, and the unknown difficulty of that action.

Jeno thought for a moment before nodding, agreeing with that decision and thinking it could be the best way.

Taeyong scoffed, still not seeming convinced, but what roll does he really have here? He's only here to help, not to interfere with what they're doing.

Mark smiled and nodded, nudging his brother's side since he could sense the ungrateful-ness.

"So where do we start?" Jeno asked carefully, trying to remember every detail from what the woman said. It seemed that they may have to put themselves in a risky situation.

"Well," Taeyong started, hoping they would at least go with him in this, "we're already half way through the night and I doubt that we'd be able to figure something out soon. We should think this over, and take action tomorrow night."

Nana nodded, completely agreeing as Jeno softly sighed. He didn't want to keep the men waiting any longer, probably bruising their wrists from restraints and being tormented by his awful boss. But they couldn't charge into the real world, somehow kill their monsters mentally, and then everything's all happy again. Unfortunately the world didn't make things that easy.

The first step is always the hardest to figure out, and that's just what they had to do.

After flying quietly back to the reflection of Jeno's house, the four of them got themselves settled in the living room in an uncomfortable silence, trying their best to think of something, if anything.

"If we have to kill the monsters inside of our minds first, then I would assume we go into the real world with clear minds," Jeno said while tapping his chin, leaning back on the couch next to Nana's right side.

"That's what I was thinking too," Nana agreed and rested his hands in his lap.

"Are you guys sure about this? It's like walking into combat with nothing but a clear mind. You need weapons to win a war as well," Taeyong revolted, but actually proved a very good point.

"So what do you suppose we do?" Jeno asked, a hint of sarcasm, but genuinely hoping he had some sort of intelligent idea.

Taeyong thought for a moment, twirling his pink hair in one hand while contemplating.
